Chapter 91: She Should Be Happy to Drive You
Following the meal, Old Whitaker ascended the stairs to take a rest.
Concerned about his well-being, Olivia followed him and checked on his condition before bidding farewell to everyone downstairs. Isaac, noticing the late hour, offered to take her home.
He kindly suggested, “It’s getting late, let me take you home.”
Olivia smiled appreciatively but politely declined Isaac’s offer, “No need, there are still guests here. You should entertain them.”
Hearing her response, Isaac respected her decision and simply replied, “In that case, be careful on your way. And don’t take my grandfather’s words to heart. He’s old and tends to worry about unnecessary things.”
Olivia smiled gratefully and turned to leave.
“It’s getting late, and I still have some work to finish. I won’t stay longer,” Victor stated, his gaze fixed on Olivia as she walked out of the villa, his voice tinged with intensity.
Emma became alert, sensing tension, and hastily excused herself, offering, “Actually, I’m leaving too. Let’s go together.”
Victor calmly refused her proposal. “No, we’re going different ways. I’ll go first.”
Without waiting for her response, Isaac turned and left without further ado.
Emma stood frozen in place, her expression stiff, watching his indifferent figure retreat.
Isaac couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He couldn’t understand why, since the dinner, he had sensed something unusual between Victor and those two women.
But he couldn’t figure out the reason.
“Emma?” Abigail called out, perplexed by Emma’s absent-mindedness.
Startled by her voice, Emma snapped back to attention and forced a smile, saying, “I also have some work to attend to. I won’t disturb you.”
Isaac and Abigail noticed her strangeness but didn’t pursue it. They exchanged a few pleasantries and saw her off.
Back at the villa, Isaac couldn’t help but ask his sister, “How did you know that Dr. Prescott has children?”
Abigail sneered, “During my previous dinner outing with Emma, I happened to see them together. Furthermore, I’m aware that she is Victor’s former spouse. It’s truly astonishing that she had the audacity to return!”
Upon hearing this, Isaac couldn’t help but feel astonished, but then slowly realized.
No wonder he had always felt something strange between Victor and Dr. Prescott.
Surprisingly, it was revealed that Dr. Prescott was the same woman from six years ago!NôvelDrama.Org © content.
After leaving the villa, Olivia got into her car and couldn’t help but feel unsettled, thinking about the conversation at the dinner table.
After sitting in the car for a while, calming her thoughts, she slowly started the car.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window twice.
Olivia turned her head in confusion, glanced at the figure outside, and immediately averted her gaze, pretending not to have heard.
The person outside persisted and knocked on the window twice more, even bending down to look inside.
Despite knowing that she couldn’t be seen from the outside, Olivia couldn’t help but feel a tightening in her heart. She hesitated but eventually rolled down the window and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Victor stood tall and composed by the car, raised an eyebrow at her words, and said calmly, “I didn’t drive here. If it’s convenient for you, could you give me a ride?”
While speaking, he extended his hand to open the car door.
Olivia didn’t react immediately, watching as he opened the door and settled into the passenger seat. “Let’s go,” Victor said in a leisurely manner after fastening his seatbelt.
Only then did Olivia, somewhat belatedly, regain her senses and reluctantly inquire, “What about your driver?”
Victor responded nonchalantly, stating, “It’s already late, and since we have a convenient ride available, there’s no need to trouble the driver to come over.”
Olivia fell silent for a moment before speaking again, “If I remember correctly, Miss Thornton hasn’t left yet. She should be happy to drive you.”
