Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

The first person to spot Olivia was Dorothy.

She initially panicked, but then she grabbed John’s hand and put her head against his chest. She simpered. “Johnny, since the guests are not all here yet, why don’t you take a walk with me in the garden? I want to look at the stars with you.”

Perhaps John was feeling bad after their fight last night, so he nodded even though he was reluctant.

“Alright.”

Olivia saw the two walk to the garden from the door. Her heart tightened, but she quickly came back to her senses and walked toward Aaron.

“Aaron.”

Aaron turned around. When he saw Olivia, he instinctively took a step back like he had just seen a ghost.

Olivia frowned. “What’s wrong? Did I scare you?”

“N-no. I called you today, but you didn’t answer, so I thought you weren’t coming.”

“I lost my phone, so I didn’t get the call. Sorry.”

Aaron handed her a glass of wine. The right arm that he extended ached a bit, which made him feel uneasy.

“Aaron, did Johnny cause trouble for you yesterday?”

Aaron pressed his lips together. “Not really. He warned me just like last time, but since I made that promise to you, I’ll keep it.”

John’s methods were very scary, so that was why Aaron was still fearful.

Olivia could tell how uneasy he was, so she lowered her head to smile softly. “If it’s not easy for you to help me, it’s fine. I understand.”

She felt vigilant around him, especially when she recalled those fictitious things. Aaron had said in front of John.

When he saw Olivia turning around to leave, he was anxious, so he reached out to grab her.

“Liv, we grew up together, so of course, I’m willing to help you even though Mr. Freeman’s methods are a little scary.”

“What did he do to you yesterday?”
