Chapter 12
Even though Maggie had told Leonard that Olivia had the intention to cancel the engagement, he originally did not believe it.
It sounded impossible; after all, Olivia had been pestering him for so many years, and she loved him so much that even when Leonard humiliated her again and again, she would never let him go.
But today, the Clements family had come to their door, and they told Leonard's mother that they wanted to cancel the wedding.
He had tried so many times to get rid of Olivia, and to call off the marriage, but now that it happened, he felt inexplicably irritated.
Fortunately, Mrs.Tubman did not agree at all.
She smiled at the Clements.
"Withdrawing from the marriage is a big matter,’ she said.
"I have to discuss this with my husband.Don't you think so, in-laws?"
Madam Enya nodded.
"Naturally."
Of course, it was up to the patriarchs of both families to decide what was best.
Coincidentally, Mr.Elian Tubman had not gone to work today.
Mrs.Tubman quickly asked the butler to go to the grounds and find him.
The two families drank tea and waited.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Olivia, you must be bored sitting here" Mrs.Tubman said.
"I'll ask someone to take you to the backyard.It's a beautiful day, and the flowers are in bloom."
Olivia knew that sending her out was an excuse so Mrs.Tubman could talk to her parents.
She nodded and followed a servant out into the Tubmans' backyard.
It was indeed a sea of flowers.
Olivia told the servant to leave so she could wander around the garden.
It was the beginning of summer, the sun was just right, and the breeze was gentle.
She bent down and reached out to touch the delicate gardenia flower in front of her.
Its petals were soft, carrying a refreshing and natural fragrance.
It was extremely beautiful.
She was in a good mood...
A slender figure approached her, blocking the sunlight.
Olivia raised her head and saw Leonard.
The first thing he said was, "You really want to cancel your marriage?"
‘What is that tone of voice?’ Olivia thought.
She stood up and replied with a mocking smile.
"What, is Mr.Leonard Tubman unhappy with this information?"
"Of course I can't wait!" he blurted out.
However, he still wanted to know what was going on between her and Bruce Tubman.
That day, when Bruce hugged her waist at the entrance of the Dark Arena, kept replaying in his head.
Even though he never liked Olivia, she was still his fiancée.
However, before he could ask, Olivia scoffed.
"Alright, you can scram now.'' Leonard was astounded.
He almost exploded with anger.
"This is my home!" he cried.
"Oh” Olivia said.
She seemed so elegant and carefree when she turned around and left the garden.
She walked straightforwardly, but that made Leonard even angrier! In the past, Olivia never dared to turn away from him.
Every time, he was always the one who made the move to get away from her, and she would always chase after him and shout, "Leonard, wait for me, please!"
He would never look back.
However, since the day before yesterday, Olivia had stopped sticking to him.
Her eyes were no longer filled with joy—only mockery and hatred.
‘Does she hate me that much?’ Leonard was speechless as he watched her leave.
Under the blazing sun, the young girl's figure was slim and graceful.
Her entire body language screamed regality.
As she smiled and frowned, the heavens and earth paled.
Even when the garden was full of blooming flowers, it was not comparable to her silent beauty.
Leonard could not help but admit that Olivia was truly alluring, when he looked at her without prejudice.
It was just like...He did not like this—this marriage, he just wanted to cancel it.
He turned and left in the opposite direction.
Just then, a 13-year-old girl emerged from the flower bushes.
Seeing that her brother had left, Eleanor Tubman chased after Olivia.
Not long after, she stood proudly in front of her.
"Stop!"
"Is something the matter?"
Olivia looked at the little girl impatiently.
She was Leonard's younger sister, and she was extremely intrusive.
No matter who she was talking to, her tone was arrogant.
In the past, when Olivia was still naive, she had to curry favor not only Mrs.Tubman but also with Eleanor.She became humble because of this
Eleanor would ask her to bark like a dog, and she would not give her any trouble in return.
Thinking of the past, Olivia's lips curled into an unclear smile.
"Hey, what did you just say to my brother?" Eleanor demanded.
"Let me tell you, if you want to be part of our family, you must get through me first!"
"And then?" Olivia's tone was casual, and she almost laughed.
Eleanor thought that Olivia was admitting defeat, so she immediately picked her nose.
"Well, don't you see that my shoelaces are loose?" she cried.
"Kneel down and tie them! Hurry up, otherwise I'll tell my brother that you hit me! Let's see what happens next..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a crisp and loud slap.
Eleanor was stunned, and she immediately called for help.
She originally thought that Olivia would be afraid, but when she saw her expression, it was still cold and sharp .
"You're young, I won't argue with you,’ Olivia said.
"But if you're still arrogant in the future, I might sew your annoying lips together..."
If she had not received that slap, Eleanor might not have known that Olivia was serious.
After Olivia warned her, she immediately left.
Perhaps it was her bad luck that she got lost in the way, but Olivia saw a man and a woman making out with each other.
She was shocked—the man was none other than Leonard's father, Elian Tubman! No wonder they could not find him anywhere.
He was here...The place seemed to be where the maids lived.
If they do such a thing under Mrs.Tubman's nose, it would be a complete mess if they were discovered —especially when Olivia happened to see it! She subconsciously retreated; her first thought was to get out of there immediately.
She was here to cancel the marriage.
If anyone would find out about this, she would not be able to do that.
Just as she turned around, she accidentally bumped into the flower pot beside her feet; it broke with a loud sound.
Hearing that, Mr.Tubman put on his coat and rushed out.
Olivia was sweating profusely.
Just then, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into the junk room...
