Chapter 735
"It's been a long time since we ate a meal together."
"Mm."
"You..." Zac pursed his lips. "Are you still angry?"
John looked at him. "It's useless getting angry. The situation is not under your control either."
He smiled self-deprecatingly. "Actually, Liv is right. You are more tolerant and patient than I am."
"Did she say so?"
"Yes." John felt awkward. He lowered his head and took a slow sip of tea. " Are you going to snatch the Quinton Group back?"
Zac nodded. "Yes."
"I can help you. If you need anything, you can tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to help."
Zac was startled. They had not talked for four years.
Everyone thought they had become enemies, even Zac himself.
"By the way, I should be thanking you."
"Thanking me?
Zac looked at him with astonishment. "I rarely hear you thank others."
"I didn't understand before. However, when I think about it now, if it weren’t for you, I would never have had the chance to see Liv again."
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, other than regrets, John felt fear striking him.
More than once, he had almost killed Olivia, the woman he loved.
If she died, he would never forgive himself.
"I did all those because I have feelings for her," Zac paused and asked, "I heard you fainted last time. Are you alright?"
"What did Ken tell you?"
"No, Liv told me."
John smiled. "Nothing. I fainted out of tiredness."
Then, he glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. I have to send Sam back. I’ll call you some other day."
"Okay."
