Lucas was too oblivious to notice anything off about Olivia.

    In Hirica, when the weather turned cold, people loved to gather around a seafood boil, tossing in shrimp and ms and dipping them in the garlic butter sauce from Kingtonelle that left a lingering fragrance in their mouths.

    As soon as the pot started boiling, Lucas hurriedly threw in the shrimp and ms. He asked, “Olivia, want some shrimp? Crab legs? All for you. And the mussels–I’m telling you, theye out so vorful.”

    Lucas was talking a mile a minute, and Olivia couldn’t get a word in edgewise. She just nodded. She watched as her bowl filled up like a small mountain.

    Just as Olivia lowered her head to grab a bite, her hair kept falling into her face, which was kind of a pain.

    Seeing this, Andrew pulled a hair tie out of his pocket and, without missing a beat, tied her hair back for her.

    Olivia munched on the meat and shot him a quick, “Thanks.”

    Andrew replied, “Just something I did in passing. Aren’t you curious why I have a girl’s hair tie on me?b” /b

    “It’s not hard to guess,” Olivia replied, still eating, without even looking up. She went on, “That hair tie is pink and way too cute–something for a little girl. I’m betting it’s Jenny’s.”

    “Ms. Summers, you’re sharp,” Andrew said with a smile, dropping a few pieces of beef into her bowl. And, almost offhandedly, he asked, “Ms. Summers, do you know the Phantom Healer?”

    Lucas, who was still chewing on a piece ofmb, immediately looked up, thought, ‘Did Andrew find out?‘

    his eyes wide. He

    Andrew topped off Olivia’s water, his finger lightly resting on the cup. Honestly, his hands were slender and fair, with sharp joints–pretty attractive.

    Olivia found herself sneaking a few more nces before she replied offhandedly, “I guess so.”

    Andrew nced up at her, a teasing smile on his face. He said, “Honestly, I was starting to think you might be the legendary Phantom Healer.”

    Hearing this, Lucas spat out a mouthful of water and started coughing uncontrobly.

    “Slow down, Mr. Grant,” Andrew said.

    “I’m good, really,” Lucas said, clearing his throat and coughing a few more times into his hand. His eyes

    darted around nervously, and he even flinched a little.

    Avoiding Andrew’s gaze, he busied himself poking around in the pot and muttered, “The shrimp are donee on, dig in.”

    Ethan just shook his head helplessly. He thought, ‘People always get extra fidgety when they’re feeling guilty.‘

    Olivia, on the other hand, was surprisingly calm. Her expression gave nothing away as she took a sip of the water and said, “You and Jenny are alike. She asked me the same thing.”

    Andrew stared at her, as if trying to see right through her. He said, “I’m really curious what you’d say, Ms. Summers.”

    Olivia met his gaze without a flicker. She then replied, “No. The Phantom Healer everyone talks about is supposed to be some middle–aged guy in his forties or fifties.

    “I’m not an old man, and I’m nowhere near that age, so how could I possibly be Phantom Healer? Do I really look that old to you?”

    Andrew was taken aback for a second, then chuckled softly and shook his head. He said, “Ms. Summers, you’re young and gorgeous–no one would ever call you old. If you say you’re not, then I believe you.”

    Andrew already had his own answer in mind, but he chose to trust Olivia. He’d believe anything she told him.

    “Do you know Ivy, the heiress of the Summers family in Kingtonelle?” Olivia asked out of the blue.

    “Yeah, I know her,” Andrew replied, stopping Lucas just as he was about to grab thest shrimp. Instead, Andrew dropped it into Olivia’s bowl and added, “Why the sudden interest?”

    Lucas froze mid–air, staring at Andrew in confusion.
