Chapter 1127 A Familiar Man

Henry stood up and said, "Okay, you don't have to look for them if you don't want to. I just

wanted to tell you about this. I have his number here, and if you change your mind, you

can contact him. You can show him a fake necklace too; there's no saying you can't find

something from him. It's still a lead, isn't it? But this is just a suggestion of mine, and you

can decide whether you want to meet him or not. I…"

At his words, Olivia sensed that he was about to leave, but she had barely said anything to

him. Hence, she asked urgently, "How are you?"

Henry jolted at the sudden question before he slowly lowered himself back onto the couch.

"I'm doing quite well. Without Anna constantly kicking up a fuss, it's just me and Amy now.

Sometimes the kids will go to see Hugo for a few days, so things are pretty quiet."

"What about the company? How is it doing?"

Choosing to hide the bad news from her, Henry replied, "The company's all right. We got a

large order a few days ago, and it's enough to keep us busy for a while."

Hearing that, Olivia stood up and retrieved a card from her bag before handing it to him.

"There's 150 thousand in this card from my salary. I saved it for you to get something to

eat."

"No, no, I have enough money," Henry hurriedly refused her offer.

However, Olivia stuffed the card into his hand and said fiercely, "Just hold onto it. Did you

know that you've lost weight?"

At these words, she felt a lump in her throat. "Mom is going to say that I didn't take good

care of you."

Henry's eyes immediately turned red, and his hand trembled as he held the card.

"Olivia… I'm sorry."

Not wanting to burst into tears, Olivia quietly readjusted her breathing and said, "It's fine,

it's all in the past. In fact, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you and Mom, I would've

frozen to death in that hospital!"

"A-Are things going well with you and Eugene?" Henry probed tentatively.

Olivia nodded. "Yes, he treats me well. You don't have to worry about me."

"Good, good," Henry mumbled.

"Olivia, someone's looking for you outside." Sophia's voice sounded by the door, followed

by three knocks.

"I'm coming," Olivia replied.

Henry rose to his feet once more. "I'll get going, then. If you need anything… Just give me

a call."

Olivia nodded and said, "Same goes for you. Call me if you need anything."

Henry didn't reply, but he bobbed his head profusely as his heart warmed. Did Olivia

finally forgive him?

As Olivia looked at his slumped figure, she felt her eyes burn with tears as she was forced

to accept a cruel fact. He had gotten old, even more than when she had first returned.

Now, he seemed to even struggle with his gait.

She inhaled deeply and left the office with Henry. Immediately, she caught sight of the

unfamiliar man standing by the entrance. He was leaning slightly on the front desk and

exuded an air of nonchalance. When he saw her, a smile appeared on his face, but it was

a smile that was strangely filled with mischief.

Olivia merely nodded slightly at him, only returning to greet him after she saw Henry out.

"Nice to meet you, sir. Were you looking at me?"

The man stared at her and asked in an arrogant voice, "Are you Olivia? Eugene's woman?"

Olivia furrowed her brow instinctively. Not only was this man incredibly rude, but she also

had a strange feeling that she knew this man.

However, she still remained cautious and replied, "Yes, do you need anything?"

The man first looked at his surroundings before he asked carelessly, "Don't you make

custom designs here? I want to order one."

Olivia's frown eased at his words, but she didn't reply. Instead, she stared at him for a long

time with a sharp gaze.

The man crossed his arms and returned her stare without avoiding it. His gaze was bold

and flirtatious, while his smile turned even more mischievous.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything in a while, he spoke up again. "Miss Maxwell, you

keep staring at me. Did you fall for me?"

Hearing that, Olivia narrowed her eyes slightly. At the sound of his familiar voice and the

sight of his carefree attitude, she broke into a smile and reached out to pinch his ear.
