When they came out of the cemetery, John pulled open the back door of the car and shoved lan into it. "Sit in the back."
With that said, he walked around the car and got into the front passenger seat.
Olivia took a double take, glanced at him, and sat next to lan.
"lan, how have you been eating?”
lan raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter? Phoebe, are you gonna cook me good food again? I'm indeed a little tired of instant noodles. What are you going to make for me today?"
"What do you feel like having?"
"I'm having cravings for everything. Why don't we have a barbecue? It's been a long time since I have any.”
Olivia could not say no to lan's enthusiastic invitation. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, we'll cook whatever you want. Weill buy the ingredients later.”
"Yeah, I know a market. It's fresh, and there wont be any paparazzi."
Olivia paused. "Are you being followed?"
lan glanced at her and smiled. "You're being followed, not me."
"I've been watching the news lately, and you've been trending a lot. You were trending yesterday because of a dress. I think someone must be following you.”
With that said, he patted John again. "But John already got rid of those stalkers for you, so dont worry.”
"Is that so?"
Olivia peered at John but did not thank him. She soon heard lan say, "Zac seems to be in a lot of trouble too. Is he okay? If
"It's alright. He'll sort it out.”
"I hope so. It's chaotic wherever Dorothy goes. I don't want the Quinton family to end up like the Larson family.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Olivia had mixed feelings when she saw lan frowning.
She had no idea if she was paranoid. She always thought lan had seen through something. What he said today was implying something...
John glanced at the two in the rearview mirror and said, "You'd better think about what to cook for the barbecue later.”
He still wanted her to enjoy the sibling affection before the truth was revealed.
When John sent Olivia back to Elegance Gardens, it was already 6 PM.
They kept quiet the whole way, but he could tell Olivia was happy.
"You can visit lan by yourself in the future if you want. Don't always be forced to go."
Olivia snorted coldly. "Don't worry about it."
"Liv, will you stop being so hostile to me?"
"Don't think you can wipe the slate clean just because you sent my mother some flowers.”
John grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms. He chuckled as he watched her bite her lip with a determined face.
"That's how you should treat other men, not me."
"The man I hate the most is you. Am I supposed to smile at you?"
"Liv, don't forget the most terrifying part is the unknown, and you already know me. You've also seen the worst of me. I don't have to pretend anything in front of you."
With that said, he touched her cheek gently with longing in his eyes.
"It's the people hiding from you that you need to watch out for.”
Olivia thought he was talking about Zac and said with a sneer, “Don't start a fight here."
"I'm not talking about Zac." John’s fingertip brushed against her lips. "I know Zac better than you do. He's a good guy who won't hurt you, but I don't know about the rest. Including Mr. M and Xavier."
"You can't assume that everyone is like you. Some people are never nice to get something."
John chuckled and leaned up to her, their lips almost touching.
Liv, there’s a reason why a man is nice to a woman. Mark my words."
