After Eugene was gone, Jewel walked up to Olivia and asked, “Did Eugene explain everything to you?” Since Olivia did not have any energy left, she replied listlessly, “Yes.”
Jewel observed her expression and asked, “In that case, why the long face?” A dog-tired Olivia let out a long sigh. “I’m not sad. I’m just exhausted.”
“Physically or mentally?”
“Both.” “Alright. Since you don’t want to talk about it, go and get some shut-eye,” Jewel said. “I’ll head out and grab some food with North. Do you want anything?”
Olivia replied, “Nope. Go ahead. I’ll get some rest now.” After they were gone, Olivia got changed and lay in bed. She did not lie as she was truly exhausted. She could understand why Eugene wanted to hide the truth from her and that his feelings for Azalea were different.
However, she could not continue loving the man without minding his relationship with another woman. Perhaps I’m just selfish.
Her tears slid down her cheeks, but she soon wiped them off and secretly chastised herself. Why am I crying when he’s the more aggrieved one? What have I done wrong, though? Don’t I deserve his love in its entirety?
All of a sudden, her phone started ringing. She picked it up and realized it was Ellen’s video call. She had been giving Olivia a call every day for the past two days, but it was her first time giving her a video call.
Olivia quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a smile, pretending that nothing had happened. Then, she connected the call and said, “Hi, Mrs. Nolan.”
Ellen asked with a smile, “Did you have your dinner, Olivia?” Olivia replied, “Not yet. Jewel and North are buying it for me. What about you, Mrs. Nolan?”
“I’ve had my dinner. Did Eugene go looking for you?”
Olivia nodded. “Yes.”
“Did he explain everything to you?” Olivia replied with a smile, “Yes. I’m sorry for making you worried.” “It’s fine. Did Eugene bully you? You must tell me if he dares to do so. I’ll teach him a lesson.”
“He’s been treating me well.” Ellen added, “Didn’t North go home with him? Can you take care of North on your own? If you’re worried he can’t take good care of North, you can send him to me. I’ll look after him.”
Olivia explained, “North wanted to stay here. He’ll go back a few days later. Don’t worry about it, Mrs. Nolan.”
Ellen then said, “Olivia, even though Eugene may appear to be callous, he’s concerned about the people around him. He’s sincerely in love with you. I’ve never seen him so concerned about any woman before. Sometimes, he might make mistakes because he’s too cautious. You guys were separated for various reasons, and you gave birth to North under such a difficult circumstance.
You and North must’ve gone through a lot of hardship. Apart from Eugene, all of us are grateful for what you’ve done. Therefore, you two must always stay together. Talk things out if there are problems. If he offends you in any way, don’t start loathing him because he truly loves you. Just give him a small punishment.”
Olivia nodded. “I understand, Mrs. Nolan. We’ve made up, so please don’t worry.” Ellen let out a sigh of relief. “That’s wonderful. Alright, I’ll stop bothering you. Give me a call if you need anything.”
After the call ended, Olivia fell into her thoughts. again. One might develop feelings for the other party after spending a long time together. What is it between us? Is it gratitude or love?
Three days later, Curtis scurried into the Nolan Group’s president’s office and said, “President Nolan, the paternity test’s result is ready.”
