Chapter 575 John grabbed her wrist and snatched the knife from her. Then, he threw it out the window.
âWhat are you doing?â
This time, he was angry. His eyes were cold and looked murderous.
Olivia stared at him for a moment and then laughed.
âYou wouldnât have set me up if I didnât look like your late wife, would you?
âYou wouldnât have released Jenson to kidnap me or paid TR to smear me, would you?â
John felt so aggrieved that his emotions were about to explode.
Why does this woman think I did it all?
âDid I not explain to her during the earthquake?â
He said he was trying to make amends. It was impossible for him to hurt her.
However, he did not bother to explain. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and then pressed her into the back seat.
They were close enough that Olivia thought their lips would bump into each other if the car experienced any turbulence.
She did not dare to breathe.
âDonât test my patience, Phoebe.â
âSo what if I do?â
Johnâs brows furrowed, and he stared at her coldly. âWhat do you think will happen?â
âJohn, you do enjoy the taste of toying with someone in the palm of your hand, donât you?â
Then, she sneered. âActually, I understand. I know who you are, but I donât want to admit it. Do you know why?â
âWhy?â
Olivia reached out and caressed his face, which had fascinated her for seventeen years.
His face was the same, but there was a gulf between them that could never be bridged.
For a moment, she looked at him and said calmly, âBecause you saved me.â
Her calm expression and words stabbed his heart.
It was impossible for him to not understand what she meant.
However, up to now, he still did not want to let her know that all this was someone deliberately framing him.
It was all because he did not want her to go to jail.
Perhaps he should have let her go, but he could not.
How could someone he loved, his woman, be in someone elseâs arms?
Their eyes gazed into each otherâs, and John lowered his head. He kissed those soft lips.
However, his kiss was light,and restrained...
Olivia was terrified. She wanted to push him away, but despite herself, a sudden glint of nostalgic emotion struck her, making her forget to push him away.
Johnâs kiss deepened, but he stopped halfway through it.
He could not go on, not wanting her to hate him any more. Regardless of how much he hated it, pulling back his urges was a must.
He reached out his hand and rubbed her lips gently. He smiled helplessly. âIt would be nice to start over.â
Oliviaâs expression changed, and she slapped John as she scolded, âYou are despicable! Shame on you! You talk about how much you love your ex-wife, but you cheated on her with me more than once. You men donât know what long-term love is!â
âWell, do you know, then?â
âOf course. I loved a man for seventeen...â
Before she could finish her words, she realized John was looking at her curiously, waiting for her to expose something. Then, she changed her words. âI loved an unfaithful man once, so I know what it means to love a person for a long time. Itâs pointless telling you this as youâre someone heartless who wonât understand.â
John let go of her and said nothing.
Sometimes, he wondered if he was out of his mind.
Every time Olivia scolded him, he was angry, amused, and even enjoyed it. It was better than if she said nothing.
It made him wonder if he was a glutton for punishment.
Suddenly, she squinted and pointed at his forehead. âJohn, your... head is bleeding.â
John felt a little dizzy. He touched his forehead and noticed something bright red was flowing down.
Then, with a wry smile, he said, âNothing. Itâs just blood.â
Then, he fainted.
âJohn? Johnny? Donât scare me!â
