Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman's Indifferent Sinner Wife

Chapter 862

While saying that, Kate held Olivia’s hand and said, ‘These few days you’ve been losing so much weight that you dropped a size, and you look so tired.

I really wanted to share your burden since you look so tired, but you won’t tell me, and I…”

Kate sighed. “Sigh, actually, I know why. It’s only normal that you’re wary of me. I was just thinking that since you saved my life, I know nothing I can do would be enough to repay you, so I was thinking of sharing some of your burdens and worries.”

Actually, Olivia really wanted to have someone she could lament to, just like how she did with Zy last time because she really had a lot in her heart that she was ready to say.

However, when she remembered what happened with Zy, Olivia bit her lips and shook her head. “I’m only busier because all of you were admitted. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry.”

She was afraid that Kate would become the next Jennie or the next Zy.

No matter which side of the spectrum it was, she could not handle either. Thus… it was better to not get too close from the start.

“Kate Lucas, I was just thinking… When you’re better, go home. It’s not safe here at Ocean City. Even though you may be safe here at the hospital, I won’t be able to protect you once you get out of this hospital.”

Olivia stood up and pursed her lips. “If you’re too close to me, Dorothy will not let you go. She can still do something to you. If you want to be safe, the best way is to get as far away as you can from me.”

“Rest well, I’ll visit Mrs. Wallace and the rest.”

When Olivia was at the door, Kate called out for her.

“Can I… call you… Pheebs?”

Kate asked carefully as she peeked her head out carefully with doleful eyes waiting for Olivia’s response.

Olivia was stunned before she chuckled. “Of course!”

‘Then…” Kate licked her lips. “Can you please call me Kate and not by my full name, Kate Lucas, please? You calling me by my full name makes me feel like you’re a stranger to me.”

With that, Olivia shook.

She was not sure if it was because Zyla and Kate were very similar in age, but when they talked, the hopefulness they emitted was exactly the same.

Seeing how Olivia had no response, Kate laughed awkwardly. “If you…”

“Kate,” Olivia interrupted her. “I’ve always wanted to call you just that, but I was afraid that you’d mind, so I didn’t.”

“Really?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Yeah, of course.”

Kate chuckled. “Pheebs, you gotta tell me everything from now on. Since I’m free, you can give me something to do.”

It was hard to turn down a favor, so Olivia nodded. “Sure!”

She had grown to be quite fond of Kate as she spent more time with her.

This girl was a simple-minded one that would speak her mind directly. However, it was precisely that reason that Olivia did not want her roped in.

The next day, when Olivia came to bring food for Mrs. Wallace and Kate, she left Sam with Ken and went to get some groceries, then went to the Larson’s Residence to look for Ian.

She knocked for a really long time, but no one opened the door for her.

Helplessly, she opened the door and went in. She placed the groceries down and surveyed around only to realize that Ian was not at home.

Could he be at school?

Since school had reopened, it was only expected that he was at school.

Olivia drove to school, but after asking Ian’s housemate and counselor, they told her that at orientation, Ian had requested a break and was nowhere to be found now.

Since Olivia was now Phoebe James, the counselor did not tell her more details.

“You didn’t inform his family that he requested to be absent?”

The counselor was quick to explain. “I did. I told Mr. Freeman, and he should be aware.”

John Freeman?

However, John did not come for her these few days.

Could it be that John got mad at her for not trusting him, so he deliberately did not tell her?
