chapter3067 Chapter Flower Fields in Ireland
The drama was another record high in TV ratings and Olive had a new round of reforms when they were working, but since that day when they met in the apartment, Shane never appeared in Olive’s life again.
After receiving the Best New Director award for Hiding’s drama, Olive ended all her work in China.
She thought she might be the first time to get these awards for directing, but it might also be the last time to get this award.
After speaking her acceptance speech to all of her peers on stage, Olive carried her skirt to the back of the curtain, and while everyone was rejoicing she simply left the auditorium.
She leaned her back against the side of the airplane seat, and two lines of tears appeared in her eyes as she watched the ever-changing scenery.
Olive had lived inside the Srimery for two lifetimes, a place that had given her memories that the rest of the world could hardly hold, and she was now determined to let go and return everything to the dust.
Goodbye, Shane.
I’m sorry I ever loved you, I’m sorry I ever cheated on you …
Ireland was always a place with beautiful scenery, both greenery and flowers were cultivated quite successfully, even Olive’s lavender, which was always her favorite, grew in abundance here.
When she left, she took all her savings with her, and with most of the money she rented a larger farm in Ireland, where she kept a cabin and lived the most ordinary life.
All the things of the past disappeared into Olive’s life like clouds of smoke, and although it was only two years ago, Olive had forgotten most of it, as if it were a past life.
Everything about Srimery had been put behind her when she left two years ago, and all that had happened was just a dream that was both intoxicating and somewhat sad.
“Hi! Boss lady, do you need free labor here?!”
Olive was wearing a straw hat on her head and was watering the flower fields with a large tin bucket when she heard a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice from behind her.
She froze instantly as she moved, and the ladle landed in the bucket with a clunk.
Olive slowly forced herself to stand up, taking a deep breath before she barely pushed down the sourness in her nose, waiting for the emotions in her heart to calm down for the most part before she turned her head to look at Odell and spoke, “It’s really been a long time.”
She allowed herself even more of an indulgent laugh, trying to make the reunion of the two after two years seem as less sad as possible.
Odell’s eyes flashed with a hint of heartache, then he hid those emotions and opened his arms to Olive and said snidely, “I’ve traveled halfway across the world to see you, so why don’t you at least give me a hug when you meet an old friend?”
Olive didn’t pay any more attention to what Odell said, skimming his lips and carrying the bucket he walked to the side of the house.
“How come you’re free to come visit me? It’s far enough away from here.”
“Why have you become so cold, we’re old friends reunited, you should at least be polite to me.” Odell bristled, somewhat hurt, at Olive, and walked straight over to the Alanso house, pulling over a wicker chair and collapsing onto it.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“I’ve been flying for so long, naturally I came over to see how you’ve been doing lately, living alone is so lonely, do you need a boyfriend to help you out?”
Looking at Odell with one of those smiles on his face, Olive skimmed her head as much as she could to stop meeting his eyes, even though he hid it so well, the seriousness underneath his eyes was a little hard to ignore.
“Look at all the flowers I have with me, I’m having a hell of a time on my own.” Olive waved her hand and pointed to a large field of flowers outside and spoke to Odell.
It had become that awkward situation between the two of them again, and Olive couldn’t hold back any longer as she continued to speak indifferently to Odell: “Odell, after all this time, haven’t you let go?”
“There are a thousand good people in this world, and after a long time you’ll realize that I’m not worth such heartfelt treatment, and you’ll find that no liking will ever be the only one.”
“No! Olive, you’re wrong about that, in fact, I’ve tried to get you out of my mind every day since you left, but it’s just not something I can do!”
“I don’t care if I’m sleeping or walking, you’re the only thing that’s on my mind every day, that’s easy for you to say, so if you’re so good at it, teach me how to let it go!”
The more Odell spoke the more emotional he became, his eyes turned red and he was still staring at Olive.
Olive turned her head away and didn’t meet Odell’s eyes anymore, his eyes were too hot, the whole person was like a trapped beast, Olive was afraid that if she turned her head and met his eyes, she would be stabbed by those burning heat.
Whether it was selfishness or caution, this one true heart of hers was only so big, there was no room for a second person.
“You go away, don’t come back later, I just want to live my life quietly now, I don’t want anyone to be in the middle of my life.”
Odell’s arrival was like a key that unlocked Olive’s long dusty memories once again, not to mention those about the good things, just those painful memories instantly overwhelmed her.
She still remembers the scene when she was framed and put to death when she was in the country, she also remembers those hurt expressions on Shane’s face when she saw him for the last time that day, all the things even if they were like a walking light filled in Olive’s mind, and her whole being was already at the verge of breaking down.
“Live your life in peace and quiet? Olive have you not come to your senses by now? Are you going to keep pretending to be asleep?”
“Don’t think you can really forget everything at home once you’ve come to Ireland, do you? You’re dead in the water, there’s absolutely no way you can forget Shane! You’re just a shrinking violet, deliberately avoiding these things!”
Odell’s tone calmed down at the end of his words, he looked at Olive with helplessness in his eyes, and even his words had more than a little bit of hatred in them.
The tears that had been forcibly suppressed by Olive for two years, now finally couldn’t help but come out of their sockets, Odell, there is not a single word spoken today that is not true, no matter how one deliberately avoids, how one avoids, one can’t cover up those rambling thoughts about Shane.
She tended all the flowers and plants in the garden every day as if she were crazy, deliberately keeping herself busy and not stopping for a moment.
Olive’s heart knows very well that as long as she stops, her mind is all about Shane, and those thoughts are like a knife cutting the flesh of her heart.
