Chapter 278 Feelings for Her, Not Wanting to Hide
Hearing the answer he wanted, Andrew smiled, "You said it yourself..."
Olivia pressed her face against his chest, eyes closed.
Speaking just now had used up all her remaining consciousness. Now, perhaps feeling his familiar presence, she gradually relaxed and, leaning against Andrew, drowsily began to fall asleep.
Andrew looked at her like this and found her somewhat adorable, raising his hand to gently poke her cheek.
Olivia at this moment let him tease her, too sleepy to muster any energy.
Andrew looked at her, his eyes growing increasingly deep and tender.
After teasing her enough, he gently brushed away the hair from her cheek.
When Olivia was quiet, her expression was especially well-behaved, her face beautiful and delicate.
Because she had been drinking, her cheeks were flushed pink, making anyone who saw her want to cherish her.
Andrew pressed his lips together, as if restraining himself.
After several seconds, unable to suppress the surging impulse in his heart, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Olivia's smooth forehead.
His voice was deep but very serious as he said, "Olivia, whether you're talking drunk tonight or not, since you've said it, you're not allowed to take it back!"
He wouldn't allow her to take it back either.
When he first met her, Andrew didn't have many thoughts, only interested in Bianca's condition.
After all, at that time, she wasn't divorced yet, and he had little interest in being a homewrecker.
However, through their daily interactions, he eventually discovered her personal charm.
What others couldn't see, he saw clearly. His gaze would unconsciously be drawn to her, and he appreciated her more and more.
He couldn't bear to see her sad or bullied, and wanted to protect her!
Later, when she got divorced, he began to follow his heart.
He never wanted to hide his feelings for her.
Olivia didn't respond, the weight of her body almost entirely pressed against him, as if she had really fallen asleep.
He gently picked her up and slowly placed her on the bed.
Throughout the entire process, Olivia didn't wake up.
Andrew stood beside her, watching her sleeping face for a while, until sounds came from outside, then he turned and left the room.
After Yara finished bathing Bianca, she came over here, wanting to see if there was anything she could help with.
Seeing Andrew come out, she asked with concern, "Is Ms. Smith okay? Should I give her some hangover medicine?"
Andrew shook his head, saying, "No need, she's already asleep, don't disturb her for now."
Since he said so, Yara didn't say anything more.
Bianca stepped forward and hugged his leg, her eyes looking at him reluctantly as she asked, "Daddy, are you leaving again tonight?"
Andrew picked her up.
Bianca had just finished her bath, smelling fresh and sweet, her soft little hands hugging him, wearing cartoon pajamas that were incredibly cute.
He smiled and asked, "You don't want me to leave?"
Bianca hugged his neck tighter, saying, "I don't want you to leave, I want you to tell me a story."
"Okay."
Andrew rarely agreed, "Tonight I'll tell you a bedtime story, what do you want to hear?"
"Really?" Bianca's expression was excited and happy, nodding her little head, saying, "I want to hear Snow White, and Cinderella's story too..."
"Okay, I'll tell you both." Andrew looked at Bianca dotingly and soon took her back to the children's room.
Without him saying anything, Bianca had already laid down hugging her little pillow.
The storybook was right by the bedside. Andrew picked it up and began telling her stories.
With the experience from previous times, this time, Andrew's voice was no longer as formulaic as before. He told the stories vividly, and Bianca listened with great satisfaction.
When Olivia woke up, it was already the next morning.
Opening her eyes, she felt the headache from her hangover, along with some fragmented conversations with Andrew from last night.
Olivia sat on the bed, her mind a bit foggy.
She deeply felt she must have been dreaming, and quite boldly at that, actually dreaming that Andrew wanted to take her back to Harmony City.
Setting everything else aside, given her current work situation, going to Harmony City was basically impossible.
Olivia thought for a long time and felt that if that was the case, she must have been dreaming.
In just a few minutes, her mood seemed to have gone through major ups and downs.
Just a few days ago, she had already decided not to get entangled with him anymore.
Why, after getting drunk once, did she have such wishful thoughts?
Olivia smiled bitterly, quickly emerging from her gloomy mood, getting up to wash up and prepare for breakfast.
However, when she left her room, her gaze was surprised to fix on a figure not far away.
It was Andrew!
He was currently accompanying Bianca with her studies.
As if sensing Olivia's gaze, Andrew also turned his head.
"You're awake?" He spoke gently, greeting her, "How do you feel, does your head hurt?"
Olivia quickly said, "It doesn't hurt, but why did you come so early?"
Hearing this, Andrew raised an eyebrow, looked at her and replied, "I didn't leave last night."
Bianca also happily told Olivia, "Daddy told me a bedtime story last night! And he stayed over!"
Olivia suddenly felt even more confused.
Andrew stayed last night?
Then those images in her mind when she woke up, were they dreams or did they really happen?
Olivia looked at Andrew hesitantly, wanting to ask him.
But at that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance.
Olivia's train of thought was interrupted. She turned to look and saw Yara helping Evelyn in.
Behind them, David was supporting Benjamin, both looking somewhat listless.
Benjamin was even holding his waist, his expression grimacing, looking somewhat pained.
Olivia was startled by this scene and quickly went over to ask, "What happened to you guys?"
Evelyn didn't make a sound, remaining silent, seemingly not wanting to answer.
Benjamin cried out in pain, "Dr. Smith, please check me, I think my waist is about to break."
Hearing his voice, Evelyn snapped, "Bullshit, I didn't even use any force, okay!"
Olivia looked at them suspiciously, unable to figure out what was going on, and could only look at Yara.
Yara was also embarrassed at this moment, not knowing what to say.
Finally, David spoke up, explaining concisely, "Nothing much happened, it's just that last night, after Mr. White took Ms. Thomas home, somehow the two of them started drinking again after entering the door.
Then, after getting drunk, they slept in the same bed."
Olivia's eyes widened, startled by this statement.
Sleeping in the same bed, did something happen?
David seemed to understand the meaning conveyed by her eyes and quickly explained, "Don't worry, nothing happened between them. It's just that when we went to wake them up, they both opened their eyes at the same time, probably both startled by each other, and each kicked the other.
After that, they both fell off the bed, and Mr. White hit his waist."
Hearing this, Olivia's expression was simply beyond words.
Andrew also looked at Benjamin with a complicated expression, asking him, "I asked you to take care of someone, and this is how you take care of them?"
"I've been wronged, Andrew!" Benjamin complained aggrievedly, saying, "This really can't be blamed on me. You all saw last night, it was her who was crawling through the bushes all over the complex, saying she wanted to catch a cat.
I tried everything to get her back home, but then she got angry and threw a tantrum at me, saying I had to compensate her for the cat.
Where was I supposed to find a cat for her in the middle of the night?
I figured since she was drunk and not thinking clearly, I stuffed a plush toy in her arms and fooled her into thinking it was a cat.
But then she just kept crying while holding it, saying the cat was dead and not moving, and that she wanted to hold a funeral for it, and then she wanted to toast it with drinks."
Benjamin became more aggrieved as he spoke, "That was one thing, but she also said I was the culprit who killed the cat and had to make amends, so she kept making me drink. If I didn't drink, she'd start crying. I was afraid the neighbors would complain, so I had to drink with her."
Andrew looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh, and while drinking with her, you got drunk too?"
Benjamin touched his nose, not denying it.
After all, no matter how good his alcohol tolerance was, he couldn't drink a thousand cups. If he drank too much, he'd definitely get drunk too.
However, thinking about it now, what happened last night was really stupid.
Olivia didn't expect the story to unfold like this. She found it a bit funny and didn't doubt Benjamin at all.
Because this was indeed something Evelyn would do.
She couldn't help but stare at Evelyn.
At this moment, with everything exposed, Evelyn also felt very embarrassed.
But she definitely couldn't admit it now.
So she said righteously, "If not you, then who? Who told you to fool me with a fake cat! How can you blame me now!"
Benjamin almost laughed in anger, "So you're saying it's all my fault?"
Evelyn snorted, saying, "I didn't say that, but if that's what you think, I can't help it."
Benjamin clutched his chest, almost having a heart attack.
After a while, he still sincerely advised, "Ms. Thomas, I suggest that next time you go out, really don't touch alcohol.
With the way you act when you're drunk, ordinary people really can't handle your antics.
It was only because I stopped you last night, otherwise you'd be on the headlines today.
I've even thought of the title: #Drunk Woman Lifts Her Skirt in Public, Climbs Bushes to Catch Cat, Flashes Crowd."
Evelyn's face turned red all the way to her neck, and she quickly stopped him, "Shut up!"
Benjamin wouldn't. He was still feeling wronged and was about to speak again when Evelyn suddenly lunged at him, trying to strangle his neck.
Benjamin's waist was already hurting, and with Evelyn's collision, he had no strength to hold on. In the end, they both fell onto the sofa and then rolled onto the floor.
Benjamin screamed again, "You're trying to murder me! Help!"
The scene became somewhat chaotic.
"Oh my, how did they roll together again? Mr. White, is your waist okay? Ms. Thomas, how are you?"
Yara and David were both startled by them and anxiously went to help them up.
Andrew looked at them with disgust in his eyes.
Olivia didn't expect to see such a scene and couldn't help but laugh quietly while hiding beside Andrew.
How had she never noticed before that these two together were so entertaining?
Their chemistry was a bit too strong.
Andrew noticed her little movements and couldn't help but feel playful, raising his hand to lightly scratch under her chin, like scratching a kitten, a hint of amusement appearing in his eyes too.
Since it could make her happy, he didn't mind these two being embarrassing anymore!
