When Love Becomes a Thing of the Past (Zoey) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 I will protect you!

Olive didn’t have any male friends. But she held the phone and deliberately teased him.

“Yeah, there are so many handsome guys in the Ivory Council. I met some today.”

Elvis didn’t mutter another word. After some seconds, he let out a low and provocative

laughter. “Oh, really?”

Olive knew that he was already angry. She did not dare to provoke him further. So she

stopped laughing and said, “I lied to you, they are not as handsome as you.”

Elvis’s smiled and muttered. “Little liar, lying doesn’t suit you, don’t you think so?”

“Mr. Augustine, you’re the most handsome man to me, other guys handsomeness is

none of my business.” She expressed her loyalty to him.

Elvis felt pleased with her words. He knew he shouldn’t be interfering in her private

affairs. But she was way too intelligent and beautiful, he knew she’ll be wanted by

numerous men.

“Olly.” He whispered.

Olive rarely heard him refer to her as “Olly“, as he was fond of calling her Mrs.

Augustine.

“What?” Olive questioned.

“Olly, I don’t like boys who study medicine. Don’t get close to them.”

“Oh. Mr. Augustine doesn’t like boys who study medicine, but likes girls who do. What

an irony.” Olive replied with a laugh.

“Olly, I’m serious. My brother studied medicine. He has been a medical genius since he

was a child. He is quite good.”

This was the first time Olive had heard him talk about his family. North had told her that

Elvis had only come to LA seven years ago. She had thought that Mrs. Samantha was

his only relative..

“Mr. Augustine, do you have a brother?”

“Step brother. My mother passed away when I was still young. Mrs. Augustine is my

stepmother.” Elvis chatted. Olive shivered. She hadn’t expected Elvis’s background to

be similar to hers.

“So his father, stepmother and his brother who is a medical genius lived together, and

he lived with his grandma in LA?” Olive pondered inwardly.

Elvis had always been a mature and reserved man. He had never disclosed this prior.

He always did say little or nothing about his family.

“Mr. Augustine…”

“I don’t want to listen to you now. Study hard and take care.” Elvis hung up immediately.

Olive stared at her phone screen angrily. He was the one who called her, and also the

one who hurried to end the call.

Olive placed her phone back on the table. The man who often like sleeping had

returned.

Olive was really frightened. His footsteps were very light.

Olive halted and stared at him. Elvis sat in the car leaning his back on the chair. He was

wearing a gray shirt. The color looked gorgeous on him.

She didn’t lie, he was the most handsome man that she had ever seen.

“Mr. Augustine, I’m here!” Olive announced.

Elvis glanced sideways and got out of the car. Olive ran over and rushed into his

embrace.

Elvis wrapped his hands almost instantly around her slender waist.

Olive pressed her face into his embrace and rubbed her face like a kitten. “Mr.

Augustine, why did hang up on me just now? Are you afraid that I’ll comfort you?”

They had both come to know each other. And it was rare for Elvis to be seen in a pitiful

situation. “I’ve already forgotten what I said, so should you.”

Olive nodded obediently. ” Okay, it’s okay if you chose to forget it. But never forget what

I’ll say to you now. I don’t want to comfort you.”

“Okay?” Elvis furrowed his brows.

“From today onwards, I’ll always protect you.”

Elvis spanked her waist with his right hand. ” Protect me? You?”

“Mr. Augustine, don’t underestimate me. They are three people, but there are also three

of us, grandma, you and I. I’m not afraid of the medical geniuses, if they dare to bully This belongs to cHAPtērSFlōW_/com.
