Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 581

I found it hard to believe and rubbed my eyes. It was really Oliver! How could he be here?

Instinctively, I looked back at Lauren.

Ivanna appeared to be more surprised than we were. "Why are you here?"

Oliver ignored Ivanna and focused his attention on Lauren. His eyes looked dark and uncertain, and his lips trembled. He seemed excited.

Lauren's hand on my arm tightened, causing me slight pain. My eyes were fixed on Oliver, who had changed a lot. He looked remarkably thin.

"Lauren, you finally came back." His voice shook. I could see his hand hanging at his side, tightly clenched in anxiety.

She looked at him, and her lips twitched. However, she quickly regained her composure.

Lauren smiled lightly. "It's you! Have you been good?"

"No! No one told me where you went!" Oliver sounded like a petulant child who couldn't find a home.

Lauren gave a somewhat forced smile. "You can't blame them. I didn't even know where I was going. So, I didn't inform them either. I just told them to pick me up before I returned."

Tears welled up in Oliver's eyes as he gazed at her face. Lauren remained calm, with an unmistakable sense of alienation in her smile.

Oliver stepped forward and reached out to her. "Lauren, come with me. Let's go home."

However, Lauren stepped back slightly and avoided his hand. She was still smiling calmly, but I could see her determination.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go home. Goodbye." She then pulled me away. "Let's go."

Her face was pale, and her hand was cold. I understood right away that she hadn't truly moved on. Her calmness was a facade.
