Chapter 360
Julian Winston stood at the doorway holding a basin.
His eyes were wide open.
He looked like a complete fool.
Olivia Lopez and Sophia Sullivan both turned to look at him.
"Did it take that long to buy a basin?" Olivia took the basin from him and smiled at Sophia. "The water's ready. A wipe-down will make you feel better."
"Thanks, Vivi~ You're the best~"
"Then let me give you a kiss?"
"No way. I haven't washed my face yet. Can't dirty the goddess."
Olivia: "I don't mind."
"..."
Julian stood frozen in place: "?" Am I the third wheel here?
"This logo..." Olivia stared at the basin for a moment. "Don't tell me this is Hermès?"
"Of course!" Julian lifted his chin. "Good taste, right?"
Olivia: "..."
"What's that look for?"
"The look you give a sucker. They sell these for twenty bucks outside the hospital. You had to go to the boutique and get ripped off?"
"Ripped off? What are you talking about?"
"A fat sheep delivers itself to the door. You'd be a fool not to shear it."
Julian: "..."
"Let's just make do." Olivia shot the basin a disdainful glance.
All show and no substance. A plastic basin would have been better.
"Olivia Lopez! You told me to buy it! I go and buy it, and now you're picking it apart! This is the first time this young master has run an errand for someone, and you don't even appreciate—"
"Can you shut up? Young master?" Olivia smiled as she turned back to look at him.
Julian instantly fell silent.
Sophia blinked, looking from one to the other.
Hmm, this looks interesting!
Olivia: "Why are you still standing there?"
Julian: "...Or else what?"
"Get out!" So annoying.
The man noticed the towel in her hand and suddenly understood. "Oh! I'm going—"
He vanished in the blink of an eye.
Olivia: "Close the door—"
"Got it! Can't you be a little gentler?"
"Get lost—"
"..." He shouldn't have said anything.
The door closed. Olivia tested the water temperature. "Come on, little Clara~"
Sophia: "...Vivi, you've become bad."
"Huh? How am I bad?"
Sophia: "That rogue attitude is exactly like Julian Winston's."
"??"
...
When Olivia walked out of the hospital entrance, Julian's car was still parked by the roadside.
He stuck his head out and waved—
"Vivi! Over here!"
Olivia paused. "Why are you still here?"
"Waiting for you. Get in." He said it like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Who asked you to wait? Don't you have money to make instead of being so idle?"
"I've been waiting almost an hour. Can you do me this favor, princess?"
Olivia couldn't help but laugh. "Fine. I'll reluctantly let you drive me."
Julian was about to get out and open the door for her.
But Olivia had already pulled the door open herself and gotten in.
Julian: "..." Another missed opportunity.
The moment Olivia sat down, she heard a click.
The doors locked.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Julian. "What are you doing?"
"Hehe..." Julian leaned over and directly captured her lips.
His hand slipped under her sweater, skillfully undoing her bra clasp.
"Vivi... Vivi..."
He murmured her name between kisses.
His voice was gentle, but his actions were domineering, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Olivia pushed him away forcefully, her cheeks flushed, her breathing unsteady. "What's wrong with you? It's broad daylight. Get off."
The man looked unsatisfied. "Just a little longer..."
He pressed close again. "You've been with Sophia Sullivan these past two days. I missed you so much!"
"Missed me?" Olivia raised an eyebrow. "You're missing a word, aren't you?"
"Hehe, I missed sleeping with you. So what?"
He wrapped his long arms around her, pulling her into his embrace like a koala.
Olivia was long used to this behavior of his. She said flatly, "Young Master Gu has known countless women. Why are you still like a horny dog, ready to go at any moment?"
Julian's face darkened. "Who are you calling a dog?"
"You."
"..."
"Don't humiliate yourself next time. Getting insulted once wasn't enough, you had to ask for it again?"
"..."
"Olivia Lopez! That mouth of yours needs to be taught a lesson, doesn't it?! Let's see how I deal with you!"
"Hey, you— Mph!"
Julian smirked and directly sealed her lips.
The kiss was exceptionally long.
Olivia was almost out of breath, her face turning red from lack of air.
Julian refused to let go no matter what. It wasn't until Olivia bit the corner of his mouth, drawing blood, that she managed to break free.
"Are you a dog?" Julian hissed in pain.
Olivia unusually didn't retort.
She gasped for air, her cheeks completely red, her eyes moist, her lips slightly swollen.
Her gaze fixed straight ahead.
The man in the driver's seat, however, looked utterly satisfied, like a cat that got the cream.
Olivia didn't know how the two of them had ended up like this.
After that night of drunken passion, Olivia had decisively ended her collaboration with Julian.
She just hadn't found the time to tell her family yet.
As for Julian...
He had stormed out, slamming the door, and hadn't appeared for the next month.
Until—
Olivia accompanied her mother, Nina White, to a dinner engagement. Pushing the door open, she discovered Nina White had actually invited Julian's mother!
Song Peipei greeted her warmly the moment she saw her, even more affectionately than her own mother.
Olivia was just thinking of an excuse to escape when Julian suddenly burst in. Originally irritable, his expression instantly changed when he saw Olivia.
Then...
He enthusiastically greeted Nina White.
Calling her "Auntie" over and over, praising her for being "beautiful," "young," and "elegant."
He charmed Nina White utterly.
Two people who should have ended their relationship met again.
While their mothers were in the restroom—
Julian: "What a coincidence, huh?"
Olivia: "Indeed."
"So... you didn't tell them we 'broke up'?"
Olivia said calmly, "I was too busy and forgot. You didn't say anything either?"
If either of them had come clean, this dinner wouldn't be happening.
Julian: "What do we do now?"
Olivia shrugged. "Tell them the truth when they get back."
The man gritted his teeth.
