18 Chapter 18 (1/2)

Olivia had realized that it was no use is trying to seduce Lucas. He didn't want her in that way, and that made her feel something. This was the first time that a guy had treated her as if she was worth something.

He waited for her as if she was worth something and her heart wasn't used to being treated as such. Lucas was very patient with her, he helped her with stuff that she couldn't do.

She liked living with him, he was different. Even Bernard wasn't bothering her at all and she felt happy about that.

When he went painting and she would go into Lucas's room so that she wouldn't have to encounter Bernard. She wasn't in the mood to make small talk or fake anything for that matter.

Dinner was served, and she waited for them to pray when they were done, she picked up her fork with them and began eating.

”I have a surprise for you Lucas.” Bernard said.

Lucas smiled at him, ”What is it?”

”I have bought some land close by you. It is a ten to fifteen-minute walk. So, I am going to be living close to you.”

”That's great.” As Lucas shared his delight with him.

Olivia's heart sank at the news, even though he didn't bother her she knew he didn't like her. Maybe she was wrong.

”When are you going to move in?” Lucas said.

”soon, actually I am going to sort out the arrangements so that they can move my stuff. I should be in, in a month's time.”
