Chapter 687
Startled, Jennie kept backing away, stammering, "You... You never told me that."
"Yes, I never told you."
Olivia looked at her with some disappointment, shook her head, and said with a sneer, "But you must have known that someone we cared so much about must be unusual."
She was disappointed.
Even if she kept the past a secret, those three years were true.
However, their relationship...
She burst into laughter. "I don't like Ken. We're not rivals in love. How did we turn out this way?
"Is it because of Zyla? Or is it because you think you and Ken can't be together because I conspired to break you up?"
Jennie bit her lip and looked at her, dumbfounded for a moment. "Even if Zyla protected you, what does that have to do with Ken? Why can't I like Ken?"
There was nothing wrong with her question, but it was an obsession to Olivia.
"I never said you can't. What I've always told you is that it won't work."
Jennie found it ridiculous. Why not?
"Why will it not work for me? Because I didn't protect you and didn't take a strike for you? So I have no right to go after Ken?"
Olivia could not make sense of her logic. She wanted to say something, but her chest tingled with emotion, and she had no choice but to sit down again.
"Forget it. If you think your love is right, go for it. What happens with you and Ken is none of my business, and I don't want anything to do with it."
With that said, she rested her head on her hands and closed her eyes.
Arguing was tiring. It was exhausting, especially when you argued with your best friend.
She did not want it to go on like this, and she did not want to lose the only friend she had in the past three years, so she chose to compromise.
"Jennie." Olivia swallowed the pain and looked up at her. "I apologize. Let's not argue about this anymore, okay?"
