Chapter 377: 377 Flamenco
Mrs. Jenkins looked on with complex emotions, somewhat puzzled by the “game” this girl was playing.
Mrs. Jenkins decided to be cautious and not put her full trust in Olivia, maintaining a vigilant eye on her movements.
Filled with suspicion, she repeatedly reminded herself to stay wary and not to be enchanted by Olivia.
After resting for a while, the seniors eagerly invited Mrs. Jenkins to join them in singing.
Olivia accompanied Mrs. Jenkins, encouraging her to actively participate in the relaxed atmosphere.
As a younger woman, Mrs. Jenkins used to fondly enjoy classical music. Hearing it again made her thoughts drift back to her youth.
Ever since her late husband Jenkins passed away, she had ceased to savor the little pleasures of life, so much that she had forgotten the taste of it. Her mind was only filled with constant vigilance and petty conflicts as if her life consisted solely of manipulations and deceits.
She had been leading an overly narrow existence!
In stark contrast, even though Mrs. Jenkins was reluctant to admit her shortcomings, reality slapped her in the face.
She also noticed that Olivia was very popular at Time Garden. Everyone seemed to like her.
Here, no one upset Olivia. And she, unlike her disposition at home, wasn’t irritating nor overly assertive.
Seeing everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves, Olivia went up on the stage and performed a French song.
Mrs. Jenkins immediately identified it as classical music from a stage play, and was surprised that Olivia could sing it so well.
After singing the French song, Olivia spontaneously performed a Flamenco dance routine.
In an instant, she dazzled everyone present, including a stunned Adam Howard.
The senior responsible for the music played Flamenco on his guitar for Olivia, hoping that she would complete her Flamenco dance routine.
In Mrs. Jenkins’ mind, Olivia was nothing more than a small-time doctor with no real talents, who resorted to any given means, was overly cautious, and shamelessly despicable…
Olivia’s impressive performance stunned Mrs. Jenkins. She realized that her understanding of Olivia was really limited, and had completely overlooked her talents.
She observed that the fellow members here were all multi-talented individuals, the kinds who were highly educated, modest, and knew how to live life.
Unconsciously, there was a squeeze in Mrs. Jenkins’ heart. For the first time, she felt a twinge of shame.
Besides recreation, Olivia was also on duty at Time Garden, helping seniors check their blood pressure, and warmly answering all their inquiries.
These senior citizens still considered Olivia as a doctor, disregarding the gossip circulating on the internet.
In the evening, Olivia escorted Mrs. Jenkins back home.
They did not head back to Shallow Bay straight away. Olivia took Mrs. Jenkins to savor some private home cooking, and also visit the flower market.
Mrs. Jenkins had a fulfilling afternoon, unlike any she had had for a long time. Though, she was still reluctant to accept it.
When Olivia was about to leave, Mrs. Jenkins sternly warned her, pretending to be fierce, “No matter what you do, I will never forgive you. I will always despise you.”
Olivia laughed it off, as Mrs. Jenkins’ critical words couldn’t harm her anymore. At least, she too had spent a joyful afternoon, and that was her gain.
Olivia did not retaliate nor provoke Mrs. Jenkins, and she took her leave without satisfying Mrs. Jenkins’ want for revenge. This left Mrs. Jenkins at a loss and plunged into deep thoughts.
Inside the car, Adam Howard looked at Olivia with admiration, “You really are extraordinary. Daniel Marshall’s marriage to you is a tremendous fortune acquired over countless lifetimes. He should cherish you more.”
