Chapter 222


    Olivia’s new ce was not too far from thepany, and the rental was incredibly cheap. The


    only downfall was that she had to cross that alley. She did not think it was a big problem; thus,


    she rented the ce.


    Olivia turned around after stopping at the staircase. “I’m here. Thank you.”


    Edward stopped walking, “You’re wee.”


    “That…” Olivia scratchiedlier liead and revealed an embarrassed sinile. “They are still waiting,


    so I won’t ask you to go up with me. I’ll treat you to some tea another day.” Edward opened his


    mouth and muttered two words, “Not necessary.” “All right, goodbye.” Olivia did not know what


    to say to a reply like that, so she waved her hand. She noticed he was still standing there and


    not moving, so she went up the stairs. At the stairsnding, she stopped and looked down, but


    Edward was still standing there. Olivia waved and said, “You go ahead.”


    “Oh.” Although Edward said this, he remained rooted to the spot.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Olivia had no choice, so she did not say more. She hurried up the stairs and tiptoed into the


    house, worried about waking her mother. Next, Olivia went to her room and turned on the desk


    lamp. After some thought, she looked out of the window toward the ground floor,


    The tall and stout figure remained under the yellow streetmp. Edward even raised his liead.


    He turned around only after seeing the light in her room light up. Unliurried, lie headed for the


    alley. Olivia felt a warmth in her heart as she watched Edward’s back profile getting smaller with


    distance.


    Frank turned so that he was lying supine, but his face was ashen, so he pulled his nket over


    his head and felt relieved.


    “Frank, Mnie called his name softly, adding, “I can’te over in the next two days. We’ve


    almostpleted our new product, and I can’t find excuses to leave theb. Also, Nate won’t


    be as busy anymore. I’m afraid…”


    “Why are you so afraid of him?” Frank got out of bed and looked sideways at Mnie. He did


    not put on any clothes, only arge towel around his lips, revealing his skinny waist.


    Even without looking, Mnie knew he had lost more weight. They were intimate every few


    days, so she was very familiar with his body; thus, slie knew how skinny he was now.


    Other than boredom, Frank was anxious and worried.lle used to be a lethal force, but it


    seemned like Mnie would not be able to rely on liim for much longer.


    “It’s not that I’m afraid of him. I just don’t want to rock the boat.” Lifting the nket and silting


    up, Mnie saw Frank walk to the couch and sit down. He took out that thing again andid it


    on the table.


    “You and I are aware that everybody has their needs. Since that’s the case, I won’t hold you


    back. Since I’ve tried my best to fulfill your needs, you should not deny me what I want, don’t


    you think?”


    “You want to marry him?” Frankughed mockingly. In his eyes, Mnie was not a woman who


    would settle down.


    “For now, there is no better option than him,” she said frankly. “In the same way that to you, I


    am nothing more than the best option of the moment. Am I right?”


    Frank turned to look at Mnie andughed but did notment. He lowered his head, rolled


    some paper, and held it up to his nose, Then le leaned closer, feeling nausea,


    Mnie looked away because she did not want to see him doing that – instead, she got out of


    bed and went to the wasl?room. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly reacted and


    lowered hier lead. Between her legs and the floor was a little drop of scary red!
