Chapter 55
Brayden took Olivia to the hotel, ordered food for her, and said, "go take a bath.Food will be served soon.You'll feel warmer after eating something.”
Her body was freezing, and he couldn't bear to think how long she had stood outside.
Olivia shook her head.
"I'm fine.Go take a bath and have a good rest."
They would talk after he had a good rest.
"I'm Fine too.You go first."
Then he pushed her into the bathroom.
In his eyes, no one was more important than her.
Olivia stood in the bathroom, looking at her pale face in the mirror and turning on the faucet.
When she came out, Brayden was not in the room.
She checked the time and it was past five in the morning.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Mom, clean up the house.I'll pay the money back tomorrow.”
"Really?"
"Yes.I borrowed the money from a friend.The interest is fifty thousand a month."
"Fifty thousand?!"
"Yeah.I earn twenty thousand a month, so I can't give you money anymore.You will have to depend on yourselves henceforth."
"Well..."
"Ask dad to give me that man’s number.I'll go to him tomorrow."
"Okay! Good!"
Hanging up the phone, Elizabeth immediately went to George.
"Olivia has raised the money.She wants the number of the man you owe the money to!"
George couldn't believe it.
"She raised the money?"
"Yes! You won't die!"
George's face lit up with joy.
"Olivia is the best!"
"I doubt that.She borrowed the money from a friend and needs to pay fifty thousand a month as interest.Her salary is not enough to cover the interest!"
"Gosh.What should we do?"
"What should we do? How the hell do I know that? George, Olivia has no money for us anymore and Sydney is still studying abroad.If you go gambling again, I'll see you in the Civil Affairs Bureau!"
She could only rely on Sydney for the rest of her life.
She hoped that Sydney would find a rich man to let her live a good life.
Olivia quickly received the phone number from Elizabeth.
She saved it.
She wouldn't tell her family that she borrowed the five million from a friend without interest.
If she said so, the gap she had filled would crack again, even wider.
She couldn't let this happen again.
"Are you done?"
A familiar voice came.
Olivia turned around and Brayden came in with a bag.
"Where have you been?"
Brayden smiled and handed the bag to her.
"It's still early.Many stores are not open yet.It's the best I could get"
Olivia opened the bag and took out the contents. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
It was a white dress.
Olivia's heart gave a great bound.
Seeing her remain motionless, Brayden said with a smile, "Put it on.Hope it's the right size."
Olivia clenched the dress, swallowed, and bit back what she wanted to say.
She nodded and turned to the bathroom to change.
The door was knocked.
Brayden opened the door.
The waiter stood outside with the food.
"Sir, it's the food you ordered."
"Come in and put it on the table."
"Yes"
The waiter put the food on the table and left.
Olivia came out.
Brayden heard the sound and turned to look.
The white dress had no extra decorations or colors but looked graceful on her.
He smiled reassuringly.
"It's beautiful"
Olivia walked over.
"Senior, go take a shower and have a rest."
She was not a heartless person.She could feel his kindness to her.
"Okay."
"Here is the breakfast.You eat first.Don't wait for me."
Then he opened his suitcase, took his clothes and went to the bathroom.
Olivia looked at the closed door and clenched her hands.
When Brayden came out, the food on the table was not touched at all.
Olivia sat on the stool, waiting for him.
"Why don't you eat it?"
He came over and looked at the food on the table.
"Is it not to your liking?"
"No, I want to have breakfast with you."
Brayden smiled dotingly.
"Didn't I tell you not to wait up?"
Although he said that, he was happy that she was waiting for him.
The two of them ate breakfast.
Brayden asked Olivia to sleep on the bed for a while and he would do with the sofa.
Olivia didn't feel like sleeping, but when she lay on the bed with her eyes closed, she fell asleep soon.
Brayden opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief seeing the person on the bed finally fall asleep.
She had been on edge, he knew that.
Olivia didn't sleep for long.
She had a dream that Everett sat on the sofa, looking at her like a dictator.
He said, "I never fail in what I want to do.’’
She opened her eyes suddenly and clutched her chest.Her heart was thumping.
The memory of her miscarriage two years ago came back to her.
So, callously watching her get beaten to miscarriage was his way of showing her the consequences of defying him? Olivia squeezed her eyes shut and pursed her lips.
"Everett, I've never seen a man as ruthless as you," said she to herself.
