Chapter 56
Olivia’s elated mood instantly subsided, and a hint of bitterness welled up inside her.
She stared at the ribbon entwined around her and Julian’s hands for a few seconds before lifting her gaze to meet his eyes.
Julian’s lips curled into an attractive smile, his eyes twinkling with joy. He radiated a sense of pleasure.

Olivia didn’t want to be a spoilsport and ruin his good spirits. But she felt she had to temper his expectations, to prevent him from getting too deeply entangled in a relationship that was doomed to have no future.
She shifted her focus back to the ribbon and raised her other hand, silently attempting to untie it.
Julian quickly grasped her hand, his tone tinged with displeasure. “Why are you untying it? Do you really not want to be with me that much?”
Olivia looked up at him. “I won’t marry you. We’ll never be husband and wife.”
Julian’s eyes grew cold. “Is it because of Dylan? He’s openly defying you for his mistress. He always prioritizes her over you and ignores you, yet you still can’t bring yourself to leave him?”
Olivia shook her head. “It has nothing to do with him. Even if I divorced him, I wouldn’t marry you. I just want to keep our current relationship. If you can accept that, we can continue.”
“If not, let’s end it sooner rather than later. There will be women who would be willing to marry you. Don’t waste your time on me.”
Julian tightened his grip on Olivia’s hand, his voice deepening. “Why? Am I not good enough, or is there something else you’re worried about?”
Olivia couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes, her gaze drifting into the distance. “It’s not about whether you’re good enough. I don’t have to marry you. I just want the physical pleasure, without any emotional involvement.”
Julian’s breathing grew heavier with anger, and he fell silent for a long moment, his eyes darkening.
Olivia continued, “I should have made this clear when you followed me to the matrimonial home. I was thoughtless and wasted so much of your time.
I’m sorry.”
“Cut your losses. You deserve better,” Olivia said, trying to free her hand from Julian’s to untie the ribbon once more.
But Julian grabbed her hand again, pressing her against the tree and staring at her with a fierce look. “Bullshit. I’m amazing, and I deserve the best. In my eyes, you are the best, and I want only you.”
Olivia’s heart raced again, her face turning pale. “Can’t you understand? I said I won’t marry you. Even if there were no other options, I still wouldn’t-”
“Got it,” Julian said through gritted teeth.
“Physical pleasure is fine. Liking someone’s body is still liking them. I’ll go back and practice hard to make you addicted to my body. That’s a victory, too. As long as you don’t leave me, I’ll slowly figure out how to make you fall in love with me.”
Olivia was stunned for a moment. ‘Why is he so stubborn?‘ she thought.
She couldn’t understand why Julian was so fixated on her.
She wondered, ‘I do look good and have a great figure, but the world is vast. There must be someone better than me.
‘With Julian’s good looks, there must be better girls who would fall for him. Why is he so persistent? I’ve been so blunt, yet he still won’t give up?‘
But for some reason, Olivia felt a strange sense of pleasure at being so firmly chosen. It made her happy and, strangely, a little moved to the point of
tears.

Seeing Olivia on the verge of teafs, Julian softened his demeanor and quickly explained, “Don’t worry. I won’t practice with anyone else I’ll study on my ewn by watching videos. My body belongs only to you. I won’t let anyone else touch your exclusive dick.”
Olivia was taken aback again. Her emotions were shattered in an instant. She no longer felt like crying; instead, she just wanted to find a hole to kick him
into.
“It looks like it’s going to rain. Let’s find a hotel to check in first. Don’t go back tonight. I’m leaving tomorrow, and I want to spend more time with you,” he suggested
Olivia nodded. The two of them walked hand in hand away from the church.
Not long after, it indeed started to rain.
Julian took off his coat to shield Olivia from the rain, revealing his perfect physique. The few passersby couldn’t help but stop and stare….
When they arrived at the hotel, Julian followed Olivia into the bathroom as she went to take a shower.
Olivia had initially intended to shoo him out, but seeing him all wet, she worried that if she made him wait outside for too long, he might catch a cold. So, she reluctantly allowed him to join her.
Olivia’s pregnancy wasn’t showing yet, so there was nothing to worry about.
After they came out of the bathroom, Julian carried her to the bed, buried his face in her shoulder, and mumbled, “Really not possible? Didn’t you say you wanted physical pleasure? Why are you rejecting me now?”
Olivia pushed him away, panting. “I don’t feel like it right now. Maybe later.”
“Liar,” Julian snorted. “You clearly want to. Why exactly are you holding back now?”
Olivia’s face turned red. “Enough already. Go get the hairdryer and dry my hair. It’s uncomfortable when it’s wet.”
Julian, who always looked so tough, actually got up right away to fetch the hair dryer, surprisingly obedient.
Feeling a bit drowsy, Olivia didn’t bother to sit up and just lay down on his lap, letting him figure out how to dry her hair.
Lately, Olivia had been experiencing more noticeable pregnancy symptoms. Besides occasional nausea, she was constantly feeling sleepy. Before her hair was completely dry, she dozed off.
Meanwhile, back at the matrimonial home, Dylan frowned as Olivia hadn’t returned home yet.
“It’s so late. Why hasn’t Olivia come back? Did she go out for dinner with the crew?” Dylan turned to Chloe, who was sitting beside him, and asked.
Chloe thought for a moment and countered, “Darling, haven’t you noticed that Mr. Hudson hasn’t come back either?”
Dylan replied, “He’s busy with work. He’s been coming home late these past few days. Why do you bring him up? I’m asking about Olivia.”
Chloe said softly, “Is he really that busy? But how come he had time to pick Olivia up from the set today? Olivia and Mr. Hudson seem to get along really well. Did they know each other before?”
She added, “Mr. Hudson even bought her flowers when he went to pick her up, and prepared snacks and milkshakes for her. They looked like a couple in love. People on the set were saying they make a good pair.”
Dylan’s eyes narrowed, and he coldly demanded, “What did you say? Mr. Hudson picked Olivia up from the set? And he gave her flowers? Did Olivia leave with him?”
Chloe covered her mouth with her hand, feigning surprise. “Didn’t Ivan tell you? He was there and saw it, too. Oh, I just remembered that day when ! accidentally pulled Olivia’s chair out from under her, Mr. Hudson dislocated my hand.

“I thought he was just looking out for a junior at the time, but now, it seems that he might be having an affair with Olivia and sficking up for his mistress”
Dylan’s face darkened. He immediately took out his phone and called Olivia. It took a while before the call was answered.
“Where have you been?” Dylan coldly demanded.
A man’s voice came through the phone. “She’s asleep. What do you want?”
