Chapter 98

She had already called Leona and asked her what Brayden's flancée's name was and whether she was
Everett's ex-wife.

Leona gave her a yes after a brief silence.

Yes.Heh.

In other words, everyone knew that Brayden was going to marry his ex-aunt, except her.

What was he doing? Hiding it from her? Afraid that she would know it and think too much? Of course,
this was not enough to make her angry.

What made her angry was that she had just heard that Everett had gone to Paris two days ago.

And she had just returned from Paris.

During her two days in Paris, he had never looked for her or called her.

Why? Did he really not miss her, or...Did he not love her? She closed her eyes, pinched her nails into
her palms, and her face tightened.

At this moment, Melody felt a sense of panic, a fear she had never felt before.

Olivia slept soundly for a few hours until she woke up naturally.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark and the street lights outside were on.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

After sitting in bed for a while, she got out of bed and went out.

As soon as she went out, she saw Brayden coming up the stairs.



Brayden was surprised, then smiled, walked over, and stopped in front of her.

"I'm just going upstairs and see if you're awake."

Olivia smiled.

"I'm awake.I just didn't expect to sleep for so long." It was already dark.

"That's ok.Did you sleep well?" Olivia nodded.

"Not bad." No nightmares.

"That's good.Are you hungry?"

"No."

"Well, You can help me in the kitchen."

"Okay."

The two of them went to the kitchen, and neither of them mentioned Melody they met today.

It seemed like she really wasn't important.

When Belle arrived, they had just finished cooking.

Olivia was serving the dishes.

She was not surprised to see Belle.

As usual, she called her, "Auntie."



When she was in the kitchen, Brayden had already told her that Belle was here and would come to
dinner with them tonight to discuss their marriage.

He had asked her if she would feel embarrassed.

If she did, he wouldn't let Belle come over tonight.

She said it was okay.

But it was Belle who was a little uncomfortable when she saw Olivia.

After all, Olivia was Everett's ex-wife.

But seeing Olivia behaved naturally, the uneasiness in her heart was gone.

"Well, did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes, auntie, please go wash your hands and let's have dinner.’

"Okay."

Belle put her things down and went to the bathroom.

Olivia went to the kitchen to get some rice.

Brayden heard Belle's voice and looked at her.

"Mom, you're here."

"Yes."

Her expression was natural and there was no uneasiness on her face.



The slight worry in Brayden's heart disappeared.

But he still said to Olivia, "My mom might feel a little embarrassed.Please don't take it to heart."

Actually, he was very grateful to his mother for not making things difficult for Olivia.

However, Olivia was the one he loved, and he still wanted his mother to let go of everything and treat
her sincerely.

Olivia looked at him and saw his eyes full of worries.She felt warmed.

"No, auntie's kind."

She was really, really kind.

Much kinder than Leona.

All of a sudden, she thought that Leona was unapproachable, so was Everett, and Belle was kind and
direct, so Brayden was gentle and considerate.

They demonstrated the saying that children learn from their mothers.

The two of them had set the table while Belle came out.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, she smiled and said, "You are really good.You have
cooked so many dishes."

She knew her son could cook, but it was the first time she saw him cook so many dishes, which she
had never seen before.

Brayden pointed to a plate of pork braised in brown sauce and said to Belle, "Mom, this is made by
Olivia."



Belle was surprised.

"You did it?"

The great color made it looked like it was a dish sold outside.

"Yes, auntie, have atry.’' Olivia put a piece in her bowl.

Brayden said that Belle liked to eat pork braised in brown sauce, and it happened that she could cook
this dish, so she made it.

If others treated her well, she, Olivia, would spare no effort to treat each other well too.

Belle looked at the dish in front of her and was suddenly moved.

As a mother, she naturally wanted her daughter-in-law to be virtuous, and she could tell Olivia was
virtuous.

Only if she wasn't...

"Alas, forgot il.I should stop thinking too much.As long as Braydenis fine, I'll be satisfied.""

Belle thought to herself.

After eating, they sat on the sofa and discussed their marriage.

Belle looked at Olivia, "Olivia, that's what I thought.Let's go to your family and visit your family first.We
two families sit together for dinner and discuss your wedding date, and then we can prepare the
wedding according to custom."

Belle meant that the betrothal gifts would not be cut down duc to her previous wedding, nor did she be
looked down upon.



Olivia nodded andi said, "Okay, but you don’t need to bring and I don't need betrothal gifts.We can
make it simple."

Brayden frowned and looked at Olivia disapprovingly.

Of course he wanted to give her the best wedding and would not neglect her because of anything.

Belle was also surprised.

She had never expected Olivia to say that.

Olivia knew what they were thinking and she looked at them with a serious expression.

"Well, my family is very ordinary.Suddenly having a chance to live a good life without any effort will
make them become lazy.I don't want them to be like that, so let's just be simple and have a meal
together.’

This was the true worries in her heart.

She said that not because she was underestimating herself since she had been married to Everett
before, but because of her worries.

Belle didn't know what to say.She looked at Brayden.

And she would like to know what did her son think.
