Chapter 179 - Quick To Adapt (2/2)

”It is. It's a monastery but there's no child in that place… because it's a monastery.”

”Are you sure there's not one child inside? Did you make a search?”

”We did. Okay. You know what? It's okay if you don't want to take a look at it. I was just sharing it with you.” Maxen took his hand back and was about to tuck the paper in his inside pocket when Olivia snatched it away from him.

”If I go crazy searching for this kid, I will adopt this child once we find the location,” she joked. Little did she know how powerful a man's words could be.

She pried the folded paper open, looking at the coordinates at hand.

Imagining a globe in her head, she tried to pinpoint where the coordinates lie but, as Maxen said, everything didn't make sense.

If she plotted the coordinates on a plane, the locations would be scattered across the globe.

Could it be? Did she get it right?

Her toes tapped on the carpeted floor in excitement. It's been a while since she felt a rush of adrenaline in her body.

”Can you grab a pen and paper for me, please?” She grinned at Maxen, her eyes twinkled with a spark of hope and exhilaration.

Maxen quickly got up on his feet and went over the desk, grabbing a pen on the holder and a random paper that was sitting on top of the desk.

When he turned around to walk back where Olivia sat, he saw her tinkering on her phone and quickly placing it back on the table.

”Soooo,” Olivia trailed off, receiving the pen and paper from Maxen. ”Thank you so much. Come, sit here beside me.” She patted the cushion twice, scooting a bit for Maxen.

”I don't want to sound jealous or anything but you looked way too excited today than when we got married.” Maxen scratched the skin above his eyebrow, a helpless sigh escaped his lips.

To his shock, Olivia pounced on him, trapping him in her arms. His back landed on the sofa with Olivia laying on top of him. He tutted, ”Is this how bored you are, baby? What's going on?”

”I'm just happy.” She pecked his lips and pulled away from him. Helping him to sit back in position, Olivia uttered, ”And you'll be the happiest too once you hear what I just found out because you can finally let go of that guilt in your heart.”

Second, he couldn't understand a thing that was scribbled on it but what bothered him the most was how his pants tightened as he ogled his wife.

This side of Olivia was honestly a big turn on for him. He loved watching her focus on something he didn't have an idea about.

Honestly, he secretly loved it whenever she ignored him. It gave him more reason to pester her and vie for her attention.

”Ok, I'm… wait a minute. Just one more. Yes, this is it.” Olivia presented to him her masterpiece.

”Hmmm.” Maxen propped his elbows on top of his folded knees. His eyes squinted as he did his best to understand what's on the paper as his ego told him not to look dumb in front of his genius wife. ”I see you drew a globe. Am I correct?”

Olivia nodded. ”What else? See. I knew you were smart, you can even understand it on your own,” Olivia cheered.

Scratching the skin above his eyebrows, uncertainty lace Maxen's voice as he said, ”Thanks, baby. You didn't make a mistake marrying me, right?”
