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! ...
