章節 123: Olivia told Rick everything

Chapter - 123

Rick's arms enveloped Olivia like a warm, reassuring blanket, providing a sanctuary for her turbulent emotions. He couldn't help but smile as her sobs gradually transformed into inaudible gasps. The dampness from her tears on his shirt was a small price to pay for the warmth he felt.

As the minutes ticked by, Olivia's tumultuous sea of emotions seemed to calm to a gentle ripple. Reluctantly, Rick released his hold, but a comforting hand lingered on her shoulder, a silent promise that he was there for her. Olivia, however, was more interested in inspecting her shoes, as if they held the answers to the universe in their worn soles.

"I'm really sorry about that. I didn't mean to…" she mumbled, her words like a hesitant melody, stealing glances at the wet spot on Rick's shirt.

With an easygoing chuckle, Rick reassured her, "No harm done. My shirt is a certified tear sponge. Very absorbent."
