In the following month, Olivia went out on several blind dates.
Some of them were set up by her mother, while the rest were Renaâs acquaintances.
All of the men were eligible, but she didnât feel anything for any of them.
She had been convinced that her relationship with Dylan was over.
Obviously, Dylan felt differently.
Only God knew how he was able to figure out Oliviaâs schedule.
He never failed to show up to each of her blind dates.
However, he didnât really do anything⦠On the contrary, he just stood outside and waited for her.
It was late autumn, and the rain fell in broken drizzles.
At almost half past nine, Olivia came out of the restaurant.
She hadnât brought her car, so her date offered to drive her home.
This time, her date was someone she had known since childhood, so even if nothing would come out of the date, Olivia was comfortable enough to accept his offer.
Besides, their families had long been business partners.
Inside the car, there was an easygoing atmosphere.
The silence that pervaded the space was easy and relaxed.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the villa.
The gentleman got off the car first, and then went to the other side to open the door for Olivia.
He bid her farewell with a smile.
She got out of the car and politely returned his smile.
As soon as she got out of the car, Olivia was stunned at what came into view.
Dylanâs car was parked nearby.
When she turned around, she saw Dylan standing on the porch of the villa.
He was holding an umbrella in his hand as he walked towards them.
Her date was evidently dumbfounded, turning to her with confusion.
Olivia did her best to maintain her composure, forcing herself to smile.
âWell, thatâs my ex-husband,â she said.
The man nodded wordlessly.
He passed the umbrella to Olivia, got back in the car and then left.
The black vehicle soon disappeared.
Meanwhile, the light rain persisted.
Under the shower, the water splashed across the hem of Oliviaâs dress.
She had dressed up for the date.
The air had gotten a bit chilly, but she remained still as Dylan came to her.
When he was about one meter away, she blurted out, âCan you just leave me alone? Itâs time to let go, Dylan.
Youâve already chosen Gina, and not once have you contacted me for an entire month while you were with her.
Just let me go.
We donât have to be together.
Maybe weâre really better off without each other! Iâll find someone else, and you⦠You can have a wonderful life with Gina and you donât have to worry about anyone else.
