“Thank you.”
Olivia moved her wrist. “It’s beautiful.”
“Good to know you like it.”
Looking at the cinnabar on her wrist, she suddenly asked, “Why did you think to give me a cinnabar
amulet?”
Xavier lifted his head and looked at her. “I’ve been worried about Jenson and the earthquake incident
you encountered in Solaria City. Although it may sound a little superstitious, what if something
happened to you?
“Those were coincidences, but it’s good to have an amulet to protect me.”
“Oh, right.” Xavier suddenly frowned. “Do you remember that man you met at the exhibition?”
She was a little confused. “That man? Who?”
“It’s…” Xavier patted his head, thought for a moment, and said, “The man you met when you were at
the exhibition suddenly appeared and chased after you. I met him again the night you were drunk.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia finally realized he was talking about John.
Panic struck her, and she instinctively balled her fists, tangling her clothes.
“Oh?”
“You know what? He tried to stop me and asked me to hand you over to him, but I don’t know him, and
I’m not sure you do. So, I did not.”
Then, Xavier sighed. “Fortunately, I called Fred. Otherwise, that man is too difficult to get rid of.”
“You did the right thing.”
“Pheebs, do you know him? He is not your ex-husband, is he?”
Hearing the word ‘ex-husband’ made Olivia feel so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
She pursed her lips and looked at the water. “No, I don’t know him.”
Fortunately, he did not notice anything unusual about her. Still, he warned her with concern.” That’s
alright, but you must be careful because I think he’s stalking you.”
“Maybe it’s just a coincidence.”
“I’m afraid it’s not. Should I call the police?”
“Don’t.”
Olivia stopped him immediately.
Xavier was startled. He touched Olivia’s forehead. “Pheebs, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look
so pale?”
“No…” Olivia shook her head. “Maybe it’s the cold night air.”
“Yeah, it’s a little cold when the sun goes down. Let’s go in.”
As he spoke, he took Olivia back to the private room and closed the balcony door behind them.
Soon, the waiter served the dishes.
Xavier filled her bowl with some mushroom soup. “Pheebs, have some mushroom soup. It will warm
your body up.”
Olivia, who was still in a daze, nodded her head stiffly. “Okay.”
That feeling that her hidden secret was being dug out little by little was not good. It made her feel
insecure.
What she feared most was John pestering her.
She had bid farewell to her old life, yet he was still bugging her!
During this time, he did not call or come to see her. It made her doubt if he had been stalking her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas there some conspiracy going on?
Although he had said those things in Solaria City, Olivia did not believe all of it.
“Pheebs?”
After Xavier called her several times, Olivia snapped out of her thought and moved the bowl toward
her.
“Pheebs, why are you so distraught? Are you worried this guy will hurt you? I can get someone to
protect you.”
“It’s alright.”
Olivia forced a smile. “I’m fine. I didn’t expect so much to happen to me while I was drunk.”
“Okay. Have some of the dishes.”
Xavier pointed at the dishes on the table. “Look. Beef carpaccio, aglio olio, grilled meat, braised
prawns, mushroom soup, garlic bread, and vegetable stew. I guessed they were your favorites.”
Olivia noticed that the dishes on the table were her favorites.
Xavier smiled upon seeing her startled expression. “I asked before I ordered.”
Olivia enjoyed the food because she did not want to disappoint Xavier.
He squinted his narrow eyes and seemed to see through everything.
