Chapter 136


    After a brief exchange, ude proposed a trip to Sereneville. With no sses to attend on Saturday


    and her long absence from the vige, Olivia found the offer tempting. She thought for a while and


    ultimately agreed.


    After Tyler left that morning, she prepared to go. The maid asked, “Where are you off to, Ms. Olivia?


    Will you be back for lunch?”


    “Er… I’m not sure!” Olivia replied, then quickly left.


    ude was waiting for her at the university, and he courteously opened the car door for her.


    Olivia always felt calm around ude, unlike when she was with Tyler. “Thank you!” she said


    cheerfully.


    “For what?” ude chuckled. “Come on, let’s hit the road before we get stuck in traffic.”


    Olivia thought of what Tyler had said that night and nced at ude. What was going on? Why did


    Tyler warn her about upsetting ude?


    He noticed her gaze. “What is it?”


    “I… was just thinking about something.”


    “Hmm?”


    “Do you think there mighte a time when you… hurt me?”


    “No way,” ude replied immediately.


    She hadn’t expected such a quick answer.


    He looked at her and grinned. “Why would I do that? You’re the first girl I’ve been interested in since I


    got back.”

    “Really?” she asked tentatively.


    “Really.”


    For some reason, Olivia trusted him. “Okay, I believe you.”

    The drive took about 3 to 4 hours until they reached Sereneville. Olivia stared out the window, lost in


    thought as familiar sights passed by.


    ude knew what was on her mind. “Do you remember where your old house is? I can take you there.


    “It’s next to the elementary school I used to attend, St. Hope.”


    “Alright.”

    “No! It’s fine,” she said hurriedly. It was a little too far away.


    But ude knew it meant more than just distance. She hadn’t been happy living with the Joneses


    maybe she would’ve been happier here in this humble ce.


    “Let’s go. It’s your home, after all.”


    In silence, they pulled up to a small, rundown house near St. Hope School, Olivia was shocked to see


    her childhood home.


    ude got out of the car and opened the door. He took her hand and led her through a cobweb–filled


    door.


    “What are you doing?” she asked.
