Chapter 1058
Olivia smiled. “We didn’t get back together.”
Jack put on an expression that said, “Do I look like a fool to you?”
Olivia shrugged. “Alright, fine. We’re not remarrying, but we slept with
each other.”
“You’re quite honest about that.”
“I’m a normal woman too. Isn’t it normal for me to have certain needs?
Olivia was a little simple and naive around Jack.
Their relationship was more akin to siblings than lovers.
Jack had helped her a lot through the years, and Olivia had already thought of him as a family member she could depend on.
He said that his family was dead, and she didn’t have family members
either.
“It’s surprising that he’s willing to let you go.”
“He has no choice even if he’s not willing to do it. The situation now
isn’t something he can control.”
Olivia sat down next to Jack. Then, she elbowed Jack in the chest. ” What about you? You’re old enough. Don’t you have any needs in that aspect? How do you deal with them?”
Jack gave her a sideways glance. Olivia raised her hands in surrender.
“Alright, chill. I was just asking. I don’t want you to break down from
holding it in too much.” Olivia stuck out her tongue.
She looked at the string of prayer beads Jack had been wearing for years around his wrist. Jack was quite a devout man in some ways. He didn’t seem to have any desires or pursuits.
But when he murdered people, his decisive strength made him look like another person. Jack had taught Olivia a lot of ways to inflict quick death on people.
He could either be a devil or an angel.
“What exactly do you want, Jack?”
Jack reached up and patted her head. She could smell the wooden scent of the prayer beads.
“Like you, I have someone I want to kill.”
“Who is it?”
“You’ll figure out when the time comes.”
Olivia could see her lost self in his eyes.
Olivia had suspected Jack at first too. How could someone like him
exist?
He offered everything to be nice to her, but he didn’t ask for anything in return. He didn’t seem to want anything at all.
But after so many years, he would have revealed his ulterior motives a long time ago if he had them. So, Olivia lowered her guard and treated him like a real family.
Holding his arm, Olivia said, “No matter what you want to do, the
children and I are right behind you. You’re not alone anymore. You
have a family now.”
Jack gazed at her with a meaningful look. There was an
unfathomable expression in his eyes.
After a long while, he answered, “Alright.”
The phone on the table vibrated. A message popped up on the lit
screen.
It was the address of a book café in Aldenvine.
Olivia replied to the message.
“Look, someone took the bait.”
“Do you need my help to mask your identity?” Jack asked.
Putting down her phone, Olivia smiled brilliantly. “It’s okay. It’ll end
right where it started.”
“Be careful. He’s no common person.”
“I have you, don’t I, Jack? Thank you so much for what you’ve don
the past few years.”
Olivia snuggled into his arms. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made it through. It’s okay even if I don’t find my family in the future; I’m happy enough to have you.”
Jack had a complicated look on his face. In the end, he lowered his hand and patted her on the back.
He didn’t have any feelings for her. He only provided her with the encouragement an older brother would give to his sister.
“Just do anything you want to do. I’m with you.”
“Then can you tell me who exactly your enemy is? You’ve helped met so much; I want to help you too.
Jack’s phone rang, and Jack pushed Olivia away. “I’m going on a
mission soon. Be careful. Contact me if there’s any danger.
“You should be careful too.” Olivia saw him off at the door.
“Okay.”
After closing the door, Olivia walked to the balcony.
She left the window open on purpose. Amidst the fluttering snow, she reached out and caught a snowflake.
A bracelet on her wrist dangled in the air, letting out a faint glow in
the darkness.
She thought, “Mona, we’ll let the snow purify all sins.”
WAct Fast: Free Bonus Time is Running Out!
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
