Reborn Wife

Chapter 11

After dinner, Olivia diligently rubbed her father's shoulders.

Langston looked at her suspiciously.

"What do you want, girl?" he asked, laughing.

He knew that when Olivia seemed a little too attentive, she had something to ask from him.

Olivia rubbed her nose.

Her father was right; she had something to say.

"Dad, can we go to the Tubmans tomorrow?"

"What do you mean?" Langston was annoyed now.

"Sooner or later, you're going to marry him.Are you really that anxious to go to that house?"

No one would understand the feeling of raising a daughter and have her be dragged away from home by an unworthy man. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Especially Leonard! He had always treated Olivia badly, so Langston never really liked him.

Olivia knew that her father would react this way.

"I mean, I want to cancel the wedding..."

She had already told her mother about this matter, so Madam Enya was not surprised at all.She turned to her husband.

"Olivia had already told me that,’ she said."Let's do this for her.In my opinion, Leonard is indeed not a good match for her…”

If only Leonard had treated Olivia better, her parents would not have been so prejudiced against their future son-in-law.

"Have you thought this through?" Langston asked earnestly, shocked.

"You won't regret it? Whether we like it or not is another matter.The most important thing is how you feel.Don't cancel the wedding for us.We don't want you to cry about it later"

"Absolutely not.Under her confident attitude, her parents finally nodded their heads.Many things had to be decided quickly in order to avoid long nights and dreams.

Therefore, the next morning, on the start of the weekend, Olivia's parents brought her to the Tubmans.

The Tubmans were a wealthy family in LC City, with a distinguished background.

Standing before their tall gates, Olivia's mood was hard to read.

In her previous life, she had fantasized about being a part of this family.

But the reality was harsh.

In her new life, apart from revenge, the thing she wanted to do the most was to cancel this marriage.

From now on, this connection was irrelevant.

Olivia and Leonard should better not interact with each other for the rest of their lives! Five years in prison was enough.

If she could, she would like to make Leonard taste all the hardships she had suffered back then.

She looked down, trying to conceal the hatred in her eyes.

Madam Sophie held her hand and walked in, following the Tubman family's butler.

The plants in the Tubman's manor were carefully trimmed inside and outside.

Mrs.Tubman was a plant lover, so the whole manor was filled with all kinds of flowers and grass.

Olivia remembered that when Mrs.Tubman celebrated her birthday last year, Olivia had gone to great lengths to acquire lots of rare flowers from abroad.

All the flowers had died because of poor care, and no one from the Tubman family had helped her out.

Thinking of the past, Olivia's demeanor gradually turned cold.

The butler, who was leading the way, turned around.

"Mr.and Mrs.Clements are here today to discuss the matters of the wedding?" His attitude was somewhat contemptuous.

When the engagement was made, it was agreed upon that when Olivia and Leonard reached adulthood, they would immediately hold a wedding and settle everything.

Although the engagement had been made long ago, the immediate perception was Olivia was impatient and could not wait to join the Tubman family.

She smiled unknowingly.

"I guess so” she replied casually.

'The cancellation of the wedding can also be considered to be a discussion of marriage, right?’ When they arrived at the manor, Mrs.Tubman was arranging flowers.

When she saw them enter, she immediately stood up and smiled.

"Ah, my future in-laws are here,’ she said.

"Great! Come, sit down!"

After saying that, she turned around and instructed the servant to quickly make tea.

Mrs.Tubman waved to Olivia.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, dear.”

Quick, come sit next to me.

Normally, Olivia would have done everything to please her.

But today, she just smiled politely at her.

"Hello, Auntie." She sat beside her mother.

Madam Enya patted her daughter's hand and made an opening remark.

"To tell you the truth, Mrs.Tubman, my husband and I came with our daughter to discuss an important matter."

"It's about Olivia and Leonard's marriage, isn't it?" Mrs.Tubman asked.

She turned to a servant.

"Oh, I completely forgot about it.Quick, bring me a calendar so we can decide what day we're having this event."

She smiled apologetically; after all, she was from an illustrious family.She should handle this matter with ease and elegance.

However, she did notice the awkward silence.

Olivia soaked it all in and found it absolutely funny.

As the saying goes, those who were in the situation were fascinated, and those who were watching it from the sidelines were amused.

In her previous life, she thought that Mrs.Tubman's seemingly friendly and intimate appearance were endearing she did not know that the old lady did not take her seriously at all.

‘How could my mother not see it?’ Olivia wondered.

"Mrs.Tubman, I think you misunderstood," Madam Enya said.

"We came here to cancel the engagement” it was so hasty that we didn't even think about the children's wishes.

Since their personalities are so different, maybe we should not force them into being married to each other

After she spoke, their driver walked forward and returned a small portion of the betrothal gifts from the Tubmans—including the old jade bracelet.

He laid it on the coffee table.

"This.."

Mrs.Tubman was completely stunned.

"What's wrong with my son's personality? Didn't Olivia always like Leonard? Why are you suddenly..."

She almost wanted to say that they were interfering.

However, when she saw Olivia, sitting upright on the sofa, her eyes were clear and bright.

Compared to her old self, the current Olivia was more clearheaded and logical! She was like a piece of plain jade; after a while, she had emitted light that was hers and hers alone.

Mrs.Tubman frowned.

In this arrangement, the Clements had always had the better share.

And even though Mrs.Tubman was somewhat annoyed with Olivia, she was convinced that the young woman would always stick to her son.

Even if the wedding was called off, she was not worried that Olivia would let Leonard go.

The Clements had cancelled the engagement, something that no one had expected.

Apart from Mrs.Tubman, who was still incredulous, Leonard stood in the shadows on the second floor, confused as to what just happened.
