Chapter 520
Olivia glanced at him without saying a word and grabbed another drink.
‘Ex-husband?”
She snorted in her heart, “Was that even a divorce?
‘More like being widowed.’
Seeing how she finished one glass after another, Xavier reached out to stop her. “Pheebs, if you don’t want to say it, then I won’t ask any more questions. Stop drinking like this. I don’t mean to investigate your past. I just wanted to know you a little more.”
Olivia swung his hand off. “There’s nothing much to know about.”
That being said, she went to grab another glass.
Xavier snatched the glass away, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards him.
“Pheebs, I know that he hurt you a lot. That’s why you’re acting like this now. But why won’t you give me even the slightest chance?”
The two coincidentally caught each other’s gaze, and his narrow eyes stared at her scorchingly.
She turned away. “Why are you being so stubborn? Why not look for someone else?”
“I don’t want to leave any regrets behind.”
‘Regrets?’
Olivia pushed him away and could not help but chuckle. “Won’t you regret choosing me? Life is full of regrets, no matter what you choose…”
“No.” Xavier looked at her sternly. “Pheebs, no matter what happens in the future, I will never regret choosing you.”
Hearing this, Olivia was taken aback and went into a daze.
She was contradicting herself at that moment.
John’s entanglement and Ken’s determination seemed to be forcing her to make a choice.
She wanted to seek closure for her past, but at the same time, she was unwilling to give up her
current stable life with Lyla.
Which was why, no matter what she chose, there would definitely be regrets.
“If… ” Olivia grabbed Xavier’s collar and asked firmly, “you had two options in life, one to follow
your heart but risk some parts of yourself, and another to go for stability and happiness, which one would you choose?”
Xavier held her shoulders. “Pheebs, you’re drunk.”
