Chapter 3654 Parking her car downstairs, Olivia dr@ped a shawl around herself and stepped out, opening the door to her apartment.
When the door was opened, she was taken aback.
A black Bentley sat before her car.
Raphael leaned casually against the car, smoking a cigarette at a leisurely pace.
The night breeze was brisk.
In the light, his complexion was illuminated, casting a soft glow on his features.
Raphael tilted his head slightly, his chin held high, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness.

Olivia felt audacious enough to pursue him, but eventually...
Realizing she couldn't feign ignorance any longer, Olivia braved the chilly night air, wrapping her shawl tightly around herself as she approached Raphael.
"Raphael, did you chere to tauntnow that you've achieved such success? Do you wantto admit I regret letting you go?" She asked, her voice tinged with vulnerability.

"You're quite articulate now.
You weren't so courteous when you ended things.
Allowto refresh your memory about what you said then..." "That's enough!" Olivia couldn't contain her frustration.
"It's been years, Raphael.
