The Innocent Wife of Scheming President Chapter 321 That's not an excuse.

"Of course not." Olive Steele smiled to reassure Annie. she hadn't been sure herself before, but now
she was willing to go ahead and trust Alan Hoyle to give them a good life.

"Well, for your sake, Mommy, I'll believe him," Annie said with a flutter of her cheeks.

After her shower and getting dressed, Annie refreshed again, chased the puppy around the room.

Olive's father returned as well. His business was doing well lately, and he had even hired a part-time
college student who was now looking after the shop.

As the family sat around the table, Alan poured a glass of wine for Olive's father and then poured some
into the glass of Olive's mother, who was not drinking. He refilled his own glass and held it up, "Thank
you for your blessings on our marriage. Olive has suffered a lot over the years because of me, and at
the same time you have been worried, but rest assured that from now on I will love Olive and Annie
dearly."

His words made Olive's mother's eyes turn a little red. The suffering Olive had endured in the past had
finally been replaced by this man's sense of responsibility. She hoped that Olive and Annie would
always be so happy.

Olive's father waved his hand, "As long as you're happy, we're fine anyway."

After Alan Hoyle had a drink with Olive's parents, Chloe Malan suddenly dropped a pointed question, "
Hey, Alan Hoyle, you and Olive were registered now, tell me you won’t keep this in the dark just
because of the old hag of yours."

"Chloe Malan," Olive Steele frowned and yelled.

Chloe glared back at her, "What? You become his woman so soon? I'm just trying to help!"



However Olive Steele was just trying to warn her not to choose her language carefully because Annie
could hear it too.

"I understand your concern, but the wedding is being prepared." Alan Hoyle replied to her with a smile,
" and as for the bridesmaid, I think you're the best person for the job."

"Of course I am." Chloe Malan rolled her eyes.

"Then the best man has to be me." Aoba Hoyle said with a grin.

Without doubt, Chloe understood Aoba's intentions so she huffed, "Alan Hoyle, I'm telling you, if you let
this guy be your best man, I'll drag Olive to run away from the wedding."

Alan shrugged his shoulders, "Whoa whoa, please don't sacrifice our marriage for your flirting."

Chloe blushed and wasn't sure if it was because she was shy or angry, "Nobody's flirting. He just has
the audacity to stay in our house and won't leave."

Aoba Hoyle muttered under his breath, "You can be a bridesmaid even if you're divorced and I'm the
groom's brother, why can't I be the best man."

The atmosphere turned embarrassing instantly.

Olive Steele glanced at Aoba, motioning for him to shut up, then looked cautiously over at Chloe.
Instead of getting mad, Chloe smiled flirtatiously, "So that's how you really think of me, huh? Kid, you're
such a hypocrite. "

"I . . I don't mean that, woman."

But Aoba wouldn't have pursued Chloe so much if he'd actually bothered about it.



"Oh right? Then tell me what do you mean?" Chloe said looking at him with a slight lift of her chin.

Olive Steele scratched her head as she listened to the conversation between them. She wondered why
Chloe Malan seemed like a different person lately.

Next to her, Alan Hoyle's eyes filled with laughter as he concentrated on feeding Olive and Annie, and
Olive's parents just ignored them directly, concentrating on the food on their plates.

When it came to romantic relationships, only the parties involved could understand how they felt. Alan
and Olive’s parents knew that Chloe didn't necessarily hate Aoba Hoyle, it was just that the failure of
her last marriage had kept her from starting a new one, and the horror of Aoba and Alan's mother was
one of the reasons as well.

There was an old saying that when a woman was married to a man, she also married to his whole
family. Olive's parents knew that Alan Hoyle was able to protect Olive from his mother's interference,
but that didn't change the fact that she was still his mother, and Olive's parents, not to mention Chloe,
were all extremely upset by the situation.

All three of them were worried that Mrs. Hoyle might show up at any moment and destroy Olive and
Alan's marriage, but none of them could bear to remind Olive of this and shattered her hopes for a
better future, which was why Chloe took it upon herself to mention this matter to Alan because they
could only expect Alan Hoyle to fulfill his duty to protect Olive as he promised.

"I mean whatever you've been through, or what will happen in the future, nothing can change my
feelings on you." Aoba paused for a second before answering Chloe fluently.

Although Chloe didn’t seem to treat him well, it wasn't enough to make Aoba give up his feelings for
her. Everyone had a different kind of pain deep inside, and he was sure that one day he would be able
to get her to move on to a new life.



"Hypocrite." Chloe huffed.
