Chapter 224
But Richard put a hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her back into her seat. “Let's leave the saving to
Alexander,” he said and winked.
A smirk bloomed across Ava’s face. “I like your style.”
Richard took a picture of Olivia and Ethan, then sent it to Alexander with a message that was sure to get his
attention: “Look at these two lovebirds.”
Aiden and Ava looked over Richard's shoulder and shared a wide-eyed
look.
“Richard, do you think sending that video is the best idea?” she asked gently. “Don’t you think it’s just going to
piss Alexander off?”
But it was too late. Richard had already sent the video. “That's exactly what | want to happen? Do you want
Alexander and Olivia to finally get together or not?” But there was a nervous edge to his voice as he thought
about the repercussions he could receive from his boss.
The two siblings just stared at him, unsure what to say.
Alexander was pacing in his room, thinking about what happened between Olivia and him last night. Of course,
he had enjoyed every second of their tunder the moonlight. Well, except for the part where Olivia had asked
for money to spend the night with him. What the hell had that been about? She had only had one shot of
whiskey last night. What had gotten into her?
When his phone vibrated with a message, he took it out and read it quickly. When he saw the picture of Ethan
holding Olivia's hand, he

Alexander ripped open his hotel room door as his hands shook with anger. When he got to the elevator bank, he
jammed the button for the ground floor. After he rode three floors down, the doors opened and revealed a
teenage boy who was going to step in the selevator, but thought better of it when he saw the murderous
look on Alexander's face.
Back at the restaurant, Ava stood up again when she saw Ethan pull Olivia tightly against his body. Ava could tell
by her friend's uncomfortable face that she wanted to push her ex-husband away and slap him in the face for
manhandling her, but she knew Olivia didn’t want to make a big scene in this crowded restaurant.
But Ava wasn’t afraid of making a scene. Her palm twitched to slap the arrogant smile off of Ethan's face.
Before she could intervene, though, Richard put a hand on her arm. Ava looked back at him and narrowed her
eyes.
“I need to go help my friend,” she snapped.
“No,” Richard said calmly yet firmly. “This is a good way for Olivia and Alexander's relationship to progress. No
one is going to interfere.” He made prolonged eye contact with Ava and then looked over at Aiden, who was
halfway out of his seat, obviously planning to go over with his sister to act as backup. “You guys will have to get
throughfirst, and do | have to remind you that I'm a black belt in many different types of karafe?”

With no other choice-unless | wanted to make a big commotion in front of all these people-I sat down in the seat,
and Ethan sank into the chair right across from me. He kept a firm grip on my hand even as the hostess handed

“Awe you two make such a lovely couple,” the hostess said.
“Thank you,” Ethan murmured and smirked. “We're in Luceland to celebrate our ten year anniversary,” he lied.
“Today's the big day.” He looked atwith adoration. “I've never been more in love with her
