Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman's Indifferent Sinner Wife

Chapter 735

“It’s been a long time since we ate a meal together.”

“Mm.”

“You…” Zac pursed his lips. “Are you still angry?”

John looked at him. “It’s useless getting angry. The situation is not under your control either.”

He smiled self-deprecatingly. “Actually, Liv is right. You are more tolerant and patient than I am.”

“Did she say so?”

“Yes.” John felt awkward. He lowered his head and took a slow sip of tea. ” Are you going to snatch the Quinton Group back?”

Zac nodded. “Yes.”

“I can help you. If you need anything, you can tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

Zac was startled. They had not talked for four years.

Everyone thought they had become enemies, even Zac himself.

“By the way, I should be thanking you.”

“Thanking me?

Zac looked at him with astonishment. “I rarely hear you thank others.”

“I didn’t understand before. However, when I think about it now, if it weren’t for you, I would never have had the chance to see Liv again.”

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, other than regrets, John felt fear striking him.

More than once, he had almost killed Olivia, the woman he loved.

If she died, he would never forgive himself.

“I did all those because I have feelings for her,” Zac paused and asked, “I heard you fainted last time. Are you alright?”

“What did Ken tell you?”

“No, Liv told me.”

John smiled. “Nothing. I fainted out of tiredness.”

Then, he glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting late. I have to send Sam back. I’ll call you some other day.”

“Okay.”

John got up and went to the kitchen to look for Sam. He bit farewell and left with Sam.

After they left, Olivia approached Zac and said, “Zac, why do I feel like you’re in a good mood?”

“Is that so?”

“Well, being on bad terms with John made you feel bad, didn’t it?”

Zac was afraid Olivia would think too much and smiled as he said, “Are you thinking too much again? I am a woman of justice. He made mistakes years ago, and it’s natural for US to argue. That doesn’t have anything to do with our friendship.”

Olivia patted him on the shoulder. She said, ‘You’ll see. The Internet and the media will question your relationship.”

All of them had already guessed that would happen.

After all, the dispute between them was an uproar back then. Now that they were financing Sam, it would raise plenty of doubts.

When Olivia got up, Zac had already gone to the Quinton Group.

However, looking at online comments, she worried that Jimmy would look fortrouble. What she feared most was them knowing he had lost his hearings.

So, she and Mrs. Simmons went to get some ingredients to make chicken soup. When it was about 11.00 a.m., they went out with the soup.

By the time they reached Quinton Group, it was already noon.

“Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, a hand stopped the elevator door from closing, and a figure came in quickly.

He turned around to thank Olivia. When he lifted his head, their eyes met, and they were startled.

“It’s you?”

“It’s you?”

Olivia was puzzled about why he was there. “Are you the man who barged into my wedding place to see me?”

Aaron smiled apologetically. ‘Yes. It’s me. I’m sorry to cause such a scene. You look… just like her.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Olivia shook her head. “I’m used to it. I don’t mind.”

“Really?”

“Yes. By the way, what are you doing here? Do you work here?”

‘Yes, in the finance department.”

The finance department? Olivia frowned. Aaron majored in design, and he knew nothing about finance.

Moreover, he worked at Quinton Group, of all places in the city.
