She didn’t notice anything unusual at first. Then, she saw the photo that showed a lady. supporting a man whose arms were wrapped around the lady’s shoulder. It was clear that the man was drunk.
Wait a minute! That wasn’t the point. The point was that the man resembled Nathan Baker. Although only his side profile was captured, there was no doubt that it was indeed Nathan in the photo. Did his parents try to matchmake him and the daughter from the Snow Group?
Would that mean Nathan and the girl were together?
Olivia’s mind went blank at that moment. The only thought she had was to make sure that Halma would never find out-just to spare her from the sorrow. But… How should she go about doing that?
So, it was in a fit of panic that she rushed. toward the changing room. Eugene saw her darting over and was utterly shocked by her actions. Then, he quickly held her hand, saying, “Slow down, my darling. What’s wrong?”
She was so anxious that she didn’t know how to explain the utter mess that was about to blow up in their faces. So, she just showed Eugene her phone, hissing, “What on Earth is going on right now?!”
Her voice was filled with barely restrained anger. It was as if the man in the photo was Eugene.
So, he hastily took her phone and stared at it. His face turned dark as he explained, “There are indeed rumors that the Snow Group and the Baker Enterprise are planning to work together. I just never expected it to be so soon.”
Olivia exclaimed angrily, “I couldn’t care less if they are working together. I just want to know, why Nathan is sleeping with another woman?!”
Eugene thought to himself, How am I supposed to know that? Still, he knew better than to answer the agitated Olivia in that tone. So, he comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry. Let me check things out.”
Alas, she shoved him away and shouted, “You’d better get this trending photo off the internet. It would break Halma’s heart if she sees this online!”
Eugene embraced her and said in a soothing tone, “Yes, of course. Don’t worry. I’ll get to it right away.”
With that being said, he immediately called Curtis. After Eugene ended the call, he comforted Olivia and informed her, “Alright, the photo won’t be trending online anymore. There’s no need to fret. Nathan and Halma aren’t children. Let’s not get between the two of them; relationships are meant to be experienced by the people who are in them. We may be able to help them this time, but not their whole lives. Some things are better left in their own hands.”
Sure, she knew that, but she just couldn’t bear not doing anything when she saw the news. Olivia knew she ought to stay calm, but she was so furious it felt as though her head was about to explode from pure, unadulterated fury.
Then, she looked at Eugene and growled, “If it weren’t for Halma’s feelings for Nathan, I would’ve already killed Nathan eight times over. Your nephew is unreliable in both his words and actions. I’ve known him for so many years, and yet, I have not seen even a hint of this responsible trait of his that you claim existed.”
Eugene felt so wronged being on the receiving end of her anger. So, he made a silent note that he would make Nathan pay for this.
I swear to God, Nathan. It’s bad enough you’ve made mistakes, but now you’re even dragging me down with you! The worst part is that you’ve even angered my wife!
“Darling, calm down. I understand that you’re upset, but you can’t blame me for something I haven’t done. Nathan is the one who messed up. I’m pretty reliable, aren’t I?”
Olivia looked at Eugene’s pitiful face and finally suppressed her rising anger, but she still shot him a distasteful glare.
“Didn’t you say he won’t act irresponsibly in front of his parents? How is sleeping with another woman not an irresponsible act? For all we know, this was his parents’ plan all along! You’d better get to the bottom of this. If Nathan has truly betrayed Halma, he’d better not show his face before me ever again!”
Eugene sighed wearily as he thought to himself, Pregnant women are really hard to deal with. Just a few moments ago, everything was fine, and my needs were satisfied. She was so charming at that moment. Where did that adorable woman go? Okay, fine. She’s endearing now, but it isn’t the same cuteness as the one she exhibited earlier.
He cupped Olivia’s face and squished her cheeks as he brushed his lips against hers. Then, he said in a doting yet resigned tone, “Alright, then. Give me some time, I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this.”
Meanwhile, Olivia gaped at Eugene’s actions and blinked at him dumbly. Then, she rubbed her face as she slowly came to her senses.
Only then did she realize that she had directed her anger at the wrong person. I really let my temper get away with me. Besides, it’s not him that I’m mad at!
