Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Even though it’s still in the same shophouse, it seems that the air circulation between the first and second floors is very different.

So down there, David can get along very well with six different employees.

Upstairs, two fruit-flavored box juices are in front of the mother and Lisa. Meanwhile, Livia sat across from them. The silence that was created just like that, Lisa sat still. Mother did too.

Livia feels completely wrong about herself and what is really going on with the two of them. Those who come uninvited but they are also silent. Livia hasn’t started talking yet. Lisa gets up from her seat.

What does he want? Uh, why are you kneeling like that?’

“I’m sorry, Sister.” Lisa lowered her head. There was a small sob.

“Lisa, what’s wrong with you?” Livia, who didn’t expect something like this to happen, looked panicked. She was about to call David. Suddenly mother also followed up and knelt beside Lisa. Livia got up from her seat. She didn’t like this woman in front of her, but she didn’t deserve to kneel before her. After all, she was the child she had cared for all along, even though she treated her with the concept of no affection though.

“Mom, get up. What’s wrong with you guys?” Livia grabbed her mother’s hand. “I’m sorry. Forgive our mistakes all this time.”

Mother and Lisa spoke at the same time.

“Is it because of Damian? You are kneeling like this because of Mr. Damian, right?” This was all that was on Livia’s mind right now. Because she believed these two women couldn’t possibly go beyond their dignity just to apologize to her.

“No, Sis, this has nothing to do with Mr. Damian. I just really feel really guilty all this time. And want to ask for your forgiveness so that I can live in peace. Just that.”

‘Is it because now that you feel that I have been treated well by Mr. Damian, you are afraid that I will ask him to take revenge on him for you. I am not that evil, okay. Do you really think I married Mr. Damian, not for the sake of my family? I will not do such a terrible thing as revenge on my own family.’

“Get up!”

“Forgive us first, sis, forgive mother and me first.” Repeated whining in a pleading voice. Lisa’s sobs are more audible now.

There was a trickle at the corner of her eye, and she didn’t wipe it on purpose. Let’s be more dramatic, she thought.

“Get up! Well, I forgive you guys, so get up now.” Livia had spoken in a loud voice. Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore, seeing her stepmother kneeling in front of her like that.

Lisa helped her mother get up and led her to sit. Her pride was torn apart, but this was far better than losing her dream of being a celebrity. Lisa bit her lip dumbly.

“Mom,” Livia spoke quietly as her mother sat back down on the sofa. She picked up the juice box on the table, stabbed the straw, and passed it into her stepmother’s hands. The woman accepted it and patted Livia’s hand gently.

“Thank you, Liv.”

“Did you throw away all the photos of my mother?” Well, maybe it’s time she can get her precious treasure again. Valuable things that must be taken. This woman in front of her not only took down all the photos on the wall, but she didn’t allow any memories to be left at home. Just to strengthen Livia to grow and develop through her days.

“A photo of your mother?” The mother’s face returned to showing hatred but soon changed a second later with a smile on her lips.

She was trying to contain her feelings. “I still have it, of course. You can take it at home any time.” “Can you send a driver to take it here?”

A flash of dislike was still able to be caught by Livia. They’re kneeling right now, not really begging for forgiveness. She knew.

They are just afraid that she will ask Damian to take revenge on them, Livia clenched her fists in anger. But, she tried to take a slow breath to get rid of all the hatred inside her.

“Why don’t you just take it by yourself? Don’t you want to go home now?” Mother’s words stabbed hard.

“It’s not like that. First, I have to get permission from Damian to go home.”

“What?!” Mother and Lisa were shocked. “Sister Livia, isn’t that your house too? Why did Mr. Damian forbid you to go home?”

Lisa was really curious about it, but Livia also didn’t know why he forbade her to come home.

She doesn’t want to say that; she was also prohibited from meeting them. She can only meet with David without permission first.

“Livia, is your relationship with Damian really good?” mother smiled and asked. But Livia just thought that she just wanted to make sure of something.

‘All right, let’s act like our relationship is amazingly good. So you don’t bother me anymore.’

“Of course, Mom, our relationship is excellent. Damian treats me very well. Even I thought, maybe I’ll get pregnant soon because of him. Haha.” Livia covered her face with her hands. Looking down in shame. She peeked through the hand gap at Lisa’s and mother’s surprised reaction.

‘You are at a loss for words.’

What was heard next were only words of praise, both to Livia and Damian. Lisa thought that she had fallen into the water of humiliation and just licked it. They have lost their self-respect. In front of Livia now, all they do is be nice and friendly.

David comes up and takes them home, and his mother would not stop talking about Livia’s kindness.

Livia went to take them out of the shop. Just in time, they stood outside the glass door; everyone looked panicked.

Yes, of course, except David. He really plays a cool kid in all situations.

‘What mess is this? Why did he come here?’ Livia frowned. Damian stood leaning against the car while his assistant was two meters away from him, standing motionless. “Baby, what’s this?” Livia ran over.

“I want to pick you up. Apparently, your family is here.”

Mother, Lisa, and David nodded their heads in greeting. Lisa took her mother’s hand, already feeling scared, especially when her gaze met with Assistant Brown. “They just happened to stop by for a while.” Livia tries to think as effectively as possible, looking for reasons. “Now they want to go home too.”

Damian moved her hand for Livia to come closer, and the girl walked over to stand right beside Damian.

Her husband unexpectedly put his arm around her and kissed her cheek.

“Didn’t I tell you to ask my permission when you met your family?” Damian turned to her mother and Lisa.

“Didn’t Brown tell you? I don’t like you meet my wife unannounced.” “Forgive us, Mr. Damian.” “Baby, they just stopped by. And I’ve already conveyed to Assistant Brown earlier....” Damian touched Livia’s lips. Making the girl not continue her sentence.

‘Damn, I just said that only David came.’

“Don’t make excuses. Receive your punishment later for breaking my words.” The slight smile on Damian’s lips means she is over.

A car approached, and two men wearing suits got off carrying a pile of pizza and side dishes.

“They’re here. Come on in!” Damian pulled Livia’s hand, leaving her mother and sister.

“What is this?”

“I’d like to buy an afternoon snack for your employees. Brown, send them off.” Without looking at the others, Damian pulled Livia’s hand and entered the shop. Livia glanced briefly at her family. Then, she smiled at David and waved.

“I’ll call you later.” She spoke without making a sound.

David shook his head.

Assistant Brown ushered them into the car. Nodding head as the car starts to leave the shop parking lot.

‘Young lady, how can you make the young master act this cheerfully, but you haven’t realized the young master’s true feelings either. What’s this troublesome thing called falling in love?’
