Chapter 519

"Just like how it used to be, nothing special."

After a long silence, Olivia asked, "Dorothy Ellis?”

Zac seemed to get what she wanted to find out, and he said, "Liv, since you've chosen a new life, you shouldn't dwell on the past anymore. Listen to Ken and leave." Olivia knew that it would be pointless to talk about it either way, so she bit her lips. "Yeah. I will think about it."

"Oh, right. lan's results are great, and he can choose any school and major he wants. Do you have any schools or courses in mind that you want him to pick?"

After a quick thought, she shook her head. "Nope, he has his own life. Let him choose himself."

After saying that, she added, "But take care of him, and don't let him choose anything too out of the ordinary."

"Yeah, I will. Take care."

"Okay." Olivia pursed her lips. "I'll hang up now."

"Alright."

After hanging up, she sighed while holding the folder in her arms.

She definitely could not bring herself to run away while watching Ken take revenge on his own.

'But Ocean City... I don't want to go back either."

It was difficult to satisfy both sides, but she could not let go of either.

She could not reach a conclusion after contemplating for quite a while, so she put the folder back into the bag first. Suddenly, a car stopped by the roadside, and she saw some familiar narrow eyes upon the window rolling down. "Pheebs, get in."

Olivia wanted to reject the offer, but there were no other cars or taxis around so she nodded and got in.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, just settling some stuff."

"Where to? Home?"

"Yeah."

Along the way, Xavier did not ask her anything else. He continued to drive quietly.

Just as they were about to reach her house, Olivia suddenly asked, "Do you have time for a drink?"

Xavier was a little surprised, and he twitched his brows. "Of course, anything for you Pheebs. Even if I was lying in bed sick, I'd crawl up."

Hearing this, Olivia smiled helplessly. "Xavier, you being such a sweet talker is probably the reason why you're still single."

"Well, I thought that it's how I express my love."

"You sure?"

"This is from the bottom of my heart. I don't like to hide things."

After saying that, Xavier turned over and looked at her. "Pheebs, is this why you assume that I'm not reliable?"

Olivia shook her head. "Nope."

"Then will you give me a chance?"

"Xavier, another word of nonsense, and we will call the drink off."

"Huh? I'll shut up, then."

He immediately made a zipping gesture.

This made Olivia smile.

This man was indeed interesting.

Although he was sarcastic and did not seem reliable, he could always get her feeling relaxed.

She would always think about the past when she was with other people.

Only Xavier could make her see the present.

After the two went into the bar, Olivia ordered a mild cocktail, and Xavier got a glass of whiskey.

Seeing how she frowned while looking at the dance floor, Xavier went nearer and asked, "Is it too noisy out here? Do you want to go to the private room?" Olivia shook her head. "No, it's fine. It's lively here."

"Okay."

Olivia downed her drink and started feeling a little dizzy. At that moment, she thought of someone.

'Will Ken listen to him?

'He has been calling him brother, he probably will listen to him.

'But Zy's death is related to him. Won't it make things worse?

'Most importantly, how can I ask him?

'Won't it expose my identity?'

Suddenly, Xavier looked at her and asked, "Pheebs, the reason that you reject me... Is it because of your ex-husband?"
