Chapter 3989
For her, as an adult, such intimacy meant little… In other words, a moment like this wouldn’t sway her decision to reconcile with Dylan.
After rejecting him, she walked back to the house alone.
Olivia remained upstairs until the party ended.
It was around ten in the evening when the guests departed one by one.
Soon after, Laura came upstairs and knocked on the door.
“Everyone has left, including Dylan! How did your conversation go today?”
After her shower, Olivia was now reading a book in bed.
Beside her, Leyla was already asleep.
The little girl was sleeping deeply.
Wanting not to disturb Leyla, Olivia got up softly and murmured, “Let’s head out to talk!”
Meanwhile, Laura was feeling a bit guilty, as she was the one who had invited Dylan.
Once they reached the parlor, Olivia asked with a light smile, “This was Edwin’s idea, wasn’t it?”

Laura looked at her for a moment before admitting awkwardly, “How did you figure that out?”
Olivia and Laura were close, so she said frankly, “Because only you would fall for his tricks time and time again! Everyone knows that.
”
At this, Laura hung her head and remained silent.
Olivia gently nudged her shoulder and teased, “That’s why Edwin is so fond of you.
You’re just too cute!”
Eventually, Laura managed a shy smile.
Thinking of Dylan, Olivia continued with a bitter smile, “Maybe Dylan thinks I’m as naive as you are! But Laura, we’re different, and I couldn’t possibly remain naive and simple forever!”
Since her childhood, she had seen how Edwin took care of everyone in the family.
Without Edwin’s sacrifices, she couldn’t have enjoyed such a carefree life all these years.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She used to be pampered by Dylan.
She used to be so happy every day when they were together.
Yet, it was Dylan who left her, forcing her to grow strong and independent…
Olivia and Laura chatted into the late hours of the night.
Afterwards, Laura tiptoed back to her room, mindful not to disturb Edwin’s sleep.
