That glance made Olivia feel more guilty.
“Are you free tonight?” she asked.
Xavier nodded. “Yes.”
“Let me buy you dinner.”
Xavier thought he had misheard. He was startled and asked, “Pheebs, did you just say you want to buy
me dinner? Did you suggest that? Are you serious?”
Olivia sounded helpless when she said, “Are you coming or what?”
“Yes, of course. I’m just a little flattered.”
“Is there anywhere you’d prefer to eat?”
Xavier thought for a moment and took her hand. “Yes, I will take you to a place you will like very much.”
“Really?”
“I promise. You can beat me up if you don’t like it.”
Olivia burst into a laugh, and she asked, “Why would I beat you up?”
Xavier opened the passenger’s seat for her in a gentlemanly manner and protected her head from
getting knocked. Then, he helped her put on the seatbelt, closed the door, and got into the driver’s

Sometimes, Olivia got the feeling he was a playboy.
However, sometimes, she felt he was serious.
In any case, she felt relaxed when she was with him.
When he started the car, she asked, “Do you know why I want to invite you to dinner?”
“Why?”
“One reason is to thank you, and the other is because I want to clarify some things.”
Xavier smiled wryly. “Pheebs, you’re breaking my heart. I just saw hope when you invited me to dinner,
but you crushed it right away.”
“Sorry. I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea.”
She looked at him and said, “I don’t want to lose a friend like you, either.”
Xavier his eyebrows and said, “You consider me a friend of yours?”
“Yes. I didn’t want to get too close to you, but you’re an interesting person, and I think an extra friend
wouldn’t matter.”
“Pheebs.”
Xavier’s voice sounded helpless. “You are so merciless.”
“Huh?”
Olivia was in a puzzle. She did not know what she had said that was wrong.
The next second, Xavier smiled at her and said, “I like it.”
Olivia was speechless.
‘I have said so much for nothing.”
Xavier was stubborn indeed.
The two chatted as they headed to the restaurant.
Suddenly, she noticed they were getting further and further away from the city as if they were driving
deep into the mountains.
“Where are we going?”
“A small restaurant in the mountains.”
“It sounds creepy when you put it that way.”
“Why? It’s a great place to dine. All the people who can eat there are rich, and you have to make a
reservation.”
Olivia froze. “You made a reservation?”
“Yes.”
Olivia had a feeling she was being tricked by Xavier.
Sensing Olivia’s uneasy reaction, Xavier added. “I made the reservation for a month.”

“I remembered you liked Ocean City’s food, but I couldn’t cook that cuisine. So, I looked around the city
and found this place.”
Xavier smiled and said, “I didn’t know which day I would be able to meet you, so I made the reservation
for a month so I could bring you there anytime.”
Olivia was shocked.
She did not know he was so considerate.
It was just that…
“You shouldn’t have put so much effort into me.
“I’m not as good as you think I am, Xavier,” Olivia said as she looked out the window at the greenery on
the hill.
Xavier, however, looked indifferent and said, “So what? Nobody’s perfect. It’s not like I have al crush on
you because you’re perfect.”
“I’m not a good person.”
Olivia looked at him and emphasized each word.
She had killed someone, gone to prison, and had a past married life she did not want to recall. It
was not worth it for him to put his effort into her.
Besides, she did not want to date anyone anymore.
