Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 368

OLIVIA

Day six and still no call from Ethan. I thought they would have been back by now, but they were not. I missed my son much that I hear his voice sometimes and I would smile and look only find nothing. I went to his room every morning, but his scent was starting to fade.

I wanted to call so many times to beg him to bring my son back, but I stopped myself every time. The man had been my rock when I had nothing, and I treated him like nothing. He had a right to be angry and I had to take it.

“Mom! Mom we home!” there it was again, his voice, was I going crazy, why did I keep hearing it? I stood and went to stand by the window looking into the backyard. “Mom, are you home!” no, I was not hearing things.

I hurried to the door and just as I opened my son was standing there. When he saw me, a huge smile broke on his face. I kneeled and hugged him. I missed him so much. “I missed you, mom.” I teared up.

“I missed you too, big boy. Did you have fun?” he pulled out of the hug, huge smile on his face. “Mom, we had so much fun, we did a lot of this and even went skiing!” the excitement in his voice, the sparkle in his eyes and the huge smile on his face.

That all told me that he had a blast, no wonder he didn’t want to come home. The trip did a lot of good for him after the last trip we had that ended in disaster. “Am glad you had fun baby.” He left and rushed to his sister’s room.

I followed behind, he went to her bed. “She is sleeping, I brought her a doll.” I smiled. Lilly was too small to play with a doll, but her brother got it for her.

“Yes, you can show her when she wakes up. come on, I want to hear everything that you did on your trip.” We walked out and down the stairs with him tell me about the adventures he had with Ethan.

The skiing, camping, hunting, and playing games. I couldn’t remember the last time my son was that excited about anything. Not since the incident. It was good to see him that way. Ethan was sitting on the couch.

I hesitated not knowing what I would say to him and if I was ready to face him. “Ethan.” I greeted and went to sit on the couch. “I didn’t want to leave my son; it seemed like there was no one at home.”

“No, am here, Marcus went to the office and Nick, I think. My dad went back to Summer Strand he had something urgent to deal with there.”

He hummed. “Well, I just came to bring the boy, I am leaving.” He stood and started walking towards the door.

“Ethan!” he didn’t stop, I thought he didn’t hear me. so, I called again. “Ethan! I called louder this time.

Eventually he came and sat next to me. “How are you feeling now that his home?” I offered him a smile, I was happy, I missed him.

“Am happy his back and looking this happy. It has been a while since I last saw him this way. It warms my heart seeing him like this. I guess he needed the vacation more than I thought he did.”

Marcus looked at him playing with his new toys. “The last trip wasn’t exactly pleasant.” I nodded.

“So, did you and Ethan talk?” I was expecting that. I shook my head in the negative. “No, he wasn’t interested in talking. I think he is still angry about everything and thinks I am going to cut him off Samuel’s life. he sounded like he is prepared to fight me on that one.”

Marcus sighed. “But he has no right to fight you on anything, Samuel is your son and Nick is his father. we know what he did and appreciate it but that is no way to act.”

He wasn’t getting it. “This is not about fighting for custody or anything. Even if it was, I would lose because my parental right, I signed them off to him, I didn’t know how long I was going to be in jail for and I wanted my son to have a good life and be away from Nick. That is why I asked him to register Samuel as his.”
