Chapter 90
Stunned when she heard William’s voice, Olivia quickly collected herself and turned.
She didn’t expect to see something that would surprise her even more.
William was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up slightly. On top of his white shirt was a white apron of hers.
For a moment, Olivia suspected that she had gone blind!
Yes, she must have been hallucinating because she didn’t sleep all night!
“Breakfast is ready. Come and have a taste. Just as Olivia was suspecting that she had gone blind, William’s voice rang again, calling her back to earth completely.
This was actually really happening!
Olivia walked to the open kitchen doubtfully. She saw well–cooked pancakes and a gla** of warm chocolate milk on the table.
They were all her favorites!
“I didn’t expect Mr. Kinsman to be so good at cooking.”
“There are still many things that you don’t know about me, but don’t worry, I’ll give you a chance to learn more about me slowly.”
Olivia was speechless.
How could he be so confident?
Olivia cursed in her heart, but she walked to the dining table without protesting and sat down.
After a busy night, she was indeed a little hungry.
Moreover, having breakfast with William was once her dream.
The only difference was that she used to be the one cooking, and William had never had time for her. Although they were husband and wife, they were like two parallel lines that would never meet.
She really didn’t expect that after so many years, the thing she had been most looking forward to would come true so easily. Not to mention that William had prepared the mouth–watering pancakes all by himself.
Therefore, it wasn’t that William didn’t have time for her. He just didn’t have time for the “Olivia Clarke” back then.
Such irony!
She felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She should have gotten up and left directly, but seeing that the humble and small wish had suddenly come true, she really wanted to have a try.
Even if it was just one bite.
Therefore, for some unknown reason, she sat down and quietly ate the pancakes.
It tasted so good!
“Miss Clarke, how is it? Do you like it?”
“Yes, it is very good. You are good at cooking.”
“As long as you like it.”
“Since you are so good at cooking, the old Mrs. Kinsman must have been very happy.” Olivia couldn’t help but say.
“My wife never had breakfast I made before. I regret it deeply, so I learned to cook later on. I hope that I can make breakfast for her one day if I have a chance to do so.” She had just had it and said that it was delicious.
William sighed meaningfully.
As he spoke, he put another batch of freshly–made pancakes onto Olivia’s plate.
Olivia lowered her head and looked at the steaming pancakes on the plate. She suddenly felt like crying.
It was lucky that Gideon hurried into the room just then.
“Miss Clarke, the auction will be held at 10 o’clock. It’s time to set off.”
Gideon glanced at his watch and said in a gentle and reserved voice.

Chapter 90
“Okay, let’s go.”
Olivia left as though running away.
In the largest auction hall of Melburgh Hotel.
Olivia was wearing a low–key, tight black dress. The dress was embedded with just the right amount of diamonds, glimmering brightly under the light.
It was as if the stars in the sky had fallen onto her dress.
Her long, slightly wavy hair hung loosely over her shoulder, and she was wearing a pair of sungla**es and high heels. As soon as she strode into the hotel, she instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
However, she didn’t expect that as soon as she entered the auction hall, she saw a familiar figure from afar.
William was there, wearing a nice velvet suit. Despite being in the crowd, he looked as dazzling as a noble king.
Wasn’t he at home just now?
He certainly got here fast!
At this moment, William saw her too. A bright smile appeared on his delicate face. In Olivia’s eyes, it was like a flower blooming in hell.
Olivia’s eyes darkened. She pretended not to see him, turned around, and chose a seat far away from William deliberately.
The charity auction today was hosted by the International Council of Nonprofits, under the theme to support the construction of schools in rural areas. All profits would be invested in construction projects for building schools in rural areas. As President of the Council, she had to attend.
Moreover, she also wanted to contribute to the education of children in rural areas.
Ever since the exposure of the fake charity incident of Gianna, there seemed to be no news of the Kinsman family continuing to do charity work. William’s name was not on the list of guests invited to the auction Gideon showed her the night before too.
Lost in her thought, Olivia was full of questions.
She even suspected that he had followed her here on purpose!
But she had no proof.
As Olivia was lost in confusion, the onlookers around her were already stirring.
Especially the socialites of Melburgh, who were envious and jealous of Olivia. They were now huddled together and whispering to one another about her, hoping to see her downfall.
“What is going on between Olivia and Mr. Kinsman? Are they fighting?”
“How dare Olivia put on airs in front of Mr. Kinsman? She’s so arrogant!”
“I don’t know where this woman comes from. She thinks so highly of herself just because Mr. Kinsman treasures her. She really doesn’t know her place!”
“We’ll see. If she pisses Mr. Kinsman off, it’ll be the end of her!”
Olivia turned a deaf ear to everyone’s discussion and watched the auction quietly.
She looked indifferent and distant, unaware of all the competition around her.
“The next item to be auctioned is the work of the internationally renowned designer, Miss Fiorre. The initial bid for the emerald necklace is 20 million dollars.”
The auctioneer’s deep and enthusiastic voice resounded through the entire auction hall. Behind him, the etiquette staff held up a beautiful emerald necklace inlaid with diamonds carefully.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Olivia, who had been watching coldly previously, finally raised her hand slowly.
“40 million dollars.”
Olivia said her bid slowly, without showing any trace of emotion.
When William heard her voice, he raised his hand too immediately.
How could he let Olivia pay for what she liked herself?
