Chapter 359: Olivia's Thanks
Chapter 359 Olivia’s Thank You
The fact that Viscount Cliff made Nannuo vomit blood was not a big deal, but it was quite troublesome.
Because Nanno forced Viscount Cliff's door down, their conversation was heard word for word by the maid standing outside.
Although they have been trained since childhood and know what to remember and what to forget, they still need to hit when they need to hit and warn when they need to.
This kind of thing is done by Sophia. She is the housekeeper in charge of all the affairs of the Cliff family. She also manages the male and female servants in the family.
Sophia reported to Viscount Cliff: "Your Excellency, your instructions for today have been completed."
"Thank you for your hard work," Viscount Cliff nodded slightly, "You did a good job."
This is a casual compliment. The person who says it is casual, but the person who listens will not take it seriously.
But Olivia has never said such a casual sentence since she was a child.
"Your Excellency, Viscount," Sophia hesitated, and finally said, "I also think that you are too harsh on Miss Olivia. Maybe you can give her some affirmation occasionally, just like what you just said to me.
The words are the same."
Sophia is the person that Viscount Cliff absolutely trusts, so Viscount Cliff is willing to explain to her clearly why he did this.
"It's different," Viscount Cliff said, "The art of controlling a subordinate is to use both kindness and power, with clear rewards and punishments, so that you can be loyal to me. But Olivia is my heir, and I must demand higher from her.
This is not only responsible for Olivia, but also responsible for Cliff City."
"But you can praise Olivia occasionally. There is no conflict."
"Isn't it enough for you to praise her?" Viscount Cliff said coldly, "She has no shortage of flattery and praise, and what I have to do is to keep her awake."
But our compliments are not the same thing as yours, but any more words would be her overstepping, so Sophia could only keep her mouth shut.
After completing the report to Viscount Cliff, Sophia also wanted to check on Olivia. Although this was not her duty, she had watched Olivia grow up and would be worried no matter what.
.
Olivia was sitting on the sofa. Although she was holding a book, she obviously didn't read it. She stared at the pages blankly for a long time.
"Miss?" Sophia called Olivia softly, "Are you okay?"
Olivia was startled, and slowly raised her head to see that it was Sophia. She tried her best to curl her lips, but in the end she failed.
"Good evening." Olivia's voice was hoarse, and she didn't know how long it had been since she drank water.
Feeling distressed, Sophia quickly poured her a glass of warm water and fed her to drink: "What are you doing? Don't you even take care of yourself?"
Olivia opened her mouth and drank the water to moisten her thirsty throat, and finally spoke normally: "I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted."
Although helpless, Sophia still has to take the responsibility of mediating the relationship between Olivia and Viscount Cliff.
"Don't blame your mother, that was not her intention."
"I know," Olivia smiled palely, "I didn't do well enough and it was natural for me to disappoint my mother."
"I did not mean that……"
Olivia interrupted Sophia: "How is Nannuo's health? Have the people you sent to visit brought back any news?"
Sophia sighed inwardly. Olivia didn't want to talk about this topic, and she had no way to force Olivia to talk. She could only follow her words and said: "The situation has stabilized and there is nothing serious.
.”
"That's good." Olivia smiled. It could be seen that she felt a little relieved after getting the news. It seems that Nannuo's injury also added a lot of pressure to her.
Sophia suggested: "You should go and visit in person tomorrow."
"Of course he's going to do it," Olivia nodded, "No matter how you say it, it's partly because of me that he's like this. I should apologize."
Sophia did not agree with this statement: "He is your fiancé, and it is his obligation to protect your interests."
Olivia shook her head with a smile: "There is no obligation to be who is who. The other party should reciprocate the kindness. This should be the case in any relationship."
Such rational analysis actually seems somewhat cold and heartless.
But, this is the style of the Cliff family.
Early the next morning, Olivia came to the door with condolences to express her condolences about Nannuo's situation.
Looking at the large and small bags of supplements, Nannuo suppressed the veins on his forehead: "I think I'm not that weak yet."
These supplements are for people who are extremely weak. Although they are injured, they are not fundamentally injured and they can recover by taking a good rest.
Olivia said lightly: "In case it is useful in the future."
These words sounded more like a curse than a blessing, but Nannuo couldn't get angry. To be precise, he couldn't even get angry.
"Put the things in first," Nannuo said, "Do you want some tea?"
Olivia nodded: "Okay, trouble."
The house that Nannuo lives in now is an ordinary two-story private house that he bought after arriving in Cliff City. It is only used as a temporary residence for Nannuo. After all, staying in the city lord's mansion every time he goes to Cliff City still makes him feel uncomfortable.
Nannuo felt uncomfortable.
He just needed a place to live. The house had no other hardware except the necessary furniture. He had not expected this day when he bought the house, but it was a bit embarrassing at this time.
There is no tea set for making tea in the room.
He couldn't drink tea while recovering from his injuries, so he didn't buy any tea sets, only a kettle for boiling hot water.
"Don't worry, I brought it for you," Olivia said thoughtfully, seeing his embarrassment, "The Sufians came back and reported that you were lacking a lot of things here, so I brought them all for you.
"
After saying that, Olivia clapped her hands, and the people waiting outside filed in, all holding things in their hands. After a while, Nannuo's house took on a new look.
Although the things Olivia brought were not very exquisite, they still met the standard of use by ordinary nobles. At this moment, they were stepping on soft floor mats, and the table was covered with an elegant tablecloth. On the tablecloth was a set of
Complete tea set.
Olivia even brought tea.
"What you prepared is quite complete." Nannuo twitched the corner of his mouth and sat down on the chair.
"It was my fault for not noticing that you didn't have all the things here before," Olivia said apologetically, "so I'm here to supplement it for you today."
"Is this... a thank you gift?" Nannuo picked up the tea cup, looked at the patterns on it, and said nonchalantly, "Are you here to apologize to me?"
After being told that she had come here, Olivia lowered her eyes and said, "All of them, whatever you think."
Nannuo curled up the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I didn't act because of your thanks or apology."
Olivia raised her head: "I know that no matter how much I do, it won't be enough to express my inner gratitude."
Facing Olivia's calm and clear eyes, Nannuo felt a little helpless.
If Olivia came to help him improve his condition because he was worried about him and felt that his current living conditions were not good, then he would happily accept it. If it was just to say thank you or apologize... He used every piece of Olivia's belt
The items that came in made me feel uncomfortable.
