Chapter 69

Emma did not ask Ethan to leave. Olivia’s gaze swept past Ethan, and Ethan stopped moving.

After leaving the room, Emma was at a loss for a moment. After she recovered, Emma felt a dull pain in her heart.

It hurt so much. Emma lowered her eyes and covered her chest and mouth.

In the room, Olivia was still lying on the bed.

For convenience, Olivia usually cut her hair short and wore a simple T–shirt and jeans. She was dressed in a gender–neutral style and rarely had the gentleness of a woman. If not for the beauty Olivia was born with, she would probably be treated as a man.

At this moment, Olivia was lying on the bed with her hair scattered on the pillow. Her face was pale, like a fair doll. There was a fragile beauty to her.

Loading…

Ethan only took one look, and his heart ached. He subconsciously asked with concern, “How are you?

Are you alright?”

“It’s alright.” Olivia smiled at Ethan.

When Daniel saw Olivia smiling at others, he felt uncomfortable. Although he knew that she was just being polite, Daniel still felt angry. Did this woman not know her place? She couldn’t even tell right from wrong. Ethan already suspected her just now, but Olivia was still smiling at Ethan!

The angry Daniel’s face turned a little dark. He immediately turned cold. He told himself that if Olivia talked to Ethan later, he would ignore her. Daniel decided if he talked to Olivia, he would wear a dark expression.

Just as Daniel was thinking about it, Olivia suddenly turned to look at Daniel. “Daniel, thank you for what you did just now.”

“Thank you for trusting me, believing in me, and standing up for me.” Olivia thought.

Daniel, who had already made up his mind to ignore Olivia, immediately revealed a big smile. He spoke to Olivia in a gentle voice, “What are you thanking me for? Don’t you think I know what kind of person you are?

13:05 Rest well and don’t think too much.”

Didn’t Daniel make up his mind to be cold to Olivia? Why was he smiling now?

After replying, Daniel could not help but curse himself in his heart. It was not good for two men to stay in a girl’s room. Daniel turned to Ethan and said calmly, “Let’s go out first and let Olivia rest for a while.”

Ethan nodded in agreement.

The two of them went out together. In the corridor, in front of Ethan, Daniel pretended to be worried. “I’ll go take a look at Andrew. It’s easy for him to catch a cold after falling into the water. It’s best to let him sleep and sweat. It’s the same for Olivia. Let’s not disturb her and let her rest. We’ll wake her up at dinner.”

Ethan agreed. He did not expect Daniel to be such a considerate person. From the outside, Ethan thought that Daniel was a cold and indifferent person. To Ethan’s surprise, Daniel was a careful man.

It was probably because Daniel had become a father.

“Alright, Mr. Sullivan, you are right.” Ethan nodded and returned to his room.

Daniel did not move. Instead, he stood in the corridor and watched Ethan leave. After Daniel pushed open the door and entered Andrew’s room, he immediately walked back to Olivia’s room.

Olivia was lying on her side on the bed. Just as she reached out to touch the bruises on her back, she saw Daniel.

Her eyes widened in surprise. “Why are you back?”

“You don’t welcome me?” Daniel raised his eyebrows and asked leisurely.

How could that be? Olivia smiled and explained, “I’m just curious. How did you get in?” The hotel door could not be opened from the outside without a room card.

“Oh.” Daniel raised the corners of his eyes. He seemed to think that Olivia had asked a silly question.

He tidied his sleeves before answering calmly, “As long as the door is not shut tightly.”

Daniel didn’t really shut the door…

Olivia was stunned. She had always been sharp and reacted quickly.

Smart people had their advantages. They could guess the cause and effect 13:05 docomo with just a small trace.

When Olivia heard that the door was not shut tightly, she knew that Daniel had been preparing to come back. Since Daniel wanted to come back, why did he suggest leaving just now? Could it be that Daniel wanted to send Ethan away?

Thinking of this, Olivia’s heart skipped a beat.

However, before she could turn her abnormal mood into joy, Olivia heard Daniel say, say, “I came over because I have something to tell you.”

Seeing that Daniel was acting mysteriously and had something important to say, Olivia’s romantic mood immediately dissipated.

“What is it?” Olivia was curious.

“It’s a big deal!” Daniel retracted his expression and became serious. He even put a finger to his lips and shushed, “Lower your voice.”

Olivia was stunned.

What did Daniel mean? Did he mean that someone was eavesdropping? Olivia was a little nervous because of Daniel. Although Olivia felt it was impossible that someone was eavesdropping, she was still affected by Daniel’s caution. Olivia could not help but whisper, “What’s the big deal?” Daniel moved closer to Olivia and whispered into her ear, “Shh, lower your voice.”

Daniel was so close that his lips were almost touching Olivia’s earlobes. The hot air he exhaled hit Olivia’s ears and neck, making her shiver and have goosebumps.

The man’s hormonal masculine scent enveloped the surroundings. Olivia found it hard to breathe.

Olivia subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Daniel pressed her head with one hand. The man’s hand was big and slender, and there were calluses on his fingers. Daniel pressed his hand against Olivia’s face, making her heart tremble slightly.

“Don’t move,” he said, his warm breath on her face.

Olivia’s body stiffened, and her mind went blank for a moment. It was as if she had heard such a voice before.

There was also someone who held her tightly and muttered softly, “Don’t move.”

13:05 Olivia’s absent–mindedness displeased Daniel. He raised his hand and flicked her face.

The girl’s skin was soft and tender like silk, making one unable to bear to part with it. Once Daniel touched Olivia’s face with his hand, he did not want to move. Daniel wanted to stay close to Olivia forever!

However, the timing was not right. Daniel could only restrain his emotions and remove his finger.

Flicking her cheek was a very intimate action. If they weren’t very close, it wouldn’t have happened.

Hence, Olivia was a little stunned as she stared blankly at Daniel. However, Daniel’s expression was extremely calm. He did not look nervous at all, as expected from a man who had touched a girl’s cheek. Daniel looked so calm as if he had just flicked a glass bead instead of a girl’s cheek.

It made Olivia lower her head and reflect on herself. Maybe Olivia was thinking too much.

Daniel even reminded Olivia in all seriousness, “Focus. There’s serious business.”

Olivia blinked. Her long and curly eyelashes fluttered. Daniel’s heart itched as he watched. Daniel used almost all his strength to restrain his desires.

Daniel cleared his throat and said, “You didn’t fall into the water by accident. Someone pushed you!”

Olivia was not shocked. Instead, she lowered her eyes silently. Her beautiful eyes were calm.

“You know?” Daniel asked.

Olivia nodded.

Olivia’s memory had always been very good. She remembered very clearly that someone had hit her hard from behind before she fell into the water. Before Daniel came in, Olivia was touching the bruises on her back.

At that time, there were only four people on the pleasure boat. Ethan was far away, so it was impossible for him to push Olivia. In that case, the person who pushed her was either Emma or Lola.

Because Olivia sensed their malice, she stopped Ethan from leaving with the two of them.

Olivia couldn’t take this loss for free. She had to make them pay for it.
