Reborn Wife

Chapter 73: Stay at the Villa 

Olivia was stunned.

‘Did I step on some kind of mechanism?’ she thought. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, the wall painting hanging on the horizontal pillar suddenly moved! An arrow pierced through the air and aimed straight at her head! This sudden movement came too quickly.

Olivia was completely unprepared and was directly stunned! When she attempted to step back, it was already too late! Olivia's face turned pale! However, in this critical moment, a huge force came from behind, and she suddenly fell into a warm chest.

Everything became a blur, but the anticipated pain did not come.

She opened her eyes and saw that she had fallen to the ground, while Bruce was pressed beneath her.

As for the arrow that almost killed her, it pierced through the wall and nailed itself to the spot where she had just stood.

The tail of the arrow was still buzzing.

What just happened was shockingly similar to an incident a long time ago.

Olivia suddenly had a flashback when she was standing ten kilometers away and was almost injured by arrows!

"Bruce you bastard! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to provoke me? Are you trying to kill me with this kind of mechanism?"

Olivia was so scared that she almost cried out.

First, she didn't randomly barge into the host's room, and second, she didn't move around.

She just watched the scenery in the hall.

‘’Who would have thought that I, who obediently abide by etiquette as a guest would almost lose my life!’’ she thought.

Bruce did not expect such a thing to happen.

In fact, there were many hidden mechanisms in his villa, especially on the second and third floors.

Normally, when the servants came up, they would stay in the designated area.

Apart from that, the first person to arrive was the girl with a displeased expression on her face.

Bruce, who felt a rare sense of regret in his usually cold heart said, "Sorry, I forgot to remind you before.."

Olivia felt even more aggrieved and complained with red eyes, "Is it still my fault for you to say that?"

For the first time, Bruce felt that it was a little tricky.

"That's not what I meant’’ Olivia sniffed, "Forget it, it's my bad luck today.’’

Her voice carried a strong nasal sound, and it sounded much softer and more adorable than before when she was pretending to be mature.

After saying that, Olivia prepared to stand up, and only then did he react. She was still lying on top of Bruce's body...

Just now, in an attempt to save her, he quickly pulled her away, but because they did not move for a long time both of them fell.

Apart from that, Bruce's claw-like hand was still at her waist...

Olivia panicked and quickly got up.

Then, she kept her distance and took a few steps back.

Nothing else, she was worried that her true identity would be revealed.

After all, her current appearance was a mess.

Just now, she had been in such close contact with her emotions that she wondered if Bruce had noticed anything.

Olivia was very confident in her disguise.

She could easily deceive everyone, but she didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Bruce.

This man was much sharper than she had imagined.

After Olivia got up, she secretly sized up her face with her reflection on the window glass.

Fortunately, everything was in place.

She was secretly relieved.

However, she ignored the man standing there, smelling his faint fragrance at the tip of her nose.

His pitch-black starry eyes glowed with a hint of curiosity and thoughtfulness...

To avoid embarrassment, Olivia simply said, "I'm going to see the child’’ he slipped away very quickly.

In short, she didn't dare run around anymore.

She was afraid that with her incredible luck, she would accidentally kick a mechanism! Bruce went downstairs.

Downstairs, Averie was still sitting on the sofa.

This woman, who was less than forty years old, had a very good bearing.

Even after sitting for a long time, her back still remained upright and unrestrained.

Many rich wives could not compare with her in terms of bearing.

Seeing him come down, Galen asked, "What do you say? Will Philip be okay?"

"Yes"

Bruce nodded and addressed Averie, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you two to stay here for a while.’’

Saving someone wasn't an overnight task, especially in a situation like Philip's.

There wouldn't be any problems if they stayed.

Averie said, "I won't stay.I have other matters to attend to.I will come to pick up my boss in a few days."

"Sure."

Just like that, without Olivia's knowledge, an arrangement had been made for her to stay.

Averie left without worrying about her boss's well-being.

When Olivia found out from Bruce, it was two hours later after she carefully removed all the silver needles and examined Philip's body.

The reason why Averie agreed so easily was because she didn't know that she knew Bruce at all!

‘‘What if he discovered her true identity?’’ So Olivia found an excuse to refuse, "It's not convenient for me to stay here.There are so many systems here, what if I accidentally get hit again?"

Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, "All the systems have been shut down.You are free to run about and relax."

"That's not convenient.I didn't bring anything with me.It's inappropriate!" she said.

"I'll have all the servants prepare the things you need” Bruce answered.

Olivia's excuses were all rejected one by one, leaving her with little choice except to stay in King’s View Bay.

The room the servant arranged for her was just next to the master's bedroom.

As far as she could see, the closet was stuffed with all kinds of clothes and shoes.

These were all sent on the spur of the moment an hour ago.

All of them were high-end and custom-made women's clothing.

They were the latest trends that had yet to be released on the market and their prices would surely stunned everyone! Olivia was somewhat taken aback.

She's only staying for a few days.

‘’Why is Bruce acting like I am going to stay here for a long time?’’ Olivia mused.

She could only say that the boss was extravagant, but she really couldn't imagine that he would go this far.

Lunch was also prepared by the top chefs of the royal family.

The dishes were diverse and tasty.

Olivia wasn't that fond of food, in fact she rarely had an appetite for it.

During this period of time, although she and Bruce were at the same table, they sat far away from each other, and they didn't talk much, following the etiquette of not saying anything during a meal.

After Olivia finished her meal, she discreetly looked at Bruce.

He was sitting at the other end of the dining table, his lounging posture was calm.

‘‘Ah, that handsome and impeccable face.The more I look at him, the more I can't help but be fascinated with his mysterious character” Olivia thought.

Perhaps sensing her dazed gaze, Bruce suddenly raised his head.

The pair of dark and unfathomable eyes had no expression, only a definite coldness that could not be dissipated.

There was even a hint of disgust in those eyes.

Rumor has it that the Tucker men were not close to women, but Olivia did not believe it before.

Bruce's occasional provocative actions, which she knew, had changed her cold impression of him.

But now that he hated it, Olivia finally understood a bit.

‘If one day, he discovered that the person he disliked and protected were the same, I wonder what kind of expression he would have?’ Olivia secretly laughed but her expression was polite and distant.

"I've finished eating.Mr.Tucker, please enjoy your meal”

Then she went back to the guest room.

Olivia refused to be attached to her own bed so she slept soundly everywhere she went.

Fortunately, the mask on her face was as thin as a cicada's wing, so it was fine not to take it off for a few days.

Jumping on the big bed, Olivia hugged her pillow and fell asleep.

Bruce, who was downstairs, answered the phone and asked, "Did you find out?"
