Chapter 1161
Olivia asked an errand boy to send the cream to Jenna first thing the next morning.
She returned to the Heath residence, where it had been peaceful the past two days.
Krystal was preoccupied because of Yale. Despite the resentment, she went along with him because
she had promised her parents.
Thanks to her dates, the Heath residence was peaceful these two days.
"You're back. Come, take a look at this painting." Mason beckoned Olivia over.
She stood next to him. "The colors complement each other well. You can hang it in a museum."
Mason chuckled. "Oh, stop that."
"You look better."
"And it's all thanks to you. I think I can go to work starting tomorrow. Of course, you have to come along
just in case. Is that fine with you?"

"I'm glad to hearthat. I missed you when you weren't around these two days."
A warm smile cracked on her face. "You're simply used to me talking to you."
"Yeah. A lot of people eye for a chance to butter me up because of my power. Not even my wife speaks
to me often.
You're the only one I can talk to."
Olivia stuck out a tongue. "Don't tell me too much, though. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the
end."
"Must you leave? If you wish to stay, I can satisfy any request of yours-no matter what it is."
"Grandpa Mason, once you recover, I won't have any reason to stay. I hope you'll understand that."
She continued playfully, "I'm still young. I don't wanna be an office worker. The world is big, and I have
to see it myself. But it'll take one call for me to sprint all the way here.
Frankly speaking, I think we click."
"Fine. I won't force you to stay. If you must leave, please make the departure later. How about after the
new year?"
"Okay."
Olivia kept him company the whole morning. "I'll go make you lunch. Rest up."
"Okay."
Just as she was going to leave, Linus entered the room.
Due to their previous encounter outside, guilt clenched her heart when she saw him.
"Hi, Mr. Linus," she greeted as usual.
He offered a nod of acknowledgment. "You're back."
"I'll leave you guys alone."
Wearing an aloof expression, he stopped her from closing the door. "Vanessa, I have something to talk

She masked her surprise. "Sure."
Questions formed in her head the moment the door was closed.
"Did he know? Should I run away?"
Running away now was useless anyway. Since she was recommended by Ethan, he might get into
trouble if she ran away.
She wondered if she was being in her head. It could be an inquiry about Mason's recovery.
Those thoughts flying in her head distracted her when she was cutting the vegetables.
The sharp edge of the knife cut her finger, and blood oozed out of the wound.
She hissed in pain.
A silhouette flew over in a heartbeat. "You alright?"
He shoved her fingertip into his mouth, sucking the blood before she could respond to it.
She had never been this intimate with another man aside from Ethan.
His wet and soft tongue licked her fingertip. Before Olivia could withdraw her hand, a female voice
shouted, "W-What are you guys doing!"
