Chapter 253: After the Storm
(Third person’s POV)
Richard Winters had finally agreed to their relationship. At long last, Olivia Winters and Connor Rivers could be together openly without any family opposition.
One Friday afternoon, Connor came to pick up Olivia for dinner at Moonlaw Legal Services. The autumn sun cast golden light through the office windows as Olivia gathered her files.
“Ready to go?” Connor asked, his voice warm with affection.
Olivia smiled and nodded. “Just let me grab my coat.”
Emma Thompson looked up from her desk with a bright expression. “If you’re looking for a good restaurant, there’s this amazing Thai place near the law firm.”
Her eyes lit up with enthusiasm. “The food there is absolutely incredible. The pad thai is to die for, and their green curry is perfectly spiced.”
Connor raised an eyebrow with interest. “Thai food sounds perfect. What do you think, Liv?”
Olivia’s stomach rumbled softly. “I’m definitely in the mood for something flavorful. Let’s try
it.”
Emma beamed with satisfaction. “You won’t regret it. It’s called Golden Lotus Thai Kitchen, just two blocks down from here.”
They headed to the restaurant, walking hand in hand through the bustling Harbor City streets. The evening air carried the scent of autumn leaves and distant cooking aromas.
The restaurant was packed with customers, the Friday night crowd creating a lively atmosphere. Warm yellow lights illuminated red tablecloths and traditional Thai decorations adorning the walls.
As they entered, a young waitress with a friendly smile greeted them. “Welcome! Table for
two?”
Olivia confirmed with a nod. “Yes, please.”
The waitress gestured them forward, scanning the busy dining room. “I’m sorry, we don’t have any private rooms available tonight, but I have a lovely table by the window.”
She led them to a corner table with large windows overlooking the street. The sounds of

conversation and clinking dishes filled the air around them.

As they were seated, Olivia glanced at Connor with a slightly apologetic expression. “It’s a bit noisy in here. Do you mind the atmosphere?”
Connor smiled warmly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Not at all, Liv. I wouldn’t mind if you took me to a roadside food stall.”
Olivia chuckled, her mood lightening. “You said it. Next time we’re definitely hitting a roadside
stall then.”
He leaned back in his chair with amusement. “Alright. I’ll hold you to that promise.”
Olivia started browsing the menu on her phone, scrolling through colorful photos of Thai dishes. The spicy aromas from nearby tables made her mouth water.
As she was deciding between different curry options, a familiar voice interrupted their peaceful moment. “Alpha Connor, is that really you!”
Olivia looked up and saw a woman in a crisp white shirt and black pencil skirt approaching their table. The woman’s smile seemed overly bright as she greeted Connor with obvious enthusiasm.
“Alpha Connor, what a coincidence! My colleagues and I are dining here as well.” The
woman’s voice carried a tone of forced casualness.
Connor merely nodded in acknowledgment, offering no further response. His expression remained politely neutral but distant.
Connor turned to Olivia with a formal tone. “Liv, this is Victoria Hartwell, the director of our
company’s strategic planning department.”
Olivia nodded politely. “Hello, Ms. Hartwell.”
Then Connor introduced her to Victoria with unmistakable pride in his voice. “This is my mate, Olivia Winters.”
Victoria’s bright smile faltered noticeably. Her tone became subdued and slightly strained. “Oh, I see.”
Victoria scrutinized Olivia with calculating eyes, a flash of disdain flickering across her features. She thought that Olivia was just another pretty face, relying on her looks to bewitch Alpha Connor.
A typical trophy mate that powerful wolves liked to show off, Victoria mused internally. However, an Alpha like Connor Rivers deserved so much better than a mere ornament.
