FreeNovelChapter 578
Olivia looked away in disgust.
However, John turned her head back after just a second.
“Aren’t you going to call me that?”
Olivia looked at him coldly and remained silent, showing no sign of wanting to speak.
Their situation was a deadlock with neither party willing to compromise.
Suddenly, Olivia’s eyes lit up in joy, and she muttered as she pointed at the sky, “A shooting star?”
John let go of her and lifted his head to look at the sky. Sure enough, he saw a shooting star flying by.
“Make a wish.”
Olivia folded her hands and stared intently at the night sky. As soon as she saw the shooting star, she
closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
It was the first shooting star she had seen in her life.
Seven years ago, she had a chance to see a shooting star. However, because it was too late and she
had a fever, she fell asleep and missed it.
When she woke up, she saw the sky was already bright. She was so angry that John did not wake her
up that she punched him twice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the time, John hugged her in pain and swore he would take her to see a shooting star another time.
Who would have thought everything would change in just seven years?
Seven years had washed away their younger selves, and they could not embrace each other and make
a wish on a shooting star anymore.
Thinking of this, Olivia felt heartbroken.
She claimed she did not love him anymore, but recalling the past would still bring back pain and
sorrow.
She did not like it and wanted to get back into the car.
However, as soon as she turned around, she heard John say, “What did you wish for?”
She stopped. “It has nothing to do with you.”
Unexpectedly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. “Did you wish for me to die early?”
“No.”
Hearing her indifferent answer disappointed him. “I brought you here to look at the shooting star. Aren’t
you going to enjoy it?”
Did he take her here just because of the shooting star?
He went through all this trouble just to get her to watch the shooting star?
It made her wonder if she had misunderstood him.
“Why?”
John stepped to the edge of the cliff and looked at the stars. “Because of a promise.”
Olivia shuddered as she thought, ‘So, he does remember?’
On second thought, she shook her head with a sneer.
Who cared if he did remember?
He replaced Olivia with Phoebe, a stand-in, presumably for his psychological comfort.
With that thought in mind, she was not touched anymore.
“Now that we have seen it, can you drive me home?”
“That was just the beginning. Didn’t you like it?”
Olivia looked at the sky and pursed her lips. “Does it make a difference to you whether I like it or not?
Your so-called promise has nothing to do with me. You just brought me here to stand in for your wife so
you can feel better.
“John, have you ever thought about how if your wife knew about this, she would seek revenge on you?”
“Revenge?”
John sneered. “I wouldn’t mind her seeking revenge as long as she was willing to appear before me
again.”
‘Here we go again. This man is going on and on again,’ thought Olivia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was how she fell for him. His words nearly tricked her and made her believe in him.
Instead, he set a trap to kill her….
Olivia did not want to talk to him or enjoy the shooting star. She opened the car door and sat in the
passenger’s seat.
Sadness surged through John when he saw this.
“Walter, drive.”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman.”
After they got into the car, neither of them spoke.
On the way, the car suddenly broke down.
“Mr. Freeman, something went wrong with the car. We have to call a tow truck.”
John placed his head on his hands, closed his eyes, and said, “Call Wes and ask him to pick me up.”
However, as soon as he spoke, he heard the driver say somewhat embarrassedly, “Mr. Freeman, there
is still no signal here.”
Olivia opened the door and walked out.
John quickly followed her. “What are you doing?”
“Walking back.”
It was halfway to the bottom of the mountain, which was on the outskirts of the city. It would take her a
whole night to walk back.
‘Is she crazy?’ John thought.
