Rebit of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 43: Hubby, Feed Me

Liam glanced briefly at Vance before turning his warm, affectionate gaze back to Olivia.

“Livi, if Alexander ever dares to bully you, just tell me. I might be old, but I still have the strength to break his legs.”

Vance thought, Maybe my brother is the adopted one. Olivia must be Grandpa’s real grandchild!

Though Olivia had already decided to leave Alexander, that didn’t stop her from keeping Liam happy.

“Grandpa, he didn’t bully me. Just a few days ago, he gave me a $400,000 piano.”

Technically, he paid for it, so it counts as a gift.

Liam blinked in surprise. Did I hear that right? The brat finally knew how to buy gifts?

“Well, that’s more like it. But Livi, you should buy some new clothes too,” Liam said, subtly hinting for his grandson to step up.

Alexander showed no reaction. Liam’s brows furrowed in displeasure.

“He said he’d take me shopping for clothes in a few days. Isn’t that right, Hubby?” Olivia said, pretending to be close as she sat next to Alexander and clung to his arm.

She was serious about keeping Liam happy, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t take advantage of the situation.

Alexander was speechless. Lately, Olivia’s behavior in the Wilson family had changed noticeably. The woman who used to orbit around him now treated him like he didn’t exist. Yet, in front of Liam, she clung to his arm like they were the perfect couple?

Since Liam was present, Alexander didn’t say much, though he frowned slightly as Olivia clutched his arm.

Unaware of the undercurrent between the two, Liam cheerfully called everyone to the dining table. The massive table was filled with Olivia’s favorite dishes, a testament to Liam’s thoughtfulness.

When Vance used his fork to take a piece of what appeared to be mandarin fish, Liam clanked it away with his own fork.

“That’s Livi’s favorite! What are you eating it for?” Liam glared at him.

Vance was stunned.

“Livi, you eat it,” Liam said, his tone instantly gentle as he placed the fish on Olivia’s plate.

Speechless, Vance quietly aimed his fork at the braised pork. Liam slapped his fork away again.

“That’s Livi’s favorite too!” Liam declared as he handed Olivia another piece.

Vance was on the verge of tears.

“Grandpa, am I even your biological grandson?” he asked in despair.

Liam, unbothered, replied, “No. Your dad is,” Liam added.

Vance didn’t know how to respond. Ignoring him, Liam turned to Alexander with a stern expression.

“You’re a grown man, and you still don’t know how to take care of your wife. Why aren’t you serving Livi any food?”

Faced with Liam’s command, Alexander, expressionless, added a piece of food to Olivia’s plate. But her plate was already piled high with food, courtesy of Liam, leaving no room for more.

Olivia blinked, then smiled brightly and opened her mouth.

“Hubby, feed me.”

Ah, how the tables turn! Alexander’s face instantly darkened. Liam coughed pointedly. Alexander took a deep breath, picked up the food, and fed it to Olivia.

Vance, caught off guard, was force-fed a mouthful of “dog food.” Liam, on the other hand, was delighted.

Throughout the meal, Olivia and Liam interacted warmly, while the Wilson brothers barely tasted their food.

After dinner, Alexander excused himself and went upstairs. In her past life, whenever Olivia and Alexander visited the old mansion, he would use “work” as an excuse to avoid being alone with her, retreating to the study on the second floor for the night. It was less trouble for Olivia then, and now she was even more eager to keep her distance.

As it was getting late, a servant led Olivia to the bedroom Liam had prepared for them. With Alexander and Olivia leaving one after the other, the grand hall was left with just Vance and Liam.

Vance tried to slip away, but Liam grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

“What’s going on today? Why did you and Livi arrive together?” Liam’s warm demeanor vanished, replaced by a stern expression.
