Chapter 272
Brayden paused for a while.But in a few seconds, he came back to his senses.
He closed the thermos, covered it, and put it aside.He took the tissue and used it to clean the small table.
Then he went into a room to wash his hands.
After that, he came out and sat on a sofa.
“Olivia, sit down.’’ Olivia had been waiting for him to speak.
Now that he finally said it, she did not feel relaxed either.
Olivia sat on the sofa and looked at Brayden.
Brayden also looked at her.
“You just said divorce.I want to know what you think.”
He looked at her seriously, as if he was discussing something with her.
He was serious and focused.

“What’s not suitable?”
“It was not suitable in all respects.”
The atmosphere was quiet.
Brayden stopped asking.
But he kept looking at her as if he wanted to see into her mind through her eyes.
With his hands crossed and pressed against his lips, Brayden looked down for a moment and then looked up at her, “Olivia, let me tell you what I think”
Olivia paused and said, “Okay”
“We are husband and wife by name now, and it is a concrete fact no matter what happened.”
“And now if you divorce me, what happens after that? You don’t need to live anymore?”
“You need to live, you need to work, you will meet men in your life and in your work, you will have contact with them, they will have a good impression of you, they will pursue
you.And after Everett finds out, you will hide again, so you want to spend the rest of your life hiding?”
Olivia clenched her hands.
Brayden looked into her eyes and continued, “We don’t get divorced.We will live like normal couples do, during which Everett may do things bad to us.But so what?”
“Can he kill me or your parents?”
“Impossible.He won’t do that.Since he won’t do that, why are you afraid?”
Olivia shook her head, “You can live a better life.You can live happily without getting hurt.’’ Brayden smiled, “Happy? What is happiness?”
“Is it happiness to lie on the same bed with someone you don’t love and remain silent? Having dinner with someone you don’t love at the same table, without any warmth, is
that happiness?”
“If you think it’s happiness, then I don’t think so.I think it’s pain.’’ Olivia was silent.
Brayden took her hands, placed them in his palm, wrapped it up, and looked at her in an affectionate manner, “Olivia, the happiness in your mind is not the happiness I
want.The happiness you think is not the happiness I want either.Do you understand?”
Olivia looked up, her clear eyes were clouded with confusion, “But what happened that night made me feel ugly.I can’t forgive myself for allowing such a thing happened in my
marriage.”
She really couldn’t forgive herself.So, after she married him, she…couldn’t make love to him.
What would he get from such a marriage? Brayden held her hand tightly like shells hid the pearl safely.
His palms became hot.

“If that’s what you want to say, then you can blame me.I got our marriage certificate behind your back.”
Let her condemn him like this.
Olivia shook her head, “I don’t blame you.I was the one who broke the promise, as I promised you to get the certificate.”
Brayden smiled, “You think I didn’t know you left?”
Olivia was stunned.
Brayden smiled, “I knew it, I knew it before you had left.But I didn’t stop you, as I wanted you to fulfill your dream and leave no regrets.Of course, I was despicable for once.I
secretly took the household registrations to get the certificate.I want to tie you up for the rest of your life.’
“So, Olivia, don’t feel sorry for me.Don’t push me away for all sorts of reasons.I’ll give you a lifetime to figure this out.I don’t believe he can spend the rest of his life fighting
with us.’’ Brayden’s words touched Olivia’s heart.
She felt a little warmed and her heart began to beat vigorously.She looked at him seriously, “I can’t sleep with you.Is that also okay?”
“If you love a person, you can accept everything of the lover.If you do not love a person, you cannot stand anything.”
“Olivia, I love you.Even though you will give me nothing in this life and just stay by my side, I will still be happy and glad.’’
It was late at night.
