Chapter 605 It's Not Olive
Aaron's POV
After receiving the message from Olive, my restless heart finally calmed down
I repeatedly checked our chat box, confirming that the number was indeed hers, and also confirming that her sentence was a reply to my previous message. Then, almost trembling, I typed a line of words
"Where have you been these past two days? Why didn't you reply to me?"
I rarely spoke to Olive in such an urgent tone of inquiry, but now, I just desperately wanted to know where she had gone during the almost forty-plus hours she had been out of contact
with me
The other side remained silent for a long time
And I repeatedly turned off and on the network on my phone, for the first time doubting whether this expensive screen in my hand was equipped with the most practical functions
Thank God, this time Olive, although silent for a while, replied to me within half an hour
"I was in Tokyo, where the signal was not very good and there was a high delay. I also received your message not long ago."
So her meaning was during the time when we lost contact, it was actually just a misunderstanding caused by an internet delay?
I gently touched my chest and instinctively let out a sigh of reliefOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.
In fact, from the moment I received Olive's message again, all my speculations and fantasies in my mind were immediately shattered. I only cared about what she replied to me and even forgot to ask her which hotel she was staying at in Tokyo
I didn't want to monitor my wife, but... just in case Olive doesn't reply to my message again today, I wouldn't be completely clueless
But when I recalled this incident and sent a new message to Olive again, she still refused to answer my question directly, no matter what
"I was doing well in Tokyo, and when I returned, I would bring gifts for you and your daughters."
"Recently, work might have been busy, so don't worry too much if I didn't reply to your
messages."
ok ok ok
Messages like this appeared on the screen, seemingly reasonable, but they subtly made me feel a little uneasy
Because the person on the other side of the screen seemed to be setting up something with these messages like she would lose contact with me again afterwards
Yes, because of the previous disconnection, I started becoming sensitive to everything. I could sense the meaning behind Olive's words and felt worried about it
However, Olive did not disappear again in the next two days

On the contrary, she would send me messages
voluntarily every morning after waking up and before going to bed
But this clock-in style of communication not only failed to dispel my doubts but also made me feel a strange feeling that I couldn't describe
Just like someone you are familiar with, standing right in front of you, but covered with a layer of mist from inside out, making it difficult for you to see her face clearly
My intuition told me that Olive's messages contained a sense of unfamiliarity
So one day, after receiving a message from Olive, I deliberately replied, "You should take care of yourself too, darling. Jenny has been taking good care of me and the girls lately. She even made us the hot scrambled egg rolls that we missed last time, this morning."
In the eyes of others, this was nothing more than a casual greeting to report the situation at home
But for me and Olive, every word in the sentence could trigger the next topic, like Jenny, like hot scrambled egg rolls
I think Olive might remember the things we discovered on that early morning of our separation, and then feel jealous when she brings up Jenny to me on her own initiative, I mean, she would deliberately act coquettish to flirt with me
But she didn't
Or, the person on the other end of the phone screen was unaware of my intention to bring up Jenny and the omelette
After a while, a sentence appeared in the
dialogue box: "That's really great, thanks for everything she has done for our family, it seems like her salary is going to increase again."
I immediately felt my fingertips stiffened
If the person talking to me is my wife, how could she possibly forget that we had already agreed to dismiss Jenny, let alone mention gratitude and a raise?
Yes, I doubted that the person I was chatting with was not Olive
But when I called Meiling Company that day, her colleague clearly told me that she was on a business trip with Charlie Marilyn
So if the person on the other end of the phone wasn't Olive, it could only be Marilyn, who was traveling with her
Thinking that my wife's phone might have been taken by another man, who even pretended to be her and had a series of conversations with me, I felt a chill down my spine
Of course, this is not because of jealousy or suspicion
But it was not because of worry
The level of terror that man possessed far exceeded anyone's comprehension
