Chapter 508
Not long after, Fred parked the car in front of the coffee shop before Olivia could even finish her coffee.
By the time she realized it, he was already standing beside her.
“Liv.”
Olivia looked up. When she spotted this person whom she had not seen in a long time, a lump rose into her throat, and she stood up to hug him.
“Fred, I’m finally back.”
“Liv, you’ve lost weight.”
While speaking, she smelled a familiar scent on him.
It was not the smell of perfume, but a refreshing smell unique to cheerful boys. It was completely
different from John’s mature scent which was laced with the smell of tobacco.
“Maybe I’m not used to the food over there.”
Fred chuckled “Don’t worry, I bought ingredients for your favorite dish, and I will cook it for you. later”
She let go of him and asked with a smile, “You still want to cook at this late hour?”
“Of course! It’s to welcome you back, so it has to be grand.”
“Okay, it’s up to you. Let’s go home.”
Fred pulled her luggage and nodded. “Okay.”
Suddenly, he stared at her for a while. “Liv, are you sick? Why do you look so pale?”
Olivia panicked for a moment. She raised her hand to touch her cheek and said with a smile, “Am I? Maybe because I just got off the plane, so I’m a little tired.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” She pushed Fred out of the shop. “Come on. I want to see Lyla as soon as I can.”
Upon hearing what she said, he did not think much about it. He dragged the luggage with one hand and held Olivia’s hand with the other.
As they walked to the side of the car, Olivia went straight to the passenger’s seat while Fred went to put the luggage in the trunk.
Everything was in place. When Fred was about to drive, Olivia suddenly heard a childish voice.” Mommy.”
“How is the atelier?”
“It’s fine. We’ll talk details in a bit.”
“Alright.”
Olivia turned her head, sat up straight, and looked forward. She cracked her neck and was startled when she suddenly saw a figure in the rearview mirror.
She looked back again, only to realize that another person was sitting behind her.
“Xavier? Why are you here?”
Xavier looked sad and sighed. “Pheebs, you have been talking while looking at the backseat for so long, yet you haven’t noticed me? How sad.”
Olivia looked at Fred and asked, “Why is he here? I decided to come back at the last minute, yet you could notify so many people?”
Fred looked innocent. “It’s not my fault. If you want to blame someone, you can blame Jennie. She’s the one who did this.”
She turned and saw Jennie smiling embarrassingly. “It was an accident. Besides, it won’t hurt for another person to tag along, right?”
Olivia glanced at the two and sat up straight. “Fred, take Mr. Hemsworth home first.”
