Chapter 465
“I don’t like bad boys, Mr. Hemsworth.”
“Pheebs, could you just call me by my name? You addressing me as Mr. Hemsworth makes me feel
like we’re not close at all.”
Olivia chuckled lightly. “You’re my client. Of course we’re not close.”
Xavier’s face darkened slightly. He was slightly displeased. “Would you bring normal clients home?”
Since when had she brought him home?
Just when Olivia was at a loss for words, Fred walked out of the kitchen with dinner in his hands. When
he saw Olivia, he was instantly attentive.
“Liv, I heard someone threw a brick at you, then someone threw acid at you too! Are you okay?”
He put dinner down on the table, walked up to Olivia, and scanned his eyes all over her. After he was
sure that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wanted to come to get you in the afternoon, but Jennie said you were okay and that she had asked
the guards to increase their patrols, so I didn’t go. Why did someone come and throw acid at you in the
evening, then?”
Olivia sighed. “I think he’s Jenson’s accomplice. But the acid did not land on me.”

When Olivia thought about that person, her heart involuntarily tugged painfully. She pursed her lips and
brushed him off casually. “A passerby.”
Then, she went into the bathroom, turned on the water, and filled the basin with it. Right after that, she
plunged her head right into the water.
She held her breath till her head was muddy, then she pulled her head out instantly, wiped the water off
her face, and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Olivia, Olivia, did the four years of lessons not teach you enough?
He was just slightly bleeding, and you got so anxious?
Then, she took another deep breath and plunged her head into the water once more.
She hated John Freeman, but she hated herself more.
If she was slightly crueler four years ago and had not given Wes a heads-up, John would no longer be
alive.
If he died, she would probably not have to live so anxiously now.
However, she could not turn back time, so what use was regret?
“Mommy! Is Mommy back?”
Suddenly, a kiddish voice rang out and immediately pulled Olivia back to her senses. She pulled her
head out of the water, wiped her hair and face, calmed down, and opened the door.
As she walked out, she saw Lyla giggling in Xavier’s arms.
It really seemed like she really enjoyed Xavier’s company.
Was it because he was handsome?
Olivia shook her head and thought, “Handsome men are usually dangerous men, Lyla. Please don’t be
deceived by their looks.”
When she walked over to carry Lyla, she asked, “Are you heading back now, Mr. Hemsworth?”
“Are you chasing me out, Pheebs?”
“No…”
Xavier was a little sad. “I’m only here because I was worried for you, but now that I know that you’re
okay, I can be at peace. If you want me to go, I’ll go.”
Xavier got up, rubbed Lyla’s fluffy hair, and said, “Bye, little Lyla!”
Olivia was speechless. This man was too good at putting on an act. gam
For him to use retreating as a means for him to advance… It really made her feel bad.
After a short while, Olivia pursed her lips and said, “Err… If you don’t have dinner plans, you can leave

“Really?”
Xavier was already putting on his shoes by the door, but once he heard what Olivia had to say, he
immediately flung his shoes away and asked, “Are you for real?”
Olivia was completely speechless. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
That man had indeed planned it all out from the start.
When Fred came out of the kitchen once more to see that Xavier was still there, he was a little
displeased. “Why are you still here? We’re about to have our dinner soon.”
Xavier was no saint he plopped down on the chair. “I know. Pheebs invited me to stay for dinner.”
Invited?
Fred looked suspiciously at Olivia, but after seeing how helpless Olivia looked, he knew that what
Xavier said could not be further away from the truth.
However, Xavier had already started eating and was complimenting Fred. “This is not bad! I like this!
It’s been too long since I last ate home-cooked food. I miss this!”
Then, Xavier lifted his head, his pretty narrow eyes squinted further. “Pheebs, can I come over more
frequently from now on?”
