Chapter 476
Surprisingly, it worked.
When Olivia imagined that scene, her breathing eased, and the fear in her partially dissipated.
Worried that she was not getting better, John held her hand tightly and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will
always be with you.”
Her tears rolled from her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.
Twenty-one years ago, he had brought her out of the darkness by saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Thus, she followed him until she finally married him.
However, six years ago, Dorothy appeared, destroyed everything they had, and turned this lovely
couple into enemies.
Now, Olivia had mixed feelings and could not believe her ears when she heard something like this in
such a situation.
She did not want to fall into the abyss of love again.
The six years of pain were enough to last a lifetime and make her desperately want to avoid John
forever.
However, why did he have to cling to her no matter where she was?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy would he not set her free?
It would be better if they stayed apart and as strangers.
John felt her body trembling and thought she was afraid. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Do you still
feel uneasy?”
“Mr. Freeman, why do you do this?” Olivia asked, holding back her tears and trying to control her voice.
“Huh?”
“Why do you want to save me? Why do you want to hound me? Am I a stand-in for wife?”
The elevator fell into silence.
The cold atmosphere shocked Olivia, and a chill ran down her spine.
Could it be that she should not have asked that?
After a long time, she said again, “Mr. Freeman, I…”
your late
“I’m sorry.”
This time, John interrupted her. His voice was hoarse and sounded guilty.
“I’m sorry.”
He apologized again.
Olivia froze. That proud John had learned how to apologize, which astonished Olivia.
“I did many things and wronged her, but I never had a chance to make it right before she
died.
“She wouldn’t see me. She wouldn’t listen to me. She wouldn’t speak of me before she died.”
He sighed. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “I guess she gave up on me, so she left me alone to live
with the pain.”
Olivia was shocked and felt her heart aching, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
“I wanted to make it up to her, but there was no chance. You, Ms. James, look just like her.”
John’s voice was hoarse and deep. “You are alike in every way, including your personality and your
attitude toward me. So, the more you want me to leave, the more I feel I should compensate you.”
He paused for a long time, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “I want to atone.”
‘Atone?”
Olivia looked in his direction.
She did not know why, but even though it was dark and she could see nothing, she could
feel John’s sorrow.
Did he regret that she was dead?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, why would John, who did not love her anymore, want to atone?
She did not believe it.
There was a long silence. Then, she suppressed her urge to cry and asked, “What did you do to her?”
“A lot.”
John was always a man of few words, but he was chatty today.
“We started with one misunderstanding and ended up with a million misunderstandings.” John pursed
his lips. “She thought I was cheating on her and in love with someone else.”
“Were you?”
“No. I have never touched or loved anyone else.”
‘Never?’
Olivia felt as though something had stabbed into her heart when she heard that.
Why did he refuse to admit it even until now?
Dorothy would not have conceived his child if he had never touched another woman.
If he had not loved Dorothy, Dorothy would not have had the chance to hurt her and her child again and
again.
“I knew it was unconvincing, so she didn’t believe me. There was nothing I could do.” Then, he asked,
with a hint of hope, “Do you believe it?”
