Chapter 698
Olivia froze before immediately withdrawing her gaze and glancing coldly at him instead. “You’re overthinking.” “Why won’t you look at me? Are you guilty?”
Olivia withdrew her hand. “Cut the crap! Compared to that, I’d like to know what you told Ian to make him so much less hostile to me?”
Unexpectedly, John smiled mysteriously. “That’s a secret.”
‘A secret?’
Olivia pushed him away indignantly. “Forget it if you won’t tell. Get out. I’m getting changed.”
‘No more massages?”
Olivia opened the door and pushed him outside. “No thanks.”
After closing the door, she went to the balcony to ensure no one was there before grabbing a random outfit from the closet and changing into it.
Then she rested in her room. She waited until the groceries were delivered before walking out of the room.
John brought several large bags of groceries into the kitchen and could not help sighing. “Are you going to cook all this at once?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you well enough to cook them all?”
Olivia ignored him and put the dishes on the counter. She pondered about how to work at the same time and set to work.
“Cut these and wash them.”
With that said, she pushed a pile of vegetables to John.
John looked at the vegetables and then at her. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
‘She looked afraid of me when we got reunited. Why did she… look at ease ordering me around?
‘Is it because I’m nice? Or was it Zac?’
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. ‘Why was Zac able to change her so easily?’
Suddenly, he had speculation.
Just then, Olivia turned her head around to glance at him. “Why do you keep staring at me? I’m not a vegetable.”
John froze for dozens of seconds before finally asking, “Liv, have you fallen for Zac?”
Olivia stopped what she was doing and stared at him for some time. “What does it have to do with you whether I’ve fallen for him?”
“I…”
“John, if you don’t want to be my sous chef, you can leave. I can call Ken to come over. It’s the same.”
It was no doubt a warning that he would be kicked out if he asked more questions.
John began to panic. ‘I just saved her. Why is she so indifferent…
‘If she has fallen for Zac, doesn’t that mean I won’t even have a chance to repent?’
Olivia glanced at him and sneered when she turned around.
It was nothing compared to the harm he had caused her.
She used to be afraid, but she now wanted revenge.
Since he wanted to atone so badly, he had to do more. He could not expect her to change her impression of him just because he was nicer.
Above all, she found herself in love with the thrill of revenge.
They spent almost four hours in the kitchen before they finished making the meal.
When Ian walked down the stairs, the smell of each dish beckoned to him, making him gulp.
“Can I eat now?”
“Yes. You’re not allowed to leave leftovers.”
“Then I won’t hold back.”
Ian took the cutlery and first picked up a piece of fish. “Yummy. That’s the taste.”
‘My sister’s cooking.’
Olivia could not help smiling when she saw him happy.
Her mother entrusted her brother to her before she died, but she was not always there for him.
Although she had no choice, she failed to do her job. She hoped her mother would not blame her. She also hoped she could make up for it in the future.
Seeing Ian eat until the food was all over his mouth, Olivia took a tissue and helped him wipe it off. “Look at you. Take your time. You have food all over your mouth. If you like my cooking, I’ll come and cook for you whenever I have time, okay?”
Ian froze. Looking at his familiar yet strange sister, he nodded. “I won’t mind if you’re willing to do it.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
While they were eating, John’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it. His expression seemed a little more solemn when he got back.
