Chapter 610: 610: Please Sign the Separation Agreement
He Clings to Me Every Night
âGrandpa, itâs windy here, letâs sit over there.â Olivia Jenkins pushed her grandpaâs wheelchair away, leaving Daniel Marshall sitting alone on the long bench.
The old manâs face slightly changed, but Olivia didnât notice as she steered his wheelchair.
âOlivia, have you two had an argument?â he asked.
Her bright almond eyes twinkled intelligently as she replied softly, âGrandpa, how did you judge that we had a disagreement?â
âYouâre behaving the same way I do when Iâm mad at someone and donât want to talk to them,â he replied.
Olivia slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes still twinkling. âGrandpa, did I express that so obviously? Is my discontent really written all over my face?â
The old man looked back at Olivia, tilting his head, âYou werenât holding hands today.â
âI was pushing the wheelchair, I canât hold hands,â Olivia replied, her almond eyes sharp as she subjected her grandpa to an observant and intriguing stare.
Being a doctor, Olivia thought her grandpa was fairly sharp for his condition. He was alert and showed no signs of memory loss, but she noticed some abnormality which, however, she chose to ignore.
âOlivia, would you ever get tired of this old fool?â Grandpa asked. âIf anyone troubles you, you can tell me, and Iâll blow off your steam.â
Olivia flashed a slight smile, feeling a little relieved. âGrandpa, thank you! Iâm really doing well. Iâve just been busy recently because the TV series Iâm overseeing is about to start filming. I might not be able to visit you as often. But rest assured, I would never disown you. Youâre my revered elder.â
The old man said nothing but gently patted Oliviaâs hand. Even if his mind wasnât functioning well, his eyes still worked. He could still see.
Just as Olivia sat down, she saw Daniel coming over.
Suddenly, the old man gripped both Danielâs hand and Oliviaâs hand and pushed them together. âYou two are even worse than primary school children, always throwing tantrums. Iâm tired of dealing with you. Youâve upset me.â
Daniel held Oliviaâs hand tightly, and she could not pull it away.
At that moment, Olivia shot Daniel a cold glance.
Daniel, acting as if nothing happened, tightened his grip on Oliviaâs hand. âGrandpa, itâs my fault. I should apologize to Olivia.â
Grandpaâs lips pouted as he glared at Daniel and gave him a smack. âOlivia, Iâm standing up for you. I smacked him.â
Trying not to upset her grandpa further, Olivia prevented the situation from escalating. âGrandpa, let it be. Be careful of the IV in your hand. Iâm not angry anymore, I feel better.â
âIf he dares to upset you again, you tell me. Iâll smack him again.â
Olivia didnât respond, simply nodding in acknowledgment, while Daniel solemnly promised, âGrandpa, you can rest assured, I wonât upset Olivia again.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, you two go home together. My headâs starting to hurt. I need to rest.â
Just as Olivia was about to push the wheelchair, Aria Douglas walked in. After a slight bow, she pushed the old manâs wheelchair and they left the garden.
Once grandpa was out of sight, Olivia shook off Danielâs hand displeasingly.
Her expression unchanged, but her eyes were filled with contempt and scorn. âThe showâs over, itâs time for everyone to leave. If you want to continue acting, do it with someone else.â
Just as Olivia was walking away, Daniel grabbed her arm, his gaze tender. His low, resonant voice was as captivating as a cello, striking a chord. âHoney, Iâm sorry! I know I was wrong. I know youâve gone through a lot. Please hear me out. Itâs not what you think or what you see.â
But Olivia remained resolute, her almond eyes coldly fixed on Daniel. âPlease sign the separation agreement.â
