Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 378

ETHAN

“Where are you going so early in the morning?” Emily asked, I had been waiting for so long, well, some would say three days was not a long time, but it was for me. I had asked my lawyer to sort out Samuel’s birth certificate for me so I could give it to Olivia now that it had arrived. I couldn’t wait to give to her.

I wanted to see the look on her face when she saw it, how happy she would be and, she would realise just I how sorry I was for what I had done to her. “I am going to the Walker mansion.” Emily didn’t look pleased by my response.

I wish she and Olivia could both understand how important they were to me. I wanted them to get along so I could stop being in the middle. I got where Luke was coming from and why he said what he said but I wasn’t ready to give up my relationship with Olivia.

The two of us had come a long way for us to part like that, I still valued our friendship and wanted to keep going with her.

“Do you have to go this early?” I didn’t know why she was still at my place. I enjoyed her company, and I liked spending time with her. but I needed my space sometime and not to be questioned when I stepped out of the house.

“The earlier I got, the sooner I will return.” I took my keys and headed to the door. “Ethan, are you sure there has never been anything between you and Olivia?” I stopped in my tracks. I wished there were because then, I wouldn’t have had to explain myself all the time.

“I will not dignify that with an answer.” I walked out, got into the car, and drove off. I realised on the way that the way I responded to her might make her think I had feelings for Olivia that went beyond friendship.

I called her, it rang a couple of times before her voice came online. “Am sorry.” Silence followed my words, she was offended. “I didn’t mean to offend you. I am just trying to keep the people in my life and keep the peace. Olivia and I had been at odds for a while now and I want it to stop. And no, there has never been anything between us.”

She sighed, “It’s just that you and Nick care about her so much. I understand Nick, he was her husband and still has lingering feelings for her. but I don’t understand you. your attachment to her and it makes me jealous.”

I knew she was jealous, and I didn’t want her to be. I wanted her to be safe with me and not worry that I might leave her someday. “You have no reason to worry or to be jealous, Olivia and I are just friends nothing more.”

Yes, I had a crush on her but that had been gone a long time ago. I couldn’t tell Emily that either as she would think I still had something for Olivia every time I would do something for her or when I visited Samuel.

That could cause issues in our relationship, and I didn’t want that. “You are the only woman for me, Emily, I don’t want you to forget that, and I need you to trust me.” I understood the jealousy, Olivia seemed as if she didn’t like Emily when they first met and that still haunted my woman.
