Olivia stood face to face to Lucas. Owen was standing not far away and he was staring at both of them with alert. He would not let that man have anything to do with Olivia again! The reason Olivia came all the way back from a foreign country was to talk to Lucas. Yet when she faced him, it turned out she could not say a thing.
“You…”
“You…”
Both of them spoke and stopped at the same time. After a while, Olivia took the initiative to speak, “I’m so sorry to involve you in this trouble again.” Lucas immediately shook his head. “No, you didn’t…” It was exactly a surprise to see her again. Not to mention he was the reason everything happened. Lance was coming for him. Olivia hesitated for a while and braced herself to speak, “Lucas.”
“You know what? I never thought that I’ll live.” There were tears in her eyes as she stared at Lucas. That kind of past would still make her sad whenever she thought about it now. Not everyone had the courage to wait for death’s arrival on the bed every day. Lucas controlled his feeling and stared at her with a sincere and innocent look. He could see her every single facial expression.
“But I did. I love this world, I love Janet, I love dad and Owen, and also…you.” Although she felt slightly embarrassed when she said that, those were her true thoughts. She understood that feeling, the feeling of waiting for death everyday in despair, but living over and over again. “Lucas, I know I’m bad, I always do things the way I want. But this time, pretend that I’m begging you, give me a word, even if it’s to crush my hope.”
Her eyes gleamed and she fixed his eyes on him with a stubborn look. “Tell me, do you love me?” Olivia could hear her heart thumping fiercely. It was Lucas who gave her hope. Lucas was already startled. He knew Olivia loved him, yet he never thought that after suffering so much, she would still confess to him without hesitation. He should be the one who did that.
Without caring who was around, he jerked her into his arms and muttered with hoarse voice, “I do, I love you, I love you very much…” He loved her so deeply that he was willing to give everything up. He held her so tightly that he nearly made her suffocated.
“What, are, you, doing!” Yet Owen walked towards them with his teeth gritted at that moment. He dragged Olivia to his back and glared at Lucas with rage. “You despicable bastard!” Lucas tossed his hands apart and let out a wry smile. He would have argued with him endlessly before as he never gave in to anybody, yet he would not do that now. He had had a weakness, and he would do everything for Olivia. He had learnt to give in.
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Olivia was immersed in excitement. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lucas. Yet the peaceful and sweet aura between them still pissed Owen off. He shoved Olivia into his car with rage, opened the car door and entered the car, driving the car and left.
Olivia leaned against the car door and looked outside, her eyes coincidentally met Lucas’s anxious eyes. She let out a smile. Could she now imagine her future life with him now? If there was really one?
