Chapter 286
Carlisle had saved Olivia, as well as Shane’s whole world.
It was undeniable that Carlisle was very wealthy, and Shane knew he was unable to repay him. He could only leave a sincere and appreciative remark at this moment.
As long as Carlisle didn’t mind, he was willing to
work for him for the rest of his life.
Olivia felt bad when she heard Shane’s declaration. He was offering to commit his life to Carlisle–all to repay him for saving her. She lowered her head and shed more tears.
Carlisle quickly said, “That’s too much. Sit down and eat.”
The group seemed to be waiting for him, as the dishes were still untouched.
Wanda moved her chair closer to Carlisle’s and whispered in his ear, “Shane lied just now.”
“I know.” Carlisle was aware. Shane had averted his eyes when he said he made money through sales. He was obviously lying.
Wanda asked in a hushed tone, “Aren’t you curious about how he got the money?”
Carlisle shook his head. I’m not curious. Everyone has their own secrets. He must have a reason for not telling us, so let’s not dig any deeper.”
Wanda smiled in understanding.
Meanwhile, Daniel looked around.
To his left, Shane busied himself with serving Olivia food. On his right, Carlisle and Wanda were whispering to each other.
It felt awkward for a single man like him to sit between them. He only felt better when he saw Francis eating alone opposite him.
With one arm on the back of Carlisle’s chair, Wanda leaned in and asked, “Are you free tomorrow?”
Carlisle turned his head and answered, “Yes, where do you want to go?”
He snuck a glance at Wanda’s arm on the chair behind him and smirked, then he leaned back to be closer
to Wanda.
Wanda blinked innocently as she contemplated aloud. “Let me see, I want to go–Ah!”
As she was speaking, Carlisle suddenly pushed his chair back, causing Wanda to lose her balance. She shrieked as she fell forward and kissed Carlisle on the cheek.
Her eyes widened in surprise and her face flushed red.
Shane and Olivia gasped simultaneously.
“Oh no!! My Innocent goddess actually offered another man a kiss! Daniel clutched his chest in pain as if
it was hard to accept reality.
Francis merely grinned. After all, it was rare to see people act so affectionately in public.
Wanda supported herself by holding onto Carlisle and straightening up. Her face was as red as an apple. Carlisle, you’re so annoying!”
Carlisle touched the cheek that Wanda had inadvertently kissed and smirked. “You’re the one who kissed me. Why am I annoying?”

“You know what you did! I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Wanda covered her blushing face and rant away in a huff.
Alarmed, Carlisle quickly chased after her.
Wanda didn’t run far before she stopped to look back–but Carlisle wasn’t there.
Wanda stomped her feet unhappily. “Stinky Pig, so you’re ignoring me?”
Just then, someone hugged her from behind.
Wanda let out another scream, causing the passersby to look in her direction.
Carlisle whispered in her ear, “Do you want everyone to see you like this?”
Upon hearing Carlisle’s voice, Wanda was relieved and her tensed body eased a little. Still, she didn’t forget to reprimand him. “Are you trying to scare me to death?”
Carlisle chuckled lightly. “Wanda, babe. Do you still want to run from me?”
Wanda flushed when she heard Carlisle calling her that. She mumbled, “Let go of me first. I won’t run
anymore.”
“But I don’t want to let go. I want to keep holding you like this.” Carlisle rested his chin on Wanda’s shoulder and let out a warm breath against her neck.
Wanda felt tingly and numb all over. She noticed the piercing stares of the passersby and said with a quivering voice, “People are staring at us. Let go of me quickly!”
“I don’t want to,” came his immediate reply.
“H–How about… we go to another place to hug?”
