The scene was familiar in Olive Steeleâs eyes. If Ophelia Meyer was to rob her man, would she at least make an effort?
Did she think that her lame trick will make Olive Steele insecure?
There was an old saying; never suspect a man you use, never use a man you suspect. She used to doubt if she could end up with him, but now she was certain that he would never cheat on her. Ophelia Meyerâs little trick was nothing to her.
There was a big tree ahead. She walked over, crossed her arms, and leaned on the tree. She enjoyed the performance with a smile.
Ophelia Meyer was obviously angry with her calm and even playful expression. She had started the trick, but didnât know how to continue.
Although Alan Hoyle didnât push her away, he was obviously disgusted. His arms were hanging down.
He didnât even bother to touch her body. Instead, he said two words only, âLet go.â
âAlan, Iâm not feeling well. Carry me inside, will you? I promise I wonât do anything funny.â she begged in a low voice while showing pain and pity. She was upset that she couldnât made her way into his heart for his heart belonged to the one and only woman, Olive Steele.
She was in a poor health since she was a child. In the past, she would always use this trick, but at this time, he just made a phone call, âSend a doctor to Yinghua Road to check on Miss Meyer.â
Olive Steele cracked a laughter, âBabe, she doesnât need a doctor. She needs your heart.â
Alan Hoyleâs cold eyes softened, âDo you want me to give it to her?â
Olive Steele touched her chin like she was thinking, âIf you give it to her, Iâll be gone. Iâm not very generous. What do you say? Iâll give you a freedom to make your own decision.â
âEven if I abandon the world, I cannot abandon you.â Alan Hoyle laughed.
They completely ignored Ophelia Meyerâs existence. She trembled with anger pointing to Olive Steele while gritting her teeth, âOlive, donât be so cocky.â
Olive Steele took Alan Hoyleâs hand with a smile, âIâve never been. Thank you for letting go of my husband. I see youâre in a good health now. You donât look like someone with chest pain at all.â
âYouââ she never knew that this bitch had sharpened her tongue. She was so different.
Olive Steele smiled, âWell, thank you for your performance, Miss Meyer. I enjoyed it, but Iâm hungry now. Iâm afraid I cannot stay to chat with you here. But, since you are in Luo City, Iâm sure weâll meet again. Goodbye.â
Silence.
The doctor arrived and came to check on Ophelia Meyer, âMiss, is something wrong?â
âI donât know. You tell me!â Ophelia Meyer growled.
She watched them leaving intimately. They were holding hands, tightly.
In her memory, he never held her hand like this. In public, she would always take the initiative to hold his hands. He never grabbed her hand first. It turned out that she was never in his heart even though she knew him more than ten years earlier than Olive Steele.
In the restaurant, Alan Hoyle carefully watched Olive Steeleâs face. She was fine just now, but now, she rested her face on her hand and looked out of the window ignoring him.
He reached out and asked, âBabe, are you okay?â
âWhy wouldnât I be?â
âYou know, Opheliaâ¦â he really didnât want to mention that womanâs name in front of her.
âOh, she hugged you, didnât she? Should I be jealous?â she cocked her head and looked at him in the eye, âShe touched your clothes. I hate it. Take it off now.â
âBabe, you donât want me to perform nudity here, do you? Iâll buy a new one later.â
Olive Steele was still able to crack some jokes. It meant that she was okay.
âFine. If I am unhappy because of her little trick, whatâs so fun left in my life?â she reached out and patted his handsome face, âDonât worry. I trust you. Do you think I canât see through her little tricks? Do you think Iâm stupid? Weâre a couple. Why should I jump into her pit? Weâve come a long way, why wonât I believe you?â
âYou ignore me as soon as weâre here.â Alan Hoyle was a little anxious.
Olive Steele innocently pointed to the Apple store across the road, âThatâs because Iâm watching them.â
Alan Hoyle looked to where she pointed. He saw his younger brother and Chloe Malan standing at the door of the store. They seemed to be talking.
âMy phone works just fine. There is no need to buy a new one.â Chloe Malan said.
They were in love. They wouldnât gone missing for no reason. He called to find her while hoping that she wouldnât turn off her phone or refuse to pick up. He took her to the store to buy a couple card and buy the latest iPhone. It was natural for a couple to have a matching phone but she felt that it was not necessary.
Itâs not that the phone was expensive. She just didnât want to waste her money. She used hundreds of things more expensive than an iPhone, but she just felt that it was unnecessary to get matching stuffs.
Back then, Bruce Lynn sent her a bouquet of flowers to her dormitory. The flowers were imported from abroad and it made others jealous. At that time, she thought that she was the happiest person in the world, but in the end, not only that the flowers were gone, the love was too and there left nothing.
Couple cards, couple phone were exciting for the young, but now, it wasnât any more for her.
Aoba Hoyle dragged her hand, âI know. Itâs not like weâre going to throw it away. You can keep the old one. I just think that itâs very romantic to use couple stuffs.â
âThe most romantic thing in life is to grow old together, no cheating, no lying. These fancy things, what about them?â
Aoba Hoyle sighed and pulled her into his arms, âChloe, I know what youâre worried about. But, the past is in the past and present is the present. Your ex-husband belongs to the past. I am me. You cannot stay in the past forever. Sometimes, I envy Bruce Lynn because you gave him your feeling, but I thank him now. If he cherished you, I wouldnât have met you. So, Chloe, let me love you, let me make up for all the things you lost. I hope someday you can tell your ex-husband that you can find a better man than him.â
He didnât understand why Bruce Lynn wronged her so badly. He didnât mind to throw fist if anyone happened to wrong her again.
His words melted her in a way she never expected. This young man used to piss her off so much, but now he was trying his best to make her happy.
âYou smile. You agree, donât you?â he asked.
âAlright.â she reluctantly replied. it was hard to spoil his enthusiasm, âHowever, I have one condition.â
