"Hey, girl, you didn't go to kindergarten or my martial arts gym today. It turns out that you are wasting here with your capitalist father. Your life is getting better and better." Dave Chou's gaze swept across Olive. Although there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, the smile always made Olive Steele feel that it had some different meanings.
But she just smiled warmly, "Coincidentally, you are also eating here."
"He is the boss here, and we are getting advantage of him." Dave Chou raised his chin slightly to indicate the direction of Ivy Aldington, and put his hand on Xenia Boswell's slender waist.
Olive Steele was stunned for a moment. She didn't know that this restaurant was opened by Ivy Aldington, and Xenia Boswell was once fond of Ivy Aldington, she was with Dave Chou now?
It seemed that she missed something interesting.
Looking back on the year later, she and Ivy Aldington seemed to haven't contacted with each other very often.
She was busy with work and love, and he, unlike before, called her at intervals, as if there's a fault had occurred between them.
"It's your restaurant? Why didn't you tell me?" Yes, she didn't understand him very much. She didn't ask him, he didn't tell her, they were simply friends with each other.
"You are too busy, I can't find a chance to tell you that. This restaurant was opened after the new year." Ivy Aldington said indifferently, a little deliberately, but his gaze couldn't help but linger on her body, he hadn't seen her for a few days. Her face seemed to be rosier than ever, and the corners of her brows and eyes were filled with happiness, which stabbed his heart.
He had always hoped that she could live happily, but when one day, this kind of happiness was not given by him, he wanted to destroy it fiercely.
Valentine's Day was a sorrow he can't tell. He arranged a show for her that day. After the opening ceremony of the Health Center, he planned to bring her here.
He once confessed to her, but she said that she didn't know him too much. She was a careful and sensitive woman. She said, “The boss of the waiting bar must not be your only identity. If you don't tell me, I won't ask you more. Everyone has some secrets. You are not a simple man. And I just want to live simply and be friends with you simply."
In this way, she refused his determination to take care of her daughter and her.
He couldn't deny that some of the things he carried on his body were enough to ruin a five-year seemingly peaceful life. But for her, he was willing to let go of those hatreds and use the identity of Ivy Aldington to bid farewell to everything in the past.
However, on Valentine's Day, when he was about to confess everything to her, he couldn't find her. She didn't show up at the opening ceremony. Logically, Annie worshipped Dave as her teacher. She shouldn't be absent, and she was not the kind of impolite person. He couldn't get through her phone, she kept her phone shut down the whole day, and did not reply to the text message.
Ivy Aldington smiled lightly, "No matter how much I invested, I can't compare with you, Mr. Hoyle, am I right?"
"Mr. Aldington, you are so capable, I am ashamed." Although he said so, but Alan Hoyle had a leisurely appearance.
Olive Steele felt that their aura was at odds since they first met. Alan Hoyle always be jealous, she can understand it, but Ivy Aldington's gaze revealed something she can't say clearly. That kind of feeling was not jealous, but a hidden hatred.
Yes, hatred, although he's trying to hide it, it would still show up unconsciously, and it would flash past. If it was not for careful exploration, it would not be noticed at all.
This cognition made Olive Steele shocked, thinking about the matter with Alan Hoyle that Dave Chou told at McDonald that day, her heart sank suddenly.
Just as Olive Steele was thinking about these reasons, the conversation between Alan Hoyle and Ivy Aldington was sparking.
The two men looked at each other and Olive could feel that something gonna happen. But the smiles on the two men's faces never fell.
