Chapter 687: Put Him in Another Woman's Bed
Little Nathan was awake. โNathan, are you okay? Donโt be afraid. Iโm here. Momโs here; no one can hurt you.โ Olive hugged the little boy and reassured him. Nathan nodded. โYeah, I trust you.โ
Clara smiled. โOlive, do you know where we found the Augustine little prince? In the childrenโs playground. He was sitting, staring at a woman and her son playing on the seesaw, laughing and talking. He seemed very jealous.โ
Oliveโs heart pounded. Nathan already knew his background and was jealous of other children because his mother hadnโt been with him. Olive held Nathanโs face, looked into his large black eyes, and said, word by word, โNathan, Iโm so sorry. Iโm three years late.โ
Nathanโs eyes quickly filled with tears. โMom, I miss you so much.โ
โYeah, I know. I miss you so much too, Nathan. But for the past three years, Iโve been sick and couldnโt come home.โ
โReally?โ Nathan immediately expressed concern. โMom, whatโs wrong with you? Are you okay?โ
โYes, I am. Iโll always come back for you, Nathan. You need to know that I love you so much. I love you more than my life.โ
Little Nathan hugged Olive tightly, burying his face in her chest and inhaling her scent. Heโd been afraid she only liked Levi and Ivy, but now he knew she loved him too.
โOlive, itโs fine. Iโve let you and your son be together for a while. Now, do me a favor,โ Clara urged impatiently.
Olive let go of Nathan. โNathan, donโt be afraid. Rest here. Iโll pick you up when itโs over, okay?โ
โYes, Mom. Go ahead,โ Nathan nodded obediently.
Olive left the room. Clara closed the door, then felt a cold gaze upon her. She saw Nathan watching her. He sat quietly on the bed, calm but with cold, sharp eyesโa look too intense for his age. Clara felt a shiver run down her spine. The three-year-old who had just wanted a hug had transformed, frightening her. The young Augustine prince was known to be exceptionally intelligent, and Clara felt a sudden, unpleasant premonition.
Olive looked at Clara. โClara, tell me. What do you want me to do?โ
Claraโs anger stemmed from the annual meeting party. The real and fake Olive situation had felt like a prank orchestrated by Elvis and Olive. She was no longer willing to be passive; she wanted to take the initiative.
โVery simple. Iโll let you and the little prince leave safely, but you must bring Elvis to my bed. Tonight, I must be his wife!โ
Oliveโs eyelashes fluttered; she had largely anticipated this.
โWhat, Olive? Donโt you want to?โ Clara raised an eyebrow.
Olive met Claraโs gaze. โOkay, I accept it.โ
Clara was surprised. โOlive, what are you trying to do?โ
Olive pursed her lips. โClara, you shouldnโt doubt me. If youโd kindly invited me to your โgame,โ I would have complied, but now youโre suspicious? Donโt tell meโฆyou canโt afford it.โ
โWho says I canโt afford it? Olive, when Iโm with Elvis, youโll be crying!โ
The Dearly Hotel, presidential suite. Olive texted, โCome to my room tonight, 8806.โ The message was sent. Olive stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, her long, butterfly-like eyelashes drooping.
Half an hour later, a knockโstrong and calm. Olive opened the door to find Elvis. He wore a handmade black shirt and trousers, exuding an air of cold indifference, majesty, and nobility. The dim light illuminated his handsome face. Elvis narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep. Olive felt a strange intensity in his eyes, a burning passion beneath the surface. Heโd been cruel last night, saying he couldnโt go back with her, but nowโฆ?
โCome in,โ Olive said.
Elvisโs gaze fell upon her. She was in a white, knee-length nightgown, her long legs visible, her bare feet white against the carpet. Noticing his gaze, her toes curled, revealing a hint of pink. She stepped aside. Elvis entered and closed the door.
โWant something to drink?โ Olive asked, turning.
But Elvis grabbed her waist, pulling her back against the wall. Olive looked at him, surprised. โWhatโs wrong with you?โ
Elvis squeezed her waist, burying his face in her hair, inhaling her scent. โYou invite me to your room at night and ask that? What are you doing?โ He smiled softly, his voice deep and masculine. Olive pressed against his chest, trying to push him away. Elvis untied her hair. Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, her face flushed, her eyes like the blue autumn lake water.
