CHAPTER 522: YOUR HUSBAND WILL SOLVE IT FOR YOU

“Yes,” Alan said confidently.

“But I want to sleep now. How?” Olive began to play around.

But she didn’t expect that Alan would easily agree, “Sure. Get some sleep. If you don’t sleep, the baby wants to sleep now. You can’t rest this late anymore next time.”

As he said that, he reached out to turn of the lamp.

The room instantly went dark and they couldn’t see each other, only could feel each other. She smelled the scent of the shower gel remaining on his body after taking a shower and mixed with his unique masculine breath.

He was truly calm and didn’t ask anything. But Olive couldn’t stand it anymore and stretched out her hands to push him. “Hey!”

“What’s wrong?” Alan raised the corners of his lips into a smile.

“You really don’t want to ask me?”

“If you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask. You can tell me after you want to.”

“Fine!” Olive pouted and blew raspberry.

Alan caught her disappointing tone. He sighed and smiled. He put her head on his arm. “Tell me. What’s your problem? And your husband will solve it for you.”

If he didn’t ask her, it seemed like his little baby would be tossing and turning all night.

Olive lied on his chest. “I’m not in trouble. I just find it weird. You’ve clearly known my identity, so why didn’t you ask me anything?”

Alan was taken aback for a moment. So this was the case. It seemed that his mom-in-law had said something to his wife. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be this weird.

“I didn’t ask because I knew you didn’t want to talk about this issue. Actually, you’ve made your choice already, right?”

“I actually planned to talk about this after we came back from Jiangcheng. But it turns out Susan show up. I thought, let’s see what tricks this woman wants to play. Just like that, I was held up.”

“That time, the old man hadn’t been hospitalized. I saw the jade pendant in his office, but he put it away too quickly. I only saw a glimpse of it. I didn’t dare to be sure that it was exactly the same as mine. Besides, a pendant doesn’t mean everything, so I wasn’t sure. But it stayed on my mind. Then, I looked for a chance to get a DNA test from the old man’s saliva and secretly went to the hospital for a paternity test. In the end, I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.”

Alan held her tightly in his arms. How could he not understand her joy and sadness? Who would have thought after finding their biological parents, their father was terminally ill?

“Did you ever hate him?”

“To be honest, before this, I never bothered to find my biological parents. I thought, since they had cruelly abandoned me back then, there was no reason for me to look for them. You can see that how good my parents are treating me. If I go look for them, I feel sorry for my parents who have raised me hard for all the years. I don’t blame them, I don’t hate them, and I don’t complain. But I’ve received my current parents’ love. I’m not lacking anything in my life.”

“They are indeed the greatest parents in the world.” He had no doubt about this.

“Then, when I heard the old man’s story, I suddenly felt that he was actually quite pitiful. For most of his life, he has lived in guilt. I never thought that is the reason for my abandonment, engraving heavily by

that time era’s background. For his wife to live peacefully, maybe he has his helplessness and hardship. I watched him blaming himself, and then watched him falling ill, the joy he feels when he found Susan. It’s like the pain in his whole body has disappeared and he has a new life. Sometimes I think, If Susan’s appearance is really a coincidence and not an attempt, I would rather this mistake to continue.”

“Silly girl. How can you think that?”

“It’s a pity that…” Olive sighed as she always felt that Susan’s motives were impure.

Alan said, “There are some things that belong to you that others can’t steal it. Even if they want to, I’ll protect them for you.”

“Actually, I’ve never desired the Geve’s wealth. It’s enough for me to have a rich husband like you to enjoy the glory and wealth for a few lifetimes.” After a moment of pause, Olive ruffled her own hair in anguish. “Now my only trouble is if I acknowledge them, will I be a Geve or a Steele then? You know what the old man wants. He has to be wanting me to acknowledge the ancestor and return to the family. Now he’s arranging for Susan to enter the lineage. If I change my last name, how should I explain to my parents? It’s unfair to them. It was they who took me in and raised me. In this life, I can only be a Steele. But, how can I let a terminally ill old man regret for life?”

Although the old man’s condition was under control now, it couldn’t be cured and there was a possibility of recurrence at any time. If it recurred again, she could imagine the danger.

Alan kissed her forehead, “Silly. Don’t overthink. There’s nothing can be done if you’re troubled here now.”

“Tell me what I should do.” She desperately needed someone to guide her.

“Don’t worry and let it be,” Alan answered her with a sentence.

“That’s the same with not telling,” Olive whispered sadly.

“But I can guarantee that I’ll think of a best of both worlds solution for my dear wife.”

“Really?” In the darkness, Olive’s eyes lit up.

“Really! I’ll be your dog if I lie.”

“Okay. I believe you because you’re smart.”

“Then can we sleep now? The baby will protest if you’re still not sleeping.”

“He won’t.”

“…”

The next day, the planning document about the overseas investment was delivered to Olive’s desk. It took her a whole morning to read it carefully.

She could see that Susan had put a lot of thought into it. To a certain extent, this was a very perfect and attractive investment plan with a good return.

But so often, the more beautiful things were, the more poisonous they were behind it. At the same time of the temptation, they were also accompanied by risks. Besides, Susan and the old man had known each other only for a short period of time. And she could come up with such a perfect plan in just such short time?

She guessed that Susan had come prepared.

She didn’t know how a sharp-witted old man could be fooled by her.

One could see how hard Susan tried to please the old man.

On the next day, the old man asked her to send a message. “Olive, it’s time to eat. Let’s go. My mother has cooked a lot of food and my dad has specifically called me to bring you too.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
