BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127: Olivia's Feeling
"A… Alex, can you release me already?"
\'Vesa, have you finished?\'
[Give me twenty more seconds, King.]
Alex didn\'t reply to Olivia since he was still biting at her neck; instead, he raised his finger in front of her eyes and made a gesture of no.
Seeing his answer, Olivia\'s face turned even redder like a tomato. She could guess what Alex was doing, but she couldn\'t help her own feelings.
Even though her body was controlled, Olivia could see and feel everything that had happened.
If not because of the situation, she would want to find a hole and hide herself inside it. Olivia let out a sigh and then closed her eyes.
Feeling Alex\'s warm body pressing against her made her heart beat loudly like a drum. Without realizing it, Olivia raised her hand, hugging Alex\'s body tightly, surprising Alex.
\'Even though I know it\'s because of the parasite, seeing him evade my kiss really hurts,\' Olivia thought to herself.
Olivia then realizes she cannot keep everything bottled up like this; otherwise, she will explode at some point, and the situation now is perfect since Alex cannot reply.
"Alex, there is something I want you to know," Olivia said with a muffled soft voice.
"I… I… like you."
Alex\'s mind froze the moment he heard her confession; it was something he never expected to happen.
"I do know you don\'t have the same feeling anymore. Now you like that woman, MingYue, but I cannot just bottle all of this up; it makes me crazy, Alex."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "You don\'t have to feel burdened with my confession. I just want to get it out of my chest. I will be grateful if you act like this never happened."
Olivia\'s eyes start glistening with tears.
"Alex, when you avoid me like a plague, I start to realize how important your presence is in my life.
Our constant chat every night, talking about novels or your favorite game, I miss all of it.
When I feel like this, I try to read some of the novels you like, but I cannot enjoy them at all; every moment reminds me of you. After some time passed, I knew I needed you in my life, Alex.
As your sister, friend, or girlfriend, it doesn\'t matter. If keeping you in my life requires me to see you in a romantic way, then so be it."
Olivia\'s voice cracked, "Last time I lied, Alex, I have tried thinking of you in that way, and I started to fall for you. But the more this happens, the more I don\'t know how to face you. I keep pushing it back, thinking I need to find them first.
I know the risks, Alex, I know how dangerous going to that place is, and I am prepared to do it all the way, even if that costs my life.
Dead or alive, I need to see them. Otherwise, I will never be able to keep on with my life."
Olivia then let out a sigh, "But even with that determination and putting in all my effort, there is no progress at all.
I am frustrated; it feels like everything that can go wrong went wrong. It\'s like being stuck in a never-ending cycle of hope and despair. It\'s exhausting, Alex.
But then Emily contacted us, telling us she had a way to reach that place and how she wanted to revive the guild.
You don\'t know how much that news gave hope to me, Alex. And when I knew you were the one behind it…"
Olivia\'s voice trailed off since she could feel Alex pull out his teeth from her neck. He then gazed at her golden eyes while his lips started opening, wanting to say something to Olivia, but Olivia stopped him.
She moved her finger, closing his lips.
"The moment I knew it was you, I just knew it would all be alright, and that is when I realized I like you. I feel safe and secure only when you are around.
Many people look down on you, comparing you with your father, while you are lazing around at home. Your father did many great things, but I know you are not like that, Alex.
I know if you put your heart into something, then you will achieve it no matter what.
So, I convinced Quartz to come back with me. But then, when I finally met you again, you dropped a bomb on me; you don\'t like me anymore, and you have someone else. It\'s painful, Alex…
Actually, I don\'t want to tell you this; I am afraid it will put some distance in our relationship again, but I cannot bottle it up anymore; it makes me crazy."
Olivia then took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and her hand wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "There, I said it. I feel better now."
She then took a few steps back from Alex, "I will return to the camp first. You should follow after you change your clothes. I don\'t even know how you drenched yourself with spice water."
Her gaze then turned sincere, as her lips curled into a sad smile, "And Alex, please act like you never heard this, okay? Take it as my selfish request.
I don\'t want another variable in our relationship for now. Let\'s continue like always. Will be the big sister, and you are my brother. "
She then quickly left the area, leaving Alex standing there stupefied.
Five minutes passed by, and Alex was still standing in a daze. Olivia\'s confession was just too much for him to take in. He didn\'t know what to do now.
