chapter3028 Chapter Engagement Early
Olive propped her hand on the wooden planks of the tatami mat and slowly sat up, looking condescendingly into Shane’s eyes and said, “Has something happened to you recently?”
“You don’t really have something that you’re hiding from me, do you?” Olive looked at Shane and her complexion got serious.
“Why are you asking me these things for a good reason?” Olive’s gaze was too much and Shane became a little uncomfortable at being looked at and then averted his eyes.
“How could I be hiding something from you, don’t get your head in the clouds all day, just be happy.” Shane’s voice was very low, making Olive always feel a little off when she heard it.
“Are you sure it’s me who’s imagining things?” Olive said rhetorically as she gathered all the expression on her face and looked at Shane.
“How could I be imagining things if you weren’t getting weirder and weirder lately?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Maybe it’s because after spending time together, I realize that I like you a little bit more every day.” Shane laughed softly before reaching out to pinch Olive’s cheeks, then his hand snapped and Olive instantly fell into Shane’s arms.
With her ear pressed against Shane’s chest, she could only hear the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat, and couldn’t see the expression on Shane’s face.
Shane didn’t leave Olive’s apartment until after dark, and as she watched his car leave the neighborhood, the uneasy feeling in Olive’s heart grew stronger and stronger.
She turned around and walked to the sofa, looked at Maisie and said solemnly to her: “Can you help me make an appointment with Ocan, I have some things about Shane I want to ask him, recently his behavior is really too abnormal, I always feel that he has some things to hide from me.
Every time I ask he doesn’t say anything, the more this happens the more panic I feel in my heart, if I don’t know more, maybe my whole body will explode.”
After Olive finished speaking she just scratched her hair twice in agony.
“Okay, this matter is wrapped up in me, don’t think too much about it, have a good rest.” Maisie reached out her hand to pat Olive’s shoulder, then with some difficulty she stood up and slowly walked back to her room, holding onto the wall.
Now only Olive was left alone in the living room, she looked at the dim night color through the window and let out a long sigh, there was not a single star in the night sky tonight, and I’m afraid that tomorrow will be a dark and cloudy day.
After Maisie heard Olive’s words, she went back to her room and told Ocan about it. The next day, they met at a cafe, but Maisie was delayed and couldn’t go with Olive.
In the end, Arlo drove Olive to the cafe, and when the car drove past, the weather became dark and gloomy, as if there were dark clouds pressing down, although Olive was a little bit distressed, but did not think too much about it.
Waiting for her to get off the car, outside the pattering rain, like smoke and gossamer gently shrouded in their own faces.
The cold breath blew into her pores, Olive touched her goosebumps arms through her thin jacket, then put the handbag she was carrying on top of her head, and ran towards the cafe with big steps.
As she pushed open the door of the café and the sound of wind chimes came through, Olive hurriedly stood up, placed her handbag on the side and wiped the small raindrops on her body with her hand again.
She then raised her head and looked around the café, not realizing that Ocan had arrived earlier than she had, he was sitting in the corner with two cups of coffee in front of him.
Olive squeezed her handbag exactly what she felt towards his side of the room and sat down realizing that the coffee cup in front of Shane was already half empty, it looked like the man had been waiting for himself for a while.
“I’m really sorry to keep you waiting today.”
“It’s okay, I just got here too.” Ocan sat directly opposite Olive, a humble smile on his face, then he hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at Olive with some amusement and said, “What is the matter you want to ask me about today?”
Looking at people so open to the point, Olive simply didn’t get overly entangled, she put her handbag on the side and reached out her hand to hold her coffee cup.
Looking up at Ocan, she said seriously: “I always feel that Shane has been a little off lately, and I suspect that he is hiding something from me, but he refuses to tell me, so I asked you out to ask you if you are clear about this matter?”
Olive felt like she was even holding her breath a bit as she looked up and stared dead at Ocan, afraid that if she blinked she would miss the expression on his face.
Ocan seemed as if he had already expected the purpose of Olive asking herself out today, there was no surprise on his face, he just nodded and said to her in a serious manner, “It seems that he still hasn’t told you about this matter.”
As soon as his words hit the ground, Olive just felt like she was suffocating a little, Shane was really hiding something from her, she then moved forward a few more times and said quickly to Ocan, “He never would have said anything if he really wanted to hide it from me, so please still tell me what’s going on.”
Ocan, who was sitting across from Olive, suddenly became a little hesitant, and he had a few moments of difficulty on his face.
As his expression changed, Olive’s heart slowly sank to the bottom as well, and she always felt that what Ocan spoke next would be a bit too much for her to bear.
Ocan gently sipped a mouthful of coffee, then elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, then pursed his own lips and quickly said, “His and Cale’s engagement ceremony, which was officiated by my father, has now been moved up to next Monday.”
His words fell like a thunderbolt on Olive’s heart, and for a moment she was too shocked to speak.
Olive sat there with her hands trembling so much that she couldn’t even hold her coffee cup, she couldn’t tell what exactly she felt in her heart, as if she had taken a mouthful of butterflies, the bitterness slowly spreading in her heart, and there was no need for her to say anything else right now.
No wonder Shane has been behaving so erratically lately, all this may be within his arrangement, so reluctant to give up and rely on himself in order to pave the way for the final separation?
Is he really acquiescing to this fate and deciding to be separated from himself?
Olive is not even clear about how she actually walked out of the cafe, she numbly carried her handbag, staring at the ground, only to hear the sound of a camera ringing in the neighborhood from a distance.
