Chapter 496
Daniel was no longer downstairs when Olivia went down to return the phone.
“Where’s Daniel?” asked Olivia, who looked around but did not see Daniel.
When Ellis saw Olivia coming down, he quickly stood up and said respectfully, “Daniel is not feeling well. He went back to his room to rest. Miss Saintess, do you have anything to do with Daniel?”
“Oh.” Olivia nodded. Then, she held the phone and hesitated. She wanted to return the phone to Ellis, but she was afraid Ellis might misunderstand her by passing the message between Daniel and her. What if Daniel got. the wrong idea and thought she purposely took his phone?
Olivia decided to return it to Daniel personally after a moment’s contemplation. If there was anything she wanted to say, she had better say it in person.
Thinking of it, she turned around, walked upstairs, and knocked on Daniel’s door.
Daniel was resting on the sofa. He was a little surprised to see Olivia. “Saintess, why are you here? Are you looking for me for something?” Olivia took out Daniel’s phone in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Daniel. Your phone fell on me when I fell just now.”
Daniel raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised but did not say anything and only nodded.
There were only two of them in the room. The atmosphere became awkward when they did not speak. Although Olivia wanted to spend. more time with Daniel, it was not a good time.
Then, she said goodbye. “I’ll leave you to your rest, Daniel.”
Daniel nodded. He looked listless and didn’t say anything.
When Olivia reached the door, Daniel suddenly said, “Miss Saintess, may I ask you a question?”
“Go ahead,” said Olivia, turning around.
Daniel looked lonely and absent–minded. After a while, he said, “Miss Saintess, what do you think why a person has been missing for a long time but delayed in coming back?”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice, “Perhaps she has some unspoken secrets.”
“Some unspoken secrets?” Daniel rubbed his forehead tiredly. His eyes. were filled with sorrow. “Is the person tired of me?”
“No, no.” Olivia was anxious and denied it quickly.
“Then, what’s the reason?” Daniel’s gaze shot over like a sharp sword. Olivia choked. After a long while, she said softly, “Maybe something happened to her. She has low self–esteem and is afraid to face you?.”
Low self–esteem?
Daniel frowned and looked at Olivia inquisitively.
Olivia was afraid that he would notice something amiss, so she casually said, “No matter what the reason is, just wait a little longer. She will come back and look for you soon.”
Then Olivia fled.
Daniel was left alone. He sat on the sofa and stared at Olivia’s flustered. back for a long time.
Daniel was such a clever man. Even if Olivia only stuttered and vaguely said a few words, he quickly noticed the abnormality in Olivia’s words.
Something must have happened to Livy!
Daniel suddenly flew into a rage and smashed the sofa.
He was selfish, always looking out for his heart and ignoring Livy’s feelings. If Livy did not return to look for him, it might not be because she hated or tied him. It was also possible that a heavy accident occurred to her.
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of the explosion at the auction house that day.
A great panic rose in his heart. Could it be that Livy was injured?
Daniel sprang to his feet and dialed a number. He contacted Ellis and gave him several instructions to investigate the Flores family’s Saintess immediately. All the information had to be thorough and not blurry. Olivia came out of Daniel’s room. She did not return to her room. Instead, she walked out of Maple Villa aimlessly. Unknowingly, she had returned to the Saintess’s original residence.
Charlee was happy to see her. “Saintess, why are you back? I was just about to look for you.”
“What happened?”
