Chapter 369
Zac regretted what he said immediately.
‘That was too impulsive. How could I say that?!
‘If she…”
“Sure.”
He thought he had misheard, but Olivia smiled at him right after. “As long as Mr. Quinton doesn’t feel irritated by my weak body.”
Seeing Zac in a daze, she moved closer to him. “Are you regretting it already?”
“No, no…”
“Zac, I have no idea how much longer I’ll live. If I die, I’ll be more at peace with you taking care of my brother rather than John.”
Olivia took a sip of the beer and smiled. “Plus, you can make lan earn money to support you in return when he’s older. It’s a win-win situation.”
Hearing her words, Zac let out a sigh of relief. However, he was also a little disappointed.
“No problem. I’ll exploit him ruthlessly.”
The two smiled at each other and made another toast with the cans of beer in their hands.
Olivia started to get dizzy and fell on the table after drinking three cans.
Zac, on the other hand, had sobered up. He gently nudged her. “Liv?”
He confirmed that she had fallen asleep after calling her a few times without getting a response.
He was afraid that she might catch a fever again, so he carried her back into the room and covered her with a blanket properly before going back to the balcony.
Looking at the beer cans on the ground, Zac twitched the corner of his lips.
In fact, he was already satisfied. He could only continue being around her if he kept quiet about his feelings.
If he actually came clean to her, she would definitely avoid him, knowing her personality.
Just after he finished cleaning up the rubbish, Olivia’s phone rang.
He was afraid that it might disturb her sleep and wanted to decline the call, but when he saw John’s name, he could not resist picking it up.
“Hello.”
The person on the other side of the line spoke coldly the second he heard the wrong voice.
“Where’s Olivia?”
“She’s sleeping.”
“Pass her the phone.”
