’Godmother, he’s still down there.”
Olivia got up, went to the window, opened it a crack, and saw John standing downstairs, looking like he had no plans to leave.
’Godmother, is it possible he didn’t lie to you?”
’Sam, move to Elegance Gardens.”
Sam froze slightly. “Okay, but why did you say that all of a sudden?’
’This man isn’t trustworthy. I’m afraid something will happen to you if you stay at his place. If you stay at Elegance Gardens, I can pick you up and drop you off at school. At least I can keep you safe.’’
Olivia touched his head. “I owe it to your mother. If anything happened to you, I probably wouldn’t dare to see her if something bad happened to you.’
Sam nodded. “Okay. I’ll go home and pack up my things when he’s gone.’
’Play in your room. I want to be alone.’
’Okay.’
Seeing the horrid expression on her face, Sam wanted to ask what had happened. However, he knew he was only ten. She probably would not tell him even if he asked, so he could only shut up obediently and head downstairs.
Olivia only sat blankly by the window. Since she was probably too tired, she fell asleep.
She also had a dream in which John locked her in a dark room, and she could not breathe.
Thunder blasted outside the window, suddenly scaring her awake.
’Ah!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
She opened her eyes to find the room dark. When she drew the curtains open, she saw dark clouds, lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. The trees were also shaking in the wind. It looked scary.
Just when she thought John had left, she caught a glimpse of the figure in the yard.
He was soaked, and his hair stuck to his face. He was still looking up in her window with no intention of leaving.
Olivia frowned and yanked the curtains shut.
What the h*ll is wrong with this man?
He stood in the rain when his wounds hadn’t even recovered. Does he think I will feel sorry for him?
‘No. I’m not going to fall for that.
‘If we can let bygones be bygones by getting caught in the rain, we don’t need police and law.’
When Olivia went downstairs, Mrs. Simmons was serving food to the table.
’Miss, it’s time to eat.”
’Okay, let me wash my hands.”
Mrs. Simmons looked out the window and then at Olivia. After thinking about it, she said, “Miss, that man hasn’t left yet. Why don’t…”
’Mrs. Simmons, you are not that easily persuaded, are you?’
’No, no.’ Mrs. Simmons quickly shook her head. ‘How could I be persuaded? I remember how he treated you, Miss. But wasn’t he injured when saving you earlier? I’m only afraid something would happen to him at our gate, and word would get out…”
Olivia looked up at her. “There’s nothing to be afraid of even if word about this got out. Let’s eat.”
Then she pushed the plate of noodles up to Sam. “Sam, you’re still recovering from your illness. Eat more. Got it?”
’Okay. Thank you, Godmother.”
Sam thought Olivia might look calm but had mixed emotions. He had a feeling that he needed to do something about it.
Godmother would be upset if anything happened to the man out there.
Just then, a strong wind blew through, making the windows rattle and sending rain straight inside.
Sam got up quickly. “The windows are open. Let me close them.”
While closing the window, he looked into the yard to where John had been standing.
Where is he? Where did he go?’
He looked around for a long time before finally seeing the figure on the ground. He immediately widened his eyes and shouted, “Godmother, Godfather fainted! Shall we get an ambulance?”
With that said, he ran to open the door, only to be yanked back by Olivia.
Olivia slammed the plate down in front of him, her face cold. “Eat. Don’t worry about things unrelated to food.”
’But…”
’Sam, are you not going to listen to me anymore?”
Sam did not want to anger her, so he looked out of the window worriedly. Then he lowered his head and took a few bites of his food.
No one noticed that Olivia’s hands shook as she held the cutleries.
