Chapter 472
After asking, Olivia did not wait for a response. She looked at John and said, “Mr. Freeman, if you are
not free…”
“I’m free.”
That answer left Olivia with no choice.
Frustration surged through her.
Inviting John to dinner was not what she had in mind.
However, he, as a stranger, had saved her twice. For courtesy’s sake, she should at least express her
gratitude, or else it would be obvious what was happening.
She had forgotten that man was not picky with choosing women at all.
She felt her heart ache.
Never did she expect herself to have such bad taste in men.
Noticing the expression on Olivia’s face, John realized she was unhappy about the offer and asked
casually, “Why do I have a feeling that you seem reluctant to invite me to dinner?”

Olivia pursed her lips, regained her composure, and smiled reluctantly. “No. I just didn’t expect you to
be free, Mr. Freeman. I was surprised.”
Fortunately, he did not ask further, but Olivia lost all interest in looking at the exhibits.
Finally, she ended her visit with just a simple stroll.
“Any favorite restaurants?”
It was Olivia’s first time in S City, and she had been put here forcefully. She had not made any tour
plans, let alone having any favorite restaurant in mind.
“No. I’m not familiar with this place.”
“Do you prefer Western food or Asian food?”
Olivia thought for a moment. “Western food. It’ll be easier to find.”
“Okay.”
John walked to the Maybach, opened the door, and protected her head gentlemanly. Then, he closed
the door for her.
However, the more careful and gentler he was, the more unhappy Olivia felt.
The feeling was somewhat indescribable.
She did not know whether it was anger, hate, or jealousy.
After what Olivia had been through, it was clear to her that she could not still love this man, but why did
she care?
They made small talk all the way to the restaurant.
It was mostly awkward.
Olivia regretted it deeply. Why did she have to invite him to dinner? She had brought this onto herself.
When they arrived, she got out of the car without waiting for John to open the door.
After looking around, she noticed it was a harbor.
It made her wonder what they were doing there. She even considered that John might be planning to
take her and throw her to some random island.
John glanced at her. “I thought you might be tired of eating Western food in restaurants, so I thought I’d
take you to try Western food on a cruise ship.”

“Really?” Olivia made up an excuse. “I have thalassophobia, and I’m afraid of the deep sea.”
John smiled. “Really. I swear I’m not lying.”
This man’s promises were nothing to Olivia anymore.
However, she was already there, so she had no choice but to follow him up the ship.
After ordering food, Olivia went to the deck to look at the distant scenery.
It was not quite dark yet, so she could still see the islands not far away. The sky was blue, the clouds
were white, and the trees were green.
“Ms. James, are you afraid of me?”
Olivia was shocked, and the beauty of the scenery before her shattered.
“Mr. Freeman, do you do this to every woman?”
John frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Sacrifice your life to rescue her, be a gentleman, and wait patiently.” Olivia looked at him.” Like this.”
John turned his head and looked into the distance. “Of course not.”
She was taken aback and felt an indescribable mixed feeling rising in her. After a long time, she asked,
“Is it because I look like your dead wife?”
