Chapter 393

Valerie was still unaware of the identity of the elderly lady but she found her incredibly warm and approachable. The aura around Olivia was unmistakable, hinting she must be a striking beauty in her youth despite her current age.

Tim Valerie Warren,” she introduced herself.

“Valerie Warren…” Olivia found the name familiar.

Matthew was about to explain, but before he could, Louis’s irritating voice cut in. “Olivia, this is the Miss Warren I mentioned to you last time, remember that news…

Upon hearing this, Olivia was momentarily stunned. She thought, ‘I see. So, she is Valerie Warrent

Olivia had been curious about Valerie ever since Louis mentioned her and wanted to meet her in person. Unexpectedly, they met today. Olivia sized up Valerie. When she had seen her in the news, she had thought Valerie must have been through a lot, given her difficult circumstances, But looking at her now, with her natural beauty and elegant demeanor despite wearing ordinary clothes, Olivia couldn’t help but feel compassion. Olivia did not expect such a fine young woman to come from such a troubled background. Especially the familiar air about her… It reminded Olivia of someone, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

Her second son had searched almost the entire world and confirmed Sarah’s death. There was no need for her to dwell on those thoughts anymore.

s you

Indeed, Olivia exclaimed warmly. “You saved Max today. We owe you. Come, come closer, and let me have a good look at you!”

Olivia praised Valerie, Valerie felt a bit embarrassed but strangely found herself liking Olivia instantly. As Olivia took her hand, Valerie couldn’t shake the feeling of genuine warmth from her.

You’re about the same age as my grandchildren. Just call me Olivia, Olivia said warmly.

“Olivia… Valerie repeated softly

Olivia beamed with delight. You’re a good child!”

Louis stepped forward again, adding to the intrigue. “Valeric, there’s something you probably wouldn’t guess.”

“What is it?“Valen

Valerie asked curiously.

Louis said.” “Well, Olivia is a devoted listener of your audiobook account.”

Valerie was genuinely surprised. It had been a while since she had updated her audiobook account. Living with Matthew made it inconvenient, and her job kept her busy. The last time she logged on was after recording a session and replying to a few fans messages

Valerie remembered vaguely a reader with a white flower profile picture. She was sincere but with a touch of old–fashioned charm.

Testing the waters, Valerie looked at Olivia. “Are you Icy Plum

Olivia smiled and nodded, confirming that “ley Plum” was her online nickname.

Valerie was stunned. She never imagined meeting a real–life fan offline, let alone someone as distinguished as Olivia!

Valerie had heard about Olivia’s elegance and had hoped to meet her someday, but the difference in their social statuses had always made it seem unlikely. Yet, here they were, brought together by chance, with an unexpected connection.

On the sidelines, Owen and others were equally stunned. It wasn’t because they were surprised that Olivia knew Valerie. They were shocked that Olivia, who had been melancholic for days, suddenly displayed such a genuine smile. Unlike the forced smiles she put on when younger relatives visited, today she seemed truly happy.

This turn of events was certainly not part of his plan..
