Christoff looked at her but was speechless for a while. Did she regard him as a friend? Unsure, he asked again, “Are we friends now?”
Olivia looked at him firmly. “Why would I come with you if I didn’t consider you as a friend?” “You aren’t here to find Eugene?”
“My goal is to find him, but I also have to ensure my safety. Although you are annoying most of the time, my instinct tells me that you won’t hurt me, so I regard you as a friend.” Olivia looked at him with sincere eyes. Though she admitted it was not entirely true, she had to word it that way.
The man in front of her might be dangerous, and although she had an intuition that he wouldn’t hurt her, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt Eugene.
She had to ensure that Christoff wasn’t involved in this matter, and even if he was, she hoped that her words would make him waver and withdraw himself from the conspiracy. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of them to join hands. On the contrary, Christoff glanced at Olivia in surprise. Her words did shock him.
How could she believe him by intuition? No one had ever said such a thing to him before. Who was he? He was Christoff Stevenson, the ruler of Samuel Court. No one had ever fully trusted him, but he somehow gained the trust of a woman he had barely known for a month and got along with for less than a week.
His current feelings were indescribable. He was delighted but was also a little guilty. He wanted to erase the deceptive acts he did to her, and he even secretly promised not to lie to her anymore. This time, however…
It took a while before he found his voice again. “I’m glad you’re well aware of that. Even if I don’t like Eugene, I won’t do such a thing on the premise of hurting my friends. Let’s head out and have a look at the situation now,” he urged and tugged Olivia’s arm.
