“But I will need time. So I’ll help you to investigate her whereabouts tomorrow, North said. Today, he was a little tired after helping the three kids to cover their tracks.
“Okay,” Nathan answered. In the evening, Olivia gave Kate a call and didn’t beat around the bush as she asked, “What’s up? Why didn’t you come and visit me?”
Kate sounded relatively calm through the phone. I’ve been a little busy for the past few days, but I’ll visit you once I’m free.” “Are you sure you’re only busy?” Olivia asked suspiciously. Kate immediately sensed the hidden. implication behind her question. “Did Nathan go looking for you?”
“Yeah, he just left my place, Olivia answered honestly. Kate said huffily, “Ignore him and just let him suffer alone.” A soft giggle came from Olivia. “How did he make you so mad? You found yourself a boyfriend right away, so isn’t he supposed to be the one to be angry?”
“Why should he be mad that I’m getting a boyfriend? Who am I to him?” Kate said haughtily. “If you’re not related to him, why did you curse him and want him to suffer on his own? Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”
Kate almost laughed out in frustration. “Whose side are you on?” “I thought I was on your side, but who knew that you didn’t even tell me that something so important had happened? So I’m contemplating whether I should switch sides or not.”
“How dare you?!” Her voice was even sounding a little choked up. “I know that you’re still recovering from your injury, so I can’t bring myself to bother you with such a trivial matter.”
Actually, she had been so mad for the past few days and had given Nathan a terrible scolding at home. Still, she couldn’t deny that he broke her heart, even when she left with so much grace during the breakup, like a bold and fearless woman who could call it quits anytime.
Despite that, he kept occupying her mind; it was utterly frustrating that his presence wouldn’t leave her alone after she had dumped him..
Although she had made a rash promise to try. dating Jasper, she still had to honor her word, or it wouldn’t be unfair to him.
Recently, she would always show up whenever he asked her out, giving him and herself a chance. As he was such a fantastic person, maybe she would fall for him after giving their relationship a try.
Every day, that was how she would hypnotize herself, but a date that was supposed to be romantic and heartwarming turned into a tormenting experience that she resisted from the bottom of her heart.
And the man who made her this way actually had the cheek to go to Olivia so she could put in a good word for him. “He has no shame at all, telling all this. nonsense to you!”
Olivia sighed helplessly as she soothed Kate, “Alright, don’t be sad anymore. Actually, Nathan didn’t contact Melanie. I’m afraid both of you have been set up by someone.”
“Don’t listen to the bullsh*t coming out of his mouth. All day, he’s just spouting nonsense. If I trust him again, I’ll take his last name!” Her remark made Olivia chuckle. “Looks like you’ll really have to take his last name then, Mrs. Baker!” “I’ll ignore you if you keep speaking up for him!”
‘I’m not speaking up for him but telling you a fact. Someone installed a bug in his car and had eavesdropped on all your conversation. That’s why someone sent that text at that time, and you happened to see it.” Kate was silent for a few seconds when she heard that piece of information. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Will I lie to you? Hang on,” Olivia said, sending. a picture to her on the messaging app. That was the picture Nathan took of the bug under his car seat. “This is the bug he discovered in his car. So, someone purposely instigated the break-up between you.”
The moment she saw the picture, she didn’t waste any time asking, “Is it Melanie Hopper?”
