Chapter 57
In H City, a black and luxurious Aston Martin was driving on a wide street.
In the back seat of the car, a figure in a black suit walked in from the dark with a murderous look.
Everett took the phone and squinted at the front with dark eyes.
"Mr.Weston, Miss Hadley paid the money back."
His eyes narrowed, and replied faintly.
Five million.
‘‘Olivia, I underestimated you” Brayden thought to himself.
In the hotel, Brayden made two cups of coffee and placed them in front of them.
Then he sat down and said, "Speak.’’
He listened.Olivia nodded and looked at him.
"Senior, I was married and divorced"
Brayden was taken aback.
His mind went blank for a while.
Her words startled him.
Suddenly, he didn't know what to do.
It turned out she went through a divorce.
Was that why she had been heartbroken? Olivia continued, "I signed a divorce agreement with my ex- husband before the miscarriage.The day after I was sent to your apartment, I went to the civil affairs bureau with him to settle the divorce."
Brayden clenched his hand and stared at her.
"It's okay.I don't care!" he said.
He suddenly understood why she had told him these words.
She wanted to disassociate herself from him.
No! Absolutely not! Olivia was as calm as ever and she added, "The reason for our divorce is very simple.He doesn't love me.Our marriage won't work out."
"And the child was found after we signed the divorce agreement.”
"I want that child, and he doesn't.In the end, for many reasons, we lost the child."
"This is what happened to me."
Brayden's hands were clenched and his face was cold.
It turned out that the man had hurt her so deeply.
If only he had come back earlier.
At least she could keep the child.
"Sorry, I should have shown up earlier.’ Olivia shook her head and smiled gently.
"Now, I want to get married.Will you marry me?" she asked.
Brayden's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You...What did you say?" he asked.
He could feel the blood pulsing through his veins and his mind was in great confusion that his voice was unstable.
"I said, I want to get married.Will you marry me?"
She knew what he wanted.And she had no other way to repay him than that.
Moreover, once she got married, she could completely get rid of Everett.
There was a faint smile on Brayden's face, then the smile widened.
He couldn't help but stand up, clenched his hands into fists, and looked at her with bright eyes.
He couldn't believe that she asked him if he would marry her. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Of course, he would! This was something he dreamed of! But soon, the smile on Brayden's face faded, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Did you said that because you borrowed five million from me?"
It was as if he had bought her for five million dollars.
"No"
Olivia looked into his eyes and saw the suppressed anger inside.
She whispered, "My ex-husband felt that I embarrassed him because men are around me sometimes.This time my father's debt was also his fault.I don't want to be manipulated by him, but I
can't help it.He's too powerful."
"I can only get married.Olivia said it without hiding anything, and the anger in Brayden's eyes gradually disappeared.He would only be angry if she gave herself to him like goods.He would be angry at her for disrespecting herself.But now, the reason she was doing this was to make use of him.He was very happy.”
Why? Because the first one on her mind was him, not Frank, which proved that she believed him.Indeed, Olivia said, "I'm 25 years old and it's time to get married.Although I've thought about being alone for the rest of my life before, I think I can get married if my future husband is you."
Whether Brayden really liked her or he was just like Everett, she was willing to believe him again.
Even if this marriage ended in failure, she did not regret it.
The emotions in Brayden’s eyes surged again, and even his hands began to tremble.
He came to her, knelt down on one knee, held her hand, and looked at her with a burning passion in his eyes.
"Olivia, will you marry me? Will you be with me no matter what happens?"
How could he let her ask for a proposal? He was supposed to propose to her.
Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes as she said, "As long as you don't give up, I'll be by your side."
