Julian knelt by the bed. “Honey, I’m sorry. I really am. Give me another chance. I swear, I’ll never do it again.” He spoke sincerely, but Olivia remained unmoved. “You don’t need to change. You simply followed your desires. You had so much fun dating these past six months. Keep enjoying yourself. And I’ll let you.”
Julian was taken aback, grabbing her hand to kiss it.“I’m sorry. I deserve to die. It wasn’t like you think; I didn’t want to be with her. My heart has always belonged only to you…”
“Stop.” Olivia forcefully pulled away her hand.“Julian, it doesn’t matter anymore. We’re over. I’m getting a divorce!”
“It’s not up to you alone! I tore up the agreement!” Julian was agitated.
Olivia looked at him, silent for a few seconds.“Okay, if we can’t agree, see you in court!”
“Are you really willing to throw away all these years? Forgive me, just once. Please,” Julian pleaded, hugging her.“I can’t live without you.”
“What are you doing?! Get your hands off me! Don’t touch me!” Olivia threw a pillow at him.
On the sofa, Evan sat up, the blanket slipping. He rubbed his temples.“Zach, water.” Zach quickly got him some water. The two were forced to listen to their emotional drama. Olivia’s eyes widened. Oh, please, let that voice not have been Evan’s!
Julian’s expression changed, but in front of outsiders, he got up, his tone softening.“Honey, you must be hungry. I had

Olivia ignored him. After Julian left, she saw Evan. Her boss really was her dedicated divorce spectator…
Evan took the water, slowly sipping it, then left. Zach followed.
Julian returned with the congee, his tone frigid.“Eat.”
Olivia was dazed for a moment.“Put it down. I’ll eat later.”
Julian: “It’ll get cold. Let me feed you.”
“I don’t need you to feed me.”
“Oh, you want Evan to feed you?”
“A dirty mind sees dirt everywhere,” Olivia said coolly.
Julian’s expression softened slightly.“Quit your job, and I’ll believe you’re innocent.”
