Chapter 57
Olivia’s last scrap of rationale warned her that this was only for a moment, and she should not dream about being able to live in this moment for so long.
However, she then heard John mutter, “Liv, the other day in West Village, I saw you in the fire. You scared me. I rushed in without thinking. I thought about how it would be nice if we both died in the fire together.”
Olivia’s body trembled more.
It made her wonder if those words were really from John.
In West Village… Was it John who saved her, not Zac?
When Zac told Olivia this, she could not believe her ears. Unwilling to accept it, she did not dare to believe it was really John.
John had loved her very much before this and would have done anything for her. However, he… now belonged to Dorothy. He would never save her….
Therefore, when she heard John mention the fire, Olivia felt her heart hammering as though she was going to have a heart attack.
However, she did not turn around. She remained in the same position and asked, “Johnny, do you trust
me?”
After waiting a long time, Olivia did not receive any response from the man behind her. All she felt was him tightening his hug around her subconsciously.
Just as she was thinking that John was probably asleep, she heard him sigh and speak in his deep voice.” Let’s sleep, Liv.”
Olivia smiled wryly.
He could claim that he loved her when he was so drunk, but he still refused to believe her.
She felt as though she had woken up from a sweet dream at that moment.
John had not changed. He still belonged to Dorothy.
However, Olivia knew she still loved this man. That was why she had felt her heart thumping and nervousness striking her. That was why she felt disappointed every time he gave her false hope.
John’s embrace was warm, and she had not felt it for two years.
At least for tonight, she thought, he was sleeping with her.
That was enough.
