Chapter 530 Although Olivia enjoyed the meal, she could not eat much, and there were plenty of leftovers.
To avoid waste, she had to pack some back for Fred to eat.
Xavier laughed. âPheebs, you are a diamond designer. Do you have to be so down to earth?â
Olivia smiled sheepishly. âI donât want to disappoint you. I have a small appetite, and I couldnât eat much.â
âEven though I donât like Fred, I donât feel good about making him eat leftovers,â With that, Xavier stood up and said, âYou know what? Iâll take it home and finish it.â
âHuh?â
âI mean it.â
With that, Xavier went to look for a waiter to help him pack the food, and he took it when he left for his car.
âPheebs, this is the leftover dinner I had with you. I wonât waste it.â
She was embarrassed upon hearing that, but she did not say anything.
On the way back, he was in a good mood. âPheebs, Iâm delighted tonight.â
Olivia glanced at him. âXavier, stop saying that, or I wonât eat out with you anymore.â
âOkay, okay, Iâll stop.â
Xavier quickly smiled and surrendered.
âYouâre driving. Be careful.â
âSorry. I was in such a good mood that I forgot myself.â
It was already dark when they were at the bottom of the mountain. There were many turns down the hill, so Xavier drove slowly.
Olivia opened the window and let the night breeze blow on her face, making her feel better.
Suddenly, the car made an abnormal sound, and Xavier pulled over by the roadside.
âPheebs, wait in the car. Iâll go down and take a look.â
âOkay. Be careful.â
Xavier nodded and got out of the car.
After a while, he lifted his head and said, âPheebs, the car has a flat tire. Iâll change it now. Wait for a while.â
âHuh?â
Olivia got out of the car. âCan you do it? Shall we call for help?â
She used to call for help whenever there was anything wrong with her car. After all, she could not always identify the problem.
Xavier smiled. âOf course. I might look thin, but Iâm muscular.â
Olivia could not help smiling. âHurry up, then. Parking on a mountain path like this is dangerous.â
âNo problem. There are almost no cars in this area.â
Just as he spoke, a car dashed out of the road and pulled over beside them. It startled Olivia.
Before they could react, four people came out of the car and pinned Xavier to the ground.
âRun, Pheebs!â
Olivia wanted to call the police. However, someone knocked her unconscious with a stick before she could take out her phone.
âPheebs? Pheebs? Wake up!â
Who was calling her name?
Olivia frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty feeling pain in her head. It was dark, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
âPheebs, donât be afraid. Iâm here.â
Just then, she felt someone grabbing her hand and giving her a soothing touch.
Olivia realized that her hands were tied behind her back, and Xavier had just spoken.
However, that was not enough to ease her anxiousness in the dark.
Sensing that she was trembling, Xavier moved closer and leaned against her as he said softly,â Pheebs, they are outside. I think they want money. Donât worry. Nothing will happen to us.â
Olivia bit her lip and leaned gently against him, trembling as she said, âI-Iâm afraid of the dark.â
âDonât be afraid. Take my hand.â
However, a scene from the past began to flash across Oliviaâs mind.
Her memories flashed from being kidnapped when she was young, to being left in the little black hut by John, to getting trapped in an elevator a while ago.
Her body trembled more and more violently.
She wanted to escape...
