Your Presence Defines Love

"Olivia, can I bring a friend back for dinner?" On the other side of the phone came the pitiful pleading of Freya Qin. Her soft and lovely voice made others unable to refuse her request.

"Okay. It doesn't matter." With a gentle smile on Olivia Tang's face, she thought, "This girl always acts like this. She not only has food and drinks from me, but also makes excuses to bring different people back." She didn't know why she had made friends with this girl and became best friends.

"Okay, thank you. You're so kind!" Freya Qin immediately shouted happily and made the sound of kiss.

"Gee, it's so disgusting!" Olivia pretended to be disgust her, but she couldn't help smiling. This girl was really good at expressing herself. She could always easily express what she thought to others through actions or words, which Olivia could never do it in her life.

"What! God can prove that I really love you! ! !" Freya protested with grievance, stretching out two fingers to swear. Although Olivia couldn't see it, Freya was still very serious!

"Okay, okay, I believe you! I have to hang up. I'm shopping. " Olivia shook her head helplessly, and Freya's oath appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She really couldn't do anything to her. Every time Freya always said it, she could remember each words. Should the girl change a new one?

"Okay! Bye! " Freya grinned and hung up the phone.

Looking at the "Beep" phone, Olivia was somewhat absent-minded. Just a few minutes before Freya called her, she received her mother's call. Her mother's words were still in her ears, "Olivia, come home on Sunday night. I miss you." It might be normal for other people's mother to say that, but this was her mother!

"But I have something to deal with on Sunday night!" She knew that her mother would never miss her. If her mother didn't find a boy from a rich family for her, her mother would never think of her. She didn't want to go home. As soon as she got home, she felt uncomfortable. Every time she came back home, she would see different men looking at her like evaluating goods. She knew what it meant. She knew why her mother was eager to marry her out, because those men who came to her home were either rich or powerful, and entering the upper class was her mother's dream all her life. Her mother would not miss any opportunity to make friends with rich people, and she became a pawn in her mother's hand.

"Is there anything more important than Mommy? You should know that I have worked hard to bring you two up... " Grace Liu continued to say it day after day, year after year. She used these words to control Olivia, and it worked every time.

"Okay, I know, Mom. I'll go back when I'm free." Olivia interrupted her with a frown. She knew that her mother would tell her how she had worked hard to bring her and her brother up. These words were so fake. From childhood to adulthood, these words had accompanied her growth. After hearing too much, even she felt that her mother was very fake. In her heart, her mother was like her creditor. And what she owed her mother was the favor of raising her in the past twenty years.

She didn't know what other people's family was like. Was it the same as her? The family was just a place for trading, a place for a child and a mother to trade. As for family affection, she didn't know what kind of happiness it was! Her mother had never taught her this Even if her mother had taught her the definition of happiness, she believed that it was distorted true. She would not be stupid to believe the so-called happiness her mother said! Perhaps in her mother's heart, money, power and status were the happiest things!

Freya said that the word "mother" were very warm. The thought of her mother would make people feel very happy and comfortable! Every time Freya mentioned her mother, there would be a very dazzling light on her face, and her eyes would flash with something that was very strange to Olivia. Olivia did not know what it was, because that kind of thing had never appeared in her life. She also had a clear estimation of herself that these things would never appear in her life, forever...

Before Olivia was 18 years old, her mother had arranged everything for her. Because her mother was afraid that she would get fat, her mother always didn't let her eat too much. She couldn't eat high calories or sweet food. She could only eat some light food. Her mother said that only in this way could she keep a good figure! In fact, what she wanted to say only in this way that she wouldn't make those rich boys unhappy!

She even had to be supervised by her mother to wear clothes. She could only wear a dress like a princess, a lace skirt. Jeans and T-shirts were never allowed to appear in her wardrobe. Every time she bought clothes, she bought them for social engagements and for a blind date. Her mother always said, "Well, it's very beautiful. He will definitely like it." But her mother never asked whether she liked it or not.

When she was 18 years old, her mother arranged her to go to a private noble school and be arranged between the children of high officials and wealthy businessmen. According to the actual situation of her family, she was not allowed to enter such a high-end school. Similarly, she was so abrupt and did not fit with the noble group, but it was not up to her to choose. The only choice she had was to force herself to adapt to such an environment and to be stronger and independent.

After she became sensible, there was always a question in her mind: what on earth did she live for? Was it to pay for her mother's raising her up? Or to help her mother enter the upper class? Or for her brother's future? Why didn't she do it just for herself?

"Hello, Miss. It's 172 dollars in total." The cashier's voice interrupted her thoughts and pulled her back to reality.

"I'm sorry!" Looking at the impatient team waiting behind her, Olivia apologized. Then she took out her wallet and handed the money to the cashier. "Damn it!" She felt so humiliated to let so many people wait in line for her!

"It doesn't matter. I'll charge you 200 and give you 28. Please count them." The cashier smiled politely and returned the money to her.

"Thank you." Without even taking a look at it, Olivia put the money into her wallet and quickly left the counter with the bag. She didn't want to let so many people wait for so long! ...

"Hey, why are we here?" Josiah Nangong frowned and looked around. He didn't think there was any place for him to eat here! Josiah couldn't help wondering if this guy was out of his mind. Did this guy cheat him and plan to sell him out when this guy said that he wanted to invite him to have a meal?

"Have a meal!" Jayden Li blinked his eyes and took it for granted. Was there anything wrong to have a meal here?

"Are you sure?" Josiah Nangong pointed at the door with his chin, showing his distrust of Jayden. Didn't they go to the hotel for a meal? Why did they come here? Eat human?

"Come on! Your eyes hurt me!" Jayden pressed his chest and pretended to be very painful. His handsome face wrinkled innocently and aggrievedly, as if Josiah really trampled on his dignity.

"I just don't want to waste my time with you." After saying that, Josiah turned around and was about to leave. He didn't even bother to look at Jayden. This guy was really good at playing tricks. If he hadn't grown up with Jayden, it was hard for him to tell whether it was true or not! Josiah was just too familiar with this brother, so he felt that a bad thing was approaching him.

"Well, since we're already here, let's go inside and have a seat. At the worst, I'll invite you to G Hotel later!" Jayden stopped Josiah immediately, with a flattering face. What! It was not easy for Jayden to deceive Josiah to come here, and if Josiah went away like this, his efforts today would be in vain!?

"Invite me to my hotel for a meal?" Josiah looked at Jayden coldly. This guy's plan was really good! Everyone knew that G Hotel was under Josiah's family's property. This guy not only ate for free every time, but also often dined in Josiah's name. He was really good! How dare Jayden say that he would invite Josiah to have a meal in G Hotel!

"Uh..." Damn it! He had forgotten that his target was Josiah, the boss of G Hotel! Jayden stuck out his tongue secretly, trying to forget what he said just now!

"Brother?" A sweet voice interrupted the conversation between the two. It also helped Jayden to get rid of the embarrassing situation, and let Josiah understand why he felt uneasy. Looking at the sweet and lovely girl gratefully, Jayden walked over, hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss on her face.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Confused, Freya looked at the abnormal Jayden and felt a little embarrassed about his intimacy. Although they two had a good relationship, it didn't seem to be so exaggerated!?

"Nothing." Jayden shook his head innocently, but snickered in his heart. Of course, he wouldn't tell her!

"Josiah, why don't you come in?" Freya looked at Jayden suspiciously for a while, but she couldn't find anything. She decided to let him go. She immediately ran to Josiah and held his arm, acting like a spoiled child.

"Have a meal?" Josiah looked at Jayden coldly. He finally understood why this guy tried his best to pull him here. The brother and sister were obviously premeditated! Everyone in their families knew this girl's love for him. She had never hidden her love for Josiah since childhood. She always followed Josiah, pestered him and showed affection to him. No matter how Josiah explained that he only treated her as a sister, she didn't listen to him and still cared about him. He was really helpless about her, but he couldn't find a way to solve it.

"Ah... Have a meal!" Jayden asked, "Freya, which house is it? Take me there. I'm starving to death. " Well, Jayden had no choice! Freya knew some secrets about him. If he didn't do as she said, he would die miserably! Therefore, for the sake of his lifelong happiness, he could only sacrifice this good friend!

"Well! Let's go, Josiah. " Freya happily held Josiah's arms and rang the doorbell, but her eyes never left Josiah. The blazing eyes made anyone she contacted excited. Only Josiah turned a blind eye to her and didn't look at her. She pouted sadly. Why didn't he like her so much?

"You're back..." When Olivia opened the door with a smile, she was surprised to see the two people behind Freya. Her smile froze for a moment and immediately returned to normal. "Come in, please." Olivia stepped back and made way for them.

"Olivia, let me introduce to you. This is my brother, Jayden. This is a good friend of my brother and me, Josiah!" Freya held the hand of Josiah. When she introduced Josiah, a different tenderness appeared in her eyes. Anyone with a discerning eye could know what was going on at a glance.

With an understanding smile, Olivia reached out her hand to Jayden and said, "Hello! I'm Olivia. " As for Josiah, Olivia didn't reached out her hands because she seemed to see Freya was too possessive! Olivia didn't dare to touch his hand, or Freya would be jealous to death!

"Hello! I've heard you from Freya. Now, I see you today. She didn't exaggerate! " Jayden greeted Olivia warmly with a typical smile on his face.

"Don't listen to her!" With a smile, Olivia said. "You can sit down. I'll go to the kitchen first!" She knew that Freya would treat them better than her. After all, they were all her friends. They would feel uncomfortable if she was there.

"Let me help you!" Jayden said. This was the best chance for him to leave without being embarrassing between Freya and Josiah and get along with such a beautiful woman. Why not? Ha ha...

"No..."

"Let's go!" Before Olivia could refuse, Jayden pushed her to the kitchen.

"Mr. Jayden, it really doesn't matter. I can do it alone!" You would only... Of course, Olivia wouldn't tell him this. After all, he was Freya's brother. But the kitchen was so small. If he was here, it was even more crowded here!

"Give them some space!" Jayden let go of her, giggled, looked at the two people in the living room and whispered in her ear. Although he could feel someone's gaze from the living room, he still chose to ignore it on purpose.

"Well, you are right!" Olivia nodded and burst into laughter. It turned out that Freya had crushed on a boy and he was so handsome. No wonder there were so many boys chasing after her at school, but she ignored them! But this man looked so unruly and indifferent. How could Freya fall in love with him? She had thought that with Freya's lively personality, the boyfriend she found must be relatively cheerful and kind like Jayden...

"Wow! Olivia, the dishes you cook are really delicious! " Looking at the dishes on the table, which were all delicious and colorful, Jayden couldn't help giving a thumbs up to Olivia. He didn't want to have dinner here either. If it weren't for Freya, he would have had a big meal with Josiah in G Hotel. But this result was really beyond his expectation!

"It's good that you like it." Olivia was used to the praise of others for her cooking. Every time she went on a blind date, her mother would make an appointment at dinner time. Of course, she couldn't escape the task of cooking. And every time the result was that she would be appreciated by those men. She thought that maybe she didn't need to be so beautiful. They might want to marry her just by that meal!

"Of course. I've told you a long time ago. You just don't believe it yourself!" Freya raised her head high to look at Jayden. On the contrary, she was more proud than Olivia, as if the dishes were made by her.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong! Mr. Freya, please forgive me! " Jayden rolled his eyes at Freya and raised his hands to surrender to Freya, which made Freya giggle. The whole dinner was amused by the two of them, and everyone was happy and relaxed.

"I can forgive you. Let me see your sincerity!" Freya snorted and looked at him with her arms crossed over her chest, as proud as a little princess.

"Hey, are you satisfied with my sincerity?" He looked at Josiah and said to Freya. Jayden thought, "This girl was getting more and more arrogant. It was all grandpa's fault. He spoiled her!" The Qin family had always had a thriving male family, but there were very few girls. Freya had her own brother and three cousins, but she didn't have female cousins. Freya had two uncles, and she was the only girl in the three families. So, when Freya was still in her mother's belly, grandpa began to care about her! Now, Freya was lively, sweet and pleasing. Her grandfather took her as a rare treasure and took good care of her. No one in the family dared to do anything to her.

"Well!" At the mention of Josiah, her eyes immediately changed. Compared with her arrogance and unruliness just now, at this moment, she was as gentle as water, looking at Josiah affectionately, and smiling foolishly.

"It's so unfair! Why do you treat us so differently? " With a sad look on his face, Jayden protested in a strange voice.

"So what? Are you unhappy?" Freya glared at him and raised her chin provocatively. It seemed that she was going to have a fight with him if he was not happy, which made Jayden clench his fists and endure.

"Well, if you continue to fight, the dishes will be cold!" Olivia had to stop the two from bickering. They looked so harmonious and tacit. How Olivia wished she could get along with her family like this! But what about her family? Her brother would only use her as an excuse to hide behind her and let her take the blame. Perhaps he didn't treat her as his sister at all!

"Who fought with him? I'm not that bored!" In the end, Freya didn't want to let Jayden go. But under the gaze of Olivia, she reluctantly closed her mouth and made a face at Jayden.

"You!" Jayden stared at her and turned his face away angrily, but he could do nothing to her.

Looking at the two people who were still "angry", Olivia couldn't help shaking her head. They were really like two children! Olivia turned to look at Josiah. He just lowered his head and ate silently. He ignored their conversation as if he could not hear it.

Looking at his expressionless face, Olivia couldn't tell what kind of comment he made on her dishes. This man was too cold. His eyes were too deep, and he didn't say much, but his whole body was full of coldness... Although he had a beautiful face and a perfect figure, no one dared to approach him. The farther away she was from, the safer she was.

Josiah raised his head and looked at Olivia coldly as if he had sensed her gaze.

As soon as Olivia met his eyes, she lowered her head immediately, with a flush on her face. Her heart was beating so fast! It was so embarrassing that she was caught on the spot!

"Olivia, what's wrong? Do you feel bad? Your face is very red! " The two crazy people finally calmed down. Freya looked at Olivia strangely. The temperature in the room should not be too high, right? Why was Olivia's face so red?

"What?" Freya's sudden question almost made Olivia choke on the food in her mouth. Feeling a little embarrassed, she touched her hot face and lowered her head. "No!" Was it so obvious? She couldn't tell her that she was caught on the spot because she peeped at someone.!

"Are you okay?" Worried, Freya touched Olivia's forehead. Fortunately, it was not hot.

"What's wrong?" Sitting next to Olivia, Jayden reached out his hand and patted her on the back in case she was choked by the food.

"I'm fine. I just choked on the food by accident. Lt's eat. You didn't eat just now. The dishes are cold! " Olivia quickly changed the topic and put some food into Freya's bowl. After successfully diverted her attention, she secretly glanced at Josiah and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not reveal her "crime".

"Josiah, eat the specialty dishes of Olivia. I like the Dongpo pork cooked by her most!" Freya picked up a piece of Dongpo pork into the bowl of Josiah, and then rested her chin on her hands, looking at him intently, as if she would be full as long as she looked at him.

"Okay." Josiah nodded and didn't refuse her kindness unexpectedly. It was not that he had changed his mind, but that he had wanted to pick up the food. She happened to just put it into his bowl, and he didn't refuse her.

"Wow!" Jayden looked at Josiah with a sly smile.

Hearing this, Freya blushed shyly and lowered her head, while Josiah just glanced at Jayden coldly without any response. However, that glance made Jayden stuck out his tongue and lowered his head, trying to eat the food in his bowl.

Olivia couldn't help chuckling. The three people's movements were all funny. When she found that her laughter attracted the attention of the three people, she restrained her smile and shrugged.

"Olivia, you know what? My brother has been praising your cooking! He also said that he would come here for free meals next time! " The two of them lay on the lawn behind the campus, comfortably basking in the warm sunshine. They covered their faces with a book, quietly enjoying the time.

"Okay, as long as he likes my cooking." With her eyes closed, Olivia took a nap. It was rare for her to skip classes. Moreover, the weather was so good, and even the sun cooperated with her. This kind of life was really enjoyable! However. It had been a long time since she had dinner with them last time. She guessed that Jayden just said it casually!
