CHAPTER 042 OLIVIA'S POV " Olivia , since I got married to you , you don't take spicy foods , " Adrian said , his tone firm as if he was trying to catch me in a lie . I folded my arms and let out a dry laugh . " And how would you know that ? " I asked , raising a brow . " Last I checked , you were never around . You were either ignoring me or .. oh wait ... cheating on me . " I said sarcastically . Adrian let out a tired sigh , rubbing his temple as if this conversation was draining him . I'm not doing this . Dinner is over ," he muttered . He grabbed a napkin , wiped his mouth , and stood up to leave . " She has to apologize for what she did ," Dora's voice rang out , sharp and full of irritation . Adrian stopped for a second , but instead of responding to her demand , he simply said , " Let's go now . " Dora , clearly unsatisfied , grabbed a mug of juice from the table and threw it to the floor , shattering it into pieces . I swore , breaking things was becoming her hobby at this point . Without another word , she turned around and stomped after Adrian , her heels clicking against the floor angrily . I watched them leave with an amused expression , but then the head chef approached me and bowed slightly . " Thank you , ma'am ," she said quietly , still shaken from the whole ordeal . " There's no need to thank me ," I replied , placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder . " It was my fault . " She looked up at me in confusion , but I simply smiled . " Your cooking is amazing . Keep it up , " I added before turning back to my meal . -1 picked up a fries and popped it into my mouth , feeling truly satisfied with how things . had gone . Sure , I had wanted the pepper to burn Dora's tongue , but the reaction I got instead ? That was pure gold . The way she jumped around asking for milk , then how she drank it like a rabid beast - 1 nearly lost it . Honestly , she should consider joining a drinking contest . She'd definitely win . With a smirk , I pulled out my chair and sat back down . Their appetite might have been ruined but not mine I was still hungry . Successfully unlocked ! I grabbed several dishes and pulled them in front of me - mashed potatoes , chicken curry stew , rice and beans , and some buttered rolls . My stomach growled in anticipation . 1/9 CHAPTER 042 These past few days , I had been eating a lot , and a small part of me worried that I might get a big tummy . But then again , there was a gym here , so I could just visit there whenever I was free . Problem solved . As I continued eating , I thought about what was coming next . Round two . Dora might think she could just throw tantrums and stomp around like a brat , but I wasn't going to give her a second of peace throughout her stay here . And even when she left , I was still coming for her . Noway was I letting her off that easily . By the time I was finally done , I was stuffed . I leaned back , rubbing my stomach . slightly . Okay , maybe I ate a little too much . Moving around was going to be a bit difficult now . I stretched my arms , exhaling slowly . But that didn't matter . It was time for round two . Without hesitation , I stood up and made my way straight to the master bedroom . Of course , he took her there again . I pushed open the door without knocking and found exactly what I expected . Doral was pacing the room , looking like she had just had an argument , while Adrian was lying on the bed , scrolling through his phone like he couldn't be bothered by her theatrics . I smiled to myself . I always loved the look on Dora's face whenever she saw me . The way her lips curled in disgust , the way her nose flared like she was about to explode - it was pure entertainment . Sometimes , I wished I could record it . Her eyes snapped to me , and she froze for a second before narrowing them in annoyance . " What are you doing here ? " she snapped . I tilted my head and gave her a look . " Hmm , let's see ," I said , pretending to think . " I haven't divorced him yet , which means I'm still his wife , and I want to go to bed . So I should be asking you that question . " Dora's jaw clenched , and she stormed toward me , stopping only inches away . " I've had it with you ," she seethed . " Get out , or I'll throw you out myself . " I let out a dry laugh . " Like the way you pushed me that day ? " I asked , my tone darkening . Her expression faltered for a split second . " You think I've forgotten ? " I continued , my voice dripping with bitterness . " You took something important from my life , and I'm going to do the same . " The room fell silent . Out of the corner of my eye , I noticed Adrian's attention shift . He slightly lowered his phone , his brows furrowing as he processed my words . Dora , however , smirked . And that smirk boiled something inside me . " Well , " she said slowly , tilting her head . " If you don't leave , you're going to be having déjà vu . " Was she actually planning to push me again ? I let out a scoff and moved to sit on the bed , deliberately ignoring her . I faked a yawn and stretched my arms . " Man , I am so tired of hearing your blabbing ," I said lazily . " And you've only been here for a few hours . " Dora's hands balled into fists at her sides , and I could practically see the steam coming out of her ears . Just then , Adrian's voice cut through the tension . " Jesus Christ ," he muttered . " Can't you two stay an hour without being at each other's throats ? " I smirked . " I mean , I could , but she's the one who ... " " I tried to ignore this ," Adrian interrupted , his patience clearly wearing thin . " But that's not working . So get out . " I sighed dramatically and was about to get up to leave . Of course , he was taking her side . But then Adrian spoke again . " Not you ." I froze , my eyes snapping up to his Dora's smirk disappeared instantly , replaced by shock . " What ? " she blurted out , spinning to face him . Adrian sat up on the bed , locking eyes with her . " You heard me Dora just leave . " Dora's face twisted in disbelief . " You're kicking me out ? For her ? " Adrian didn't waver . " I said what I said ." I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from smiling too much . 口 0 Likes CHAPTER 043
