Olive forced herself to hold back the thoughts that were running through her mind, and the expression on her face still made it impossible to pick a single thing out.
“So what were you planning on doing when you asked me to come back to Turpin Village with you?”
“I don’t remember most of the things that happened in the orphanage when I was a kid, the only thing I have some vague memory of is that I had a friend who played very well, a little girl, her name, Olive!”
Olive’s expression finally changed, and her eyes were tinted with a hint of aversion.
“So, Mr. Lopez, what you’re saying is … you think I’m the Olive you knew when you were a kid, right?”
After looking back, Olive deliberately made a dawning look of realization.
Shane looked back at her and nodded seriously.
Olive pretended to ponder for half a second before continuing to answer.
“I did play with a little boy named Felton in the village when I was a child, but the time is too long ago, I’m not sure yet.”
Shane listened and looked at Olive and said very seriously.
“It’s okay, Olive, I believe you are my good friend Olive.”
The reason why Shane is so obsessed with finding his childhood playmate is not because he loves that girl or wants something, he just wants to find a real person to prove that his once was real.
Now, Olive appeared in front of him.
Although he has not yet confirmed, but at this moment he is very willing to believe in his heart, Olive is the Olive he has been looking for a long time!
Suddenly, Olive also did not expect Shane will be like this, do not know how to respond, can only not speak with silence instead.
The car they were in did not follow the route Olive expected, she thought it would go straight back to Turpin Village, but it did not.
The route was now going to the village where Olive’s house was located, so it seemed to be going to her house first and then to Turpin Village.
Olive would love to refuse this kind of thing, but refusing now would look like she was weak and scared to go home, so Olive had to lead Shane home with her before setting off for Turpin Village.
Although the car has been driving very slowly, but Olive is still tortured by the hours of mountain road to the place, dizzy on the way, get off the car stomach like a tumbling general, can not help but throw up, now her body weak, stomach is also empty.
Shane followed her out of the car, and seeing Olive’s discomfort, handed Olive a bottle of mineral water to rinse her mouth and clean it.
“You get carsick so easily, huh?”
Olive took it and poured a mouthful of water into her mouth.
“No, I’ve just been away from here for a while and haven’t walked the mountain roads, my body is a bit overwhelmed, let’s not delay and hurry up.”
But at the thought of going home and seeing Tatum’s woman’s face, Olive lost her motivation to go home, and especially didn’t want to see her face.
Shane continued to test the waters.
“Is it that you don’t want to go home?”
Olive of course wouldn’t fall for it, she didn’t want to come but she needed a perfect reason.
“I would never have come back here if I didn’t say you were coming, there would be no good memories here.”
Shane presumed that Olive would answer that way, from the beginning of the offer to come back to her home to visit a little to later determine to come home, but the woman is not a little positive, eyes full of disgust and revulsion.
Olive led the way, with Shane following behind.
“Look, that’s my house.”
Shane followed the direction of Olive’s finger and saw a bungalow.
In line with the information from the previous investigation, Olive’s family was not in a good condition, the villagers around had built new houses, some of them were even small two-storey buildings.
Two people walked on the road for another ten minutes or so, before detouring to the door of Olive’s house.
There was a middle-aged woman sitting at the door, picking vegetables in her hand, and at a glance she saw the two people who had come together, and her eyes went straight.
Randomly, she immediately changed her attitude.
“Why are you back, Olive, you stinky girl, lose money!”
Tatum is almost hating Olive, she will not forget what Olive did when she was leaving, that fire directly burned her favorite things, those bits and pieces are her heart and soul.
I didn’t expect to come back, with someone by his side, a handsome man, definitely not in good faith!
Olive was really speechless, Tatum’s emotions were too much too.
“Take it easy, Baker Mom, anger hurts your body.”
Olive hurriedly advised Tatum, who was about to get angry.
In fact, she had no intention to return, but she had to return today, if not to prove to Shane, she did not want to do so.
Tatum heard such words, more fire, Olive just a few days away from home, and already forget their own identity?
Just see this middle-aged woman picked up the dunnage handle placed at the door and tried to hit someone, just like adults hitting children when they were young.
“Just a few days out, and you dare to bring a man home, really grow up!”
The woman’s own eyes watched Olive, who was dressed like a looker, was out of her control and brought home a man who looked very rich, did she have a backer?
“Baker Mom, don’t be impulsive!”
Olive told her to calm down, or Tatum might perform a live rampage.
But Tatum doesn’t care who you bring home, and when she saw Olive, she even refuted her, and took a stick to hit Olive.
Shane really did not expect his daughter to come home the first mother to beat people, although said not biological; but this is too unbelievable, Olive is living in such an environment?
“Put it down! Stop it!”
Shane immediately spoke out to stop, although he did not say too much, but the body of the feeling of non-angry, but still shocked Tatum.
Tatum suddenly froze for a moment and reacted that this extraordinary man in front of him was defending Olive, that was even more angry, immediately wanted to swear.
“Who are you? You think that because you dress like a person, you can just meddle in the affairs of other people’s homes? If you want to come back for money, get out before it’s too late!”
Tatum is just an ordinary rural woman, she has no quality and upbringing at all, she has no idea that a random silk scarf from the man in front of her is enough to feed her for a month.
Olive was really helpless and hastily pulled Tatum who was about to go forward, fearing that she would make a strange move and hurt Shane.
“Baker Mom, don’t be impulsive, this is the boss of the city, Alieen all rely on the help of others, if you break them like this, Alieen will not be able to develop in the city.”
