Chapter 308 Why Was He Such a Jerk?
With that, she wiped away the tears on her face vehemently before turning around and making her way into the house. “Kate, I won’t give up on you. I only did those things back then because I had no idea that I had fallen in love with you!”
Tugging a handful of his hair frustratingly, Nathan was eaten up with regret. Back then, he started some very bad fights with her like a child because he had no idea how to deal with her who had suddenly given him a cold shoulder.
He thought he could make her respond to him by doing that, or even yell back at him at the very least.
However, he had no idea that he had hurt her very badly by doing so. Why was he such a jerk?
Leaving the romantic element aside, they had been friends for seven years. Wasn’t that a long enough time for him to gain a thorough understanding of what type of person she was?
What had he been thinking at that time?
Why would he think that Kate had really bullied Melanie?
That must not be the case!
He was deceived and misled because he simply didn’t expect Melanie would turn out to be such a wicked woman, so much so that she was capable of putting on an act just to make him believe that she was really bullied by Olivia!
Olivia had promised Eugene that she would attend the birthday dinner of Old Man Nolan but at the same time, she was worried that her decision might irk George.
After all, he had warned her to stay away from Eugene at the time she went out to deliver the suit for Old Man Nolan. So, she wondered what comment he would make in response to her decision to attend the birthday dinner. In order to avoid any possible complication, she decided to lie to him by saying that Marcus wanted to meet her for a favor.
Fortunately, George did not probe into the matter hence after work, Olivia booked a taxi for him to go back to Muse Peninsula.
Meanwhile, she and North headed straight to Nolan Residence.
The birthday dinner of Old Man Nolan was such a sensational event that almost everyone in town was aware of it. While many were interested to attend it, only very few people could do so because only those who carried an invitation card would be allowed access to the villa to ensure the safety of the event.
To avoid tiring his grandfather excessively, Eugene had made an effort to trim the guest list but in the end, the living room of the villa still ended up being crammed with a crowd which consisted the members of the Nolan Family, which already made up a total of over a hundred people as well as some of their close friends.
After busy giving out directions to the housekeepers, Eugene checked his watch and found it was almost six in the evening. It was only then did he dare to give Olivia a call.
Speaking like a secret service agent, Eugene asked, “Are you on your way here?”
“Yes, I’m on my way and I’ll be there soon,” she answered.
Eugene couldn’t help but break into a wide grin when he heard her. “Alright, I’ll go downstairs to wait for you!”
He started striding off toward the main door where he bumped into Nathan who was coming in. “Why are you late?”
Nathan pursed his lips in response. He was here only for the sake of his great-grandfather who had always doted on him, or he wouldn’t have stepped out of his house in all events with such a foul mood.
Without bothering to explain, he greeted Eugene listlessly, “Uncle.”
Eugene knitted his brows slightly when he heard him. If it wasn’t because he was in a hurry to pick Olivia up, he would have asked him more questions.
As for now…
He only replied perfunctorily, “Go on! Your great-grandfather is in his room.”
At a hurried pace, he then made his way to the gate of the villa where he craned his neck looking into the distance but found no sight of Olivia.
Suddenly he realized he was being too impatient because she just told him that she was ‘almost here’, but not ‘here already’.
Two bodyguards who were standing at two sides of the gate started whispering among themselves.
“Who is Young Master Nolan waiting for?”
“I have no idea but I suppose it must be some VIP or some important business partner.”
At that juncture, a taxi was seen working its way through the winding road leading toward the villa. Eugene’s eyes lit up with excitement immediately at the sight of the taxi and almost out of instinct, he strode out of the gate and then in the direction of the taxi.
The bodyguards started asking questions doubtfully.
“What kind of business partner travels around in a taxi?”
“Why is he staring at the car that way? Hey, isn’t that Doctor Maxwell?”
The bodyguard was right.
As soon as the taxi pulled up by the gate, Olivia alighted the car wearing a long blue dress which was matched with a trench coat of the same color. Her long hair was tied up in a loose ponytail that gave her an innocent but a tad bit sensual look.
Standing next to her was North who was wearing a blue suit so that he looked like a pair with his mother.
