Chapter 290
Olivia was really confused after Claude's suggestion. As she looked at
him, she noticed something very charming about his gentle faceâit was
like a spell.
âOnly if you start liking someone else can you stop liking him.
Understand?â Claude explained.
She felt lost in his kind eyes for a moment.
But then, Olivia quickly came back to reality and moved Claude's hands
off her face. Just then, the driver, who was waiting in the car, saw this
sweet moment.
Claude took his hands back quickly when she pushed them away. He
kept looking at her, slightly leaning forward.
She started to think that Claude was like a dangerous monster hiding
behind kindness..
âPlease, Claude, act properly,â she told him.
He chuckled upon hearing that and then stood up straight. âDid I scare
you?â His eyes remained gentle.
Olivia shook her head. âI don't like what you did.â
âWhat did I do?â
Olivia couldn't understand how Claude could be so charming without
even trying. His words had a magical effect on her.
âNothing,â she answered.
Claude didnât come any closer. He went back to acting the way that
made her feel comfortable. âSorry that I've offended you.â
Olivia always treated him like a brother, someone she could talk to
about anything. Shet wasn't angry at him and shook her head. âIt's
okay.â
Then, they sat together on the stone pier. Claude smiled. âWhat I said
was true, Olivia. I wasn't joking. Maybe you should... try it.â
This idea started to grow on her.
After a little while, Olivia felt it inappropriate for them to be sitting there.
She stood up quickly, saying, âI need to take care of something,
Claude. I should go now.â

He didn't try to keep her there because he saw she was uneasy. His
eyes looked sad.â Okay, take care.â
She turned and walked to the car.
Claude stayed on the pler, watching her go with a slight smile.
Olivia was really nervous by the time she got to the car. She felt weird.
The driver also noticed her nervousness. He politely asked, âShall we
head back home, ma'am?â
She nodded. âYes, let's... go
home.â
As they started to leave, he saw Claude still sitting there through the
mirror. Claude sensed the gaze, and he gave the car a cold stare.
They drove back to the Harrises. When Olivia got out of the car, she
saw Tyler leaving the
house with Keith.
