Chapter 7 Not Afraid of Misunderstanding

Olivia thought, ‘He's just a cheating man, what's there to miss about him?’ She really wanted to slap herself awake. Olivia wiped her face and was about to leave when she bumped into someone. Alex closed the door. He held the back of Olivia’s head with his large hand and leaned down to kiss her lips. The towering figure of Alex pressed over, the familiar scent causing an uneasy feeling to well up in Olivia's heart. She looked up at Alex in panic and whispered, "Mr. Tres, we are still in the Hall family." Desire was evident in Alex's eyes, he licked his lips and displayed a domineering vibe, Seeing her expression, Olivia instinctively backed away. Alex looked at her and asked, "Olivia, why do you look sad?" Olivia remained silent. She wiped her face and felt liquid, unable to tell if it was tears or just water from washing her face. "No," Olivia said directly. Alex pulled Olivia into his arms, his warm breath spreading over her face, "Are you sad to see the man you love marrying another woman?” His voice was low and indifferent. Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Olivia's eyes, she tightly pursed her lips and remained silent. Alex lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips, then deepened the kiss. It wasn't until Olivia was almost out of breath that Alex let her go. Gasping for air like a fish out of water, Olivia breathed heavily. Alex straightened his clothes slightly and said to Olivia, "Let's go, the Hall family is still waiting." Olivia heaved a long sigh and said cautiously, "You go out first, I'll come out later." She didn't want to go out with Alex because she wanted to avoid the possibility of anyone suspecting them of anything. ***** In the living room, everyone had smiles on their faces while chatting about the engagement of Rosa and Oliver. Olivia came out of the bathroom. When she saw the smiles on everyone's faces, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She paused for a moment before going upstairs to pack her stuff. Then she went downstairs with a backpack. In truth, there wasn't much in the Hall family that belonged to her anymore. She only took her mother's photos. Olivia walked to Toby in the hall and said, "Dad, I won't come back anymore. I will no longer affiliate with the Hall family from now on." Olivia's voice was resolute. Upon hearing this, Toby's face immediately twisted. He didn't expect that Olivia would show such disrespect to him in front of Alex. Toby said, "Olivia, sit down. Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?" "No, I'm just telling you that from today on, I will not be associated with the Hall family." Olivia hammered each word into Toby's heart. A stubborn look appeared on her face. Upon hearing this, Alex looked at Olivia with a mysterious expression. He thought, ‘Did he pretend to act vulnerable in front of me before?’ Toby hurriedly explained, "Mr. Tres, please forgive me for the embarrassment. Some time ago, I cut off her mother's medical expenses and her tuition fees, so she's throwing a tantrum here." As Toby spoke, he glared fiercely at Olivia. Olivia knew that if looks could kill, she would probably be dead by now. Suddenly, Alex spoke up, "Olivia is a good girl. Mr. Hall, isn’t what you did a bit too much?” Upon hearing this, Toby was taken aback. He remembered that Alex wasn't one to meddle in other people's affairs, but he didn't expect him to take this matter to heart. He quickly explained, "Mr. Tres, it's not like that. I just wanted her to apologize for her mistake, but this child is too stubborn to back down." Alex's face softened with indulgence as he looked at Olivia. It turned out that her father didn't really like her. ***** "Olivia, I know I took your boyfriend, and I'm sorry about that, but today is a happy day for me and Oliver. Are you deliberately trying to upset me?" Rosa looked pitiful. “I never wanted to come back, you guys made me. I won't come back again," Olivia said angrily. Then she turned around to leave. Oliver reached out to stop her. "Olivia, stay for dinner, I have something to say to you." Olivia pushed his hand away. "Let go, there's nothing to discuss between us." Alex said with a mysterious look, "Miss Olivia, it's not proper to leave without eating.” Olivia paused and did not insist on leaving again. Toby looked at Olivia with resentment in his eyes. ***** To show their respect, the Hall family booked the best restaurant in Kingsley to entertain Alex. "Let's go to the restaurant first," Toby said while gesturing to Alex. Alex didn't hesitate and walked out directly. As they were about to leave, Oliver said to Olivia, "Olivia, why don't you ride with us?" Upon hearing this, Rosa instantly became unhappy, secretly pinching Oliver. Ted walked up to Olivia and said, "Olivia, why don't you ride with me? I'll take you there." Olivia ignored him and went straight to Alex's car. Everyone was taken aback. "Are they close?" Rosa asked Oliver with undisguised anger. Oliver pondered for a moment. "They shouldn't be." He looked at Alex's car with confusion. He thought that perhaps Olivia just didn't want to ride in their car and didn't think much of it. ***** Alex looked back at Olivia. "You're quite bold to get into my car. Aren't you afraid that they will have a misunderstanding?" "I'm not afraid," Olivia replied calmly. She had already severed ties with the Hall family. Whatever she did from now on, it had nothing to do with them. ***** Upon hearing this, Alex smirked slightly. The car soon arrived at the hotel. Alex got out of the car and walked around to the back to open the door for Olivia. Olivia stepped out of the car and thanked Alex softly, "Thank you, Mr. Tres." Rosaen watched from a distance and was consumed with jealousy. She thought, ‘How is this bitch, Olivia, worthy of Mr. Tres opening the door for her?’ After getting out of the car, Olivia followed behind Alex, about to head towards the lobby. "Olivia, wait a moment," Oliver suddenly called out. Olivia paused. "What's the matter?" She was just thinking about clearing up things between them, so she waited for Oliver. Oliver explained the situation, mainly blaming Olivia for not letting him touch her, which led to their breakup. Olivia was exasperated. She thought, ‘How stupid was I to like this piece of crap?’ She cut in, "Oliver, we are not dating anymore. There's no need to bring up the past."
