Chapter 825
"How on earth did you help me escape four years ago? Was Jess’s death accidental or planned?"
Zac froze the moment he heard those words. He felt like thorny vines were strangling him, dragging him deeper into the abyss.
Olivia... eventually started to suspect things.
He knew that their relationship might fall apart if he told her the truth now. However, there might not even be any possibility of a relationship between them.
He felt that everything had changed since the last time he lost his temper. Everything, especially himself.
He would never blame Olivia. He would blame himself for it.
If he could not even be patient with her and had outbursts like that, he might be hopeless.
Zac looked at the ground and took a deep breath. He was prepared to face the greater crisis of their relationship. Just as he was about to answer, a voice broke the silence.
"Godmother."
Olivia turned around upon hearing that voice and grabbed Sam's hand.* You’re done so soon?"
"No. It’s been an hour and a half."
Olivia looked at the time. "I'm sorry. I must have forgotten the time. Let's go home, then?"
"Wait a minute. I want to visit Mr. Freeman."
When Sam saw Zac, he referred to John as Mr. Freeman instead of godfather. Olivia patted him on the head. "Okay. Go ahead."
Then, she looked at Zac with her lips pursed. "I'll ask Wilbur to pick you up."
After all, Sam was there, and it was difficult for her to ask further questions. So, she had to leave this matter aside for the time being.
Zac heaved a sigh of relief, lifted his head, and said, "It's okay. I can head downstairs myself."
Olivia did not insist. "Okay. Be careful. Call me if you need anything. Mrs. Simmons has been talking about you and hopes you can have dinner at home. Maybe you should return home whenever you are free to quell her worries."
