Chapter 1083

Oliver gently wrapped his arms around Josefina's waist, drawing her in with a commanding presence she couldn't resist. His passionate kisses claimed every part of her, leaving behind the intoxicating scent of him.

Josefina was left breathless, melting against Oliver like butter in the sun. Holding her tight, Oliver's husky voice exuded a mischievous charm. "Josie, say it again, will you?"

His eyes twinkled with affection, but Josefina just pressed her lips together, refusing to give in.

Oliver chuckled softly, "Maybe I was a bit too enthusiastic."

Josefina pulled away from Oliver and returned to her seat, determined. "I need to have my dinner. I'm not talking to you."

She focused on her meal, trying to hide her flustered state. She couldn't deny it— Oliver was truly a master in the art of kissing.

"You go ahead and eat. Later tonight, I'll enjoy my own... meal," Oliver said, his deep-set eyes filled with a playful promise that made her heart race.

She couldn't help but think, men who've tasted indulgence are truly incorrigible.

...

Meanwhile, across town, Finley's mom, Mrs. Shaw, had returned from abroad and arranged to meet with Livia. Livia had been hesitant, but Angelyna's persistence wore her down.

Today, Livia decided to confront her, hoping to clear the air and keep her life undisturbed. She dressed simply in a black coat and wide-legged pants, letting her hair down and forgoing makeup.

As she entered the upscale bistro, unfazed by the curious glances from other diners, she spotted the elegant woman by the window.

Angelyna was dressed in a soft

lavender sweater, her makeup

impeccably done as though she was born that way Event her hair seemed perfectly in place. Her natural grace made her stand out immediately.

Livia approached and took a seat across from Angelyna, mentally gearing up for what she thought would be a verbal showdown. She was ready to hold her ground, despite standing alone in this.

Leaning back in her chair, arms crossed, Livia exuded cool defiance, every expression perfectly composed. She braced herself for the verbal sparring she expected.

But to her surprise, the ice queen, Angelyna, spoke first. "I knew any girl who could capture Finley's heart must be truly stunning."

Livia blinked, perplexed. Was she misreading the situation? Wasn't Angelyna supposed to offer her a check to make her disappear?

Or perhaps Angelyna was playing a deeper game, offering sweetness before delivering a sting.

Angelyna leaned in closer, her face even more striking up close. "Livia, your skin is incredible. Its as smooth and flawless as a peeled egg. What skincare products do you use? Could you recommend something to me?"

Livia was caught off guard, her mind racing. Angelyna's demeanor was nothing like she'd expected.

With a sheepish smile, Angelyna continued, "Actually, I'm here to apologize."

Livia was bewildered. "You're apologizing to me?"

"I didn't realize I raised such a

troublesome son! When he told me

everything, I was furious and gave

him a good talkin

king to booked the

earliest flight back to meet you in

person and apologize."

With that, Angelyna retrieved an exquisite velvet box from her bag. Inside was a

dazzling necklace that seemed to catch every glint of light.
