Chapter 714
'That's great! I..."
Before Olivia could finish, she turned to look at Zac, who was beside him, and the words that came out of her mouth took a sharp turn. "Next time. I’m not free today. Please apologize to Sam for me."
John was a little dejected. "You don't even have time for a meal?"
"John, if I wanted to meet Sam, I don't want to just have a rushed meal with him. Do you understand what I mean?”
"Yes. I know what to do now."
Olivia pursed her lips. "Okay, please tell me beforehand after you've set up another date."
"Sure."
After hanging up the phone, Zac asked, "Why did you say no? You clearly wanted to go."
"I've gotten Jimmy to come over to put on a show with us, so how can I just leave you there alone?"
Olivia kept her phone and added, "Also, if I'm not there, Jimmy is for sure going to do something. He's so evil! I’m worried that he'll hurt you."
Zac’s heart trembled. He looked at her with mixed feelings and said to her in a half-joking way. "Liv, if you keep this up, I’m really afraid that I won't be able to control myself."
"Hmm?"
"I’m saying that I would think that you..."
Zac chuckled lightly.
"No worries, I was just joking."
Olivia blinked and her sparkling eyes were looking everywhere as she smiled. "Zac, just tell me when you get sick of me, then we'll get a divorce, and you can remarry. However, if you're not sick of me yet, I would probably not ask for a divorce on my own initiative."
Zac was stunned when he heard that. He stared intently at Olivia as if he was trying to figure out if she was being serious or if she was joking.
"I'm serious. At least, before you recover, before you've gotten your revenge, I’ll always be by your side."
'You..."
"However, I don't want to lie to you. After going through all that, it seems like I’ve lost the ability to love, but to me, you're an important presence, as important as Lyla and Ian."
Zac smiled and held Olivia's hand. "It’s pretty good to have you by my side. I don't ask for anything more, and this is my truth."
Then, he asked abruptly. "About Lyla... How did you explain that to John Freeman?"
"How else could I have explained? I told him she's not related to him."
"And he bought it?”
