Chapter 196 He Is Not Just Anyone
Olivia was already planning to leave, but she hadn’t expected that she would have to go with him..
Watching Nathan’s retreating figure, she was momentarily unsure whether to follow him.
“Mommy, hurry up. Don’t let Daddy wait.”
The sound of Liam urging her on rang in her ears. Olivia lowered her head and shot him a glare. “You’re completely siding with your dad now.”
Liam merely responded with a sweet smile.
Naturally, he sided with Nathan because the latter was his father.
Nathan deliberately slowed his pace. Although he didn’t look back, he was still mindful of whether she was following him.
With a sense of resignation, Olivia let out a sigh before slowly going with him.
When the sound of footsteps echoed from behind, a subtle smirk played at the corners of Nathan’s mouth.
The two of them walked silently down the hallway, maintaining a distance of about three to four steps apart. Neither of them said a word.
Once they entered the elevator, the confined space held only the two of them.
Olivia took a step back, leaning into the corner, as she didn’t want to be too close to Nathan.
However, she still couldn’t shake the sense of unease.
When he noticed her actions, a hint of displeasure flashed in Nathan’s eyes. He turned his head to glance at her, his voice cool as he spoke. “So, can any man enter your room just like that?”
The thought of Benjamin having free access to her room while she kept her distance from him was truly infuriating.
Olivia paused for a moment, then quickly grasped the meaning behind his words. She gave him a puzzled look, unsure why he had suddenly brought up this topic.
However, she responded nonchalantly, “Benjamin is not just anyone.”
For Olivia, Benjamin was indeed not just anyone.
He was not only her assistant but also a reliable ally assigned by her master to protect her. Moreover, he was a great partner at work.
Over the years, Benjamin had been by her side, being of great assistance to her. He could be considered a friend, and to a certain extent, family.
However, that was all there was to it.
Despite her seeing it that way, it was clear that Nathan didn’t share the same perspective.
Nathan gazed at her reflection on the elevator door, his gaze as deep as the ocean.
The men who appeared by her side, be it King or Benjamin, were no ordinary individuals.
What mattered more was that their attitudes toward her were distinctively different.
Nathan couldn’t help but wonder if, unlike them, he was a stranger to her.
The girl who had taken care of him attentively five years ago had now cast him aside, treating him as if he were a stranger.
Upon reflecting on this, he felt as though a heavy burden was weighing down on his heart, causing him to suffocate.
His expression grew solemn, and he didn’t say anything more.

Finished
The elevator arrived, and as soon as the doors slid open, he strode out without even sparing Olivia a glance, leaving her behind.
Having spent so many years by his side, Olivia could distinctly perceive the shifts in his emotions.
Watching his retreating figure, she scoffed lightly, cognizant that he was upset with her.
Nevertheless, she didn’t give it much thought.
Meanwhile, Emma kept glancing in the direction of the restroom, her brows furrowed in concern. Why has Nate been gone for so long?
Just as she planned to see what was going on, she caught a sudden glimpse of a familiar figure entering through the door from the corner of her eye.
It’s Nate!
Her face lit up in delight as she immediately approached him.
At that moment, another familiar figure entered her field of vision.
It was none other than Olivia.
Olivia and Nate have come in one after the other. Could it be that Nate took so long in the restroom because he actually went to look for her?
Emma stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed intently on Olivia. Her grip over the wine glass gradually tightened, while her other hand, hanging by her side, clenched into a fist.
When a scowl descended upon her face, the guests, who had come over to offer a toast, quickly excused themselves.
