Olivia, noticing that Alexander hadn’t spoken, assumed he had accepted her words by default.
“You can be completely at ease with me; I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you now. You don’t have to worry about me bothering you anymore.”
Alexander felt as though he had been struck in the chest. It left him breathless. Yet Olivia looked utterly composed.
“I know you’re worried about grandpa seeing all these entertainment industry rumors. I’ll be careful about that. And you can rest assured, although our marriage is only in name, I will maintain my dignity. I won’t cause any scandals before we officially divorce.”
Their current situation was practically a marriage of convenience. She had been impulsive before, but now she was sober.
In the entire marriage, only Daxton still hoped they would stay together. Both parties involved had long grown tired of each other.
Now, even if Alexander brought another woman to their bed, Olivia could watch calmly.
After the release of “Legacy of the Dynasty,” she made a tidy profit, combined with her advantages from being reborn and her accelerated financial planning.
Olivia felt that in no more than a year, she could have a net worth of ten billion.
She had no plans to date anyone at the moment. After a year, once she was free, she could choose any young man she desired!
Thinking of a debt–free, joyful life filled with attractive young men, Olivia felt her life would be perfect.
Once she found someone appealing, she would take him home to show her grandmother just how high her standards had soared.
“Of course, if you think the marriage certificate is a nuisance, we could just get divorced now…” Olivia suggested again.
She felt it was the best option for both of them.
However…
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Alexander’s entire demeanor tensed.
The first time Olivia proposed divorce, he thought she was playing hard to get.
But now, Alexander realized Olivia was serious.
She really wanted to divorce him.
Alexander looked up at Olivia, who appeared relaxed and unbothered. He could not see a trace of sentimentality on her face.
Alexander’s breathing became heavy without him realizing.

When Olivia looked at him, Alexander inadvertently lowered his gaze, hiding the turmoil in his eyes.
He pretended not to hear Olivia’s words.
Olivia fell silent. Scammer! Pretending not to hear when divorce is mentioned? Is he that desperate for my one billion?
Olivia rolled her eyes silently. The richer they are, the stingier they become!
Frustrated, she flopped onto the bed. In contrast to Alexander, she decisively took out her phone and sent a message to “Eugene.”
“Hi! How’s the wound on your face?”
Caught in the complex emotions from Olivia’s second request for divorce, Alexander felt his phone vibrate silently in his pocket.
He took it out and saw Olivia’s caring message, along with that emoji that seemed to beg for a poke.
Alexander fell into silence.
One moment she’s discussing divorce with me, the next she’s sending caring messages to her rumored love interest?
Despite feeling suffocated, Alexander, true to his honest self, started to reply.
“I’m fine, why aren’t you asleep this late?”
Olivia replied, “The night is long and I can’t sleep. Want a bite of the juicy story on Twitter?”
“Do you mind?”
Olivia, “I mind.”
Alexander’s tense heart slightly relaxed.
However…
Olivia, “I mind that the dream hasn’t come true yet, and someone already blew it up. Don’t you know that a wish spoken aloud won’t come true?”
Alexander fell silent.
