Chapter 876


    Olivia and Everly drank tea, walked around the mall, and watched a movie. It was just like old times.


    They cherished the time they had together.


    Alicia yawned when the movie ended.


    Joshua drove an Audi A8 over and asked, “Ms. Fordham, do you want to head home now?”


    Olivia looked at him in confusion. “Where did you get the car?”


    “I rented it. It’s pretty cheap for such a good car. Ms. Alicia is falling asleep. I figured that it would be


    troublesome for you to take the bus.


    “Hurry up and get in. It’s very cold outside.”


    Olivia beckoned for Everly to get in the car. Alicia had already fallen asleep in her arms.


    Joshua ced their bags in the trunk and asked, “Where is thisdy headed?”


    ? Everly replied hesitantly.


    Olivia asked, “Are you still living at Azure Oasis?”


    “Yeah, same ce.” Everly nodded.


    “Alright. Sit tight.”

    The snow was getting heavier outside. There were fewer people on the street.


    Olivia noticed that Everly would often space out, but she would say she was fine every time Olivia


    asked her about it.


    Olivia knew something had happened to her.


    They had been friends since high school, and Olivia understood her too well.


    If something could cause a carefree woman like Everly to avoid talking about it and space out during


    conversations, it had to be rted to a man.


    It was likely that this man was not someone she could talk about, or their rtionship needed to be


    kept a secret.


    Back then, when Everly managed to get Josh to be her boyfriend, it was like she wanted the


    whole world to know


    Olivia couldn’t force her to speak up if she didn’t want to talk about it.


    The car pulled up in Everly’s neighborhood.


    She feigned a smile and said, “I’ll take my leave here. Your daughter is asleep. You should go home as


    soon as possible.”


    “It’s almost Christmas. Do you want to hang out?”


    A hint of disappointment shed on Everly’s face. “I’ll confirm with youter. I might be busy.”


    “Okay. Then you should save my new phone number. Call me when you’re free.”


    “Okay. Goodbye”


    Olivia closed the door. Through the rearview mirror, she could see Everly looking at her on the side of


    the road.


    It pained Olivia to see Everly like that. She finally understood why Everly looked at her like that back


    then.


    They were adults. They could only endure the misfortune that befell them quietly. They couldn’t express


    their emotions freely like kids anymore.


    Even as a bystander, they could only watch. They couldn’t do anything, even if it pained them.


    Everly walked away after Olivia’s car was out of sight.


    Olivia said coldly, “Turn back.”


    “What?”


    “Just do as I say. Drive slowly.”


    “Understood.”


    Olivia saw another car at Everly’s ce.


    It was a silver Spyker. A tall and elegant man got out of the car.


    Olivia was shocked. How could it be him? It was a man she only met briefly before-Henry Synder,


    Everly’s employer.


    Olivia would understand why Everly wanted to keep her rtionship a secret if it were him.


    A taboo rtionship between an assistant and her employer was indeed not something she would want


    to tell others.


    But if they truly loved each other, they could ovee any difficulties.


    Henry said something to Everly, and it made her very agitated. She ran to the flowerbed and picked up


    a brick. She looked determined to fight him to the death.


    Henry took the brick from her and pulled her into his arms. He pressed her against the car and kissed


    her.


    The snow kept falling around them.


    The brick also dropped to the ground. There were tears flowing down her face, but she didn’t push him


    away.


    Olivia looked away and said, “Let’s go.”


    Everly had fallen for him. But in a rtionship, the one who falls in love first would always end up


    losing.
