“Thomas, do you have time after work tonight? There’s a new movie that everyone says is really good. How about watching it with me?”

After much hesitation, Molly finally gathered the courage to ask Thomas out.

However, Thomas opened his eyes and shook his head. “No, thanks. Maybe another time.”

He couldn’t afford to have the leisure to watch a movie right now. The news about Olivia dating was spreading like wildfire outside. No one knew which family would target her next. He had to protect Olivia around the clock.

As for watching a movie with Molly, he decided it would be better to wait until this matter was put to rest.

“Okay…”

Molly pouted, feeling extremely aggrieved. It seems like it’s a no-go for me. Miss Pearson is far more charming than me anyway. It’s no wonder Thomas rejected my invitation.

It was already 8.00PM when Thomas and Olivia finally left the office. There was no helping it; there were too many things that Olivia needed to tend to.

Initially, he wanted to cook dinner when they returned home, but she turned him down.

Having grown up in the Pearson Family, where boys were favored over girls, Olivia believed that men should not be in the kitchen. To her, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning were the women’s responsibilities.

Thomas tried to refuse several times, but it was in vain. He had no choice but to yield.

After dinner, Olivia washed the dishes, bid Thomas goodnight, and went upstairs to rest.

It had been an exhausting day of work. She was even dozing off when she was in the middle of cooking.
