Jacqueline was stunned. She had thought it was ridiculous when Reginald told her about it. Sean had a prestigious background. He should have high standards.
The woman before her had a decent figure and nice skin, but her facial features were plain. The most important thing was that she had a child!
Was Sean insane? Or did this woman somehow brainwash him?
Jacqueline had thought that Olivia had some tricks up her sleeve. Things had already turned out like this before she could intervene.
"Sean, are… are you joking?" Jacqueline smiled awkwardly.
Olivia took Sean's arm and said gently, "Ms. Jacqueline, we're really in love with each other. He doesn't mind that I was married before, and I don't mind that his legs are crippled."
"Besides, Willow is a very well-mannered child and has a talent for music. I think she's a great kid." Sean patted Olivia's arm with a smile.
He looked at Jacqueline's shocked expression and asked, "Is there something wrong, Jacqueline?"
"I just feel like you're moving too fast. You've only known each other for such a short time. Marriage is a very serious thing. You…"
Sean smiled. "Jacqueline, don't you want me to be happy? Dr. Fordham was the one who helped me out of the slump I was in. Why are you unsatisfied?"
"I'm happy that you've found someone. I just thought you were still in love with Ginger."
"She has already passed on, but I'm still alive. It's time for me to move on."
Olivia nudged him. "Sean…"
"I get it. It's all in the past. I still have you guys."
Sean turned around and looked at Jacqueline. "We're tired from the trip. We'll go up to our room to rest. Thanks for coming to see me. Don't worry, I won't think about taking my own life ever again.
"I'll tell the others about me and Dr. Fordham too. I'll bring Dr. Fordham and Willow to the Fordham residence in a couple of days."
Olivia thought about how Jacqueline had a weird expression when she left. It didn't look like she was actually happy for Sean.
Instead, it seemed like she felt anxious because her plans were disrupted.
"Maybe she might surprise us."
Olivia wasn't that familiar with the other people of the Fordham family. She didn't have any bias toward them.
Willow had told her that there was a curse on Jacqueline. It was better to err on the side of caution.
"How?"
Olivia had a feeling that there was something wrong with Jacqueline, even if she wasn't the culprit. It seemed like her plan was a success. Jacqueline was starting to panic.
