Chapter 233
'Yes. I miss you dearly.'
'Yes. I miss you dearly.'
Shawn stopped replying to my message, but I assumed he was happy with my reply. Such a man like him would
hide his emotions no matter what, making him difficult to please. However, after tonight, I finally knew that he
loved to hear me saying sweet things to him. Judging by the fact that he felt that I was being too clingy but still
obliged my mannerisms, he was exactly like the saying, 'still water runs deep'.
I huffed in amusement when I saw his lack of response. Then, I placed my phone aside and went to bed. When I
woke up, I changed into my formalwear and headed out. Anthony was already waiting for me downstairs. When he
heard that I was going to Goldshore, he asked if I would go there by airplane or car.
Since I was going to Finland from Goldshore tomorrow, it would be inconvenient to take the car. Hence, I requested
Anthony to take a helicopter from the Xenos' Residence to fly to Goldshore. I also didn't forget to ask him to
prepare the exit visa and entry permit to Finland.
He obliged and left to make the necessary arrangements. After some time, the Xenoses sent a helicopter over.
When I arrived at Goldshore, I called Olivia, who gave me an address. Then, the helicopter landed behind the local
hotel. As I finally took a good look around my surroundings, I found her standing there waiting while a handsome
man was beside her, which I assumed was the doctor Olivia had been talking about.
Olivia was right. His eyes were beautiful. A man who had beautiful eyes couldn't have a terrible personality. With
that thought in mind, any worry I felt for her felt lighter after finally seeing the doctor with my own two eyes.
When I hopped off the helicopter, I called out to Olivia, and she rushed over and gave me a bear hug. "Thank you
for attending my wedding," she said softly.
When I heard her words, I raised my hand and patted her back as I smiled. "It's nothing. Have May and the others
arrived yet? How many bridesmaids do you have?"
Finally, she released me and started explaining, "We invited six bridesmaids and groomsmen according to Will's
suggestion. Aside from you three, the rest are the younger generation from his family."
I hummed in response and looked at the doctor, who had remained silent throughout our conversation. When Olivia
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnoticed my gaze, she wrapped her arms around the man's arm and introduced us, "Will, this is Renee, the one I told
you about! Renee, this is William Acree. Most people called him Dr. Will, so you can call him that too."
"Hello, Dr. Will," I reached out my hand and said politely.
William shook my hand and replied, "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Felix. I have always wanted to meet you since Olivia
constantly brought you up."
"She talks about you all the time too." I chuckled.
William's lips curled into a smile as he gestured, "Let's head inside."
Soon, I followed Olivia to her room. She told me that William would be leaving for now. Then, he'll bring her to the
Olson Residence tomorrow morning.
"When will May and the others be arriving?" I asked.
"In the afternoon, I suppose. Christopher will be here too."
"Didn't he come earlier?" I inquired with a tilt of my head.
"Christopher has a concert in Ashere in the morning. So, he'll be here after the concert ends. You can't blame him
for it since I told him I was getting married out of the blue. Hence, he wasn't able to change his schedule in time,"
she explained.
I nodded lightly and murmured hesitantly, "What about Nicholas?"
Frankly, I was terrified of seeing Nicholas, especially without Shawn.
"He won't be attending my wedding," her voice was filled with disappointment.
"Not even your wedding?" I blurted in surprise.
"He has something urgent to handle in America."
Is he getting his illness treated in America? Is he getting better? Now that I think about it, he has never caused any
trouble for me recently.
When I heard that Nicholas wouldn't be arriving, I breathed a sigh of relief and caressed Olivia's cheek. "Is it tiring
being pregnant?"
"It's nothing I can't handle," she replied with a shake of her head.
When she said this, she looked somewhat bothered. Nevertheless, I figured it wasn't any of my business, so I didn't
pay it any mind. Therefore, I chatted with her briefly before I quietly left and walked around the hotel.
During my stroll, Anthony and the other three bodyguards followed behind me. Each of them had a transparent
headset by their ears. When I thought about the looks I might get if we went to a slightly more populated area and
instructed, "We are standing out too much. We don't need so many bodyguards."
I recalled that Olivia had told me William hailed from a scholarly family. Although they were wealthy, it was nothing
compared to us. Furthermore, his friends and family were all ordinary citizens, so bringing bodyguards to the
wedding wouldn't be appropriate!
When Anthony heard my words, he asked the bodyguards to leave and trailed behind me. After we went
downstairs, I saw William talking to some of his friends. He greeted me with a smile when he saw me, to which I
politely returned. Not long after, he walked toward me and said gently, "Olivia is an insecure but highly independent
woman. I always feel like she is hiding something from me."
"Are you asking me what she is hiding?" I asked knowingly.
"I feel like you know something," William replied and didn't bother concealing his intentions.
I gave him a once-over and noticed that he was handsome. Based on what I have heard about him, he seemed to
be a perfect match for Olivia. It didn't hurt that he truly cared about her and treated people fairly. In conclusion, he
seemed like a nice guy.
Thus, I gave him an honest answer, "I'm not quite sure, but I assume she's acting odd due to her pregnancy. Most
pregnant women have mood swings."
Olivia used to have a one-track mind with Christopher as her fairytale prince, but that was in the past. Since she
was getting married, I'm no longer sure about that.
"Pregnant?" William gasped and looked utterly bowled over.
"Don't you know about it?" I furrowed my brows in confusion.
"I'm sorry. I just learned about it from you."
"You are going to be her husband and the father of her child, yet…"
"Ms. Felix, I have never slept with Olivia."
I didn't know how the conversation ended. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already frantically
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrushing over to Olivia's room. I wanted to ask her about it but didn't know how. However, I couldn't in good
conscience allow such a trainwreck to happen without getting my facts straight. The instincts that I had as a big
sister were practically screaming in concern!
I paced back and forth before finally mustering my courage to ask Olivia, who was putting on lipstick, the truth
behind this wedding. When she heard me, she was stunned and exclaimed, "Will knows?"
"Who is the father of the child? Is William a backup? Is that why you can't wait to get married?" I drowned her with
questions.
Unfortunately, she was unwilling to come clean and only gave me a perfunctory answer, "Stop asking, Renee. I will
explain things to him later."
"William has left the hotel," I said and refused to look at her.
All that greeted me was silence.
…
At 3.00PM, May and Emma arrived, along with the rest of the bridesmaids. It seemed like William was still going to
continue with the wedding.
Ever since I had asked Olivia about the truth behind her pregnancy, she kept fidgeting. Then, at nighttime, she
finally gave William a call under my piercing glare, asking to meet up.
"You can see me tomorrow," William comforted her.
"I want to see you now, Will."
William didn't insist and merely said gently, "Okay. I'll be at the hotel later." He was pampering Olivia.
When she hung up the phone, I told her honestly, "He is going to be your husband. If you love him, you should treat
him well. I'm not criticizing you, Olivia. It's just that I hope there won't be any misunderstandings between you two
and you'll have a healthy marriage. That's all I want for you."
She told me that she loved William, and I believed her. I trusted that she had given up on Christopher. That was why
I genuinely didn't want her to lose this man who loved her, too.
As Olivia kept her phone away, she lamented sadly, "There are many things you are forced to do in life, Renee. I
wanted to refuse him, but he is my… I know he is going through a hard time."
Who is Olivia talking about?!
