Reborn Wife

Chapter 13

She caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.

It was a familiar scent...

Olivia raised her head in shock.

She would never be tired of seeing the handsome face of Bruce Tucker.

"What are you..."

Olivia trailed off, but Bruce covered her mouth the next second.

He puts finger to his lips, bent down, and approached her.

Olivia nodded.

Outside the debris room, Mr.Tubman looked around and did not see anyone.

He saw a black kitten, only then did he return to what he was doing, this time closing and locking the door.

Olivia heaved a sigh of relief.

If she had been caught, it would have been really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Bruce had pulled her.

She was about to express her gratitude when Bruce shook his head and leaned closer to her ear.

"If we go out now, we'll be discovered,’ he said in a low voice.

There was only a wall between them and Mr.Tubman.

‘The Tubmans are rich—how could they not afford to give their servants a better place to live in?’ Olivia thought.

The sound insulation in the room was poor, and she could hear every tiny noise from the next door; although she had never done that, it was evident what the people next door were doing.

Olivia's face instantly turned red.

She was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

It was precisely because she was completely embarrassed that she had not noticed that Bruce was hugging her.

The junk room was small, and the two of them were extremely close.

Their heartbeats could be clearly heard.

And Olivia could still smell him...

Bruce lowered his head and saw that Olivia's soft hair was hanging on his arm.

There was also that exquisite red face...

He suddenly had the urge to tease her.

"What kind of luck do you have?" he asked, his voice low.

"You're in trouble everywhere’ When Olivia heard this, she almost wanted to cry.

She was first confronted by Leonard, and then Eleanor blocked her.

Those two siblings were simply her nemeses.

They bothered her so much that she had wandered around the garden without a place to go, only to encounter something like this...

As Olivia thought about it, she suddenly looked up and raised her brow.

"What about you?" he asked Bruce doubtfully.

"Why are you here?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"I just happened to pass by.

"Just passing by?"

Olivia's face was filled with suspicion.It was Bruce's turn to raise his eyebrow.

"As Leonard's uncle, is it that strange for me to be here?"

He had a point, so Olivia nodded.

She had forgotten that Bruce was connected to the Tubmans.

His presence here had also saved her from embarrassment.

This was all too much! Of course, Bruce would never say anything, but he had followed Olivia all the way here...

For no other reason, he just wanted to see what surprises this girl had in store for him.

As expected, listening to the sound coming from the next room, he was really surprised.

Olivia sincerely apologized, "Sorry for following you that time."

She had only dressed Bruce's wounds that time in the woods.

Even without her help, the Tuckers would have arrived quickly anyway, and he would have been fine.

But she had an ulterior motive, and in exchange, she had Bruce repeatedly rescue her.

"Don't mention it."

Bruce's chuckle was his only response to her apology.

The two of them remained silent for a moment, but the temperature in the cramped and narrow junk room slowly rose...

In the next room, the sounds became louder and louder.

Olivia was at a loss as she awkwardly looked up at Bruce.

She discovered that the man had been looking at her this entire time.

His dark eyes gazed deeply into hers, his pupils were like a starless night sky.

Staring at them made her heart beat wildly.

Only then did she realize that she was in his arms.

Their posture was much too intimate and awkward.

Olivia panicked and wanted to retreat, but the sound of a door opening made her stop.

She did not dare make a sound; she could only stay in his arms, unable to move.

"Wait a moment longer’ Bruce whispered in her ear.

"He'll be leaving soon."

However, with this sentence, Olivia's ears turned red.

The two of them were already very close, and Bruce's low voice was not helping matters.

Olivia could even feel the heat spreading on her neck, her heart thumping more quickly now.

A few minutes later, another servant's voice came from outside, searching for Mr.Tubman.

They could hear him putting on his clothes, and the door slammed again.

Mr.Tubman finally left.

I can finally get out!’ Olivia rejoiced.

She heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stepped out of Bruce's embrace.

"Thank you, I...I'm leaving first"

She was in Tubman territory; if anyone saw her clinging to Bruce, they would not be able to explain it correctly.

Olivia fled as fast as she could.

Bruce was still standing there.

After a long while, he slowly laughed.

That girl smelled so good.

After Olivia deliberately dawdled for half an hour before returning to the main hall, she saw that her parents had already made an agreement with the Tubmans.

They got up and said goodbye.

When they returned to the car, Olivia was a little excited.

She could not help but ask, "Mom, Dad, how is it? Did they agree?"

Mr.Langston and Madam Enya looked at each other with hesitation.

Olivia's heart skipped a beat.

"Mom, Dad, please talk.What exactly is going on?"

"They have agreed to cancel the engagement, but there's a deadline.’ Mr.Langston sighed.

"It will last for a year, and if you still insist on canceling the engagement after that, then that's what will happen"

Olivia had never expected such a result.

None of the Tubmans liked her.

‘Shouldn't they be happy to see me take the initiative to call off the wedding?’ she wondered.

‘Why are they still giving me an extension of a year?’ Mr.Langston smiled bitterly.

"I know you've made your decision this time” he said, "but there's no other way.The Tubmans have a big business, and they won't even hesitate to use any means to block me in the business world..."

It was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to agree.Olivia nodded and turned her head to comfort him.

"It's fine.Isn't it just a year? I can wait.It would not take that long.” In her previous life, almost half a year later, Leonard's true love would appear.At that point, there would be no need for her to plot anymore;

Leonard would betray his own family and cancel the wedding himself for the sake of his beloved woman.

‘We'll just wait and see!”
