Oliver studied Logan's expression, sensing that there was more to the situation. "Trying to protect them?" he asked gently.Logan shook her head, her eyes filled with understanding. "It's not like that, hun. But they are your..."He cut her off, his tone firm. "It doesn't matter. These two are up to no good, so never trust them."Logan nodded lightly. "I understand," she said, appreciating Oliver's concern.Oliver's smile reassured her. He then inquired, "What are you doing here dressed like this?"Caught off guard, Logan hesitated. She couldn't reveal that she had gone to talk to Garcia. "Uhm... Actually... I wanted to go and ask the cooks if food is ready."Oliver nodded, his protective instincts still on high alert. "Are you hungry?"She nodded and admitted, "Yeah, I was feeling hungry, that's why."Drawing her closer, Oliver planted a tender kiss on her lips. "Alright, no problem. I'm going to my mom to talk to her. You should go inside and dress up. I'll make sure they serve you
Oliver nodded, "Take care of your health. I've spoken to the chef, so you won't eat anything that might affect you. And avoid eating at night, too."Garcia chuckled affectionately. "You've said it many times, don't worry."Oliver turned to Logan, his eyes softening. She looked on, teary-eyed, as he bid her farewell. She longed to go with him to the airport, but Oliver insisted on his own.Stepping outside, Oliver settled into the waiting car, prepared for his departure. The journey to the airport passed in quiet reflection, and after 45 minutes, the car arrived at its destination. Oliver disembarked, the car pulling away.He immediately dialed Vespera's contact, inquiring about their whereabouts.Vespera informed him that she was already on her way.Shortly after, a blue car pulled up, and Vespera emerged, exuding a quiet elegance. Beside her stood Maria, equally poised and lovely."Good evening, Master," Vespera greeted with a respectful bow.Oliver acknowledged her with a nod but dir
Maria wanting to speak to Oliver cleared her throat and looked at him. "You are not going with your girlfriend? Won't she be lonely?" she asked.Oliver looked at her coldly but didn't answer.Maria decided to give it another try, so she cleared her throat again and said, "Since your girlfriend is here, who's that gift for?"Oliver locked eyes with her, "Shut up and mind your business," he said.Oliver locked eyes with her, "Shut up and mind your business," he said.Maria forced a smile and nodded before keeping quiet.Oliver rested his head on the seat he was in. A few minutes later, the jet took off.Two hours later, the jet successfully landed at the airport. When Oliver got down, Maria followed.Getting out, Oliver realized Alice was already there with a car, and she came alone.She walked to Oliver and took his luggage. "Welcome back, master," she said with a bow.Oliver smiled and looked around, then took in a deep breath. "Feels good to be back," he said.Alice nodded and glance
Observing Zelda, Abigail couldn't help but notice that despite her gaze being fixed on the laptop screen, her thoughts seemed to be far away. Sensing her daughter's preoccupation, Abigail decided to draw her attention.She snapped her fingers, prompting Zelda to return from her reverie. Zelda looked at her mother, concern in her eyes. "What's wrong, Mom?" she asked.With a sigh, Zelda confessed, "To be honest, Mom, I really miss my husband. Tomorrow is the opening of my company, and he's not here to witness it." The weight of Oliver's absence was palpable in her voice.Abigail understood her daughter's longing and offered a reassuring smile. "I know, dear. It's natural to feel that way. But remember, he's proud of you, and he'll be there with you in spirit." She reached out and gently squeezed Zelda's hand, offering her support.Zelda sighed. "But mom, it's all his money and connections. I'm able to build my company and he won't be here to watch his wife's opening ceremony." She said
Oliver's smile widened as he opened his arms. "I'm back home, hun," he said warmly.Zelda's heart swelled with joy as she rushed into his embrace. She held him tightly, feeling a rush of emotions. "I miss you so much, hubby. I was just speaking of you, you didn't even tell me you were coming," she said, her voice filled with a mixture of surprise and happiness.Oliver chuckled softly, his arms still wrapped around her. "Actually, I wanted to surprise you," he admitted. He gently pulled back, his hand tilting her chin up as he leaned in to kiss her, a deep longing evident in the touch of his lips. "I've missed you," he confessed.Zelda reciprocated the kiss with passion, her heart racing. She then trailed kisses down his chin and neck, her voice filled with affection. "Trust me, Oliver, I've been thinking about you all day and night. I miss you so much," she murmured.Abigail, standing a bit behind them, cleared her throat playfully. "The whole night is for the both of you. For now,
Zelda was stunned." Mom, you know the name?" She askedAbigail nodded. "Of course, who doesn't know the Christian Louboutin stiletto heels? It's a very famous pair of heels which I heard cost $2000." She said"$2000?" Zelda was stunned. "That's too expensive." She said"Of course even the customised ones are very expensive." She replied. Abigail turned to Oliver and asked son in law is this for your wife? Oliver shook his head and said mom these are customised heels for you. Me? Abigail was stunned, she snatched the heels from Zelda and to her surprise her name was customised.Abigail couldn't contain her astonishment as she held the customized heels in her hands, the name "Abigail" elegantly etched on them. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Me?" she stammered, completely taken aback.Oliver's affirmative response left her speechless. She felt a rush of gratitude and joy surge through her. "Oh my God! My son-in-law bought me this? Bless him, bless him with more prosperity!" Abigail
Zelda shook her head, trying to regain her composure. She looked at Oliver with wide eyes and asked, "Oliver, is that not the Fabergé Imperial locket?"Oliver was taken aback. He hadn't expected Zelda to recognize it. "Yes, it is. How do you know about it?" he inquired, genuinely surprised.Zelda nodded, her expression a mixture of awe and disbelief. "I know quite a bit about it. Oliver, this piece is valued at $30 million. How did you get it?"Gasp!" $30 million?"The room fell into stunned silence. Abigail, too, was rendered speechless, her eyes wide with shock. $30 million? She couldn't believe her ears.Oliver, struggling to process this revelation, muttered, "Thirty million?" It was a revelation even to him. He hadn't realized it held such immense value. Knowing he needed to act swiftly, he forced a smile and cleared his throat."Yes, you're right. It's worth around $30 million, but, Zelda, this isn't the authentic Fabergé Imperial locket," he explained, his voice steady, though
Oliver kissed Zelda's cheek and said, "My wife is naughtier than me."Zelda smiled but didn't say anything."Anyway, about your company, what's up with it?" Oliver asked.Zelda smiled and said, "I was waiting for you to ask. Of course, the building is done, and the opening ceremony is tomorrow night.""Really?" Oliver was stunned. "That fast? But why didn't you tell me about it? Does it mean if I didn't return today I wouldn't have known?"Zelda sighed and said, "Mom and I were even discussing how to make it a broadcast so you could watch it live from New York.""Oh, I see. Anyways, I'm back now, so no need. So who's coming?" He asked.Zelda took in a deep breath and said, "Well, not many. Manager Lisa will be there, and some of the workers. I don't have the resources to invite high-profile guests, so for now, Manager Lisa might be the only well-known person attending, along with just a few guests."Oliver nodded with a smile. "That's great. What would you do if high-profile people wer
