860: Bianca & Clifford III

Bianca & Clifford III

Clifford accompanied Alveena to the hospital for her regular check-up. She was in her four-month pregnancy. And her tummy was now visible.0

They didn't expect to bump into someone. It was Olive, Clifford's ex-fiancé.

"Alveena! Cliff!" Olive felt so glad to see them. She had been abroad for the past two months. She just returned three days ago.

"Hi, Olive," Alveena greeted her casually. Then she glanced at Clifford wondering if he would also greet Olive.

Surprisingly, Clifford also greeted Olive, unlike before he was just ignoring her and treating her as an invisible person.

"Alvee, congrats on your pregnancy." Olive was very lively today as Clifford finally talked to her. He didn't look mad at her anymore.

"Thank you, Olive. What are you doing here?" Alveena asked her.

Olive was not able to answer right away. The joy in her eyes suddenly disappeared when she recalled the reason she was there. But in the end, she told her she just visited her doctor friend.

Alveena said goodbye to them for a moment as she entered her OB-GYN's clinic. She allowed Clifford and Olive to have time to talk with each other.

"Cliff, how are you?" There was a hint of longing in her eyes as she looked at him.

"I'm fine. Busy with work. How about you? Are you sick?" Clifford noticed that despite her cheerful mood, Olive looked very pale.

Olive just gave him a faint smile before shaking her head. "No, I just got tired from my long flight."

Clifford could only nod his head. He could no longer feel the hatred and bitterness in his heart when seeing Olive's face. This was a good sign, he completely got over her and moved on.

He could now talk to her without getting affected by their past. He was not angry about her betrayal anymore.

"Cliff, can I ask you something?" Olive looked at him expectantly.

"Sure," he promptly responded.

"When are you going to forgive me? Have you forgiven me already?" She asked him with her hopeful eyes.

Clifford fell silent for a moment, assessing his own feelings.

"Yes, I've forgiven you. Let's forget the past now, Olive," Clifford finally said, freeing himself from the unpleasant memories in the past.

Olive couldn't contain the happiness she felt when she finally heard Clifford's forgiveness. With teary eyes, Olive pounced on Clifford, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, Cliff. Thank you so much. This means a lot to me."

Clifford felt that something heavy had been lifted from his heart when he forgave her. Yes, he didn't want to keep bitterness and hatred anymore. All he wanted to keep in his heart was his love for Bianca.

This time he would try his best to make their relationship last… forever. He would never commit another mistake. He would make sure that Bianca would never leave him, like what Olive did to him because of his lackings.

But unknown to Clifford, Olive gave a different meaning to their conversation. She thought she could get another chance to be with Clifford. She still wanted him back. And now, she had more reason to fight for him.

After talking to Clifford, Olive said goodbye as she received a call from her doctor friend. On the other hand, Clifford entered the clinic to check Alveena. She was currently having an ultrasound.

His heart was filled with joy when he saw Alveena's baby. He was there to know the gender of the baby. Clifford would be the first one to know it as agreed by them. It would be a surprise for both Alveena and Andrew because they would be having a gender reveal.

Clifford left the clinic with Alveena. He was in a very bright mood, clueless about the upcoming challenges he might encounter in his current relationship with Bianca.

Meanwhile, Bianca went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. She would cook tonight for their dinner. Clifford would come over.

She was still thinking about her future with Clifford. There was still uncertainty but she wanted to take a risk and gamble. Besides, she was not getting younger anymore. Her parents were urging her to settle down already and give birth to their grandchild.

Well, at this moment, they were still far from that. They hadn't gone all out. The most intimate thing they've done was when Clifford pretended to be drunk. After that, it never happened again. They only kissed several times but not to the extent of having sex.

Bianca heard before that the reason Olive betrayed Clifford was that he refused to have sex with her before marriage. So Bianca could understand why Clifford was not taking any move on her.

But little did she know, Clifford was dying to claim her. It's just that he was afraid that Bianca would not like it. He remembered how she stopped him when they almost lost control in her room before.

"Sigh, what am I thinking? I should focus on tonight's dinner. Stop overthinking, Bianca!" Bianca scolded herself.

Bianca continued roaming around the supermarket, buying all the ingredients she needed. While she was doing that, a naughty thing popped up in her mind.

"Hmm, should I test Clifford's self-control tonight?"

With that thought in mind, Bianca had decided to prepare a romantic dinner for both of them. A candlelight dinner in her apartment might do.

She also dropped by the boutique to buy a dress. She seldom wears dresses. But tonight, she decided to doll herself up and dress beautifully for Clifford.

She spent two hours just looking for a suitable dress for their dinner. When she went home, it was already 5:00 pm. She already had two hours left for the preparation.

She was in a hurry when she saw someone standing in front of her apartment door. She glanced at the beautiful lady in a floral dress.

"Miss? Who are you looking for?" Bianca asked the woman who was wearing sunglasses. She didn't recognize her.

"Hi, I'm here to talk to you, Bianca. I'm Olive, Clifford's ex-fiancé."
