Chapter 1741 Friendly
Margot offered a faint smile. "Hello, Mrs. Stark."
As soon as Olivia saw her, she warmly shook her hand as if she had just met a long-lost friend.
Niall observed. "I haven't seen my wife be this happy in a long time. It seems that she and Ms. Zimmerman get along very well."
Olivia nodded. "Yes, I really like Ms. Zimmerman. I felt very comfortable and a sense of familiarity as soon as I saw her."
Margot was taken aback by all the attention. She was quite sure that she didn't know Olivia at all. After a moment of thought, she brushed it off as a form of courtesy.
Benjamin smiled. "Margot, please entertain Mrs. Stark. Mr. Stark and I have some matters to discuss."
"Sure, no problem." Margot nodded and turned to Olivia. "Mrs. Stark, I've prepared some tea from Rastone. How about we try it? This is my first time in Rastone, and I haven't tasted the local tea."
Olivia agreed. "That sounds nice. It's been a long time since I visited Rastone, and I miss it here."
The two of them walked toward the tea room. The maid had already prepared tea for them and left when the two women entered.
Margot poured some tea for Olivia and asked with a smile, "Are you from Rastone, Mrs. Stark?"
Olivia nodded. "Yes, I lived in Rastone with my grandmother when I was a child for over ten years."
Margot smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Stark knows Rastone well. I might need to turn to you if I face any issues here."
Olivia smiled faintly. "I left Rastone 30 years ago, and it has developed rapidly since then. The Rastone today is probably not the Rastone I knew."
A hint of longing appeared on her face, and her eyes glinted with nostalgia.
Margot smiled. "Although development has been rapid, some traditions are still present. Rastone's theatre is quite famous. How about we head over there this afternoon? Maybe it will bring back some old memories."
"Sure." Olivia gladly accepted the idea and took a sip of tea. Then, she and Margot chatted about their childhood memories.
Margot listened quietly, occasionally chiming in to keep the conversation flowing.
After the conversation, it became clear that Olivia and Niall had a strong and loving relationship. Niall had come to Rastone because Olivia missed her hometown, and the collaboration was just an excuse.
Margot was touched by their relationship and became even gentler in her attitude toward Olivia.
Two hours later, Benjamin and Niall entered the tea room and noticed that Olivia and Margot were engrossed in conversation.
Niall suggested, "My wife seems to enjoy talking with Ms. Zimmerman. How about we have dinner together tonight? That way, you can spend more time together."
Olivia nodded enthusiastically. "That would be wonderful!"
Margot met Benjamin's gaze and gave him a playful wink.
They all left the villa and had dinner on a cruise ship.
Not long after they boarded the ship, Lance appeared with Barbara.
"Mr. and Mrs. Stark, what a coincidence." Lance smiled as he shook hands with Niall.
