Chapter 717

Chapter 717 In Elegance Gardens.

The two were in a good mood since returning from Bay Park. They told Mrs. Wallace to prepare a delicious meal and even invited Ken over for dinner.

Olivia was in a good mood, and she drank throughout dinner until her face was flushed.

“Liv, stop drinking. You’re going to get a headache later.”

Olivia touched Zac’s teacup with her glass. “It’s fine. I’m in a good mood today.”

After saying that, she pulled Ken aside and said happily,” Ken, it’s such a waste that you weren’t there earlier. Jimmy’s face was as stiff as metal during the interview. I can already imagine that there will be at least three people who can’t sleep tonight, haha...”

Ken snatched her cup away. “You’re really drunk now. You’ve said that for the fourth time.”

“Really?”

Olivia was in a confused state, and she propped her head with her hands. She burped, then laughed foolishly.

“Maybe I’m in such a good mood that my memory has deteriorated.”

Suddenly, she pouted her lips and sighed. “Like I said, alcohol is a good thing. If you drink too much, you won’t remember the unhappy things. Come on, let’s drink some more!”

Then, she reached out for her glass, but just as she was about to touch it, her eyes closed, and she passed out.

Luckily, Zac was fast enough to support her head with his head. If he had not, her face would have hit the table.

Zac and Ken looked into each other and smiled helplessly. ” Bring her upstairs for me.”

“Alright, sure.”

“It’s rare to see her this happy. I can rest assured now.”

Ken looked down at Zac. “You’re overthinking. Whatever decision that Liv made was definitely out of choice, and she was happy to marry you to begin with.”

Zac pursed his lips and kept quiet.

“Zac, sometimes I feel like if you and John could meld your personalities together, things might be better.”

Zac was confused and looked up at him. “Why?”

Ken sighed. ‘The two of you are completely different. One of you is too dedicated and selfless and likes to be unknown, while the other has a domineering temper with possessive desires and will never give up until he reaches his goal.

However, do you know that the former will make her feel more like a friend that she can never take a step closer to? As for the latter, she will choose to run away. The more you trap her, the further she runs, until no one can reach out to her.”

After saying that, Ken shook his head. “That’s why the Hemsworth guy got a chance. If you two didn’t marry by coincidence, I am afraid you might not be able to beat him...”

Hearing such words, Zac fell into deep thought for a moment.

Even after Ken sent Olivia back to her room and came back down, he was still staring at the night sky in a daze.

“Stop thinking about it. It’s useless to think without action.”

“She...” Zac said lightly, “She still likes John, and I don’t want to cause more trouble for her.”

Ken was speechless. “That’s why I say you are too considerate. Especially when it comes to Olivia. You’re beyond considerate with her.”

“When we were in Murica, she panicked after she found out my feelings toward her, and she looked at me with guilt.

That made me...”

“So, are you trying to be John’s stepping stone?” Ken sneered. “Even that stubborn John has changed. Can’t you feel it?”

Of course he felt it. Ever since the news of Olivia’s death came through, John had changed.

Zac took a look at the starry night sky and smiled. “It’s destiny.”

‘It’s not that I don’t want to fight for it. It’s that I can’t.

‘I am a deaf cripple now, and I am still fighting against my father and the rest of the Quinton Group. I can’t promise her anything.

‘Plus... I am the son of Jimmy Quinton. I’m really afraid that I might betray her.

‘Just take me as a coward, a hypocrite, and a useless man.’
