Chapter 17 Olivia wandered the streets for over an hour , picking up a few local trinkets to bring home as gifts . It was already dinnertima , and she was about to find place to eat when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her That person came out of nowhere , and before she could react , she bumped right into him . Her lindy stumbled tuck uncontrollably as she was about to fall , an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her forward . She fell into a broad , solid chest . Heat radiated through the thin fabric , and the faint scent of fresh grass lingered at the tip of her nose . Olivia's heart skipped a beat . She quickly came to her senses and tried to pull away , but the man's aim felt like steel , locking her soft body tip tightly against his Erm chest . Olivia pressed both hands against his chest and gave a push , but it didn't budge him . Frustrated , she looked up . The moment she saw that familiar , handsome face , the anger that had just flared up vanished instantly , No matter how many times she saw Julian , Olivia still couldn't help but he stunned by his looks, Today , Julian looked even hotter than before . His hair was brushed back neatly and cleanly . His eyebrows seemed to have been groomed , giving him a sharper , more commanding look . Everything about him was the same as before , yet more refined in every way. He wore a white shirt , the kind made of thin , soft fabric . Even through the shirt , Olivia could clearly feel the contours of the muscles beneath her palms " Feels good ? " Julian's amused voice came from above her head . Olivia nodded . " Not bad . " She thought , ' Well , since he already caught me ogling him , might as well cop a feel while I'm at it . I mean , I'm the one sponsoring him . " Sure , I haven't actually paid him yet , but that's beside the point . What matters is , I'm gonna get labeled a thirsty cougar , I might as well act like one Olivia's hands lingered briefly on Julian's chest before slowly sliding up to cup his cheeks . "Since we're abroad now , we should follow local customs . " Julian looked puzzled . " What customs ? " " The kind where people k kiss for no reason , " Olivia said . She stood on tiptoe , hooked her arms around his neck , pulled him down slightly , and gave him a quick peck on the lips . As they parted , Olivia's lips brushed up to his left ear and she whispered , " You look so fine today . Stay with me tonight . " Her warm breath graced his ear , and Julian's heartbeat spiraled out of control . Olivia quickly stepped out of his arms with a soft laugh . " I'm starving . Let's eat first . She then turned and started walking ahead . Julian caught up within seconds , grabbed her hand , and slowly pried her fingers open one by one , Lacing their fingers tightly together . Olivia turned to glance at their clasped hands , then looked up at him . Julian said with a straight face , " It's crowded out here . We should hold hands so you don't get lost . " Olivia didn't say anything . She figured they'd already crossed more intimate lines than this . Holding hands was nothing at this point . She chose a fondue restaurant . Julian didn't seem all that hungry . He kept filling her plate but barely touched his own . Eating alone felt awkward , so Olivia started feeding him between bites of her own . Julian's eyes twinkled with amusement . He looked like he was in a really good mood . 1/3 Toward the end of their meal , Dylan and Chloe walked past the restaurant hand in hand . Dylan's gaze swept casually across the restaurant , and his eyes suddenly caught on a familiar figure . He looked close - it was Devia She had changed her outfit and done her makeup . She looked like she'd stepped straight out of a dream , For a moment , Dylan was completely diced The next second , he saw Olivia pick up a piece of meat and offer it to Julian who sat across from her . Julian took the bite straight from her fork like it was the most naturally thing in the world . Olivia gave him a smile , then pulled out a napkin and wiped his mouth for him . Dylan stared at the scene , dumbfounded , rage bubbling up inside him . He thought , Olivia really went and got herself a lover ? How dare she ! " Babe , why'd you stop ? " Chloe tugged hard on his arm , She called out a few times , but Dylan didn't seem to hear a word . It was like he'd gone deal . Desperate to get his attention , she shook his arm with more force . Dylan finally came back to his senses and yanked his hand away roughly , striding toward the restaurant entrance By the time he made it inside , Olivia and Julian had already paid the bill and left through the other door Dylan rushed back out to the street , but the crowd outside was thick . All he could see was a sea of heads - no sign of Olivia arrywhere . Frustrated , he clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the nearby glass door . " Babe . Ow ! " Chloe cried out . She had just caught up to him , but before she could get close , Dylan suddenly punched the door The impact was so strong , the glass shattered on the spot . As shards came crashing down , one of them flew out and sliced Chloe's arm . Clutching her bleeding wound , Chloe trembled from the pain . Dylan wanted to rush into the crowd to look for Olivia , but Chloe grabbed his arm first , crying as she asked , " Babe , who are you even looking for ? My arm's hurt . Don't you care about me at all ? " get hurt ? Can you just call a cab and go to the Dylan turned around and finally noticed Chloe's injury . His brows furrowed in frustration . " How did you get hu hospital yourself ? " Help me handle this mess with the glass door first , and I'll pay you back later when I get back . " As he spoke , he tried to brush her off , his head filled with nothing but the urge to catch Olivia in the act Chloe stared at him in disbelief . " What did you just say ? I'm bleeding , and you're telling me to go to the hospital alone and deal with compensation by myself ? " Who did you even see ? is it really that important to chase them down right this second ? Is finding that person more important than taking me to the hospital ? " Dylan's eyes kept scanning the crowd , and without thinking , he said , " I saw Olivia . I need to talk to her . " He hadn't even seen Jullian's face just now , Julian had his back to him the whole time . Ever since Dylan first made a false police report and had the cops raid Olivia's hotel room and arrest her , every attempt he made after that to get the police to help him find her was turned down The police even warned Dylan not to file any more bogus reports . So if he wanted to find Olivia now , he'd have to do it himself . Chloe was shaking with anger . " So what , Olivia matters more to you than i do ? Fine . Go find her then . Forget about my injury . Let me bleed . I'm not even in pain because my heart hurts more . " Chapter 17 She yanked her hand out of his and burst into louder sola . Dylan suddenly snapped back to his senses . Не turned and saw Chloe's teal streaked face . Guilt surged through him . " I'm sorry . Let's go . I'll take you to the hospital right now ," he said . Chloe kept her eyes lowered , saying nothing , just silently sobbing the whole time . now . Of course you're the most important person to ma . Dylan paid for the broken glass , then flagged down a cab and took Chlon to the hospital . On the way , he kept calling Olivia , over and over again , but she never picked up . Chloe turned her head slightly and saw Dylan dialing Olivia's number again and again , Her jaw clenched in fury . She thought , ' It's Olivia again . What the hell did she do to him ? What kind of spell did she put on Dylan to make him suddenly care about her this much ? Ө
