Chapter 506
Olivia’s breathing instinctively sped up, and she carefully placed the phone in Zac’s hand.
“Zac, you misunderstood. I-I don’t hate being alone with you, and I trust you.”
“Why?”
Over the past four years, even though the two of them had not been in the same city, their relationship
had not suffered much.
Occasionally, Zac would visit to keep her company, play with Lyla, and give her warmth and help.
Now, there seemed to be a wall between the two of them. It was as if they were strangers.
Olivia took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look at him. “Zac, I owe you so much. I’m
afraid I won’t be able to pay you back.”
There was a sudden silence in the car.
After a long time, Zac stretched out his hand and gently touched her forehead. He smiled lightly and

Olivia was taken aback and looked at him with some confusion.
“Olivia, how long have we known each other? When have I ever asked you to pay me back?”
Zac looked at her a little helplessly. “When I gave you money, you said you wanted to pay me back. I
didn’t bother arguing with you, so it was fine if you said you wanted to pay me back.
“I saved your life, so you said you would work for me, but why would I want you to do that?
“I run a law firm. You are neither a law graduate nor a lawyer, nor are you interested in law. Should I
ask you to clean the toilets?”
As he spoke, he sighed. “You always overthink. Is it because someone around you is slandering you
again?”
She was taken aback by what he said, so she stared at him blankly with wide eyes.
He opened the window, and the dull air in the car was let out, making Olivia feel more clear-
headed
“Who told you that people of the opposite sex cannot be friends? Who told you we had to exchange
favors if we want to be friends?”
Zac smiled softly at her. “Olivia, fate dictates if we can be friends. You’re always so coy. I worry that you
might offer your body to me as payback next time.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia blushed in embarrassment.
She almost came clean to him…
If Fred’s call did not break the tension just now, she would definitely have said it.
‘How embarrassing would it have been if I said it…’
It was all that jerk Ken’s fault. If he had not talked nonsense, she would not have overthought things.
“I-I just feel like I owe you a lot, and I’m afraid that I will be criticized and people will say that I’m taking
advantage of you.”
“Oh, who said that? Tell me, and I’ll kill them.”

“Don’t.” Olivia quickly waved her hand and explained. “No one said that. I’m just afraid.”
Zac let out a low laugh. He stroked her hair and helped her fix her clothes. “Okay. If you have time. to
overthink, you might as well think about where you want to go next so I can find a place for your in
advance lest you and Lyla move there and have to rent a house temporarily.”
“Actually…” Olivia pursed her lips. “I have to think again. After all, Lyla is so young, so I’m afraid she
won’t adapt well.”
“Well, yes. You think about it.”
After that, he asked again, “Did John bully you?”
Olivia shook her head. “He didn’t bully me. On the contrary, he saved me many times.”
“Oh? Really?”
“Yeah, otherwise I wouldn’t be speaking to him.”
Zac pretended to smile calmly. “You always have a say in your relationship with him. I just want you to
be safe, healthy, and happy. Do you know that?”
Olivia nodded in a daze. “Okay. I know what to do.”
Zac was relieved after seeing her calm down.
How could he not know what she was going to say? However, he did not want to hear her answer.
