Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 528
Unexpectedly, when Xavier heard this, heughed instead of being mad.
“Pheebs, aren’t you too hard on yourself? You seem like a much better person than me.”
Olivia did not expect him to react like this, and she did not know how to respond.
She could not confess she had been to prison.
After all, Olivia had been to prison, not Phoebe.
If Xavier was curious and investigated it, her identity might be exposed.
Of course, to her, the most important thing in her life was L.
It was hard enough for her to not have a dad.
If anyone found out L had a mother who had once been to prison, her future would be bad.
Thus, Olivia just smiled and shook her head. “I just think you have so many choices that you don’t need
to spend your time on me.
“After a failed marriage, I no longer believe in love.”
“I know, so I wasn’t expecting you to agree immediately.”
Xavier nced at her and said gently, “I hope you will give me a reason to stay by your side. Don’t
always chase me away. That’s all I want.”
At this point, she did not know what to say, so she kept her mouth shut.
By the time they got to the restaurant, it was already evening.
The golden sunset hit the lush trees lit by the evening glow. It looked beautiful but sad at the
same time.
Olivia did not like sunsets, but she felt she was like one.
She feared that one day she would sink into the ground like the sunset, never to rise again.
Noticing she was in a daze, Xavier approached and patted her. “What’s wrong?”
Olivia snapped out of her thought and nced at him. “Oh, nothing. It’s just that I haven’t seen nature
for a long time.”
“Let’s go in.”
“Okay.”
When they were in the restaurant, Olivia realized Xavier’s description of the restaurant was wrong. It
was not small at all.
There was a courtyard, and in it were waterfalls and fake mountains. Further in was a long corridor that
looked like it was from the medieval era.
They followed the attendant into the private room in the middle, which was titled ‘Bridge Over
Water’.
The private room had a balcony with a pool underneath it. In the pool were some lotus flowers.
“This ce is unique.”
“So, do you like it?”
“Well, yes. Thank you for bringing me here.”
It had been four years since Olivia left Ocean city, and it was the first time she had seen something so
close to home in four years.
Xavier walked to her side. “I have already ordered the dish. Taste it, and see if you like it.”
“Okay.”
Then, she realized something. “I said I wanted to buy you dinner, but in the end, you were the one who
prepared all this.”
“It doesn’t matter. You owe me a meal, then.”
Xavier smiled. “I am the one who benefited from this.”
Olivia felt embarrassed. “I rarely eat out, so I don’t know which restaurants are good, so I asked you…
Only now did I realize this.”
“Pheebs, why do you care about such a trivial matter?”
Suddenly, Xavier looked at her and asked, “By the way, did you like thest little gift I sent you?”
“Oh, speaking of that.”
Olivia realized what he meant. She rumbled through her bag and took out the box. Then, she handed it
to Xavier. “Please take it back.”
“Why?”
“I don’t think I should ept it for no reason.”
“It’s cheap. It was only a few hundred bucks.” Xavier pushed the box back. “If you have to quarrel. with
me for something that cost only a few hundred bucks, I don’t think you consider me your
friend at all.”
He was cunning indeed.
It would be easier for her to reject it if it was a little more expensive.
“You know what? How about I design a ring for you sometime?”
Looking at his startled expression, she added with a smile. “Rest assured. It will certainly not be one
with diamonds on it. It’ll be a male ring.”

“Yes, of course.” With that, Xavier opened the box, took out the bracelet, and helped her put it on. This
is for safety. I hope you keep it on.”
