Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 654
Olivia was taken aback. Then, she lifted her head to look over in shock. “Jennie?”
Jennie smiled and peeled the eggs as she looked at how shocked Olivia was. She complained. “You said all those things for my own good, but I also have the right to choose to bear the consequences, right?”
She walked over to Olivia with the peeled eggs. Then, she knelt before her. “Close your eyes. I’ll do it for
you.”
Olivia closed her eyes obediently and did not say anything.
“Pheebs, you have no right to help me decide. I told you we’re friends, so since we’re friends, I must bear some of your burdens.”
As she said that, she sighed. “You’re right. I’m innocent, but I’m not a fool. Perhaps I can’t avenge you, but I can give you a shoulder to cry on and company.”
Olivia felt a lump in her throat, and her tears started flowing again.
“Hey, why are you crying again? Won’t the eggs go to waste if you cry? Do you want to become the ugliest bride ever?”
Olivia laughed despite her anger. “No! I don’t want to be the ugliest.”
“Stop crying if you don’t want to be it, then. I know you’re grateful for me, but you can’t give me your body. I also don’t want your tears.”
After a while, Jennie got up and said, “Okay, done. Do you have a makeup artist? You’re the wife of a young master, after all.”
“Of course I do. She’s not here yet.”
Olivia lowered her head to look at the time. “I think she’ll be here in half an hour. Let’s go downstairs to eat something.”
“Okay. Mrs. Simmons is a great cook. I want to come here and eat more often.”
“Are you not going back?”
“Sigh. We don’t have a physical shop, anyway, so we don’t need to sit in the office all the time. Plus, there are so many things happening over here, so let’s talk about it when we settle everything. Furthermore, you’re not free, so we’ve also lost the atelier’s biggest selling point, right?”
Olivia was amused. “When did you become such a sweet talker?”
“I learned from you.”
“I’m not…”
“Oh, right. The matters with TR have been settled. The compensation has been given out, and the apology has been posted. Did you see?”
“No.” Olivia shook her head. “I’ve been pretty busy since I came back, so I didn’t look.”
Jennie flicked her forehead. “Gosh. This is your career, so why are you so unbothered? Pitt said someone was pressuring TR, so they were willing to settle.”
“Who?”
“You know who it is.”
Olivia was slightly stunned and was also confused. “Who?”
“Xavier.”
“Xavier?”
She blinked and said with a frown, “Why is Xavier involved in this?”
“I don’t know. Pitt said Xavier found TR’s CEO and said he’ll compensate them with a piece of land. He asked them to apologize and give us the compensation.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Olivia shuddered in disbelief.
She felt unwell thinking about how she had treated Xavier in the past few days.
She seemed to have hurt someone she should not have.
At this moment, she heard honking downstairs. Jennie pulled her up and said, “The car is here. Let’s go.”
Since the groom would depart from the hospital, they would go through a different procedure than usual.
Zac sent the driver over to take Olivia to the wedding venue before she did her makeup and changed. Meanwhile, she would wait for Zac to get there from the hospital.
When they were at the hotel, Olivia was still thinking about Xavier. She was thinking that she should find time to thank him.
Coincidentally, she ran into Kate after she got out of the car.
“Morning, Sis-in-law.”
For some reason, Olivia felt uncomfortable hearing Kate call her that. She frowned unconsciously. When Kate walked past her, she said with a grin, “Sis-in-law, the show’s about to start. Are you ready?”
