Chapter 619 âMiss?â
Mrs. Simmons came out and grabbed her. âMiss, itâs windy out here. Come back in.â
Olivia finally regained her senses and wiped her tears. âYeah. Letâs go.â
âMiss, Mr. Quinton is a good man. Much better than your previous one. I am happy that you can marry him.â
âHe is a good man indeed.â
âI can see that Mr. Quinton really loves you and he is gentle and caring. You will definitely not suffer. You can even have children, and I can take care of them for you.â
Hearing these words, Olivia was stunned, and she laughed. âMrs. Simmons, that is way too far off to think. of.â
âItâs not far off. How old are you now? If you donât have children soon, I will be too old to take care of them.â
Olivia could not tell her about the fake marriage, and she did not want to talk about children either, so she said, âMrs. Simmons, I didnât take my shower yesterday. Iâll take one now.â
âAlright sure.â
After going upstairs, Olivia let out a sigh of relief.
Children... were a sensitive topic for her.
She lost two babies back then and had no idea if she could have another one now. Besides, she already had Lyla. It was more than enough.
She had no intention to give birth to another child with anyone.
Just as she was unpacking her clothes, her phone rang.
âPhoebe James, are you crazy? How old are you? Whatâs with the sudden marriage?! If Fred didnât let it slip... Were you not planning to tell me?!â
Jennie was mad and could not stop blabbering. âDidnât you tell me that you had no desire to get married again? How many days have you been back in your country? How can you get married already? What are you even thinking? How about our atelier?
You...
Hearing her rant, Olivia could not help but chuckle. âAre you done?â
âNo way! I can continue this for days!â
âGo on, then. I shall listen while I shower.â
âGet back here!â
Olivia sat down again. âMs. Sutherland, what else do you want to say about me?â
Jennie was speechless. âI am not trying to scold you. I just canât understand you. Am I not allowed to ask as a friend?â
âJust ask whatever you want to know, and I will answer all of it.â
âSo who is the guy that youâre getting married to? How many days have you known him?â
âHeâs the man that invested in my atelier startup, and as for how long have we known each other...â Olivia teased. âWeâve known each other for six years. How many days do you think that is?â
âWhat? Him?â
Jennie took a while to digest the information and then asked, âWhy?â
âWhat do you mean, why?â
âWhy get married,and why choose him?â Jennie said coldly, âPhoebe James, donât even think of lying to me. Although weâve only known each other for three years, I wonât believe you if you say that itâs because of love.â
Hearing this, Oliviaâs expression darkened.
Everyone wanted an answer, but she felt that it was not important at all.
Even if they were to marry for love, they would still end up in a grave anyway.
âWhatâs the difference?â
She then bit her lips. âJennie, if I tell you that heâs Lylaâs father, will it be easier for you to accept?â
âWhat?â
Jennie raised her voice and continued asking in disbelief, âIs he your ex-husband? Isnât Lyla the child of your ex-husband? Wait, no... I am confused...â
âJennie, I know you care about me, but donât worry. I thought through everything before I made a move Itâs not an impulsive move, and I wonât make the same mistakes I did back then.â
âPheebs...â
Jennie was indeed worried about her.
After a short moment, she asked, âXavier went to Ocean City to look for you. Do you know that?â
âYeah, I saw him.â
âHeâs pretty stubborn, and I donât think he will give up on you easily.â As she spoke, she thought of something else. âRight. Iâve sent the design of the ring for Mr. M to the factory. But I canât get in touch. with him. Can you ask him for his address?â
âMr. M...â
Just as Olivia was thinking, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Mr M himself.
