From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 84

Olivia Bennett shook her head. “It’s fine. See our guest out, please.”

Then, turning to Daniel Gill, she said, “We can’t do what you’re asking. You should go.”

With Adelina Lane in the room, Olivia didn’t want to air their dirty laundry, but her tone was unmistakably frosty.

It was clear this wasn’t the time for pleasantries. Daniel shot Olivia a long, searching look, pressed his lips together, and said, “Alright. I’ll leave. Just… think about what I said.”

Olivia didn’t move a muscle. Daniel’s expression flickered—something like regret or defeat—before he turned and left.

Adelina watched him go, her eyes turning cold for just a second before she put on her usual warm smile for Olivia. “Has today been busy?”

Olivia replied, “Not really. About the same as usual. By the way, what brings you here?”

Adelina’s smile widened. “Those photos you took of me yesterday? I really liked them. I was home, bored out of my mind, so I thought I’d swing by and see if you have any other looks I could try on. Maybe snap a few more pictures?”

“Of course! Come in, have a seat. Let me show you what we’ve got,” Olivia said, ushering her inside.

Meanwhile, Daniel sat in his car, watching through the window as Olivia laughed and chatted with Adelina, looking so much more at ease than she’d been with him. The sense of helplessness in his chest grew heavier.

It seemed like everyone could get a smile from Olivia these days—everyone but him.

He didn’t know how to handle Lavinia Bennett—he always ended up giving in to her. And with Olivia, he was just as powerless.

Was he really supposed to ask Olivia to take engagement photos of him and Lavinia? That would be unbelievably cruel.

He couldn’t bring himself to do it. He was afraid he’d only push Olivia even further away.
