    Chapter 234


    "Who is he? What did he do to you?" I asked sharply, but she kept stammering and refused to give me


    a straight answer. At this moment, Emma noticed something was off between us and walked over.


    Then, she rested her chin on my shoulder and murmured, "What are you guys talking about?"


    "Who is he? What did he do to you?" I asked sharply, but she kept stammering and refused to give me


    a straight answer. At this moment, Emma noticed something was off between us and walked over.


    Then, she rested her chin on my shoulder and murmured, "What are you guys talking about?"


    When Olivia heard Emma''s words, she looked uneasy. I didn''t want to give her a hard time, so I


    stopped bothering her about it. Still, I felt highly difited about her actions. At that moment, I


    suddenly remembered Nichs.


    However, my mind filled with white noise when I thought about Nichs. I knew I wasn''t in the right


    mindset to figure things out, so I suppressed my emotional turmoil and said, "It''s nothing." Then, I


    quickly changed the subject and asked, "Isn''t Christopher here yet?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "How should I know?" Emma said faintly.


    After a year, her attitude toward Christopher never changed. I honestly wondered what was going on in


    her head.


    Nheless, I patted her head, and she wrapped her arms around my waist, smiling as she said, "Can


    you apany me, Renee? I want to take a look around."


    Although Emma was younger than us, she was an attentive person. She probably guessed that


    something was off between Olivia and me, so she wanted to separate us before our temper got the


    better of us.


    "Okay." I obliged since I knew she only had our best interests in mind.


    When we went downstairs, we encountered Christopher, who had just parked his car in front of the


    hotel. When he saw us, he was stunned.


    "Did you guys specificallye here to greet me?"


    "You sure are a narcissist, Uncle Christopher," Emma said with a touch of sarcasm.


    Christopher didn''t take offense to her snarky remark and merely smiled gently.


    "We''re just taking a walk," I smiled and exined.


    "Alright. I''m going to find Olivia."


    Then, he strode into the hotel; his back silhouette was tall and broad. I directed my attention to the


    young girl beside me and said softly, "Christopher is the hope I wished upon when I was young. He was


    so outstanding and dreamy. However, he will always be the light I can''t get close to…"


    At the moment, stars filled the night sky of Goldshore. When Emma heard my faint remark, she


    wrapped her arms around mine and asked curiously, "Why can''t you get close to him?"


    I tilted my head and looked at her beautiful and youthful face. "Sometimes light burns. When I got to


    know him, he was a light. When it came to Olivia… You probably know about their affairs. He used to


    be Olivia''s hope. Only you… you didn''t fall in love at first sight when you met him as we do, and you


    don''t admire him. But you''re carefree when you''re around him. You can still be yourself despite being


    around him."


    Emma looked at me solemnly and questioned, " Why are you talking about him out of the blue?"


    "Christopher told me that he likes you," I replied frankly.


    Emma frowned at my words and asked, "Do you wish for us to be together?"


    "No. I just hope that you will give him a chance."


    "He treats me like a gentleman, Renee," said Emma.


    She was right. Christopher had always been a gentleman.


    …


    Ever since Christopher had confessed his love to Emma on New Year, he had never brought it up


    again since he knew her well. If she were unwilling to ept him, it would be useless for him to keep


    courting her. Hence, he decided to take things slow and kept meeting up with her using all kinds of


    excuses. He believed that one day, she would open her heart to him.


    However, he couldn''t wait forever. After all, he was fourteen years older than her.


    "I was not when you were born, and you were old when I was born." This was what Emma had said to


    him once.


    Christopher thought about their interactions as he walked past the two women, who were both


    important people in his life, and entered the hotel. When he arrived on the third floor, he saw Olivia


    waiting for him. She was also important to him, but she could only be part of his family, and he had


    always treated her like a sister.


    Now that Olivia was getting married, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    "Olivia." He called out to her.


    When Olivia saw him, she smiled and said, "Can we take a walk by the riverbank, Chris?"


    There were some words that she wanted to tell him. She wanted to end this unrequited love thatsted


    for decades, even if he had never once given her false hope.


    "Let''s go," said Christopher as he nodded.


    When they arrived at the riverbank, they didn''t notice a man standing behind a willow tree, letting the


    chilly wind blow against him.


    William watched as the two walked by the riverbank. One of them was his soon-to-be wife, while the


    other was someone Olivia had never introduced to him, but he knew who the man was.


    Of course, he knew who Christopher was. How could he not? After all, he had listened to his concert.


    William also knew that Christopher, the worldwide international musician, was also Olivia''s brother.


    He knew that Olivia had two brothers, and they were twins. He had seen one of them when he went to


    Goldshore to propose to Olivia. Besides, he could easily tell them apart since they had very distinct


    traits; Christopher looked warm, while Nichs was intimidating.


    As Olivia and Christopher walked by the riverbank, they were getting closer and closer to him. At that


    moment, he felt that Olivia was different from her usual self; she looked meek and restrained.


    William pursed his lips at her demeanor. Then, he heard her tense voice, saying, "I''m sorry, Chris. I


    didn''t mean to inform you about my wedding at thest minute. It''s just… I''m sorry. I… I really miss


    you."


    "I used to imagine what you would look like when you are married, Olivia. You would have been a sight


    glowing with happiness." Christopher''s voice was soft as heforted her.


    "I have been chasing after you worldwide for decades, Chris. You missed out on Renee because of


    me… I''m sorry. I know that my love is selfish, and I was wrong. To be honest, though, I have always


    wanted to tell you something. I have finally given up on you, Chris. I hope you can find your true


    happiness and hope that you can say the same to me."


    When William heard her words, he finally knew Olivia''s secret. Still, he wondered if she had found true


    happiness now that she was with him.


    When he thought about the fact that Olivia had loved Christopher for decades and followed him around


    the world when the man was uninterested in her, he was heartbroken for her.


    "I wish you true happiness, Olivia."


    As Christopher spoke, he ruffled Olivia''s hair, and thetter was stunned by his actions. "You have


    never ruffled my hair ever since I was a legal adult. I have been a burden to you for the past few years,


    making you ufortable and awkward due to my behavior," she said apologetically.


    "Olivia," Christopher said.


    "Chris…"


    "You will always be my family."


    Olivia and Renee were part of his family. At that moment, Olivia finally epted that he would always


    be her brother and that the one he loved was Emma.


    "Thank you for protecting me all these years, Chris."


    "I will always protect you." Christopher smiled.


    Olivia understood that Christopher would treat her better than anyone else if she had not been in love


    with him. If she were to fall in love with him. At this moment, she was truly grateful and fortunate that


    she had snapped back to her senses. Finally, she had found someone she wanted to cherish and


    protect, someone she was willing to bear his children.


    After Christopher had lingered for a moment, he returned to the hotel. Then, after he took a shower, he


    sent Emma a message.


    ''See youter, Emma.''


    …


    After Christopher had returned to the hotel, Olivia saw William standing by the willow tree after taking a


    few steps forward. The moment she noticed that William was looking at her with his beautiful eyes, she


    said softly, "Will."


    William hummed in response.


    "I am not pregnant."


    "I know," he replied.


    Olivia jerked her head and stared at him in confusion. "How did you know that?"


    "Did you forget what I do for a living?" asked William in amusement.


    William was a doctor.


    At that moment, Oliviaughed heartily and said, "Are you that all-knowing?"


    "I trust you," he replied earnestly.


    He believed with all her heart that she would not lie to him.


    When Olivia heard the hidden meaning of his words, her eyes reddened, and she desperately wanted


    to hug William, which she did.


    She lunged forward, burrowed her face into his embrace, and snuggled against him. Then, she said


    gratefully, "Thank you for being so understanding."


    As he embraced her, he heard her muffled voice calling out to him.


    "Yes?"


    "Will." She repeated.


    William didn''t know what to say in the face of her strange behavior.


    Finally, Olivia looked at him adoringly and confessed, "I love you, Will." She was genuinely grateful that


    he came into her life.


    He beamed at her confession and replied, "Thank you for choosing me, Olivia." He was also thankful


    that a proud woman like her was willing to marry him.


    "I''m going to be your bride tomorrow, Will."


    "Yes, and I''m going to be your groom tomorrow."
