Dave said to give her something, but there was no movement.She understood and stood up judiciously,"If you got something to talk about, I’ll go first. What would this gentleman like to drink?"
"No, thank you!" Dave replied with a light smile and watched her leave before handing the bag to Olive.
Olive took a look inside and was surprised to see the coat she left at the Minghu villa. Alan asked Dave to bring it to her, what exactly did it mean?
She looked up at Dave, just as he was looking at her, his eyes were heavy with meaning.
"Mr. Hoyle is getting married, Olive, don't you have any idea?"
Olive smiled softly,"What do you think I should have,Mr. Harrod?"
She had no idea at all, her mind was blank, or she was unwilling to think about it and was selectively escaping.
"Your daughter is very cute." Dave changed the subject.He had been watching, thinking it was a pity that the little angelic girl was not Alan's child. If he could tell the truth, he did not like the princess Ophelia, for no reason at all.
"Thank you, if nothing else..."It had better be nothing. If Alan had been destined to be one of the unattainable dreams of her life, she would never want to see anyone around him again whether she knew or not. The so-called out of sight out of mind was probably is this.
But Dave quickly interrupted,"Olive, Annie is clearly your own daughter. Why did you lie to me about it?You said she is your adopted daughter."
"It is not honorable to have a baby before marriage." Olive shrugged.
But there was no fear and taboo in her expression.Dave suddenly felt that he had never understood the woman in front of him.
