Chapter 9 Blind Date

"Olivia, when are you going to have dinner with Josiah?" Grace called Olivia early in the morning. As if nothing had happened that day, she still called Olivia.

Although Grace would not let Olivia see any boys of a rich family, what Grace talked about was Josiah. Every time she called, she only wanted Olivia to take Josiah home. Olivia had wanted to forget him, but now she heard his name almost every day, reminding her of that night.

"I have told you that we are not like what you think!" She was really tired. She was so tired! The person she wanted to get rid of was always around her ears every day; the memory that she wanted to forget was always replayed in her mind. She could not forget.

Maybe, she could really marry a rich man as her mother wished, so that she wouldn't have to listen to her mother's voice every day, and she could forget some memories that she shouldn't have remembered

"Olivia..."

"Mom, can you arrange another blind date for me?" Before her mother lost her temper, she made another excuse to make her mother calm down and stunned.

There was a rare silence on the other end of the phone. She smiled bitterly. Maybe she should have thought it through long ago! In the end, she couldn't escape from her mother's control. If she compromised earlier, she could save a lot of trouble!

"Olivia, what did you just say?" Grace still couldn't come to herself from the shock. She couldn't believe it, but what she wanted more was to confirm that what she had heard was true.

What happened to Olivia? Why did it change so fast? What happened?

"That's what you heard. Well, I have to go to school now. Call me after you arrange it!" Olivia didn't want to talk to her mother anymore. She hung up the phone immediately, leaned against the wall and looked up at the ceiling.

Who said that fate was in her hands? She struggled for so long, not she gave up her fate first, but because fate had never favored her! Her fate had never been in her hands!

"Olivia, I've been looking for you for a long time! Why are you hiding here? Class is about to begin! " Freya, who trotted all the way here, stopped in front of Olivia, panting. She pouted and complained to her.

As soon as the class was over, she saw Olivia walking out in a hurry with her mobile phone in her hand. She had thought that Olivia would make a phone call, but she didn't expect that Olivia would not come back after calling for so long. So she found Olivia immediately. She didn't expect Olivia to hide here in a daze leisurely!

"I'm sorry!" Since that night, every time Olivia saw Freya, she would unconsciously feel guilty and self-reproach. This kind of pressure had been torturing her and she did not dare to face Freya.

"Why do you apologize? Well, you don't look well. What happened? " Finally noticing Olivia's heavy expression, Freya gently touched her face and asked worriedly.

"No... I'm fine! " The touch of Freya hand reminded Olivia of Josiah... Stop! "Freya is Freya. Don't try to find an excuse to miss him!

Didn't we make a deal? I couldn't fall in love with him! Why am I still so disobedient?" Olivia thought. She shook her head hard, trying to get rid of his face from her mind! "Damn it! I can even think of him in front of Freya. Damn it!" Olivia scold herself.

"Olivia..." Looking at her painful and pale face, Freya felt a surge of heartache. What on earth made her so sad? Why couldn't Olivia tell her?

"Let's go. Isn't the class about to begin?" Olivia avoided eye contact with Freya and apologized, "I'm sorry, Freya. I didn't mean it!

I don't want to do that, but I can't control myself! But I'll be fine soon. As long as I marry someone, I won't be like this anymore!

I will definitely forget him. At that time, he will still belong to you completely!" Olivia thought.

"Olivia, are you really okay?" Freya held Olivia's hand and looked at her thoughtful face with a frown.

These days, Olivia was always in a trance. She couldn't even focus on class, and sometimes Olivia would avoid seeing her. When she asked Olivia, Olivia always said that she was fine, but refused to tell her anything.

But Freya's intuition told herself that something must have happened to Olivia, but she didn't tell her!

"I'm fine. Don't worry!" Shaking her head, Olivia smiled at Freya, bypassed Freya and walked towards the classroom.

"Don't you take me as your friend?" Freya caught up with Olivia and blocked her way. Today, even if she skipped a class, she had to figure it out!

"Freya..." Biting her lips, Olivia wondered if she should tell Freya these unhappy things. With Freya's character, she must be very angry! But Freya would be sadder if she didn't tell Freya?

"Olivia, if you take me as your friend, you should tell me everything!" Freya yelled at Olivia excitedly. She didn't want to be Olivia's friend on the surface. She didn't want to do nothing to help her! Shouldn't friends trust each other and share weal and woe?!

"I asked my mother to arrange a blind date for me." Olivia looked at Freya calmly and said with a gentle smile, as if she was talking about something else.

"You... But don't you hate your mother's arrangement the most? Why did you... " Frowning, Freya looked at her abnormal friend in disbelief. What happened? Why did she change her mind in the blink of an eye?

Why would a person who was so eager to control her fate be willing to give up her own fate and accept the arrangement of others?!

"Because I know that no matter how I resist, nothing can be changed. My fate is still in the hands of my mother, and I am just a little mouse struggling in the cage. Ridiculous and futile!" Leaning against the wall, Olivia smiled with self-mockery, and her eyes were clearer than ever.

This was the first time she had expressed her feelings to others, and perhaps it would be the last time.

"You are not supposed to be like this!" Freya still couldn't accept the fact that Olivia had abandoned herself. Olivia should actively fight against her mother and stick to her own fate!

Olivia looked so fragile and vulnerable, like a porcelain doll that could be broken at any time.

"I've thought it through! If I accept my mother's arrangement, maybe I can live a peaceful life in the future. " Olivia lowered her head to look at her toes. She knew that Freya was caring about her, but what she needed most now was her encouragement!

But she knew clearly that Freya would not support her idea, so she did not expect that Freya would encourage her! Even if she fought alone, she would stick to the decision she had made!

"Olivia, if you insist on doing this, I despise you! Do you think you can live a stable life as long as you follow your mother's will and marry the man she arranged? Let me tell you, you are dreaming! As long as you accept her arrangement, it will be the beginning of her game! You will only be trampled on by others in the future, and you will be at the mercy of her like a puppet. You... " Freya shook Olivia's arm hard, trying to wake her up from her wrong thoughts. Olivia had always been calm, but how could she be so irrational?

"Stop it. I've made up my mind." Olivia pushed Freya's hand away and gently interrupted Freya's dissuasion. Her decision had been announced with a firm look.

"You will regret it!" Freya turned her head to look at her and said sadly. Then she turned around and ran to the classroom. She really felt that Olivia's life was ruined by her mother.

"Maybe." Looking at the back of Freya who left with hatred, tears fell from her eyes. Her tough body finally collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

Freya was right. She knew all these, but if she didn't let herself give up completely and completely forget what shouldn't have happened that night, she would be more regretful!

"Freya, I hope you can understand me in the future..." Olivia thought.
