Chapter 598
“1…”
Zac hung his head low, not knowing how to explain.
He knew full well that he could only stay by her side as a friend.
However, how should he explain it now that his cover was exposed?
“I’m sorry.”
Zac froze and looked up at her in shock. “Why did you apologize? I should be the one apologizing for not telling you.”
Olivia shook her head. “No, you’re wrong.”
“Liv…”
“Fred and Ken both mentioned this to me a while ago, saying you might.
Olivia had trouble saying the word “Like” so she pressed her lips together. “I didn’t believe it and wanted to ask you, but I was afraid we’d never be the same again if I did.”
She smiled bitterly as she spoke. “I was selfish. I didn’t want to ask nor think about it because you. were the only friend I had left who accompanied me through those times.”
She looked at Zac and said, “Zac, you’re special and important to me. I don’t want to lose you.
“But I was selfish, only enjoying the care and benefits you bring. I never thought about you and even got in the way of your marriage. I…”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Not wanting to see her blame herself like that again, he explained, “I remember I told you the reason I don’t want to marry the Jameson family four years ago.”
Olivia froze and recalled carefully. He seemed to have mentioned it, but after what Jimmy just. said…
“I didn’t want to marry because I hated arranged marriages Secondly, I don’t like the Jameson family. Thirdly, I didn’t want my dad to have his way.”
