Naturally, Alan didn't dare to say that out loud.
Instead, he replied politely, "That's not it.
She was helping the turtles move their nests.
She even saved an injured squirrel when she was in the mountains gathering herbs.
"She also practices shooting at the gun range in the evening.
I heard that she would knit a sweater before she went to bed, too." Wayne slammed the classified document down angrily.
"Does she really think she's on vacation? Did she not try to escape?" "I don't think she did.
She walked around the beach several times a few days ago.
She picked up scrabs and fished for a bit.
She rarely went to the beach after that.
"Her days are pretty routine.
She wakes up at 6:00 am, goes for a morning jog, works out, and then a series of tasks she sets for herself.
"She goes to bed at 10:00 pm sharp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe has a stricter routine than my grandma." "What about her food?" "She eats healthy.
She doesn't overeat, yet she also doesn't skip her meals.
Her meals are balanced.
You, on the other hand..." Alan looked at the bags under Wayne's eyes.
"You've never had a good night's sleep since you got back from the island, right?" Wayne was acting like someone who had just acquired a precious treasure.
He was very afraid of breaking the treasure himself, but he also didn't want others to take it from him.
He could only keep Olivia stowed away for the tbeing.
But he couldn't see her either.
It made him miss her even more.
He thought about her all the time.
Olivia slept well and ate well.
He had it worse than her.
It seemed like she wasn't the prisoner in this scenario.
Olivia was physically imprisoned, but Wayne's heart was held captive.
Both of them were suffering.
"Any updates about Aldenvine?" "Ethan's still at Reich Island.
It's the place where Dr.
Ophelia momentarily stopped.
He sent out a lot of men to look for her out at sea.
"He's so dumb.
She's not dead.
How could they find anything?" "They'll probably give up if nothing turns up after a few days." Alan asked softly.
"But what are you planning to do next, Mr.
Maxwell? Are you really going to keep Dr.
Ophelia on the island forever?" "Of course not.
I told her before I left.
I'll let her off the island when she agrees to be with me." Alan thought about how stubborn both of them were.
It would be very hard for him to convince Olivia to submit to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe easiest type of woman to deceive were those with no experience at all.
The tiniest gifts could be enough to make them fall in love.
Olivia was different.
She cfrom a prominent family and was once doted on by everyone.
She used to be incredibly wealthy and had a turbulent past.
Her experiences and mindset are even more enriched than those of the average woman.
The only way to make her submit was to exploit her weakness—her kids.
Even if he managed to get her on the island, she was still a thorny rose.
It wasn't going to be so easy to make her submit.
Wayne could only leave her alone and isolate her.
It was a competition to see who had more determination.
It was nighttat Reich Island. Olivia was in a rush when she boarded the helicopter.
She didn't stop at the island for too long.
Then, he received sbad news.
The bad news was that the helicopter crash had been proven to be real.
The good news was that nothing belonging to Olivia had been found.
Not her human tissue.
Not even a shred of her clothing.
