Chapter 301 Kiss
Andrew had always been a decisive person.
Once he made up his mind, he didn't hesitate—he coaxed Olivia to come to Harmony City!
However, because he was so used to being alone, he overlooked this point and never clearly talked about making their relationship official.
At this moment, he came to her with his sincere heart, holding nothing back, to ask for her opinion.
Looking at the man before her, Olivia's anxious heart finally settled down.
It seemed she hadn't misunderstood, it wasn't one-sided wishful thinking, and she hadn't bet everything on a losing hand.
He liked her too.
Even with this realization, Olivia still felt like all of this was a dream.
How lucky she was that he chose her.
The person before her was noble and aloof beyond compare.
She had wondered before who in this world could possibly make him fall in love.
But she never imagined that person would be her.
She didn't have a prestigious family background that matched his status, she was divorced, and she had a child.
Compared to others, she seemed to have no advantages at all.
So when she heard Andrew asking for her opinion, Olivia became hesitant instead.
She was thinking, 'Can I really do this? Be with someone as outstanding as him?'
Andrew seemed to sense her uncertainty, but he was very patient.
He didn't rush her, just quietly watched and waited for her.
Fortunately, this wait wasn't too long.
After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Olivia finally spoke.
She said, "Andrew, you know about my past. I suffered so much and went through many terrible things.
I gathered my courage to pursue what I thought was love, but ended up losing completely.
My last relationship ended miserably, and honestly, I'm scared. I don't want to repeat that experience.
But feelings seem impossible to control.
When I was in Emerald City, I tried to restrain myself, but I still couldn't control my feelings.
Later, I figured it out—I need to try!
Since meeting you, everything I've experienced has been good. You're like my lucky star, making me feel that I'm not so terrible or worthless after all.
I'm willing to trust you, and I hope we'll have a good outcome."
Speaking these words took all of Olivia's courage.
Her heart was more nervous than ever as she looked at the man before her.
Andrew waited for her to finish, his gaze still gentle.
He smiled softly, raised his hand to brush her cheek, and told her, "You're wrong. There's nothing terrible about you. The past you was also good—sweet and kind.
You were just too hard on yourself, which is why you suffered so much and were bullied by so many bad people!
But from now on, with me here, I won't let that happen again!
No one will dare to bully you like that anymore!"
Hearing the certainty in his voice, Olivia's heart filled with warmth.
Although it was just a simple promise, she didn't know why, but she was willing to believe him.
Because Andrew wasn't someone who broke his word easily.
At least, from when they met until now, he had kept every promise he made to her.
He seemed capable of anything, able to handle everything.
His very existence was a sense of security that could chase away all her anxiety and fear.
After Olivia felt reassured, she gave him a sweet smile, looking a bit shy as she nodded, "Yes, I know."
He was different from Michael.
She felt his sincerity and how much he valued her!
She also believed that Andrew wouldn't trample on her feelings like Michael did.
Looking at her trusting gaze and her sweet, gentle face, Andrew couldn't help but feel his emotions surge.
In the room, the scent of fragrance filled the air, carrying a hint of sweetness.
The subtle fragrance drifted, making one's thoughts wander.
The person before him was smiling so beautifully for the first time.
Andrew's deep eyes were like ocean whirlpools, filled with deep affection that could almost drown someone.
Olivia felt dazed for a moment under such a gaze.
When she came to her senses, she had already been pulled into Andrew's embrace.
The scent unique to him hit her face, carrying the allure of a mature man and a burning tenderness.
Olivia's heartbeat nearly took flight, her eyes trembling, her long lashes fluttering like butterflies about to fly away.
Nervous yet expectant emotions showed on her face, making her delicate features look even more innocent.
She was completely like a flower bud waiting to be picked.
Andrew had always been calm and self-controlled, wanting nothing.
But at this moment, he discovered that his past understanding of himself was somewhat wrong.
Inside him lurked a beast that, once released, was almost impossible to control.
Perhaps it was this moment of attraction that drew them closer.
A warm kiss gently landed on Olivia's soft lips.
It was clearly meant to be just a taste, but the moment they touched, it went from light to lingering, then turned passionate.
Olivia felt like she was completely surrounded by his presence.
She also discovered that her judgment of Andrew was wrong.
How could he be cold and passionless?
Those beautiful, aloof eyes were clearly tinged with startling desire.
This noble and aloof person seemed to be pulled by her into the mud of love.
That face, too perfect to find fault with, was now breathtakingly alluring.
Olivia felt her heartbeat was going crazy.
She didn't know how long it lasted before the kiss finally ended.
Olivia embarrassingly discovered that her legs were so weak she could barely stand, and her whole body was even trembling slightly.
If she weren't leaning in Andrew's arms, she might have embarrassed herself by being unable to stand.
Therefore, she didn't dare to meet his eyes at this moment.
Her face was almost buried in the man's chest.
Andrew looked down at the soft person in his arms and asked with a light laugh, "Are you okay?"
The man's low, husky voice made Olivia's face and ears turn even redder.
She buried her face deeper in his chest, just shaking her head to show she was fine.
But only she knew her heart was about to burst out of her chest.
She never imagined that kissing someone she liked could be so wonderful, as if her bones were melting.
Seeing her bright red ears, Andrew's already satisfied mood became even more pleased.
He discovered that Olivia was really easy to embarrass.
And her kissing was clumsy, not at all like someone experienced.
It seemed Michael's lack of appreciation wasn't entirely bad.
It was precisely because of his neglect that Olivia retained this innocence and purity.
And this Olivia was now his!
Thinking of this, Andrew's mood improved even more, and he held her tighter.
He patiently waited for her breathing to calm down, his slender fingers stroking her back, as if grooming his little cat.
After Olivia completely recovered, he loosened his hold and said softly to the person in his arms, "I need to sleep for a bit. Will you stay with me?"
Hearing this, Olivia couldn't help but get nervous.
Stay how?
They just got together, right?
And they're already going to sleep together?
Isn't this too fast???
Olivia felt that all her courage for today had been used up in that kiss.
She even started to stutter, "You sleep, I won't disturb you. If I stay, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep..."
Andrew chuckled, "No, with you here, I'll sleep better."
He held Olivia's hand, his fingertips gently rubbing it, his voice full of magnetic huskiness, as if restraining something, saying meaningfully, "I don't want to let you go yet. Stay and keep me company!"
After saying this, without waiting for Olivia's response, he used a clever move to easily bring her to sit by the bedside.
Then he lay down, resting his head on her lap.
Andrew's voice was lazy, "Keep massaging for me? What you did earlier felt great. I think my nerves relaxed a lot. I should be able to sleep well."
Hearing this, Olivia remembered this part.
Feeling sorry for him, she couldn't refuse him anymore.
Besides, they had just opened up to each other, and the tender feelings still lingered.
Honestly, Olivia felt she didn't want to leave so soon either.
So she nodded and said softly, "Okay, then you sleep."
Then she raised her hand to gently massage his temples.
Andrew closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep under her gentle touch and the floating fragrance.
Olivia originally just wanted to wait for Andrew to wake up before going back.
But unexpectedly, the man slept for a long time.
In the end, she was also overtaken by drowsiness and unknowingly fell asleep leaning against the headboard.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already light outside.
Olivia groggily got up, suddenly remembering what happened last night.
She instinctively looked at the space beside her. Andrew was gone, and the sheets were cold.
She didn't know when he got up. Had he already gone to the company?
Thinking of this, Olivia felt a bit annoyed.
She was just keeping him company, but unexpectedly fell asleep.
She was about to get up when suddenly she heard the bathroom door behind her open.
Olivia turned to look and saw a tall, upright figure walking out.
The man was wearing a white bathrobe, the collar somewhat loose, but it couldn't hide the sexual tension and hormonal aura radiating from his bones.
His hair was still wet, dripping water.
He was holding a towel, naturally drying his hair while looking at her.
Although they were some distance apart, she seemed to feel his fresh, clean scent.
Witnessing her boyfriend's post-shower scene first thing in the morning, Olivia felt her little heart couldn't take it.
When this person wasn't being aloof, he was simply bewitching, the heart-stealing kind!
