Chapter 673
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Get in the car."
Olivia went straight to the car, opened the door, and sat inside. She left the door open for him.
"I'm not getting in your car. If you want to talk, talk in my car."
A glint of disappointment flashed across John's face, but he still chose to get into the car.
"Wilbur, drive back to Elegance Gardens."
"Yes, Mrs. Quinton."
Olivia deliberately distanced herself from John. "Mr. Freeman, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Her actions hurt John's feelings.
"Does he know?"
"Know what?"
"That Lyla is our daughter."
Olivia frowned. "I said that Lyla had nothing to do with you. She is my daughter. Anyway, Zac knows
about everything. I keep no secrets from him."
The atmosphere grew tense again, and Wilbur dared not even breathe loudly.

After a while, John finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and deep. "Do you really trust each other so
much?"
Olivia turned her head and looked at John. "What do you mean by that?"
"Why didn't we trust each other when we were married?"
Olivia's heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
"Mr. Freeman, you should ask yourself this. It was you who did not trust me first, not me who did not
trust you."
"What's the difference? Why can you trust him completely and rely on him when you couldn't tell me
anything?"
John suppressed his resentment and said, "Six years ago, when you had an accident, you did not tell
me the truth."
"No, I didn't. But you didn't either, did you?"
Then, Olivia scoffed. "It's been so long. What's the point of still clinging to that matter?"
"No. I need to make things clear."
John reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in his direction. He asked, "Liv, will you trust me in
the future?"
He did not want to go back to the old days of mutual suspicion and being calculative.
All he wanted was to care for her.
Only four years ago, when he received the news that Olivia was dead, he understood he had loved her
all this while.
Now that she had married Zac, he understood his biggest mistake was being presumptuous.
All this while, he thought he was the boss in the relationship.
He had such a high status that he thought she would never leave him and would always love him.
However, now he realized it.
He was the one who needed her, not she who needed him...
"In the past, I know you hated me and have endless doubts, but in the future..."
Olivia felt heartbroken when she heard how humble his voice was.
"John, does it even matter if I believe you? We.."
"I said I would help you. Just give me a chance to make it up to you."
Olivia did not know why he was suddenly putting himself in a lowly state. She did not know how to

"Why don't you tell me what you and Xavier talked about at the hotel?"
"He wanted to work with me and do projects together."
Olivia froze when she heard that. "What did you say? Work with you?"
"Yes. I thought it was strange too, so I came to warn you about this man."
Within the same day, two men had told her to watch out for Xavier's scheming, making her a little
warier.
"Where's my brother?"
"In the Larson's Residence."
"What did you say to him?"
"Don't worry. I didn't tell him who you were. I told him to focus on his studies and stay out of things."
Olivia looked at John suspiciously. "Are you really going to stand by my side and help me?"
"Yes. So, trust me."
They looked into each other's eyes.
After what happened four years ago, she never thought that
she and John could get along so well, let alone that he would one day come and ask her to trust him.
The feeling was indescribable...
