Trapped in His Love Obsession

Chapter 26

The one who disliked this situation the most was Brown. His face was sour, even more like folded old newspapers in the terminal. Usually, he still looks handsome even without smiling. But not this time.

He walked closer.

“Sorry, Miss Helena, please keep your attitude.”

Helena let go of her hug, and she could still smile very sweetly. “Sorry, Assistant Brown, I just missed Damian so much.”

That longing look was honestly in Helena’s eyes. But it still can’t be accepted by Brown.

“Young master.” Brown touched Damian’s arm.

As if he had just woken up from the shock, Damian looked at Helena, his gaze gentle. “You haven’t changed, have you? You always do everything you want.”

Helena chuckled. She covered her mouth with her hand, doing it very sweetly, mesmerizing the viewer.

Livia chuckled like she was looking at the acting of a beautiful woman who was smiling. She even wanted to ask for a photo together because she was fascinated.

“She is lovely indeed,” Livia muttered beside Damian.

“Uh, is this Livia? Clarissa already told me she’s your wife.” She reached out a hand that Livia grabbed politely, but her gaze and speech were aimed at Damian.

“How are you, Miss Helena?”

*Don’t be too polite to me, just call me normally. I’m Helena.” The beautiful girl patted the back of Livia’s hand gently.

‘She’s so nice. Come on, Helena, I’ll help you reunite with Master Damian. And if you can get back into his arms, I can be free. So let’s be friends and help each other achieve our life goals.’ Livia couldn’t help but be excited.

The gallery opening ceremony begins.

Damian’s speech was greeted with applause as the main investor. Then Helena, who is the star of the day, came forward. As Damian’s ex-lover, painters who have the support of the Alexander Group have made all of her paintings classy. The price can be ten times the usual price.

Livia tried to observe everything there. Damian’s expression changed, but Helena’s trick that wasn’t awkward even though they hadn’t seen each other in two years made everything seems good.

Damian didn’t show any refusal to keep Helena from coming closer. Perhaps the most sour-faced one here is Assistant Brown. He could normally control the facial expressions so easily, and it seemed he couldn’t manage it well today. Livia could see a sharp, hateful look there. “You complex Assistant. Shouldn’t you be happy that your master can meet his love after two years? You should’ve felt happy like me. Haha, she’s like an heirloom that will save my life.’

The ceremonial event went well without a hitch. Everyone is queuing to greet Damian; apart from Helena, she is also the star of the day. But, of course, they also know that Helena is Damian’s ex-lover. So it could be that today’s event, which Alexander Group fully sponsors, is a welcome greeting to an ex- lover.

Of course, the guest’s arrival had a hidden motive. They wanted to build a good relationship with Damian’s ex-lover, who could bridge their relationship with the Alexander Group.

They then gave Livia a look of pity. They seem to think very sorry for the wife he has married. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Brown signaled for the crowds of sycophants not to come any closer, for he had already heard Damian sigh and was getting tired of serving them.

Having received such a warning, they walked away. Those who had not yet had their turn to say hello looked very disappointed. Then the others walked back to the gallery, enjoying Helena’s paintings.

“Livia, do you like painting? Damian really likes painting.” Helena is really amazing. She is not awkward at all starting a conversation.

‘Pfft, Mr. Damian likes the painter. That’s just true.’ That’s what Livia wanted to say, but what came out of her mouth was different. “I’m sorry, Miss, I don’t really understand painting. I don’t really know much about art either.” Livia was just admitting instead of pretending to know. She would look stupid if he was caught later.

“Shouldn’t you start studying from now on?”

“Well. In the future, please guide me.” If being polite could save her, she would. Especially if this way she can open a friendship with Helena.

The conversation about painting that didn’t connect in Livia’s mind made her dizzy. At the same time, Damian beside her was still silent as usual.

“What is your job, Livia?”

Livia hesitated to answer, but when she glanced at Damian, who didn’t budge, she thought she could answer.

“I opened an online shop selling clothes.”

“Has Damian given you one of the market places?” asked Helena surprisedly.

‘What! Market place?’ Livia was dumbfounded.

“Which one?” Helena asked again.

Suddenly Livia seemed to shrink between the two of them. Damian, beside her, who was still listening, had no intention of joining in on the conversation, even though it was clear he was the one being talked about.

“You seem to have misunderstood. I just opened a regular online shop.”

The conversation was interrupted when someone appeared to approach them.

“Sorry I came late.” A male voice. He looked handsome in the white coat he was wearing.

“Noah!” Helena squealed happily. “It’s been a long time, huh.” She hugged the boy as she did to Damian.

Livia glanced at Damian, who was still expressionless to read. ‘Hey, why not be jealous? Come on, get jealous. I want to see the great Damian Alexander’s jealousy.’

Livia turned her head to look at the man excitedly.

Ba-dump!

But Livia was shocked and her expression when she looked at the man who had just arrived.

“Where were you? Shouldn’t you have come earlier than me?” Damian talked to the man who had just arrived.

Noah patted Damian’s shoulder familiarly and looked at the girl who has hiding behind Damian.

“I don’t want to disturb my best friend’s nostalgia. But, uh, who is she?”

Livia covered her face with her bag, lowering her head, hoping not to be recognized.

“She’s Livia Shelby, the woman who is married to Damian.”

Helena helped him introduce herself.

‘Damn! Why do I have to meet him here?’ Livia couldn’t help cursing in her heart.
