Chapter 420 : Envy for Magnolias

*Giovani*

I watched my wife pace the kitchen floor, a whole variety of snacks left in bowls on the counter as she anxiously waited.

"She'll be here soon. What if she hates tropical fruit?" Olivia asked, biting down on her lip as she glared at the innocent pineapple pieces in the bowl.

"I’m sure she’ll love it," I told her, trying to soothe her nervousness. "And even if she doesn’t, I doubt she'll hate you over some fruit. Who knows if she even likes fruit?"

She paled, and I knew I'd put my foot in my mouth. I groaned as she turned to me with wide eyes.

"You're right! I'm so stupid! We should have gotten something else. What was I thinking?" she berated herself, glancing out the window. "Elena will be here any minute! There's no time to get anything else."

"The fruit is fine, and you're not stupid," I told her, knowing it was useless. She wouldn't calm down until Elena was here and told her for herself that the fruit was fine.
