Chapter 509
“Pheebs, don’t be so cold.”
Jennie also said, “Pheebs, forget it. Mr. Hemsworth is also concerned about you. He called me because he knew they caught Jenson, and I accidentally told him…
“What’s more, he’s our big customer, so cut him some slack, okay?”
Even Lyla chimed in. “Mommy, let Mr. Hemsworth stay. His magic tricks are really interesting. I want you to see them too.”
Olivia was completely speechless. She looked at Fred and asked, “Are you going to speak for him too?”
Fred glanced at her and sneered, “Why would I? I’d love to send him back.”
Upon hearing this, Xavier was not happy. “Fred, it’s fine if you don’t help out, but why are your undermining me?”
“So what if I am? What can you do about it?” Fred looked at him through the rearview mirror and said provocatively, “If you don’t like it, I’ll stop the car, and you can get back on your own.”
This left Xavier speechless, so he looked at Olivia again. “Pheebs, don’t be angry. Don’t drive me
away
for the sake of the king crab, okay?”
Olivia shook her head helplessly. “Okay.”
“I knew Pheebs wouldn’t kick me out.”
Then, Olivia leaned back against the chair to rest her eyes.
Honestly, she did not hate Xavier, but she did not want to get too close to him either.
Her past life was ruined by a man and a woman, so she did not want to meet new people at all, nor did she want to participate in such complicated social interactions.
She just wanted to watch Lyla grow up. She wanted to watch her study and get married…
If she could, she wanted to be able to watch lan do those things as well, even if it was only from a distance.
When they got home, Fred went straight into the kitchen and started cooking, leaving the three of them in the living room.
Just as Xavier was about to speak, Olivia walked past him and took Lyla from Jennie’s arms.
