Chapter 714 âThatâs great! I...â
Before Olivia could finish, she turned to look at Zac, who was beside him, and the words that came out of her mouth took a sharp turn. âNext time. Iâm not free today. Please apologize to Sam for me.â
John was a little dejected. âYou donât even have time for a meal?â
âJohn, if I wanted to meet Sam, I donât want to just have a rushed meal with him. Do you understand what I mean?â
âYes. I know what to do now.â
Olivia pursed her lips. âOkay, please tell me beforehand after youâve set up another date.â
âSure.â
After hanging up the phone, Zac asked, âWhy did you say no? You clearly wanted to go.â
âIâve gotten Jimmy to come over to put on a show with us, so how can I just leave you there alone?â
Olivia kept her phone and added, âAlso, if Iâm not there, Jimmy is for sure going to do something. Heâs so evil! Iâm worried that heâll hurt you.â
Zacâs heart trembled. He looked at her with mixed feelings and said to her in a half-joking way. âLiv, if you keep this up, Iâm really afraid that I wonât be able to control myself.â
âHmm?â
âIâm saying that I would think that you...â
Zac chuckled lightly.
âNo worries, I was just joking.â
Olivia blinked and her sparkling eyes were looking everywhere as she smiled. âZac, just tell me when you get sick of me, then weâll get a divorce, and you can remarry. However, if youâre not sick of me yet, I would probably not ask for a divorce on my own initiative.â
Zac was stunned when he heard that. He stared intently at Olivia as if he was trying to figure out if she was being serious or if she was joking.
âIâm serious. At least, before you recover, before youâve gotten your revenge, Iâll always be by your side.â
âYou...â
âHowever, I donât want to lie to you. After going through all that, it seems like Iâve lost the ability to love, but to me, youâre an important presence, as important as Lyla and Ian.â
Zac smiled and held Oliviaâs hand. âItâs pretty good to have you by my side. I donât ask for anything more, and this is my truth.â
Then, he asked abruptly. âAbout Lyla... How did you explain that to John Freeman?â
âHow else could I have explained? I told him sheâs not related to him.â
âAnd he bought it?â
Olivia shook her head. âHeâs such a stubborn person. Once heâs set in his mind about some things, not even nine whole oxen could pull him back, so how could he have believed it?â
âYouâre right.â
When they arrived at Bay Park, Olivia pushed Zac as they strolled along the sea.
âIt felt like it has been a long time since Iâve seen such a quiet sea.â
âYou were often by the beaches. Of course, itâs a little more chaotic there.â
Olivia weaved her fingers through her hair. âYouâre right.â
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the sea as she zoned out.
The sea really did hold a lot of memories.
It had witnessed the sweetest moments of her life and also crushed her dreams.
However, no matter which feeling it was, it was related to that person.
Her phone rang at that time, and it was Jimmy.
âWhere are you, dad?â
âI... I see you two!â
After hanging up the phone, they could see Jimmy head towards them with a bunch of paparazzi.
Olivia leaned down and whispered to Zac. âLetâs put on a good show, Zac.â
Then, she pushed Zac to meet Jimmy as she called out sweetly, âWere you stuck in a jam, Dad?â
âYes.â Jimmy came up to hug Zac. âHow are you feeling, Zac?â
âPretty good.â
âWhere else do you want to go?
âItâs such a rare occasion that youâre here to walk with me, Dad. You should pick the place.â
Jimmyâs mouth twitched. âI wanted to go out to the sea, but I was afraid that you would not like it.â
Olivia looked at how âlovingâ this father and son pair were and scoffed in her heart. Then, she waved to the paparazzi.
âCome on, everyone, come and take more pictures! Hope you can help to clarify that my husband and his father really have a good relationship.
Weâre still investigating the cause of the accident, but it would never be Dad.â
Olivia turned to look at Jimmy. âRight, Dad?â
