Chapter 26 Caught
“About two hours,” the salesperson replied.
Ben looked at his watch. “That won’t work. I have things to do later. Can you talk with that lady and see
if she can let us buy the car first? We can compensate her for it.”
The salesperson went back to Olivia to pass on the message.
As expected, she declined. She was buying a car to pick up someone and waiting another two hours
would have defeated the purpose of it.
When the bargaining failed, Ben held the woman in his arms and comforted, “Sweetheart, why don’t we
buy it together when I come back next time?”
She pouted. “You’ll be away for a week this time.”
He coaxed, “What can we do? I have to work so I can marry you! Here; let’s do this. I’ll pay for it first,
and you can call a friend over to wait with you for the car to arrive. How’s that?”
She whined, “But I want to send you off too.”

to drive it today.”
The woman looked happy again and teased, “Then don’t say I don’t love you later!”
He coddled her. “Okay, you naughty!”
They did not speak quietly. Hence, Olivia heard everything they said. He does not look very likable, but
he’s pretty skilled at coaxing a woman.
Olivia did not concern herself with them any further and followed behind the salesperson to pay.
The salesperson quickly settled the transaction.
4S Shop was quite efficient. By two in the afternoon, she was driving her new car out.
First, she went to get Kate, then the two of them made their way to the airport. After rushing all the way
there, they were able to make it before three.
When the car stopped, Kate had gone pale with fear. “Olivia, can you please go a bit slower? Do you
think you’re on a racetrack? There are cars everywhere here.”
Olivia looked at her with a baffled look. “You’re just too timid. Look at the time. Nathan will be out soon.”
Kate supported herself against the car as she got down with quivering legs. “Let him wait when he
comes out later. It’s not worth wasting our lives for him. He was only gone for a few days and now he’s
back again.”
Olivia shot a glance at her. “I told you not to come but you insisted on coming.”
Kate snorted. “Did you think I came to pick him up? I came to give him a good earful.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s go in and give him an earful now,” Olivia said as she pulled her along.
They went into the main hall of the airport and waited. Time continued to tick by and it was already past
three. They only found out later that the flight was delayed.
Kate looked at her. “I told you we didn’t have to rush. When has Nathan ever been reliable? Look; even
the flight he’s on isn’t reliable!”
“Both of you are like water and fire—born to be in complete opposition of each other!”
After that, they went to the restroom. Just as Olivia came out, she saw a familiar face—Anna.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe frowned. Who is she here for?
While she was racking her brain, she saw another familiar figure enter her line of vision. It was familiar
because she had just seen him a few hours ago.
It was the man she met at 4S Shop—Ben Roberts.
He had not even changed out of his clothes from before, but he had a suitcase in his hand now and he
walked straight to Anna when he saw her.
“Sweetheart!”
Olivia was bewildered. It was ‘sweetheart’ again. If she remembered correctly, just a few hours ago, he
was calling that woman sweetheart too. Didn’t they say they were going to get married? No wonder
he’s so good at coaxing; he’s a scumbag!
She knew just by the infatuated look in Anna’s eyes. If Anna claimed that she had nothing to do with
this man, then Olivia’s name was not Olivia Maxwell.
She sneakily took a few steps back and pulled out her phone. Calmly, she started to take a video of
them.
However, what she saw next completely destroyed her worldview.
