Halma looked at Olivia and asked, “Do you believe what he said?” In contrast to her highly resolute and disdainful demeanor when she asked the same question this morning, she seemed a little swayed. Perhaps, it was because she was slightly more perplexed at the moment.
Olivia simply gave her a reassuring look as she nodded and elaborated, “Yes. Frankly speaking, I believed more than half of his statement when I heard his explanation for the first time. And now, it’s 100%. Let’s analyze it rationally. Hel would rather risk offending the Snow Family than not speak out the truth. Why would he do that if he didn’t care about you?
In addition, he had just woken up when I first called him. At that time, he was completely confused as to why I was scolding him. He had no idea what had happened at all. In fact, he didn’t even know that his mother had looked for you. Of course, I’m merely an outsider. I may feel angry, but I won’t be affected by what he did. You, on the other hand, are different.
As his girlfriend, it’s normal for you to have all these negative emotions. You have the right to feel sad, doubtful, and insecure. After all, Nathan was the one who failed to be vigilant and allowed. Lexie to take advantage of him.”
Halma only sobbed harder and harder instead. of replying to Olivia.
“Why are you crying? Don’t you know many are envious of you? You haven’t looked through the comments, right? Hold on. I’ll search them up for you. You have a boyfriend who loves and cares for you despite everything, so what’s there to be sad about?”
Then, Olivia pulled Halma to sit on the couch and began to browse the comments.
Indeed, the comment section was full of netizens’ envy and curiosity toward Halma, but concurrently, a new comment gradually rose to the top. ‘Am I the only one who finds it odd? Why was it stated that Lexie and Nathan checked into the hotel at 11.07PM while Nathan’s check-in time afterward was at 12.10AM? What were they doing in the room during that approximately one-hour gap?’
Olivia was utterly speechless. Netizens these days sure do have an eagle eye and plenty of free time. I can’t believe they would pay attention to the check-in times of the two rooms!
Suddenly, she couldn’t help but regret her actions of showing Halma the comments. She was worried Halma, who had just calmed down, might once again let her imaginations run wild, especially after looking through the series of speculations made by the netizens.
‘Hahaha! They can do a lot of stuff in that hour’
‘Yeah! It’s enough for them to have a round of sex! Hahaha!’
‘So, does this mean he checked into a separate room just to put on a show for his girlfriend after he did it with Lexie? Is he trying to sell his public persona as a loving boyfriend?”
‘Dear ladies, please keep your wits. Actions speak louder than words! Why would Nathan stay with Lexie in a room for an hour if he truly didn’t want to be with her?’
Halma suddenly shifted her focus back on Olivia after skimming through the comments.. Her eyes were full of hope. It was as though she really wanted Olivia to say something to reassure her once more.
Olivia sighed upon noticing the look on Halma’s face. Right now, Halma is just like a panic- stricken person. A slight sign of uproar can make her feel anxious about this situation. So, I need to be careful with my words. It was precisely with that thought that she once again stated, “I can tell this is a group of keyboard warriors who are only interested in stirring the pot as they blindly meddle in someone else’s affairs without knowing the truth. Think about it.
Nathan used to change partners frequently, but he certainly didn’t have the habit of two-timing his girlfriend, right? Besides, didn’t he explain to you that he was drunk at the time of the event?”
Halma nodded, seemingly trying to convince herself as she mumbled, “You’re right. He even told me that Lexie took advantage of the situation to undress him, but he refused to give in.”
Even though she was saying those things, her eyes were closed, and her hands had unconsciously clenched into fists. Olivia’s heart deeply ached for Halma when she saw her in such a state. Hence, she reached out, hugged her tightly, and consoled her, saying, “Don’t force yourself.”
Still, she knew that Halma didn’t believe Nathan at all. Poor Halma. She is simply trying to force herself to have faith in Nathan. It’s true that she had always trusted him regardless of how unreliable he was in the past. However, ever since the incident with Melanie, she no longer had unequivocal trust in him any longer. To all men out there, this is why you shouldn’t hurt your woman if you truly love her, for women are like cats. They are good at learning their lessons, and once they get hurt after seeking solace for the first time, they won’t do the same the second time.
