Chapter 3980
Eventually, she turned to her secretary and inquired, “Do you know which is more enduring, love at first sight or love that evolves with time?”
In truth, she held the answer within her heart.
Her affection for and attachment to Raphael stemmed from a teenage crush, while her emotions for Dylan were those of a woman deeply in love.
Her happiest memories were with Raphael, but her most profound love was reserved for Dylan.
But he no longer desired it.
That night, she returned home feeling uneasy, tossing and turning throughout the night.
Later, her secretary called Elva, who spent the evening comforting Olivia and expressing her disdain for Dylan.
Perhaps only those closest to her could discern who Olivia truly longed for.
Following that night, Olivia resumed her usual routine.
It was as though nothing had happened.
One week later, it made the headlines that Raphael Jones of Pryor Technology announced his engagement.
His fiancee, a beautiful woman, was the same individual he had spoken of to Olivia.
The image of them together appeared flawless!
Olivia watched the photograph silently, experiencing a sense of serenity within.
Leaning against the chaise longue, Olivia reflected on her improved health since summer, although her doctor recommended ample rest.
Leyla, now two years old, amused herself with a rubber ball on the lawn, under her nanny’s watchful eye.
A smile graced Olivia’s lips as she observed her daughter’s playfulness.
The phone on the nearby table chimed.
It was Dylan calling.
She neither answered nor disconnected the call.
Instead, she allowed it to ring softly.
Retrieving the tablet beside her, she resumed working on her comic.
Meanwhile, Dylan was at the company, repeatedly dialing Olivia’s number.
Upon learning of Raphael’s engagement, he presumed that Olivia had been aware of it for some time but chose not to inform him.
Dylan had been calling Olivia repeatedly, yet she never picked up.
After all, there was no reason for her to do so.
Unlike other divorced couples who might still need to coordinate for their children, Dylan and she… had no such obligations.
When Olivia was still pregnant, Dylan was overjoyed and even handcrafted toys for the unborn child.
But given that Leyla wasn’t his biological daughter, those gestures now just lost their significance.
Moreover, after the divorce, she wanted nothing to do with him.
Still, his persistent calls were becoming a nuisance.
Eventually, Olivia just turned off her phone… Gradually, she found her peace.
After calming down, Olivia looked up to see Leyla running happily towards her.
