Chapter 1127 A Familiar Man

Henry stood up and said, "Okay, you don't have to look for them if you don't want to. I just wanted to tell you about this. I have his number here, and if you change your mind, you can contact him. You can show him a fake necklace too; there's no saying you can't find something from him. It's still a lead, isn't it? But this is just a suggestion of mine, and you can decide whether you want to meet him or not. I…"

At his words, Olivia sensed that he was about to leave, but she had barely said anything to him. Hence, she asked urgently, "How are you?"

Henry jolted at the sudden question before he slowly lowered himself back onto the couch. "I'm doing quite well. Without Anna constantly kicking up a fuss, it's just me and Amy now. Sometimes the kids will go to see Hugo for a few days, so things are pretty quiet."

"What about the company? How is it doing?"

Choosing to hide the bad news from her, Henry replied, "The company's all right. We got a large order a few days ago, and it's enough to keep us busy for a while."

Hearing that, Olivia stood up and retrieved a card from her bag before handing it to him. "There's 150 thousand in this card from my salary. I saved it for you to get something to eat."

"No, no, I have enough money," Henry hurriedly refused her offer.

However, Olivia stuffed the card into his hand and said fiercely, "Just hold onto it. Did you know that you've lost weight?"

At these words, she felt a lump in her throat. "Mom is going to say that I didn't take good care of you."

Henry's eyes immediately turned red, and his hand trembled as he held the card.

"Olivia… I'm sorry."

Not wanting to burst into tears, Olivia quietly readjusted her breathing and said, "It's fine, it's all in the past. In fact, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you and Mom, I would've frozen to death in that hospital!"

"A-Are things going well with you and Eugene?" Henry probed tentatively.

Olivia nodded. "Yes, he treats me well. You don't have to worry about me."

"Good, good," Henry mumbled.

"Olivia, someone's looking for you outside." Sophia's voice sounded by the door, followed by three knocks.

"I'm coming," Olivia replied.

Henry rose to his feet once more. "I'll get going, then. If you need anything… Just give me a call."

Olivia nodded and said, "Same goes for you. Call me if you need anything."

Henry didn't reply, but he bobbed his head profusely as his heart warmed. Did Olivia finally forgive him?

As Olivia looked at his slumped figure, she felt her eyes burn with tears as she was forced to accept a cruel fact. He had gotten old, even more than when she had first returned. Now, he seemed to even struggle with his gait.

She inhaled deeply and left the office with Henry. Immediately, she caught sight of the unfamiliar man standing by the entrance. He was leaning slightly on the front desk and exuded an air of nonchalance. When he saw her, a smile appeared on his face, but it was a smile that was strangely filled with mischief.
