Chapter 215 - Crazy Idea (2/2)

Maxen wanted to disrupt Olivia that night but he got curious, so unbeknownst to her, he was watching that sinful video over her shoulders that night while he did his best to pretend that he was asleep. ”That thing you were watching on your phone last time. The girl with a toy in her tushy.”

Olivia's hands flew to her mouth. She was out of words to explain herself. ”I�� I was just curious, okay? I'm not interested in doing that sordid thing.”

”Shh. I'm not judging you, baby.” Maxen grinned like a Cheshire cat. ”What's the best way to quench your curiosity but to do an experiment, right? On top of that, you said I can talk you out about anything.”

Biting the inside of her cheek, she peered at Maxen, and her eyes squinted. She had a feeling that Maxen had an experience in that department already and was pushing her buttons so she would agree to him. ”Before I agree on anything, let me make this clear. This is your chance to come clean, Max. Have you tried anal before?”

Dumbfounded, Maxen's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of the water. ”Wo–would I be pestering you if I already did?”

”I'm not satisfied with your answer.”

”I haveeeeen't. I sweaaaaaar.”

”Nope. Your nostrils are flaring. That's a sign that you're lying.”

Why did he even push his luck when he knew convincing Olivia to do something would boomerang and hit him in the face?

”So, back to our engagement… it's a go. Let's postpone the announcement, and then we'll have to fly to London in two days. I have to be back after a week though.”

”That's fine with me.”

”And you have to stay there until the matter with the Huks is solved.”

”Oh.” Olivia's legs stopped dangling and she pursed her lips in a thin line. She didn't expect to be staying longer than a week in London, not with Oakwood Capital's business in full swing. ”But I can't sleep without you beside me.” She pouted, even though it was obvious it wasn't really the reason why she wanted to come home after the conference.

”Olivia…”

”Maaaax…”

”There's no point in postponing our engagement announcement if you will be sticking beside me. I wanted to make sure you are as far away from the Huks as possible. Father will be sending Mom and Maya away too. It's for everyone's safety.”

”Not sure if Mom would leave The Highlands. Maya would, but Mom? Who are we kidding here?”

”I don't want to lose you, baby. Just… please stay where I tell you to stay,” he pleaded, squeezing Olivia's waist.

”The Huks will know that we know about them if all the Sui ladies were sent away. We both know that their attack is inevitable. We just need to be more prepared than them.”

Maxen didn't want to deny it, but Olivia sure sounded convincing. However, as much as he wanted to be swayed by her words, he still wouldn't let her stay in The Highlands for the meantime. ”How about you stay with Ollie until we iron this security nightmare? Can you do that for me?”

”Well… will we see each other every day?”

”Does a video call count?”

Olivia scrunched her nose, thinking of ways other than a boring video call. ”How about chance encounters? Oh, that's exciting.”

Maxen roared with laughter, his head tipping back. ”Maybe we can start that today,” he suggested and his Adam's apple bobbed when the excitement of sneaking out with his wife sn.a.k.e.d in his veins, giving him a high like no other. ”By the way, why are you flying to London again?”

”Oh that. I just want to confirm something,” Olivia answered and her words succinct. It intrigued Maxen, but he didn't dare ask more questions than he should.

For all he knew, his wife would surprise him yet again.
