Chapter 61: Let Him Misunderstand

What’s Harper thinking now?

Just a moment ago, Joseph was so gentle, making her feel cherished.

Well, it figures.

His tenderness should be for Olivia.

Harper gave a self-deprecating smile, the pain in her heart like needles, almost suffocating her.

And Joseph in bed didn’t react at all.

To him, she was probably just a woman who offered herself for his amusement.

Harper looked at Joseph for a while, but eventually suppressed the bitterness in her heart. Almost unwilling to face it all, she endured the pain, got dressed, gritted her teeth, and fled in a panic.

Outside the hotel.

After Olivia sent a message to Joseph, she waited for a while but got no reply.

She thought, he must be really drunk, right?

In the end, Harper didn’t buy anything and entered the hotel.

The Moonlight Hotel was big, with two elevators at each end of the hallway.

As Olivia stepped out of the elevator, a familiar figure in the hallway made her stop abruptly.

Was that... Harper?

In an instant, Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief. The next second, she instinctively stepped aside, glancing at Harper ahead.

It wasn’t until Harper entered the opposite elevator and the doors closed that Olivia walked out.

Not far away was room 606, and the door was open.

Harper just came out of there, right?

Olivia's heart trembled. She pushed the door open.

The room still held a lingering sense of intimacy, and in just a second, she knew what had happened here!

Olivia stood at the door for a long time, unable to accept the reality!

So, Harper and Joseph had been together?

Olivia's hand tightened at her side, her nails digging deeply into her palm!

"Harper."

Why, why is it Harper again?

Olivia closed her eyes heavily, and at this moment, what appeared in her mind was what she had seen with her own eyes that day.

She had known everything for a long time. Harper married Joseph; she was his secret wife!

Last time at the hotel, Olivia saw Joseph and Patrick arguing. She heard everything they said from the shadows.

The pain she felt then was no less than what she felt now.

But later, Olivia forced herself to pretend she didn't know and continued to have dinner with Harper, but she was in so much pain that she wanted Harper to feel a bit of it too, to know her pain.

Yes, that's right, she deliberately ate something she shouldn't have, triggering her stomach problem, making Joseph misunderstand Harper.

Thinking of this, Olivia's eyes turned sour.

She thought Joseph cared about her, but tonight she saw with her own eyes, and it hurt so much!

Gradually, the pain turned into hatred.

Olivia's eyes filled with intense anger. Harper, Harper, how do you deserve Joseph?

Her hand clenched her bag tightly, her fingertips turning white, and her wide eyes filled with unwillingness, as if a fire could ignite at any moment.

Harper slowly walked in, and seeing Joseph asleep with his muscular chest exposed, her face grew colder.

She knew better than anyone how excellent Joseph was.

And what right did Harper have? She was just an orphan!

Harper didn't deserve to marry Joseph.

How did she have the right to be with Joseph now?

No.

Joseph belonged to her, Olivia!

From many years ago, from that night of the earthquake, he was hers!

Olivia's eyes showed a layer of determination, an obsession that seemed out of control, leaving her with no way back.

"Joseph, from now on, there will be no one else, only you and me."

Olivia wanted to return everything to its original track, to the time without Harper.

It didn't matter if he had slept with her; she could erase all traces.

Tonight, she could also become Joseph's woman, making him belong to her alone.

The soft voice caused no ripples in the room, and Olivia suddenly smiled.

Olivia began to undress herself, then lifted the blanket.

Her fingers caressed Joseph's strong chest, and she leaned down to kiss his sexy thin lips.

In a daze, Joseph felt a pair of flirtatious hands on him.

He thought it was Harper, grabbed those hands, and said hoarsely, "Harper, don't mess around."

Hearing his voice, Olivia's heart skipped a beat. She quickly leaned against his arm, stopping her urge.

Just a bit more, and she would have succeeded.

Why did he wake up at this moment?

At that moment, Joseph slowly opened his eyes, raising his hand to pinch his nose.

The aftermath of the hangover was a jumbled memory and a splitting headache.

Joseph closed his eyes and recalled that it was Eric who brought him to the hotel.

Then Eric called Harper.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Joseph looked down and saw the woman beside him, her long hair covering her cheek.

He couldn't help but smile and reached out to gently touch her.

At this moment, the woman spoke softly, "Joseph, you're awake."

Olivia turned over, looking tired and seemingly not fully awake. She closed her eyes again and leaned closer to him.

Joseph's arm froze in mid-air, his smile vanished!

"Olivia! How..."

How could it be Olivia?
