Chapter 590
With a sigh, Nancy Banks grew increasingly concerned. She came to realize that Prince Andrew held a genuine affection for
Olivia.
This fact made her role all the more challenging.
There seemed to be no opportunity to sow discord.
Despite her wisdom, it appeared entirely futile.
She thought, 'Sigh, how disconcerting!
Olivia, too, was deeply troubled. She had never met Andrew, and without the chance to explain, this misunderstanding would persist, creating an enduring rift between them.
Today, Yossi arrived to bring the meal. Two plates still held a generous portion of untouched dishes.
Olivia dined at a leisurely pace. Once finished, she delicately wiped her mouth and inquired of Yossi, "May I see Andrew?"
"Absolutely not," Yossi's portly face quivered like a drum. "The suspicion surrounding you has not been cleared. Prince Andrew will not meet with you. Please remain here." Hearing this, Olivia cast her eyes downward, a sense of discomfort settling in.
She pondered, When would I get the chance to see Andrew? Why didn't he place his trust in me! Did he believe me to be a deceitful woman, consumed by falsehoods?
With this thought, Olivia's confidence waned suddenly. Reflecting on her past, when she had lost her memory, she had often. found Daniel's behavior perplexing. Now, in hindsight, she realized she had relied solely on his affection for her.
Now that Daniel had lost his memory and no longer remembered her, would his affection for her remain as strong as it once
was?
"Have you finished your meal?" Yassi interjected, sensing Olivia's despondency. "Don't keep it all inside after eating, Go for a walk."
"I can go out?" Olivia expressed her surprise and delight. She had feared being confined indefinitely.
"Of course," Yossi affirmed with a nod. "However, I'll be keeping a close watch on you."
Following dinner, Olivia indeed took a stroll outside. Being confined to the house had grown exceptionally tedious, and she had spent a considerable amount of time in slumber.
The sun shone brilliantly outside the window, and Olivia wandered through the courtyard during her walk.
After completing a couple of rounds, they suddenly heard approaching footsteps up
ahead.
Someone was approaching!
She looked up and spotted Andrew in the midst of a group, engaged in conversation with the person next to him. He appeared to be oblivious to Olivia's presence.
Olivia leaned in slightly, but the crowd that stood between them was considerable. She hesitated, choosing not to approach. As she took a few steps forward, she became separated from the group and was pushed to the side by the others.
She could only watch, her heart heavy, as Andrew departed.
He remained as striking as ever, his presence commanding attention in the midst of the crowd. However, his gaze was no longer fixated on her.

Chapter 590
Olivia's spirits sank, and she cast her eyes downward in disappointment.
Andrew had distanced himself significantly. As he strolled past Olivia, he nonchalantly handed a document to the assistant beside him and let out a deep sigh of relief.
He thought to himself. 'Goodness, I was so anxious a moment ago that it felt like I couldn't even breathe"
He inquired of his assistant, "Did Olivia glance at me just now?"
"She certainly did, the assistant confirmed with eager nods. "Miss Olivia's gaze was fixed on you for quite some time. It appeared she wanted to approach and speak with you."
Upon hearing this, a faint smile graced the corners of Andrew's mouth. He was in a buoyant mood.
Olivia had no desire to return to her room. Staying in the courtyard offered her the hope of catching another glimpse of Andrew. Returning to her room would mean waiting for Andrew to pay her a visit.. She located an empty seat and settled down.
Observing her choice, Yossi grew curious. "Why are you seated here? It's much more comfortable to recline in your room"
Olivia shook her head. "You don't understand. I'm waiting for Andrew. If he happens to pass by the courtyard, I might catch a glimpse of him"
"Heh, Yossi sneered. "You're daydreaming. How can Prince Andrew constantly pass through the courtyard? He's inundated with state affairs and is so occupied he barely has time to eat.
"From my past experience. Prince Andrew will likely be sequestered in the study for the entire day and won't venture out again. You should give up. It's highly unlikely you'll catch a glimpse of Prince Andrew." No sooner had Yossi concluded his confident and ostentatious words than he witnessed Andrew leading a contingent of individuals toward them. They walked by Olivia, heading straight for the door. This is quite the coincidence!
Yossi was taken aback, feeling the sting of a swift rebuttal. Just as he finished talking, Prince Andrew came.
Yossi's inner monologue continued, No, no, I must save face!
Therefore, he quickly added. "Prince Andrew has already left. I'm afraid he won't return until this evening."
Half an hour later, Andrew came back.
An hour later, Andrew went out.
An hour and a half later, Andrew came back.
Yossi was left speechless. "Your Highness, were you here for the spectacle?' he thought incredulously.
