Chapter 315
“Why are you here?”
Olivia was stunned for a moment before pushing John away. “Let go of me.”
John freed her, walked towards the bar area, and asked, “Anything I can do to help?”
Then, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started taking out the
vegetables from the bag.
“I’ll clean the prawns. What else needs cleaning?”
The scene that was playing out before Olivia shocked her to the core.
She had seen this side of John before, but it had been two years since then.
Back then, they would cook together.
He would hug her from behind, rest his head on her shoulders, and flirt with her in whispers, making her
lose focus as she cooked.
Now, it felt like it had been a lifetime since that. The thought left her dazed.
They had already gone their separate ways, so why was he playing the same role he used to play in the
past once more?
Was he trying to move her heart again?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo, she could not be fooled! She could not be tricked once more!
Olivia bit her lips, tried to suppress the emotions that had risen in her heart, and replied coldly, “John
Freeman, you don’t have to put on a show for lan like this.”
John ignored her. He put the cleaned prawns aside and started to chop up some vegetables.
“John Freeman.” She could not help but call out to him once more.
“I heard you.”
He turned to look at her with a slight pleading tone in his voice and said, “Can I have some vegetable
stew, please?”
Olivia looked at John, her heart aching so much that she could hardly breathe. After a long while, she
asked, “Why, John? Why are you acting like this now?”
There had been times she had begged for him to come home for dinner, but he could not have cared
less.
She had also begged several times for him to believe in her as she tried to save this broken marriage,
but he also refused to do so.
Later, she decided to go through with the divorce for his sake, but he did not agree to that as well.
After that, he started torturing her more and more, gnashing and tearing at her heart bit by bit until she
was wounded all over.
When she fell from the balcony, she finally lost all hope and was awakened.
She knew they really could not return to the past and that she really did hate him.
Her eyes were tear-filled as her heart was in stabbing pain, but all she did was look at John quietly.
She had already decided to let bygones be bygones, so why did her heart still hurt so much?
John’s voice was laced with a tad of patience. “Let’s have a quiet meal together and not fight today,
okay?”
Olivia felt suffocated with a weight on her chest and started coughing violently.
“Where’s your medicine?” The last time John saw her coughing violently was at the cemetery. He was
quick to pass her a glass of water.
Olivia did not take it. She turned and ran toward the toilet instead.
She twisted the tap open to wash the blood away from her hand and her mouth. Then, she propped
herself up against the sink and stared at her reflection, which was wan, sallow, and tired.
She really did not want to fight with John either.
However, she always got so easily lost in his gentleness, and that made her fearful.
Olivia was so afraid that all he was doing was taking advantage of the calm before the storm. He was

There were some truths that were too much for her to bear.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Are you okay, Liv? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
With that, Olivia lost control of her tears as they rolled down her cheeks.
However, she washed her face once more so John would not be suspicious. Then, she opened the door
and answered faintly, “I’m fine.”
John was still a little concerned. He followed her and asked, “Why is your pneumonia still not better?”
Olivia paused in her tracks, her heart knitted together in tight knots.
He really thought up till now that all she had was pneumonia.
“It’s not that easy for pneumonia to completely go away. Don’t you know that pneumonia can become
lung cancer if it gets really severe?”
John, who was behind her, was stunned for a while. Then, he hugged her from behind and said, “Yours
will never become lung cancer.”
Olivia snickered mockingly in her heart. This man was always so arrogant, and it was hilarious.
However, she did not plan to correct him, since it was not like she had not told him
the truth.
It was just that he never believed her, right?
