Chapter 124 Find Someone to Test Her
Chapter 124 Find Someone to Test Her
With the warmth of his hand on hers, Gwenda shifted her focus to the large screen with great difficulty.
But eventually, she began to relax, taking note of the plot of the movie.
The movie that Olivier picked was one of those classic films.
The main leads courted each other, and the pacing of the plot was slow.
Gwenda was not interested in romantic films, so she began to feel sleepy while watching.
As she yawned, she did everything she could to prevent herself from falling asleep.
...
After all, she was not alone on the bed. Olivier was with her. She absolutely could not fall asleep...
But the more she tried to hypnotise herself, the sleepier she felt.
In the end, she could barely keep her eyes open, and her head was lolling about.
Beside Gwenda, Olivier turned to look at her and asked in a low voice, "Sleepy?"
"Yeah."
Gwenda nodded dazedly, her eyes half-lidded.
"Go ahead and sleep then."
Wrapping an arm around her, Olivier pressed her head against his shoulder before patting hers. "Just
sleep. Sleep well..."
Gwenda knew that she could not lean against him, but she could barely keep her eyes open as it were.
"Olivier... I'll just lean against you for a bit! Just for a bit."
Olivier could not help but laugh as he caressed her head affectionately. "It's okay, you can lean on me
as long as you like. Go to sleep."
Upon hearing that, Gwenda could no longer keep it up. Her eyes slid shut and she fell asleep.
Olivier glanced at her for a moment before he lowered the volume of the movie. Then, he covered her
with a nearby blanket.
Because of the warmth of the blanket, Gwenda subconsciously nuzzled into his embrace, similar to a
slumbering cat.
A smile made its way up Olivier's face and he tightened his grip on her.
Just like that, they lay together on the bed, with Olivier watched the movie while Gwenda slept.
...
Downstairs, Wendy and Melanie had just gotten back from fishing when they found out that Olivier and
Gwenda were watching a movie on the bed. Melanie grinned from ear to ear when she heard that.
"That's not too bad at all! It seems that I'll be getting my grandchild soon enough."
Hearing that, Wendy chuckled and said, "Grandmama, you're too optimistic. In my opinion, Olivier still
has a long way to go before he successfully woos Gwenda." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Hush, you! Don't say such nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense! When I tricked Gwenda into the room yesterday to be with Olivier for the
whole afternoon, she was angry when she came out."
Wendy sighed and continued sadly, "Think about it. If Gwenda really liked Olivier, how could she be
angry?"
"Is that true?"
Melanie's smile vanished, replaced by worry.
"Why would I lie to you, grandmama!"
"Then what should we do..."
Old Madam Melanie was dejected.
A romantic getaway had been arranged as well as the opportunity for them to spend time together.
What else could she do next? Force them to get married?
"Actually, you don't have to worry. Based on the novels that I've read, a side character is usually
introduced when the main leads' relationship is stuck in a rut! This should incite their relationship to
grow, and voila, problem solved!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well... In other words, we have to arrange for a harmless person that Gwenda feels threatened by! In
simpler words, it means that we need to find someone to pretend to be Gwenda's rival in winning
Olivier's affection."
Wendy made her analysis sound logical and clear. "People usually change their attitudes once
someone tries to take away something that belongs to them. So, we can use this method to test
Gwenda's feelings towards Olivier."
Melanie only grasped half of what Wendy had said. "Are you sure it'll work?"
"That's how the novels write it!"
"Are you sure your studies will not be affected by reading such novels all day?"
Melanie frowned.
Wendy froze. "Grandmama, that's not what we're talking about now! You should focus on Gwenda!"
Melanie fell silent.
After pondering for a while, she muttered, "Well, this method isn't exactly impossible..."
"Let's give it a try then!"
Getting excited, Wendy was in high spirits. "Let me see, who would be suitable to carry out the test..."
Both women began to plot.
After a long moment of consideration, Wendy suddenly had an idea and a potential candidate popped
into her mind. "I know! We can find Jazlyn!"
