Chapter 598
“1…”
Zac hung his head low, not knowing how to explain.
He knew full well that he could only stay by her side as a friend.
However, how should he explain it now that his cover was exposed?
“I’m sorry.”
Zac froze and looked up at her in shock. “Why did you apologize? I should be the one apologizing for
not telling you.”
Olivia shook her head. “No, you’re wrong.”
“Liv…”
“Fred and Ken both mentioned this to me a while ago, saying you might.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia had trouble saying the word “Like” so she pressed her lips together. “I didn’t believe it and
wanted to ask you, but I was afraid we’d never be the same again if I did.”
She smiled bitterly as she spoke. “I was selfish. I didn’t want to ask nor think about it because you.
were the only friend I had left who accompanied me through those times.”
She looked at Zac and said, “Zac, you’re special and important to me. I don’t want to lose you.
“But I was selfish, only enjoying the care and benefits you bring. I never thought about you and even
got in the way of your marriage. I…”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Not wanting to see her blame herself like that again, he explained, “I remember I told you the reason I
don’t want to marry the Jameson family four years ago.”
Olivia froze and recalled carefully. He seemed to have mentioned it, but after what Jimmy just. said…
“I didn’t want to marry because I hated arranged marriages Secondly, I don’t like the Jameson family.
Thirdly, I didn’t want my dad to have his way.”
With that said, Zac sighed and looked up at the dim light as if remembering something that was a long
time ago.
“My mom and my dad had an arranged marriage. She fell in love with my dad after spending a long
time together. She’s gentle and understanding, so the marriage only trapped her.”
Speaking of which, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “And my father-that ungrateful cheater Jimmy
Quinton kept enjoying himself outside, forgetting he had a wife at home!
“He had so many affairs outside. Finally, his mistress came to my mother with a pregnant belly and
provoked her when I was 15. She was so mad she was sent to the hospital. That night…
Zac’s voice trembled slightly, and his hands shook as if it took all his strength to say the last few words.
“My mom committed suicide because she couldn’t bear it.”
‘Suicide?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia’s heart twitched. She understood that feeling.
When her father jumped to his death because of Dorothy, she thought the sky had fallen. She hid in her
room and cried for a week.
In her opinion, the only things a parent’s suicide left on their children were trauma and regret.
They regretted not taking good care of their parents and not doing something to prevent it.
Therefore, Mr. Larson’s death was a thorn in her heart to this day.
Her nose felt sore as she thought of these. She slowly hugged Zac and whispered, “Zac, stop thinking
about the past.”
It was the first time Zac had been so vulnerable in front of her.
She even felt like they were in the same boat.
“Zac, you have my support if you don’t want an arranged marriage. We shall see if we can get out.”
“Liv. Zac grabbed her shoulders, mustered up his courage, and said, “I have liked you since four years
ago.”
With that said, he let go of her and sighed to himself. “I wanted to keep it a secret for the rest of my life,
but my dad exposed me. I told you about my mom because I don’t want to burden you.
“I hope you won’t take it to heart. Can we still be friends like before?”
