Chapter 126: He Is Willing to Support Me

What is going on? Did Alexander not find Olivia’s behavior excessive?

“Ms. Carter, you can’t even handle removing fish bones,” Georgina remarked politely, though her gaze subtly shifted toward Liam. Instead of displeasure, Liam’s face lit up with satisfaction. Georgina was stunned by the situation.

Olivia rested her chin on her hand, using her fork to poke at the fish Alexander had carefully deboned for her.

“Ms. Georgina, you’re still single, aren’t you?”

Georgina froze slightly, her eyes unconsciously drifting toward Alexander.

“I’ve been focusing on my studies and later went abroad for further education. After returning, I established my company, keeping myself busy. I wanted to grow strong enough to stand beside my future partner as an equal, rather than being a burden like a clinging vine.”

Unlike you, who couldn’t even eat without needing Alexander’s help!

Olivia acted as though she hadn’t heard the sarcasm in Georgina’s words.

“Well, that explains it.”

“Excuse me?” Georgina blinked.

Olivia took a bite of fish. “Ms. Georgina, you have always been single, so it’s natural that you wouldn’t understand the little dynamics of a married couple. Whether or not I can debone fish isn’t important. What matters is that Alexander is willing to spoil me.”

Georgina was left speechless.

“Sometimes, I really admire someone like Ms. Georgina. You’re a strong, independent woman who can thrive without a man. I’m not like you. I wasn’t born into a prestigious family. Growing up in the countryside, I didn’t learn much.” Olivia sighed, then looked at Alexander with a face full of adoration. “Thankfully, Alexander is willing to support me. Otherwise, I’d be in quite a bind.”

Alexander shot Olivia a glance.

In a bind? Who is the one confidently insisting on divorcing me not long ago?

Georgina’s earlier attempt to present herself as a capable and independent woman to earn the Wilson family’s admiration was completely undermined. Olivia’s words nearly made her choke.

What does she mean by Alexander supporting her? Is she flaunting or insinuating that I’m undesirable?

Throughout the meal, Georgina found the food tasteless as she watched Olivia deftly command Alexander to serve her dish after dish.

Although Alexander said nothing, he didn’t show his usual indifference or annoyance. Instead, he indulged Olivia’s behavior!

Even Liam didn’t reprimand Olivia. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy the interaction, even going so far as to assist Olivia by instructing Alexander to serve her. This completely shattered Georgina’s understanding of the dynamics.

After picking at her food, Georgina, who originally planned to stay at the Wilson residence overnight, abruptly decided to leave.

Today, Olivia seemed like a completely different person. She needed time to process everything that had happened.

“Ms. Georgina, are you leaving already?” Olivia asked, watching her rise from her seat.

“Yes, I have some matters to attend to at home.” Georgina forced a smile.

Olivia immediately got up, grabbing Alexander’s hand. “Darling, let’s see Ms. Georgina off together.”

Georgina seethed with anger beneath her composed exterior. There’s no need for that!

Ignoring the resistance in Georgina’s eyes, Olivia cheerfully held Alexander’s hand and escorted her out the door.

Once Georgina’s figure disappeared from the Wilson Mansion’s grounds, Olivia’s smile vanished. She immediately released Alexander’s hand and stepped back three paces, creating a noticeable distance between them.

It was as if the person who had been so openly affectionate earlier wasn’t her at all.

Alexander frowned slightly, watching the unpredictable woman before him.

“Don’t worry,” Olivia said with an air of righteousness. “What I told you earlier is true. I have no intention of clinging to you. I only acted that way to keep Mr. Liam happy. You wouldn’t want him to get upset, would you?”

Without waiting for his response, Olivia turned and walked back into the mansion.

Under the night sky, Alexander’s gaze lingered on Olivia’s decisive retreating figure, the warmth of her hand still faintly lingering in his palm.
