Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman's Indifferent Sinner Wife

Chapter 12

gentleness John was showing had once belonged to her, but it had been snatched away by another woman.‘Aren’t they ashamed, acting like lovebirds right in front of me?’Olivia gulped and clenched her fist. Each step she took down the stairs was heavy and reluctant.When she finally reached the ground floor, Dorothy lifted her head, and the smile on her face faded. She bit her lips and pretended to be wronged.“Liv, are you angry to see me here?“You must be angry with me. You’ve been upstairs for so long. I-I’m sorry.”Before Dorothy could finish her words, John interrupted her. “Dolly, you don’t have to apologize to her.”Then, he glanced at Olivia coldly. “Olivia, don’t ever bully Dorothy when I’m not around, or you’ll pay the price!”Dorothy immediately shook John’s arms and buried her face in his chest.“Johnny, don’t do that… After all, Olivia is your wife.”“Dolly, you don’t have to see her as my wife. She’s just a maid here.”‘She’s just a maid.’Those words made Olivia freeze like they were a spell cast on her. She looked at John in disbelief.She doubted if this was the man she had loved for four years.Was he still the man who had once doted on her like she was his treasure?He had been treating her coldly for two years and always refused to return home.

She looked to be in despair. When she could not breathe anymore, she grinned.It was scary and odd. John instinctively let go of her and frowned as he stared at her.He had never seen Olivia like this and did not know what to do.When the grip on her neck loosened, Olivia coughed. She quietly wiped off the blood she had coughed up on her black dress.Then, she lifted her head, looked at John, and laughed. “Johnny, am I not obedient enough?“You’ve tortured me for two years and never told me what I did to deserve it. Now, I want to set you free and give you and Dorothy a chance to get together, but you won’t let me go.“Johnny, isn’t that enough?”John stared at Olivia coldly. “No, it’s not enough! Olivia, you haven’t paid off your debts off!”He looked cold and domineering. It was scary.However, unexpectedly, Olivia was not afraid this time.She got up from the ground and looked at the man with a strange expression.“What have I done to make you hate me so much? Did I kill the woman you love? Or try to kill you? Or destroy your family?”John did not know what
