StarNovelChapter 530
Although Olivia enjoyed the meal, she could not eat much, and there were plenty of leftovers.
To avoid waste, she had to pack some back for Fred to eat.
Xavier laughed. “Pheebs, you are a diamond designer. Do you have to be so down to earth?”
Olivia smiled sheepishly. “I don’t want to disappoint you. I have a small appetite, and I couldn’t eat
much.”
“Even though I don’t like Fred, I don’t feel good about making him eat leftovers,” With that, Xavier stood
up and said, “You know what? I’ll take it home and finish it.”
“Huh?”
“I mean it.”
With that, Xavier went to look for a waiter to help him pack the food, and he took it when he left for his
car.
“Pheebs, this is the leftover dinner I had with you. I won’t waste it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was embarrassed upon hearing that, but she did not say anything.
On the way back, he was in a good mood. “Pheebs, I’m delighted tonight.”
Olivia glanced at him. “Xavier, stop saying that, or I won’t eat out with you anymore.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”
Xavier quickly smiled and surrendered.
“You’re driving. Be careful.”
“Sorry. I was in such a good mood that I forgot myself.”
It was already dark when they were at the bottom of the mountain. There were many turns down the
hill, so Xavier drove slowly.
Olivia opened the window and let the night breeze blow on her face, making her feel better.
Suddenly, the car made an abnormal sound, and Xavier pulled over by the roadside.
“Pheebs, wait in the car. I’ll go down and take a look.”
“Okay. Be careful.”
Xavier nodded and got out of the car.
After a while, he lifted his head and said, “Pheebs, the car has a flat tire. I’ll change it now. Wait for
a while.”
“Huh?”
Olivia got out of the car. “Can you do it? Shall we call for help?”
She used to call for help whenever there was anything wrong with her car. After all, she could not
always identify the problem.
Xavier smiled. “Of course. I might look thin, but I’m muscular.”
Olivia could not help smiling. “Hurry up, then. Parking on a mountain path like this is dangerous.”
“No problem. There are almost no cars in this area.”
Just as he spoke, a car dashed out of the road and pulled over beside them. It startled Olivia.
Before they could react, four people came out of the car and pinned Xavier to the ground.
“Run, Pheebs!”
Olivia wanted to call the police. However, someone knocked her unconscious with a stick before she
could take out her phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Pheebs? Pheebs? Wake up!”
Who was calling her name?
Olivia frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty feeling pain in her head. It was dark, and a cold
sweat broke out on her forehead.
“Pheebs, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Just then, she felt someone grabbing her hand and giving her a soothing touch.
Olivia realized that her hands were tied behind her back, and Xavier had just spoken.
However, that was not enough to ease her anxiousness in the dark.
Sensing that she was trembling, Xavier moved closer and leaned against her as he said softly,”
Pheebs, they are outside. I think they want money. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to us.”
Olivia bit her lip and leaned gently against him, trembling as she said, “I-I’m afraid of the dark.”
“Don’t be afraid. Take my hand.”
However, a scene from the past began to flash across Olivia’s mind.
Her memories flashed from being kidnapped when she was young, to being left in the little black hut by
John, to getting trapped in an elevator a while ago.
Her body trembled more and more violently.
She wanted to escape…
