Olivia wasn't the naïve young woman she used to be. The people in power had access to more intelligence and resources than normal people. It would be dangerous if she was close to Mason, but she could also acquire a lot more in return.The most important thing is that she could also help Ethan discreetly. She could play a crucial role in helping him manipulate the situation.Ethan was ready to get up before daybreak. Olivia wrapped her arms around his waist and nestled against his back."Are you leaving?""Yeah. I've been busy recently.""You come here to spend the night despite being so busy?" Olivia poked fun at him.Ethan turned around, drew her into his arms, and kissed her. "It's because you're too alluring. If I don't keep an eye on you, I'm afraid someone might take you from me."The two of them shared a long and passionate kiss. They had been indulging in their lust a lot. Since they abandoned their responsibilities, they were able to enjoy themselves more. Their
Olivia said calmly, "Mr. Heath, I don't want to seem rude, but Mr. Heath is no longer in a critical condition. He just needs some time and care. His body would eventually recover. "My presence wouldn't be needed. Besides, your sister doesn't want me around. I don't want to be the source of strife in your family."Since Linus visited her in person, he probably didn't just want her to treat Mason. He wanted a great doctor like her close by so she would be able to take care of any emergencies that might arise.A talent like her had to be kept close by. "We've already been through that. My sister has been spoiled by our family. The things she said and did to you were very rude. "I apologize in her stead. I guarantee that it won't happen again.""Since you said that, I can get on board. But I have a few conditions. "The first one is that I have some patients in other places, too. You can't restrict my freedom.""Naturally. But since you would be working for my father, you have
Olivia quickly replied, "I'm sorry. I was just making small talk."Linus regained his composure. "I was being too sensitive. Forgive me."Then, both of them fell silent. Olivia followed behind him. This man was so dense, even more than Ethan when she just got married to him.He was also very stern, but he wasn't a bad person. When they got out of the car, he even opened the door for her. "The roads are slippery. Watch your step."In his eyes, all women are frail. Olivia nodded. She remained polite and distant. Mason's face lit up with joy when he saw that Olivia had returned. "Vanessa, you're finally back. You haven't even made the angel food cake you promised last time."Olivia smiled. "I'll go make it now, then.""There's no rush. You just came back. Take a break. Make me some tea.""Okay."Tatiana looked at Olivia. Mason had always been distant and cautious toward other people, but he treated her differently. At first, she was also grateful that Olivia had saved
Mason frowned. "Do you think marriage is so simple? You can't just force him to marry Krystal when he doesn't like her. Even if you do, she would be miserable in a loveless marriage. "That was why I never forced him to marry her all these years. I thought he would be able to let go of the past as time went on, but now I think he's too deeply in love."Tatiana sat on the bed with a bit of a temper. "Why won't anything work? Our daughter has always been the apple of our eyes. "She's led a good life since she was young, but now she can't even marry the man she loves. What do we do?""There are so many good men out there. Does she have to marry a man who has been married before?" Mason was thinking further into the future. "Who cares how many times he's been married as long as Krystal likes him? If you don't want to do anything about this, I'll take matters into my own hands."Tatiana had made up her mind. Mason looked at her with a displeased expression. "Why are you in such
Olivia's voice was like a gentle breeze that swept all the tension away. Even the frown on Mason's face faded.When Mason was angry, people who knew him would never approach him. Even Tatiana wouldn't go to him when he was enraged. Ethan thought Mason would ask Olivia to go away. Instead, Mason said calmly, "Come in."Olivia opened the door and walked in. She pretended not to know Ethan. "You're here, too, Mr. Miller. It's a good thing I made plenty. Stay and try some."It was obvious to Ethan that Olivia had deliberately come in at the nick of time to save him. Her acting had become very convincing."I have something else I need to do. I won't disturb Mr. Heath's rest anymore.""Alright. You can try some next time, then."Olivia put the cake on the table and went to the tea table. "What tea do you want to drink, Mr. Heath?"The fluidity of Olivia's motions entranced Mason as she prepared the tea. Some long-forgotten memories emerged in his mind again. His expression grew
Olivia smelled a story. "What happened back then?"Mason shook his head. "Nothing. Let's eat."Mason insisted that Olivia had to call him "Grandpa" at least once.Since there wasn't anyone around, Olivia said softly, "Grandpa Heath.""Good. Good girl." Mason patted her on the head. No matter how you look at him at that moment, Mason looked like a kind old man. There wasn't a trace of the powerful man that he was supposed to be. When she felt Mason's hand on her head, Olivia had a weird feeling. It was because she hadn't been with a family member for so long. She didn't hate the feeling, Mason was discharged after a few days. Since Olivia was his personal doctor, she followed them back to the Heath Residence.The fleet of cars drove into a secure compound in Aldenvine. There were guards everywhere. All of them were well-built soldiers. Olivia got out of the car and helped Mason out. Krystal and Tatiana were in another car. As soon as she got out, she muttered, "Why do
Olivia looked up at the butler, saying, "The Heath residence is quite huge, so it must have other guest rooms, right?""The Heath family rarely receives guests, so the few guest rooms have always been like that. "The heating system broke down because of lack of use, and the other rooms are the same."The night will pass soon enough. I'll get someone to bring over a hot water bag or two later. You won't feel cold with them."Olivia smiled at him. "That works, too.""I have something to attend to, so I won't bother you anymore.""It's fine. I have something else to ask you about. Mr. Warner, where is your room?""In the inner yard. What's the matter?""Why don't we exchange rooms tonight? You can sleep here."Alfred's expression shifted. "That won't do. It's too much trouble.""Why would it be too much trouble? I'm not touching your stuff; I'm just going to sleep there. I don't mind you at all. You can use the hot water bags, too."After all, you probably won't feel too cold
"I'm going back where I came from.""Aren't you worried about paying liquidated damages?" Alfred asked hastily.Olivia chuckled. "Don't worry, I can still afford that tiny sum.""You can't leave! You just want a room with heating, right? I can get that arranged for you. It's no problem at all."Tatiana only asked that Olivia have an uncomfortable stay. She didn't ask Alfred to drive Olivia out.If Olivia truly left, how was Alfred going to explain himself?Olivia was aware of Alfred's thoughts. She hated people like him who overestimated their authority.Olivia crossed her arms as she looked at Alfred coldly. "What's the matter? There weren't any rooms before this, but now they appeared out of nowhere!"Mr. Warner, do you take me for a fool? Or do you think that you can bully me however you like?"Alfred said sullenly, "It's just a room, so you're causing too much of a fuss. Do you seriously think that you're a rich young lady or something?"You should be grateful that you ha
