Laura’s voice gradually became softer, but everyone at the table could hear her clearly.
Initially, Olivia didn’t want to get angry, but Laura was too rude. She had to educate her on behalf of her parents.
“First of all, I’m not officially married, but I’m someone Grandpa has set his eyes on, and I’m pregnant with the Ford family’s child. You should call me sister-in-law. Secondly, you have to apologize to the right person.”
Commander Ford was very satisfied with Olivia’s actions. He looked at Laura as if waiting for her reply. When he had heard Laura say that the two of them were not married, his expression immediately darkened.
Grandpa James’ expression frightened Laura so much that her face turned red. Even her words were a little shaky.
“S-Sorry, sis-in-law. It’s my fault.”
Only then did Olivia nod her head in satisfaction and become a mediator.
“Alright, Grandpa, let’s eat. The dishes are getting cold.”
As she spoke, she placed food into Commander Ford’s bowl. Only then did Brian eat the meat, filled with curiosity.
After the meal, Laura started to play tricks again.
“Sister-in-law, since you’re already pregnant with my brother’s child, you should be a good wife and not create any scandals with other men outside. It’s easy to cause misunderstandings.”
“Actually, you have to know that outstanding people are always dazzling no matter where they go. There’s nothing wrong with being attractive. The ones who are wrong are those who have ulterior motives.”
It had to be said that Olivia’s eloquence was truly admirable. Uncle Ford once again experienced what it meant to have a sharp tongue. Olivia’s words were not without reason. According to the surveillance investigation that day, Robert had been the one who had initiated a conversation.
Commander Ford nodded and told Brian, “You don’t even follow your own wife. Are you trying to leave an opportunity for others to take advantage of her?”
Brian was a little suspicious. Was this grandpa his biological grandfather? Why was he always siding with outsiders? This was clearly her fault. He was the victim in this matter.
Since Laura was here, Brian could not say much. He only had a cold expression on his face, as though someone owed him a lot of money. He did not answer the old man’s question; his silence was frightening.
Seeing that her words were effective, Laura became somewhat unrestrained.
“Sister-in-law is right, but I hope you can have more self-respect.”
Laura looked discreetly at Brian’s face. As expected, his face turned even colder.
Olivia felt a little helpless. Although Laura hadn’t tortured her much in her previous life, she was also one of the main culprits who had indirectly hurt her. When she thought about this, she didn’t have a good expression on her face.
“Miss Smith, are you such a nosy person? You have to interfere in other people’s family affairs and gossip. You’re already so old. Do you really need me to teach you the reason it’s not safe to go to a nightclub alone?
“To put it nicely, you’re still an unmarried virgin, but you’re still in a married man’s house now. This is called giving others trouble. To put it bluntly, you’re seducing a married man to have an affair.”
Olivia said all these in one breath without even taking a break. However, Brian did not hate her. Instead, he found this woman rather interesting.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be very protective of Laura.
“Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? I want you to apologize to Laura.”
There was no emotion in Brian’s words, which made Laura happy.
Olivia looked at Brian in disbelief, as though she had misheard. She waited for Brian to explain himself.
Brian did not even look at Olivia and coldly said, “Apologize!”
Immediately, a fake smile could be seen on Olivia’s face.
She couldn’t be bothered to continue patronizing him. She bid Commander Ford farewell and went to the second floor. When she entered the room, she smelled oil and smoke on her body, making her retch incessantly. The smell was simply too strong, forcing her to shower.
When Commander Ford saw his grandson like this, and he had even angered Olivia to go upstairs, he felt both anger and pity for his grandson.
“Oh you, when will you be more mature? Look at how muddled you are today. Why don’t you understand?”
It wasn’t that Brian didn’t understand, but he didn’t know why he did it either. Looking at her angry and upset face, Brian actually had a different feeling in his heart.
“Grandpa, rest early. I’ve had a long day, so I’m going to rest.”
Commander Ford did not dare to leave. He was afraid that Laura would cause trouble again and anger Olivia. She was still pregnant with Brian’s child. He had to protect her carefully and let Uncle Ford tidy up a room for Laura to stay in.
Brian came to the room and did not see Olivia’s figure. He only heard the sound of water in the bathroom. He actually had some expectations in his heart. Brian himself did not know what he was expecting.
Olivia comfortably took a hot bath. The water gave her a comfortable feeling and allowed her to relax.
Brian knocked on the door, indicating that he wanted to take a bath too.
“Wait. I’m almost done. Hold on.”
Just as she was about to put on her clothes, Brian came in. The mist surrounded her, making her look blurry. Her wet hair hung obediently behind her head, and her skin was so fair that it seemed to be glowing.
Olivia subconsciously covered her body.
Olivia’s ears turned pink, and her teary eyes widened.
“Brian, y-y-you… Why are you here?”
Her wet eyes looked over and caused Brian’s heart to tighten.
