Olivia Jenkins woke up to find that Daniel Marshall was not there.
Olivia got out of bed as if nothing had happened, washed up, and headed downstairs for breakfast.
Auntie Jane lowered her voice and asked carefully, “Ma’am, the master left the house very early. Did you two have a quarrel?”
Olivia’s expression showed no emotional fluctuation as she replied calmly, “Auntie Jane, we did not argue. We just disagreed on so issues. There’s no need to prepare dinner for tonight; I have plans.”
Auntie Jane nodded and retreated without saying anything more.
After breakfast, Olivia went to work, unaffected by the argunt from the night before.
She didn’t call Daniel nor did she text him.
Being with Daniel, Olivia reminded herself to always maintain a certain distance from him. She had to care less if she didn’t want to get hurt, if she didn’t want to suffer.
Valerie Howard furrowed her brows, racking her brain. “Olivia, isn’t today Saturday? Don’t you have the day off? And aren’t you and Daniel supposed to be taking your wedding photos?”
The mo did ntion that they were supposed to take their wedding photos today. Daniel had left early in the morning. Was she planning to take the photos by herself?
Could that even be called a wedding photo?
What was the point of taking aningless wedding photos?
Wouldn’t a wedding photo devoid of joy and sweetness be an eyesore even if it was just a decoration?
Olivia cast her eyes down, her gaze dim and lackluster. Her heart felt as though it had been doused with a bucket of cold water. But she said, trying to keep up appearances, “I am going back to the office to have a look. So people are still working there.”
Valerie looked at Olivia but didn’t say anything.
Had her brother been saying that Daniel was really angry? Had they argued?
Valerie felt awkward asking about such a matter. Olivia might not even want to talk about it.
As the car stopped at a red light, Valerie took a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Olivia.
“Have so candy. It’s boring anyway, and the traffic is usually heavy in the morning, so we won’t get to the office anyti soon.”
Olivia took the lollipop, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
“You’re pretty thoughtful. Thank you!”
“No problem, Olivia. When I’m bored or feeling down, I eat a lollipop. Life can be bitter enough, right? Why not add a bit of sweetness? What’s wrong with eating a lollipop? We’re all precious in our own right!”
Valerie’s words managed to make Olivia smile. This lifted Olivia’s spirits a bit. “You’re right, we should all cherish ourselves.”
“Olivia, you should smile more. I think you radiate joy when you smile. I bet every man would be attracted to you then.”
Valerie’s words managed to deepen Olivia’s smile, and she felt reassured. “I seldom see your brother smile. He often seems stern, which makes him seem very fierce.”
“Let’s not talk about him. He’s such a fool. All that sternness is an act. He says if he doesn’t keep a stern face, people won’t respect him. Daniel hardly ever smiles either. They’re pretty much the sa type.”
At that instant, Olivia felt much lighter, less stifled.
Valerie’s phone suddenly rang, and she answered it with her bluetooth headset.
After the call, Valerie glanced at Olivia.
“Daniel asked to take you to the airport now.”
Understanding the need to not put Valerie in a tough spot, Olivia said, “Sure, let’s head to the airport..”
“Are you leaving Serene City? Olivia, you have not packed anything!”
A glint flashed in Olivia’s sparkling eyes. “We’ll find out when we get to the airport.”
Upon arrival at the airport, Olivia saw Daniel.
Daniel took Olivia’s hand of his own accord, seemingly having forgotten about last night’s argunt, as if there had been no cold war between them.
