Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

Chapter 35: I Will Wait for the Day You Fall For Me

"...Only then did I find out that there was someone orchestrating it all behind the scenes. To prevent

such things from happening again and to prevent them from targeting you, I didn't contact you for the

past two months."

His narration was delivered in a light manner, and his tone was very calm.

But to Gwenda, his words were shocking.

"So, he wasn't trying to make a fool of me by disappearing for two months, but he was trying to protect

me by investigating the true cause of the fire.

If that was the case, doesn't that mean that the last two months had been particularly stressful for

him?"

With that thought, Gwenda's anger dissipated and she frowned.

Olivier did not miss the shift of expression on her face, and he smiled faintly. "I've put in a lot of effort in

order to find out the masterminds behind the incident and almost got hurt in the process. I'm sorry for

not taking your feelings into account for the past two months."

"You got hurt?"

Gwenda asked worriedly without thinking.

Hearing that, Olivier's smile grew. He chuckled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

...

Gwenda was instantly rendered speechless as she realised that she had been tricked once again. Her

ears burned red with embarrassment as well as a fair amount of annoyance.

"It's fine. They're all minor injuries."

Olivier stopped teasing her and soothed her with a smile instead. "So, are you still angry?"

Gwenda glared at him but said nothing.

Although she accepted his explanation, Gwenda still felt miffed. At the same time, she was distressed

by his experience when she recalled how worried she had been and did not know what to say in return.

Even after the dishes had arrived, she did not say anything.

Olivier had been observing the little shifts in her expression. Seeing that she has no inclination to

speak, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are my things still there?"

"What things?"

Gwenda asked without looking up as she struggled with cutting the steak on her plate.

Seeing this, Olivier cut up his own steak and passed it over to her and took Gwenda's plate as his own.

"The things I left at your house, of course."

"Oh, those? I threw them out a long time ago." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Gwenda's hand movements stuttered momentarily before she continued eating her steak like nothing

had happened. Her tone was completely nonchalant.

Noticing her hand movements, a hint of a smile flickered briefly through Olivier's eyes as he asked, "Is

that so?"

"Yeah, you left. Why should I keep them?"

Although Gwenda said that, her eyes did not meet Olivier's.

It was a classic representation of guilt.

Olivier's smile grew bigger than ever as he said, "No problem, I'll just buy new ones."

"What?"

Gwenda paused in the middle of eating her steak and looked up at him in astonishment. "You still want

to move in?"

"Of course."

Olivier said confidently.

Gwenda frowned and said sternly, "Mr. Petit, that's my home, not a place where you can move in

whenever you please. What's more, your wounds are all healed. Why do you still need to move in?"

"To get to know each other better."

Olivier's eyebrow went up for a second as he spoke in a serious tone of voice.

"Oh, not again..."

Gwenda thought in dismay as she facepalmed. She said reluctantly, "Mr. Petit, I feel that we've got to

discuss this matter properly."

This time, Olivier did not dodge the topic and nodded solemnly. "Very well, what would you like to

discuss?"

"You said you liked me before. Now that two months have gone by, do you still think the same way?"

Gwenda asked bluntly.

Olivier nodded. "Yes, I do."

Pursing her lips, Gwenda asked, "What if I don't like you?"

"I can wait. I'll wait until the day you fall for me."
