"What are you looking at!"Olivia fiercely smacked him on the head with a pillow.Wayne quickly averted his gaze. "Sorry, I was groggy from sleep and forgot you were in my arms."He got up as the flush on his face quickly faded. He leaned on the edge of the bed and said, "I slept really well last night.""Get out!" Olivia was furious, wishing to chop his fingers off and take the ring directly.Wayne was distracted all morning, occasionally glancing at his fingers."Mr. Maxwell, is there something on your hand? You've looked at it a hundred times," Alan asked as he was puzzled.Wayne dismissed his unrealistic thoughts and replied, "It's nothing. Go find me some women.""Women? Mr. Maxwell, you've finally come around. A man should settle down and then focus on his career. Look at your age. Getting married and having children is the best thing you can do now.""Who told you I'm getting married? I'm asking you to find women to satisfy my needs.""Huh?"Alan was confused. The man

Having experienced this morning's events, Olivia instinctively jumped out of Wayne's embrace. She made sure there was a distance between them. "Stay away from me."This move displeased Wayne. He asked, "What, do I have a contagious disease?"Olivia pinched her nose and made an excuse. "The smell of perfume on you is almost suffocating me."Wayne glanced down at the lipstick marks on his shirt. He forgot to change as he had rushed out.Olivia seemed rather pleased with this development. She thought Wayne wouldn't bother her if his desires were satisfied elsewhere.She crossed her arms and advised, "It's normal to release tension occasionally, but don't overindulge. Be careful. Too much can lead to kidney weakness and chronic prostatitis."Wayne gritted his teeth. "How do you know if I'm overindulging?""Look at the lipstick marks on you. They're from three different brands, three shades. So, you've been with at least three women today. With those beauties in your arms, could yo

Olivia knew the situation was spiraling beyond her control. How could she tolerate such audacity from a man? The moment Wayne's touch nearly grazed her skin, she kneed him fiercely in the abdomen. She took advantage of Wayne's momentary pain and kicked him away.She scrambled off the bed, panicked, and quickly grabbed a bottle of red wine. Not caring about the vintage bottle, she smashed it against the table. Wine spilled everywhere. She pointed the jagged edge at her own neck and sternly warned, "Don't come any closer!"All this happened in the blink of an eye. Wayne knew she had a fiery temper but had not anticipated her being this fierce. "Don't be rash. I won't touch you. Just put the bottle down."Olivia would not trust the words of a man inflamed with desire. Her voice was cold. "I'm warning you, if you lay a hand on me again, I'll end my life right in front of you.""You won't do it. You have children. How could you bear to leave them?" Wayne challenged."I might have vul

Olivia had a plan. "Wait for his insomnia to kick in, then give him the sedative." She calculated in her mind and continued, "You get ready. If I'm going to act in three days, I'll place a red anthurium here. If the mission is canceled, I'll put a magnolia.""I'll wait for your good news," Undecim responded.After their brief meeting, they parted ways. Olivia returned to her room to rest. Wayne did not visit her that night, and she wondered if he had slept.The next day, she went to the Royal Hospital as usual. Over the past few days, Olivia had gotten along well with everyone. They had elevated her from Ms. Ophelia to Dr. Ophelia in their address.Wayne had some time to visit the hospital. He saw Olivia turn sideways and explain medical knowledge to someone. She patiently compared two similar herbs, and the admiration was evident on the face of a young medical student who had just joined.Wayne pondered why he was drawn to a woman who wasn't even strikingly beautiful. Perhaps i

Marvin leaned closer to Olivia. Excitedly, he asked, "Ms. Ophelia, what topic are you thinking about? Can I join in the discussion? I've never heard of the Snowdrop you mentioned previously. You know so many herbs."Olivia felt even more awkward now. The topic she was thinking about was a bit explicit.After all, she couldn't tell Marvin about how she was planning to tear open Ethan's clothes and kiss him to relieve her lovesickness."Let's discuss this next time."After taking a few bites of her food, Olivia started preparing Wayne's herbs. Fanning the fire, she waited patiently for Ethan.With his identity, he would definitely need to socialize with Wayne. Even though they despised each other to the point they wanted to stab one another, they had to have a meal together, chat, shake hands, and put on a fake smile. After eating, they had many more things to do.Ethan and Wayne were absent-minded.Wayne asked, "It must've been tough for you to come all the way here. Please forgi
