The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 464: Chapter 461: Don’t Say You Fell in Love with Me
Olivia Sawyer knew her limits, she might have fooled around outside before but would never bring a man home.

Those men knew she had someone she liked and would never take it further. However, now even a random boy could utter the words “not worthy” to her.

“Huh…I’m not worthy…” Jeremy Norman’s face was extremely cold. He grabbed Olivia’s chin and gently patted her face, “Hey, wake up, tell me, am I not worthy? Olivia, don’t pretend to be asleep…”

The boy irritably pulled Jeremy’s hand away, “You’re not worthy, neither am I, but I am not like you, an air conditioner. You have someone in your heart, but you still string her along.”

“If you like her, then just openly pursue her. What’s the point of playing ambiguous games…”

After saying that, the boy simply picked up Olivia and entered her room.

There was a loud “bang” as the door closed behind them.

Unable to describe the feeling in his heart, Jeremy felt painfully short of breath.

No, he couldn’t let the brat be alone with her. Who knows what might happen between them overnight…

Jeremy walked to the door and looked at the combination lock, smirking.

He remembered Olivia saying her password was his birthday.

Jeremy pressed a few numbers, but it was wrong.

He tried a few more, and it was still wrong.

Did Olivia change the password?!

Jeremy felt a sudden emptiness deep in his heart, staring blankly at the lock.

He didn’t try again.

Olivia had indeed changed the password or, in other words, she wanted to remove him from her life.

The image of the boy’s metaphor about the air conditioner came to his mind.

Maybe that’s what Olivia thought too, that he’s an air conditioner.

All these years, he took her dedication for granted and never thought about reciprocating. He knew she loved him, but he had only been willing to stay friends with her.

Thinking about it this way, he was quite awful.

If he were Olivia, he probably wouldn’t stay friends with himself.

Jeremy got up, preparing to leave.

Just then, the door opened, and the boy came out, leaving without looking at anyone else.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks, seeing Olivia.

She was wearing a sexy red strapless dress, leaning against the door frame, her drunken eyes lazily fixed on him.

“You’re really hard to get rid of.”

Jeremy had just lit a cigarette and handed her one too.

Olivia’s long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, lowering her head and quickly biting the end of the cigarette.

Her movements were natural yet tantalizing.

“Tell me, what do you want from me? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me.” She slowly blew a smoke ring, her fingers pinching the thin cigarette. “Recently, you’ve come to find me almost as often as you have in your entire life.”

Jeremy looked deeply into her eyes, “Even if we can’t be lovers, can’t we at least be friends?”

“How many people can be friends after failing to be lovers? Those who can be friends are usually just hiding their hidden desires, not really letting go of anything.”

“So, are you saying…you still haven’t let go of me?” Jeremy caught her main point.

Olivia paused for a moment.

Jeremy kept a smile in his eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly curved, like a bright crescent moon at night.

Olivia felt a bitter sting in her heart, a flash of sorrow deep within.

“I’ve let go.”

Even if she didn’t want to let go, it was time.

She was tired.

Jeremy said nothing, simply gazed at her intently.

“Jeremy, you can get tired of chasing after someone too.” Olivia’s drunken eyes cleared a bit, “A lot has happened to me lately, and I’ve come to understand many things.”

“I’m tired, Jeremy. Let’s call it quits.”

Olivia’s voice was exceptionally soft as she said goodbye to him and to her past.

Jeremy looked at her, trying to determine the truth in her words.

He knew that from the moment Olivia publicly confessed her feelings, they couldn’t go back to their past relationship.

Neither of them lacked friends.

“What if, instead of being friends, we become lovers?”

Olivia was taken aback, wondering if she had misheard.

“What did you say?”

“Not friends, but lovers.” Jeremy looked at her steadily. “I’ve never been in a relationship, perhaps I won’t be a good boyfriend, but I can learn.”

“Olivia, do you want to try being my girlfriend?”

There was a deathly silence in the air, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Olivia felt a sinking feeling in her heart, her breathing nearly stopped.

If it had been before, she wouldn’t have dared to dream that Jeremy would say such things to her.

Being lovers, being boyfriend and girlfriend?

Olivia bit her tongue hard, finding her sanity again.

In that moment, not just her body, but her mind was also blank.

However, when she regained her thoughts, the shock gradually turned into a bitter feeling.

Olivia looked down at her own feet, finding the situation somewhat ridiculous.

Ever since meeting Molly Walker, she had been trying to emulate her style.

Her face was naturally gorgeous, and when dressed up, she somewhat resembled Molly in demeanor, even getting accustomed to that style.

But Molly Walker was still Molly Walker.

On this planet, the person Olivia admired and respected most was probably Molly.

It wasn’t surprising that Jeremy liked Molly, but it was strange for him to confess his feelings to Olivia afterwards.

If Jeremy had still been his old self, she might not have changed either.

But he’d confessed his feelings to her.

“Jeremy, did you confess your feelings to me because she rejected you?”

“Molly didn’t want you, so you came to me for consolation?”

Olivia laughed, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing the dim look on Jeremy’s face, Olivia understood everything.

She could accept Jeremy not loving her, or even loving Molly for a lifetime.

She wouldn’t feel bitter about losing to a woman like Molly.

What she couldn’t accept, however, was being a substitute for his emotional needs.

He never looked back at her during all those years at his side, but now that Molly was with Michael Gallagher, he suddenly turned back?

How ridiculous.

“Just go, Jeremy. We can’t be lovers.” Olivia lowered her eyes and sighed softly. “You saw the man just now, didn’t you? He likes me, treats me well, and respects me. We’re in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship now.”

“Jeremy, I’m now someone else’s girlfriend.”

That phrase “someone else’s girlfriend” was like a boulder weighing down on Jeremy’s heart.

He couldn’t describe the feeling, but his chest felt stifled.

“Alright,” Jeremy clenched his fist. “I wish you happiness.”

After reaching the elevator, he couldn’t help but look back.

Olivia had closed the door.

Jeremy gave a bitter smile; he’d lost Olivia.

After all these years, it was time for him to set her free.

Only now, it seemed, did he feel the loss of something important.

He sighed deeply and exhaled the stale air.

He’d lost a friend and someone who loved him.

“Ding,” the elevator door opened, and Jeremy was about to enter when he ran into a familiar face.

“Nicholas Thompson.”

Seeing the man standing in the elevator, Jeremy was a bit surprised.

“I finally found you.” Nicholas smiled, looking weary. “I have something I want to ask you in person.”
