Olivia quickly replied, "I'm sorry. I was just making small talk."
Linus regained his composure. "I was being too sensitive. Forgive me."
Then, both of them fell silent. Olivia followed behind him. This man was so dense, even more than Ethan when she just got married to him.
He was also very stern, but he wasn't a bad person.
When they got out of the car, he even opened the door for her.
"The roads are slippery. Watch your step."
In his eyes, all women are frail.
Olivia nodded. She remained polite and distant.
Mason's face lit up with joy when he saw that Olivia had returned.
"Vanessa, you're finally back. You haven't even made the angel food cake you promised last time."
Olivia smiled. "I'll go make it now, then."
"There's no rush. You just came back. Take a break. Make me some tea."
"Okay."
Tatiana looked at Olivia. Mason had always been distant and cautious toward other people, but he treated her differently.
At first, she was also grateful that Olivia had saved Mason's life, but she started to feel like something was wrong.
Mason and Linus were too lenient with this woman of unknown origins. Mason was even reliant on her.
After Olivia was out of the room, Tatiana put down her teapot.
She gave Mason a look and said, "I think Krystal was right. She's just a doctor, but you're smiling so happily. It feels like you're under a spell."
Mason held her hand. "Honestly, the first time I saw her, I felt a sense of familiarity."
Tatiana felt her heart skip a beat. "I think you've grown senile. Why would you feel a sense of familiarity toward a stranger?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just a gut feeling, just like how Krystal just hates her. There's no reason for such feelings. Alright, since she's back, you have to rein Krystal in. Don't let her be so rude to Vanessa again."
Tatiana said unhappily, "Is a doctor more important than your daughter? So what if Krystal yells at her a little?"
"She did save my life. She has done our family a great service. Why are you as unreasonable as Krystal?"
Tatiana's expression changed. "I'm grateful to her, too. I just don't want you to treat our daughter worse because of an outsider. Her marriage is not even settled yet. Get the doctor out of your head. Have you been thinking about how to get Ethan to marry Krystal?"
