His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 222

Olivia's new place was not too far from the company, and the rental was incredibly cheap. The only downfall was that she had to cross that alley. She did not think it was a big problem; thus, she rented the place.

Olivia turned around after stopping at the staircase." I'm here. Thank you."

Edward stopped walking. "You’re welcome."

"That..." Olivia scratched her head and revealed an embarrassed smile. "They are still waiting, so I won't ask you to go up with me. I'll treat you to some tea another day."

Edward opened his mouth and muttered two words," Not necessary.”

"All right, goodbye." Olivia did not know what to say to a reply like that, so she waved her hand. She noticed he was still standing there and not moving, so she went up the stairs. At the stairs landing, she stopped and looked down, but Edward was still standing there. Olivia waved and said, "You go ahead."

"Oh." Although Edward said this, he remained rooted to the spot.

Olivia had no choice, so she did not say more. She hurried up the stairs and tiptoed into the house, worried about waking her mother. Next, Olivia went to

her room and turned on the desk lamp. After some thought, she looked out of the window toward the ground floor.

The tall and stout figure remained under the yellow street lamp. Edward even raised his head. He turned around only after seeing the light in her room light up. Unhurried, he headed for the alley.

Olivia felt a warmth in her heart as she watched Edward’s back profile getting smaller with distance.
