Chapter 86: Chapter 87

Vincent noticed Olivia’s surprise. He followed her gaze and caught a glimpse of the most annoying person.

Indeed, that man was none other than Christopher, who always caused much harm.

Of course, he was also the dream man of many women in Norham.

Sure enough, he quickly forgot about his former partner after getting a new one.

After Kiara, he might have another Kayra or Kathra.

Sitting opposite him was a gentle, beautiful woman.

That woman was Ivy.

However, they did not know her.

‘Her looks and temperament are pretty good, but compared to my precious sister, Kimberly, there is a world of difference between them,‘ Vincent thought.

For some reason, Vincent picked up his phone and pressed the shutter button.

He was perhaps a little shocked by this natural reaction.

He might have considered that shallow man to be Kimberly’s partner a moment ago.

Olivia was also slightly taken aback by his unusual behavior. “Why are you taking pictures of him? You aren’t going to send this to Kimberly, are you?”

Vincent massaged his temples, thinking, ‘Huh? I must’ve traveled back to a few years ago. Yes, I must’ve thought of Christopher as Kimberly’s husband when I took the picture.’

Nonetheless, the restaurant was a public place. Although not many people were dining in at the restaurant, customers were sat at several tables.

It was indeed quite embarrassing for him to be staring at someone else.

Besides, Christopher had a solid foundation in Norham. Vincent reminded himself to be careful when in someone else’s territory.

Olivia glanced at them from the corner of her eye. The two did not have much interaction. In fact, the woman seemed to be the one taking the initiative.

She kept looking after Christopher as he ate, serving him this and that.

Olivia did not know who Ivy was nor what kind of person she was.

However, Olivia had labeled Christopher as a scumbag in her heart.

When she saw the woman, Olivia could not help but feel sorry and thought Ivy did not deserve this.

Olivia was also curious about something. Christopher was born with a dark personality, so he would not know anything about being a gentleman or treating someone with affection.

Criticisms toward Christopher filled Olivia’s little mind.

Suddenly, she was surprised by a gentlemanly and sweet gesture.

The man before her had already cut the steak delicately and placed the plate in front of her while she was still in shock.

Vincent was a little displeased when he saw Olivia staring across the table and urged her to eat.

“That’s enough. Stop looking anymore. If you do, people might think you’re plotting against him.

Careful, or that woman might spill wine on you.”

Vincent started to scare her as if she was a little child.

Of course, he knew Olivia would not be interested in that man.

Leaving the past grudges aside, Christopher was, truthfully, not ugly. In fact, one could say he was incredibly handsome.

Vincent had always thought Kimberly was hypnotized by his appearance.

Looking at beautiful women could be pleasing to the eye, but it was the same for handsome men, too.

However, any man would be unhappy to see the woman he liked openly staring at other men in front of him.

Vincent admitted he was jealous. Begrudgingly, he said, “There is a super handsome guy in front of you. If you like staring at handsome men, why go through all that effort to do it?”

Olivia was amused by him/

She pointed to herself and asked seriously, “Do you think women can be my opponents?”

In other words, she meant to say, “Have you forgotten how I threw you over my shoulder after bullying me when we first met at the Royal Club?”

Vincent remembered the embarrassing incident after she asked that question.

n He forced an awkward laugh and placed a delicious–looking dessert in front of Olivia.

“Here, this is your favorite. No matter how strong you are, you will only have energy after you’re full!”

Olivia accepted the dessert and relished it.

While Olivia enjoyed the dessert, Vincent reminisced about the feeling of being thrown over her shoulder.

Feeling goosebumps growing on his skin, he thought, ‘If I marry this little woman in the future, I must spoil her properly. Otherwise, if I accidentally make her unhappy, she might break my bones.’

He never expected such explosive force from such a small body.

Christopher used to be a soldier, so his sharpness and insight were better than average.

In fact, he had already noticed Vincent and Olivia when they looked in his direction and started whispering among each other.

At first, he was a little surprised.

These two people utterly defeated him in the courthouse in Dellmoor.

‘The world is so small. I didn’t expect to meet them again in Norham after many years,’ he thought.

When Christopher saw Olivia, he could not help thinking of Kimberly.

He knew Katherine had only a few friends, and Olivia was the closest with her.

Toward the end of the meal, Christopher deliberately walked to greet them, which was beyond his expectations.

He was supposed to walk to the exit after the meal, but he purposely made a trip toward the two.

He took the initiative to greet them and said, “Long time no see, Mr. Sullivan.”

After a pause, he looked at Olivia. “Long time no see, Kimberly’s best friend.”

Vincent and Olivia were shocked by that title and wondered, ‘What does he want? Why Thu, 25 would he mention Kimberly for no reason?‘

Of course, their shock only lasted a second, so Christopher did not notice it.

He greeted them simply to learn about Katherine’s news by probing.

“That woman kept her skills under such tight wraps. I’ve been looking for her for so long but couldn’t find any traces of her,’ he thought.

He was embarrassed to admit that she played him, and he went to Ledroustein only to snatch the air.

Olivia replied generously, “How have you been, Mr. Levine? What luck!”

When she said that, she deliberately glanced at Ivy with some interest.

Unexpectedly, Christopher said calmly, “We’re just colleagues.”

He did not know why he explained himself. Perhaps he did not want Katherine’s friends to misunderstand.

That was to say, he did not want Katherine to misunderstand.

Yet, Ivy seemed extremely embarrassed. It was rare for him to agree to accompany her to a meal.

She was over the moon and hugged his arm. He merely paused for a moment and said nothing.

Now, he said they were only colleagues in front of Kimberly’s friends.

Disappointment instantly filled her eyes, and she subconsciously let her hands slide off his arm.

Olivia saw everything and smiled wryly.
