NovelEnglishChapter 599 Susan stood there alone for some time.
Liam thought of Susan's thoughts on Brayden and felt helpless.
Unwillingness cannot produce desired results, and love cannot be forced. But Susan was a stubborn woman used to getting her own way, so eventually, she was the one who suffered.
As her old classmate, Liam felt that he should say something, but he gave up the thought after thinking of Susan's temperament.
He pretended not to see the direction Susan was staring at, walked over with a smile, and said, "Let's go out for a drink." Of course, there were Felix and Alice.
Although alcohol could not solve the problem, it was the best way to vent feelings.
"Sure." They went to the bar.
Brayden didn't know where they had gone and had no interest of knowing it.
He went downstairs and got in the car. After sending a message to Olivia, he drove home.
He wanted to call Olivia, but it was already past ten. He was afraid that he roused her out of sleep, so he didn't call her.
The car arrived home in half an hour, and the lights in the villa were on. It was warm and quiet as usual.
"Woof woof..." Max ran out and barked excitedly.

However, the bark was different from usual. It was always excited and happy when its master came back. But today, Brayden came back. It barked anxiously as if there was a thief.
Brayden felt something strange about Max and looked inside.
Max was smart and agile.
Every time he and Olivia came back, it ran out before the car reached the gate.
If he came back alone, so would Max, and Olivia would be out soon.
Because Max's bark announced the coming of him.
But now that Olivia didn't come out, and the villa was quiet.
Brayden felt something wrong and immediately strode in, followed by Max with continuous barks.
Brayden looked around. The house was as clean and tidy as usual.
But Olivia was not there, and only Max's bark could be heard, which seemed particularly empty in this huge villa.
Brayden's heart was empty. He called, "Olivia?" Brayden went downstairs but Olivia was nowhere to be found. He then went upstairs. "Olivia!" "Olivia, are you home?" "Olivia!" No one answered him. There was no sound in the villa except for his and Max's voices.
His heart sank. As time passed, there was still no response from Olivia. His head was buzzing, and even his whole body was stiff and numb.
He was afraid that she was gone and he was the only one in their family, and that he would be alone.
This fear was slowly overwhelming him, and he breathed heavily.
Creak...
The bedroom door opened and Brayden ran in subconsciously, but he stopped just as he stepped out.
There was a person lying on the bed with black hair on the pillow, and her fair face was quiet under the light.
She fell asleep, lying motionless on the bed.
Brayden froze there as if time stood still.
Max ran in as soon as the door opened. He pulled the bed, barking, "Woof! Woof!" It wanted to go up, but it was unable to climb onto the bed with its fat body. Grabbing the sheets, it fell on the velvet carpet and turned upside down before it could climb up, which was very funny.
But no one noticed Max at this time. It wasn't trying to attract the attention of Olivia and Brayden. It just wanted to take a look at Olivia.
Max quickly got up, grabbed the sheet, and climbed up again accompanied by barks.
Its barks were loud, filling Brayden's eardrums, and ringing in every corner of the villa.
Brayden finally reacted. His tense body seemed to relax in an instant, and his back was slightly bent.

He wanted to walk over, but his legs felt heavy as concrete.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm down. He then walked over and sat on the bed.
Olivia slept soundly and seemed to be dreaming, but the dream was not good. She frowned with a pale face.
But Braydenwasn't paying attention. He looked at Olivia as if he was looking at an unreal treasure, and he had the urge to touch her but hesitated to do so.
He was afraid it was a dream.
But in the end, he reached out.
His finger landed on Olivia's face, and the real touch came from his fingertips. His fingertips trembled, and the fear in his eyes finally gone.
It wasn't a dream. She was by his side, right beside him.
Brayden could no longer control himself. He picked up Olivia and held her tightly in his arms.
Olivia... Olivia... Olivia...
"Woof... Woof..." Looking at Olivia, who was in Brayden's arms, Max kept barking. It barked loudly and finally woke Brayden up.
After Brayden regained his senses, he asked Max not to disturb Olivia, but something dawned on him as he immediately looked at her.
