Chapter 315
“Why are you here?”
Olivia was stunned for a moment before pushing John away. “Let go of me.”
John freed her, walked towards the bar area, and asked, “Anything I can do to help?”
Then, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started taking out the
vegetables from the bag.
“I’ll clean the prawns. What else needs cleaning?”
The scene that was playing out before Olivia shocked her to the core.
She had seen this side of John before, but it had been two years since then.
Back then, they would cook together.
He would hug her from behind, rest his head on her shoulders, and flirt with her in whispers, making her lose focus as she cooked.
Now, it felt like it had been a lifetime since that. The thought left her dazed.
They had already gone their separate ways, so why was he playing the same role he used to play in the past once more?
Was he trying to move her heart again?
No, she could not be fooled! She could not be tricked once more!
Olivia bit her lips, tried to suppress the emotions that had risen in her heart, and replied coldly, “John Freeman, you don’t have to put on a show for lan like this.”
John ignored her. He put the cleaned prawns aside and started to chop up some vegetables.
“John Freeman.” She could not help but call out to him once more.
“I heard you.”
He turned to look at her with a slight pleading tone in his voice and said, “Can I have some vegetable stew, please?”
Olivia looked at John, her heart aching so much that she could hardly breathe. After a long while, she asked, “Why, John? Why are you acting like this now?”
There had been times she had begged for him to come home for dinner, but he could not have cared less.
She had also begged several times for him to believe in her as she tried to save this broken marriage, but he also refused to do so.
Later, she decided to go through with the divorce for his sake, but he did not agree to that as well.
After that, he started torturing her more and more, gnashing and tearing at her heart bit by bit until she was wounded all over.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Are you okay, Liv? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
With that, Olivia lost control of her tears as they rolled down her cheeks.
However, she washed her face once more so John would not be suspicious. Then, she opened the door and answered faintly, “I’m fine.”
John was still a little concerned. He followed her and asked, “Why is your pneumonia still not better?”
Olivia paused in her tracks, her heart knitted together in tight knots.
He really thought up till now that all she had was pneumonia.
“It’s not that easy for pneumonia to completely go away. Don’t you know that pneumonia can become lung cancer if it gets really severe?”
John, who was behind her, was stunned for a while. Then, he hugged her from behind and said, “Yours will never become lung cancer.”
Olivia snickered mockingly in her heart. This man was always so arrogant, and it was hilarious.
However, she did not plan to correct him, since it was not like she had not told him
the truth.
It was just that he never believed her, right?
