Chapter 479
John wanted to protest but was afraid to stop her from eating, so he had to hold the fork in his left hand to pick up the noodles in the bowl.
It was probably the most pathetic moment of his thirty years of life.
He failed to even eat a mouthful of pasta.
Meanwhile, Olivia had already put down her fork and was staring at him.
Their eyes met, and she compromised.
“Forget it. I’ll feed you.”
Then, she sat next to him, rolled the noodles with the fork, and sent it to his lips. “Ah! Open your mouth.”
John stared at her for several seconds before opening his mouth.
“A little wider.”
Seeing John not cooperating, Olivia frowned. “If you don’t cooperate, I’ll leave you to it.”
John had no choice but to open his mouth wide.
Olivia stuffed the noodles in. “Close, and chew.”
After eating a few mouthfuls, John realized something was wrong.
After swallowing the food, he asked, “You seem very skilled in feeding people food. Do you often feed others?”
“Well, but not human,” Olivia picked up a mouthful of noodles and shoved it into his mouth. “I’m used to doing it with a dog.”
“Cough…”
John was immediately choked.
Was this woman treating him like a dog?
“So, do you still want me to feed you?”
John glared at her. His brows furrowed. After a standoff, he nodded. “I’m hungry.”
“Okay. Open your mouth.”
He watched her as he ate the pasta.
He thought the woman’s mood had changed since she got off the elevator.
Olivia did not refuse. She nodded. “Okay. After all, Mrs. Freeman got injured because he saved me.”
By the time John healed, Olivia would be gone from his life, and she would have nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Wes stopped her. “Ms. James, did I tell you that my last name was Coulson?”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. She had blurted it out subconsciously.
After calming herself down, she smiled and said, “Don’t you remember you told me when you stopped me the last time and asked me to stand in for the deceased Mrs. Freeman?”
Wes Coulson was afraid John might hear this, and he did not question her further. “Maybe. I’ll leave Mr. Freeman to you then.”
After Olivia entered, Wes scratched his head.
He did not tell her that. When had he ever told her his last name?
Then he took a see-through bag from his pocket containing a hair.
It was lan’s hair, which he had specially asked the servant to send over.
He planned to send this strand of hair and the one he got from Phoebe to get a DNA test done. Two days later, he would be able to know if Phoebe was Mrs. Freeman.
Mr. Freeman had confirmed she was Olivia, yet she chose to deny it decisively. Therefore, Wes wanted to stop John from going in deeper and hurting himself more.
