Chapter 141
Chapter 141
Olivia was the last to enter the house because she had given Gideon some instructions outside.
When she entered the living room, she only saw Ezra holding his phone with a smirk.
Her intuition told her that this brat must have done something evil again!
She asked, “Where’s Luci, Ezra? Has he gone to the lab downstairs?”
“Yes, Daddy has just carried him downstairs for an examination,” Ezra answered.
“Well, let’s go downstairs together for a look,” Olivia said as she took his hand and walked to the elevator.
“Why are you holding your phone whose screen shows a QR code?” Olivia asked. She didn’t see clearly that his phone screen showed a QR code for receiving payments until she got close to him.
“Uh, I just joked with Uncle Smith and scared him away!” Ezra replied, involuntarily bursting into laughter when he thought of how Jameson escaped.
Olivia was speechless, thinking this wicked boy was getting more naughty recently. It seemed that it was time to send him to a kindergarten so that he would be occupied with something.
When Olivia took Ezra to the elevator, they heard a “ding,” indicating that the elevator had come upstairs.
As the elevator doors opened, William walked out.
“Luci has had an examination that shows nothing wrong with him. Can you come with me to make some pancakes for the children, honey?” William walked up to Olivia, stopped beside her, then bent down slightly and whispered to her.
Her heart sank when Olivia heard his words, but she didn’t bicker with him, which was rare.
“Ezra, go and find Luci, okay?” She asked Ezra.
“Well, since you tried to send me away on purpose, I can only leave so as not to disturb your intimate moment,” Ezra said, waving his hand. He looked helpless, but his expression vividly showed his intense curiosity about their conversation.
With a sigh, Olivia directly pushed him into the elevator and pressed the down button.
Sometimes, it wasn’t a good thing to have a son who was too bright for his own good; she could never hide anything from him!
Soon, there were only Olivia and William left upstairs. She did not intend to beat around the bush.
She asked, “William, I don’t think you just want me to join you in making pancakes. Do you want the custody of the children?”
“We haven’t divorced yet, so the custody of the children naturally belongs to us,” William said as he slowly approached Olivia until he forced her into a corner.
However, he was too close to her, so they seemed to be in an affectionate atmosphere, making Olivia feel slightly uncomfortable.
“William, I think I’ve made it very clear before that I won’t maintain our marriage,” she said with a cold face, gazing at William quietly, unmoved, with no intention of arguing with him.
She acted as if facing a stranger emotionlessly right now.
She had neither hatred nor love for him!
“You haven’t even tried. Why do you have to make such a quick decision? To tell you the truth, I will never divorce you, and I won’t allow my children to leave their home,” William said.
Looking at her cold expression, he was disturbed and even annoyed.
Did she dislike him so much that she was even unwilling to hate him?
“William, what’s the point of threatening me with the children?” Olivia asked with obvious anger in her tone, fixing her cold eyes on him.
Hearing her words, William suddenly smiled.
“That’s right. You don’t love me, but you can hate me! I don’t mind your hating or blaming me. Please don’t leave me, okay?” William suddenly held her in his arms tightly and whispered in her ear.
Olivia was a little confused. She even felt that it was a lu natic with a strong desire to be hurt rather than William, who was holding her at this moment.

But why did he want that?
Just because he didn’t want her to take the children away, he didn’t mind even if she hated him and didn’t love him.
“Let’s get along peacefully, William, okay? Even if we get divorced, we can raise our children together. You can visit them at any time and will be their father forever. Isn’t that good?” Olivia, held in his arms, asked in a gentle and sad tone.
“No! Olivia, remember, I won’t let you go again!” He said.
“You’re so strange, William. You sound as if you once let me go. Weren’t you the one who attempted to kill me back then? The children and I survived by luck. Now I never stop the children from recognizing you as their father. What else do you want?” Olivia said.
Held tightly by him, Olivia found it a little hard to breathe, but it reminded her that she had gone through such a hard time when she was on the verge of death.
At that time, she felt miserable, praying that she would die soon and that death would separate William and her forever!
Unfortunately, fate had decided otherwise. She survived and met him again. They seemed to be destined to get stuck in their relationship.
Sensing that something was wrong with her, who was in his arms, William let go of her, only to see her crying silently.
The tears streamed down her face silently like beads from a broken string. At this sight, he felt as if a knife were piercing his heart and began to panic!
“It’s my fault, Olivia. Please don’t cry. Give me some time. If I still can’t make you feel my true love for you, I’ll let you go and give you custody of the children, okay?” William asked, as flustered as a child who had made a mistake.
Seeing him act like this, Olivia suddenly felt even more aggrieved.
Why did he treat her like that five years ago? He had never been so gentle and flustered in front of her!
Nevertheless, Olivia, who had restored a little sanity, knew that it was the biggest compromise that William could make at present.
“Do you mean it?” She asked.
“Yes! Please believe me again, okay?” William said. Seeing that Olivia had stopped crying, he seized the occasion to gain her
trust.
“Okay, but no more than three months,” Olivia said, wiping her tears away with an aggrieved look.
“Deal!” William said, finally relieved. He reached out to wipe away Olivia’s tears, but more and more tears streamed down her cheeks, as if they were endless.
He gazed at her red eyes, feeling deep remorse.
He said, “I’ll make you stay voluntarily in the next three months, Olivia.”
At this moment, near the elevator shaft.
Ezra was leaning against the wall with Luci and Jameson, trying hard to hear the conversation William and Olivia were having upstairs.
In order to protect privacy, this building was equipped with high-tech anti-eavesdropping devices, so they could barely hear the sounds from upstairs near the elevator shaft.
Ezra, who had made sure of this, led the others to eavesdrop on the conversation between William and Olivia. Unfortunately, the sounds from upstairs were intermittent, which caused him to be unable to hear a word clearly.
He was so distressed!
Jameson, who was standing behind Ezra and Luci, craned his neck expectantly with a strong curiosity about their conversation, asking, “Ezra, what did you hear? Tell me!”
