After Flash Marriage, I Found That My Husband Is A Billionaire

chapter 44 Mrs. Si is used to it

Olivia twitched the corners of her mouth. An exasperation replaced the sternness on her face.

She thought, "How could Xavier be C? I must be overthinking this."

C was the person who spent tens of millions to buy Zoey's information off the dark web.

From last year to now, he focused on Zoey, trying to locate her.

Usually, if the person really needed Zoey to save someone, Olivia would not sit by and watch.

But the problem was that C came from the Si Family of Jing Cheng.

As the most prominent family in Jing Cheng, the Si Family had a complex background that exceeded Olivia's imagination.

She also discovered that C was looking for her urgently because he needed her to treat Old Mr. Si.

The old man was once a powerful and influential big shot and had been the head of the Si Family for many years.

Now that he had fallen, the Si Family was in a mess.

The internal power struggle for the position of head of the family and the eager eyes of external enemies had turned the Si residence into one of the most dangerous places in the country.

Olivia had always lived her life easily, cherishing it and not wanting trouble to seek for her.

She knew she would pose a threat to many people's interests if she showed up to treat Old Mr. Si now.

Then, not only would chaos come her way, but Olivia's life might even be in danger.

In Olivia's opinion, all of that for a mere tens of thousands of dollars was not worth it.

She wasn't afraid of the Si Family; she didn't want to create trouble out of nothing.

At least, before Sofia recovered, she only had her mind on treating Sofia. Every other thing came second to that.

Therefore, Olivia never accepted C's invitation. She rejected him every time he made an offer.

But C was also a stubborn man. Even though she refused to entertain him, he never gave up. Instead, he kept track of her whereabouts and followed her around the world, wanting to catch her.

For more than a year, the two of them had faced off dozens of times, and they always ended up in a tie.

Their strengths matched each other equally, and no one gained the upper hand.

Olivia's only strength over C was that he had never caught her.

But overall, C was the most difficult and powerful opponent Olivia had ever needed to handle.

"Charmed by me?" Xavier smiled and raised his hand to pinch Olivia's face, but Olivia dodged his hand quickly.

Olivia rolled her eyes at him. "Mr. Si, you have gone overboard with your narcissism."

Xavier chuckled and retracted his hand without any embarrassment. He said casually, "That's because Mrs. Si spoiled me. I'm brimming with confidence currently because I got to marry a talented wife like Mrs. Si!"

Olivia was rendered speechless by his words.

She thought, "He's such a smooth talker. I'm sure he goes around flirting with different women!"

"Heh! You are so good at flirting. You should marry a rich woman!" Olivia laughed dryly with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"I've found her already." Xavier smiled coquettishly, and a radiance appeared on his gorgeous face.

Xavier looked positively glowing. There was a radiance that emitted from his body, stunning Olivia, and she was unable to look away.

Xavier took the opportunity to lean into Olivia's ear, exhaled a soft breath, and said with a charismatic and seductive voice, "You are my life's greatest wealth!"

Thump! Thump!

Olivia's heart began to beat uncontrollably again. She couldn't breathe, her mind went blank, and her chest heaved violently as if Xavier's soft yet domineering words had taken away her soul.

Just then, the nurse returned from shopping and pushed open the ward door. She saw this scene and was so frightened that she retreated two steps and hurriedly explained with a flushed face. "I'm… sorry, Ms. Xia. I didn't see anything."

Then, she slammed the door shut and quickly fled the scene while blushing.

Olivia pushed Xavier away embarrassingly and glared at him fiercely with a warning in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, when she lifted her eyes, she saw Xavier snickering. Olivia was so frustrated that she stated, "Don't do this kind of thing to me in public in the future..."

After saying that, she added, "Don't forget! We are pretending to be husband and wife only!"

Olivia no longer had much expectations for men after her relationship with Steven ended.

To be precise, she was used to working hard alone and had never thought of relying on someone else over the years.

Her only expectation for Steven was to settle down with him after she returned to the country. Then, she would put the hectic life behind her, enjoying the man's tenderness, care and affection for her so that he could heal her wounded heart. Together, they would spend their peaceful and simple life.

Steven used to be really lovely to Olivia. His gentleness was something that Olivia dreamed of in her man.

So when she returned home to his manipulations and betrayal, it was like a double blow to her.

She mused, "We used to be so innocent and in love, and everything changes after a few years."

Besides, Tyrone and Sofia were a cautionary example to her. They used to be in love, too. But in the end, their relationship crumbled after many years and with the meddling of a third party.

Olivia, who initially didn't have much expectations for relationships, had no desire to be in one.

Therefore, her marriage to Xavier was impulsive and a choice based on her emotions.

But this man she chose randomly and rashly was now messing with her heart.

This was not a good sign as Olivia didn't want to mess up her plan in life because of Xavier.

So her attitude toward Xavier now was not only to remind Xavier but also to warn herself.

Meanwhile, Xavier thought, "I can't do this to her in public, so does that mean I can continue with my actions in private, when there is no one else around us?"

Xavier smiled, unperturbed by Olivia's attitude. He replied, "Your wish is my command, Mrs. Si."

Olivia didn't know how to respond.

When the nurse came back, Olivia made sure that Sofia was okay and arranged for a few more people to protect her before leaving the hospital in Xavier's car.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night.

Olivia, who worked on the surgery for most of the day, was exhausted. She started to feel sleepy as soon as she got into the car.

Xavier seemed to notice that she was tired, so he raised the temperature in the car. He said in a charismatic voice tinged with a softness. "Rest if you are tired."

Olivia coughed and forced her eyes to widen, "I'm not tired."

The current story that Olivia told others was that she had slept for seven to eight hours in the changing room after being knocked unconscious, so it was impossible that she was fatigued.

Even if her eyes were on the verge of closing, Olivia couldn't tell Xavier she was tired.

Xavier glanced at her. He said nothing as he drove silently.

In order not to show her tiredness, Olivia started finding topics to chat about.

"Are you looking for Zoey Xue?" Remembering what Xavier had said on the phone outside the ward, Olivia turned to look at him lazily.

Xavier didn't hide it from her. He nodded. "Yes."

"Why are you looking for her?" Olivia regretted it as soon as she asked the question.

"Zoey is a doctor! So he is obviously looking for her because he is seeking medical treatment!"

So, to cover up the mistakes she made due to being too tired and not having enough brain power to function, Olivia promptly added, "Are you sick?"

Xavier controlled the steering wheel with one hand and gently placed his other arm on the car door next to him. A look of seriousness appeared on his charming face, "Not me." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

He didn't say anything further, waiting for Olivia to continue asking questions, and at the same time, he was thinking about how he should tell Olivia about this.

But after waiting for a long time and not hearing Olivia's voice, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you aware of Zoey's whereabouts?"
