Chapter 740
After hanging up, Olivia's tension increased, making her restless.
If Jimmy had identified Fabian, things were going to be more difficult.
After all, Zac had no power or even equity. Even Legal Department was not on his side.
She was worried about Zac...
When she heard the engine outside in the evening, she thought it was Zac. She quickly opened the door and ran
out.
"Zac, you..."
However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw John get out of the car, and her expression changed instantly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Where's Zac?"
"He's not back."
"I’ll go in and wait for him then."
Olivia stopped him at the door and looked out. "That's a bad idea. The reporters will make something up about US
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeing alone."
John frowned slightly. "There are no reporters. I already had someone check it out. I've seen the trending post. I'm
here because of that."
She had no choice but to open the door and let him in.
"You're not here to see me?"
"Ha, we're not close enough for me to want to see you, are we?"
John was speechless as he sat on the sofa silently.
When Mrs. Simmons saw him from the kitchen, she did not even bother to pour him coffee. She took a bottle of ice
water from the refrigerator and slammed it in front of him. "Make do with it, Mr. Freeman."
John froze. "It's okay. It's better than nothing."
"Ha, you're easily content, Mr. Freeman. After all, a heartless person can live more freely than others."
Afraid John would lose his temper with Mrs. Simmons, Olivia hurriedly pulled Mrs. Simmons into the kitchen. "Mrs.
Simmons, come in with me."
"Miss, why are you pulling me? Why won't you let me scold that unfaithful man?"
"Mrs. Simmons, you're not a kid anymore. Why are you behaving like a child? What's the use of scolding him when
you know he's heartless? Do you expect him to feel guilty?"
Mrs. Simmons shook her hand away. "I think you're too kind, Miss.
Honestly, do you still think of..."
Before Mrs. Simmons could finish speaking, Olivia heard a familiar adorable sound.
"Wait."
She interrupted Mrs. Simmons and ran out to check. Her heart almost leaped out of her chest when she saw Lyla
video-calling John.
Olivia lunged for the tablet but missed it.
"John, turn it off!"
John glanced at Lyla in the video before glancing at her. He stood up and held the tablet high.
"Is this my daughter?"
"No!"
"Really?"
"John! Are you looking fortrouble?"
Olivia panicked as she jumped up to grab the tablet. However, she failed and fell on top of John, and the two of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem crashed into the sofa.
"Mommy? What are you guys doing? Why are you fighting?"
Lyla's anxious voice came from the video. "Mommy, is he the monster?"
Olivia thought on her feet and said with a smile, "Yeah, I'm fighting a monster!"
John tried to protest, but Olivia covered his mouth. "Lyla, look. I'm tough. The monster can't hurt me. Don't worry."
Lyla looked worried. Why did the monster not look strange?
Besides, why did she find the monster familiar as if she had seen him somewhere before?
Olivia managed to turn off the video call. John turned around and pinned her onto the sofa as soon as she was
relieved.
"John, what are you doing?"
Her eyes widened as she tried to resist, but she could not move her hands because John was holding them so
tightly.
John's dark eyes were indiscernible. "Liv, why won't you let her acknowledge me? She cant live without her father."
While they were having a standoff, the door was pushed open, and Wilbur came in with Zac.
