Chapter 98
As soon as Reed learned that Olivia had woken up, he rushed upstairs and carefully examined her.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Olivia, Reed was finally relieved.
“Boss, what on earth did you do yesterday? You look so weak. I was really worried about you when I
saw how feeble you were this morning!”
Reed sighed with emotion as if Olivia had just survived a disaster.
“Nothing. Is there anything to eat? I’m a little hungry.” Olivia didn’t want Reed to ask anything further, so
she changed the subject directly.
“Uh, boss, we have enough food to eat, and it’s tasty. But there are too many people here…” Reed
sneaked a glance at William and then said mysteriously.
“Hmm?” Olivia was confused.
Olivia had finished with the IV and didn’t want to lie in bed anymore, so she put on a coat and went
downstairs with Ezra.
“Wow, it smells so delicious!” Just as Ezra had walked down the stairs, he smelled the scent of food in
the living room.
He hadn’t eaten anything since he had come back in the morning. At this time, his stomach began to
growl.
Therefore, when Ezra found that someone in the kitchen was preparing delicious food, he instinctively
wanted to go and have a look.
However, he suddenly halted his steps and held Olivia’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Olivia knew that Ezra was worried about her, so she bent down to pick him up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll
take you to see what delicious food they are cooking in the kitchen!”

Ezra looked a little reluctant to be carried in Olivia’s arms, fearing that he might hurt his mother’s sick
body. “Madam, I can walk on my own. Just put me down!”
“Don’t worry. Your mother has recovered!” Olivia kept Ezra in her arms and whispered in his ear.
Ezra was skeptical, but he stopped struggling and allowed Olivia to carry him to the kitchen.
When Olivia saw the scene in the kitchen, she was shocked.
She could see four or five well-trained cooks with aprons on working in the kitchen. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The long dining table in front of them was filled with nutritious dishes, one after another.
Even before tasting it, Olivia could tell from the aroma of the food that it must be an excellent feast.
When Ivan saw Olivia show up with Luci in her arms, he immediately stopped his work and went over
to her respectfully.
“Miss Clarke, lunch will be ready soon. This way, please.” Ivan attentively led Olivia to the dining table
while William, who was next to the table, pulled out a chair for her.
As for Ezra, he crawled to a seat beside Olivia and sat down. His eyes lit up as he looked at the dishes
he loved on the table.
“Did you arrange all of this?” Olivia raised her head slightly and glanced at the man beside her.
From her angle, she could see the man’s perfect jawline. The sunlight from outside shone on him, and
he looked as if he was glittering.
“Miss Clarke, it’s just home cooking. I don’t know if it’s to your liking.” William didn’t answer her
question. Instead, he seated himself beside her and put a steamed mussel on Olivia’s plate.
Olivia’s eyes were full of amazement as she looked at the mussel in front of her.
She pondered, “How did he know I like French mussels in white wine sauce?
“Moreover, it seems that this dish was cooked exactly how I like it…
Olivia’s heart was thumping in her chest.
She did not reply to William, but silently forked the mussel and took a bite.
“Tastes so good.
“It’s the same taste I used to love,” thought Olivia.
At this moment, she was overwhelmed by mixed feelings.

She remembered she had used to like French cuisine the most, so she had learned to cook it just for
William. This French mussels in white wine sauce was the first dish she had learned.
It was a pity that Olivia had been cooking every day, but William had never tried her cooking before
they parted from each other.
Olivia’s heart was filled with regret at that thought.
The taste of the mussel in her mouth instantly changed. It should be salty and succulent, but she felt a
trace of bitterness.
A burning teardrop fell onto the plate.
The sound of the tear shocked Olivia and also brought her back to her senses in an instant.
“It’s delicious. Thank you, Mr. Kinsman.”
“Miss Clarke, it’s good that you like it.”
William had been watching Olivia. Her teardrop firmly tugged at his heartstrings.
“I owe her too much!” William thought in distress.
Perhaps William felt too guilty to stay in Maple Villas, so he left with Marshall the instant he had
finished lunch.
He didn’t even bring Ezra back with him.
In the tranquility of the villa, Olivia stayed with Ezra for a long time to comfort him. When it was almost
evening, Ezra finally felt relieved and fell asleep.
Seeing that the little fellow had fallen asleep, Olivia took out her mobile phone and dialed Chelsea’s
number.
After the incident last night, Olivia found out that Chelsea had been stopped by a customer who had
suddenly come to her door and thus she had been delayed.
But Olivia felt that it was no coincidence.
“Hey, Liv, are you all right? I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. I thought you were in
danger. I was about to call the police!”
Chelsea’s voice was full of undisguised anxiety.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry. I caught the a**a**in last night.”
“Alas, if it weren’t for the sudden arrival of that difficult client last night, I wouldn’t have been late and
put you at risk alone…” Chelsea was full of regret. That place had been chosen by her, but she hadn’t
expected that Liv would come across an a**a**in there.
“Who the hell did it? If I find out, I’ll sew his face up with a sewing machine!” Chelsea cursed in her
heart.
“Well, if you had been there last night, I’m afraid all three of us would have died there!” Olivia bluntly
expressed her worries.
“Three of us? Who else did you make an appointment with last night?” asked Chelsea curiously.
“William was also there.”
“Hey, Liv, you brought your ex-husband to the rendezvous with your bestie? I didn’t know you had such
a kink!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. He just happened to be pa**ing by yesterday. Well, he also saved me…”
“What? William saved you again? Liv, are you sure he’s not into you?”
“So what if he is? When he finds out my true identity, he’ll only think he’s blind to have saved me!”
“Liv, how can you be so sure that he doesn’t know who you are?”
Chelsea’s words were meaningful.
Olivia tightened her grip on the phone. Her knuckles even began turning white.
“If he knew, he wouldn’t have saved me.”
As Olivia spoke, her heart seemed to sink into the depths of the sea, making her breathless.
