Brian was suddenly unable to walk away. He sat down and quietly looked at the woman on the bed.
Was this her dependence on him?
“Olivia, I’d like to see what you’re up to.”
Brian smiled teasingly. The woman’s fingers moved, and her eyes opened. She saw herself holding Brian’s arm, and her face was filled with disbelief.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. Please don’t take it to heart.” Her voice was timid as if she was afraid of the man in front of her.
Brian was a little unhappy and suddenly felt interested in teasing her. “What? What should I not take to heart? Is it your reluctance at the wedding? Or the fact that you are holding my hand now?”
A trace of anger flashed across Olivia’s eyes at the mention of the wedding.
If he had not escaped from the wedding venue today, she would not have ended up in such a sorry state. Resentment burned in her heart, and she became slightly cold toward the man in front of her.
“Mr. Brian Ford, please don’t be narcissistic. You said I was unwilling at the wedding, but weren’t you even more unwilling? As for why I’m holding your hand now, this makes us even, at least.”
Olivia looked straight into Brian’s eyes without the slightest bit of fear. After the suffering in her previous life, her heart had long turned cold. No matter what happened, her only wish was to protect the child in her womb.
Olivia turned her head to the side and prepared to sleep. She didn’t want to care about the man’s expression or thoughts at all. None of that had anything to do with her. She started to think about how to get back what belonged to her and how she should proceed from here.
Brian was angered by her. She really did not know what was good for her. If not for the fact that she was pregnant with his child, he would really want to throw her into the ocean to feed the sharks. Who gave her the courage to speak to him like that?
There were so many women in New York City who wanted to marry him, and he was the dream lover of so many women. Why was he worthless in her eyes?
“You said it yourself. What you need to do now is to give birth to my child. After that, we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”
Brian’s words were cold and emotionless. There was no special expression on his face. However, Olivia was not frightened by his words. Instead, she felt relieved.
Given the current situation, staying here was also a good idea. At least, no one wanted to hurt her and the child. After giving birth to Mia, she would find an opportunity to sneak away.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave. I want to rest now.”
It was obvious that she was chasing him away, but the man could not say anything.
At that moment, Grandpa James walked in and saw the two of them. He raised his hand and gave Brian a slap.
“Seems like I’ve spoiled you all these years. Look at yourself today. Is this what a man should do? Who are you to make your woman cry?”
The force of the slap was so strong that Brian almost stumbled and fell. This was the first time his grandfather had slapped him since he was young. He did not expect it to be because of this woman. Naturally, the displeasure in his heart grew stronger.
He left the villa without looking back in his anger. Grandpa James shook his head helplessly. As the child grew older, his personality also changed.
“Girl, don’t take it to heart. He’s just this kind of person. He looks cold on the surface, but his heart is actually warm. He’s a classic example of having a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don’t be calculative with him and give in to him more.”
After leaving the villa, Brian went to the bar, Nightlife, and saw his good friends. They were all stunned. Wasn’t today his wedding day?
“I didn’t expect you to get married. You seem to be a celibate, and we all feel that you’re not interested in women. This is a little unexpected.”
“That’s right. We’re all very surprised, but the strangest thing is, why are you still out today?”
“What’s wrong with you? You left your bride at home today and came out to drink with us.”
“That’s right, aren’t you afraid that the bride will run away with someone else? Brian, aren’t you being too careless?”
A few similarly wealthy men were teasing Brian. Clearly, they did not know that he had run away from the wedding today. The few of them laughed out loud simultaneously and started toasting the man with the wine in their hands.
Brian’s eyes were cold, and he did not say anything. He just quietly raised the glass of red wine in his hand and slowly tasted it. His mind was filled with images of that woman as if he had been poisoned. This made him even more frustrated.
He picked a beautiful woman with a sexy figure and brought her back to his house.
Although he hated it when beautiful women touched him, he suppressed his disgust when he thought of his plan.
At the entrance of the villa, the two of them started to kiss passionately. As they kissed all the way into the villa, the woman would gasp from time to time, sounding very suggestive.
This movement woke up Olivia from her sleep. She felt that her mouth was dry and bitter. She got up and was about to go downstairs to drink something when she bumped into the two of them.
Her feet felt like they weighed 1,000 kilograms, and she could not take a single step. She stared blankly at the two people in front of her, not knowing what to do.
Brian enjoyed the look on Olivia’s face. It had achieved the effect he wanted.
After the two of them entered, Brian pushed the woman away in disdain and threw a large sum of money on the bed. He then turned around and walked into the washroom to take a shower, completely ignoring the stunned woman outside.
Olivia walked into her room dejectedly. A normal wife would probably be furious when she saw this, but what right did she have to question Brian?
He had been forced to marry her in the first place.
Olivia lay on the bed and gently caressed her stomach. It was as if this was the only way she could feel more at ease. However, her heart still felt stuffy and desolate.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep, but the door clicked open from the outside.
Under the moonlight, Brian saw that Olivia’s eyelashes were wet from her tears. He was silent for a while before he reached out to wipe her tears away. He felt awkward and strange as he did so.
Suddenly, Olivia grabbed Brian’s hand, “Is that you? Brian?”
Brian’s heart tightened.
