Super Wife's Three Babies novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Are We Friends Now?

Olivia took off her coat and laid it on the chair. “He’s at school.”

Brian replied, “Oh. Was he alright that day?”

Olivia took a deep breath. “Not too bad. I thought he was fine until I found out about his bruised knee after getting home. Some parts were even bleeding. I have no idea what caused the injuries.”

Looking slightly heavy-hearted, Brian asked, “Is that woman your younger sister from a different mother?”

“Yes,” Olivia responded rather reluctantly. No longer wanting to talk about that, Olivia intentionally changed the topic. “How’s your health?”

Brian sounded rather perfunctory as well when he said, “It’s alright.”

After that, Olivia turned around, took out a metal box from her handbag, and gave it to Brian. “This is for you.”

This somewhat baffled Brian. “What’s this?”

“These are candies. You should bring some of them with you next time and take one every time you feel unwell. It has different kinds of flavors and this is one of my favorite brands. It reminds me of my childhood.”

Brian was pleasantly surprised and then naturally let out a smile. “Thanks.”

Olivia responded, “Don’t be a stranger. This is nothing compared to this expensive meal that you’re buying me.”

Brian smiled, looking like a graceful gentleman. “I guess my life is still worth something, isn’t it? How can one meal be sufficient to pay you back for saving my life?”

“It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t matter how expensive a meal is or how many times you buy me one; it’s about how you were willing to help me out when I needed it the most. I’ll forever remember your help. I guess that makes us even.”

Brian chuckled and commented, “It sounds like you’re breaking up with me.”

Olivia guffawed. “That’s not what I meant. What I’m saying is we don’t have to be so formal with each other.”

Looking at her, Brian appeared to look somewhat shy. “If you don’t let me use this excuse again, how am I going to ask you out for a meal next time?”

This caught Olivia off guard. She smiled and then said, “Why do we need an excuse to have a meal together? We can do this anytime.”

Brian was a little shocked to hear that. “Really? So we’re friends?”
