Chapter 1330 It’s a Setup by His Parents
The call ended abruptly.
Olivia was left to stew in her anger as she sat on the bed, breathing heavily. Her chest heaved as she cursed Nathan in her heart. Who does he think he is?
Right then, Eugene had just finished his call and happened to see Olivia boiling mad on the bed. He couldn’t help but feel amused at her plight as he paced to her and pulled her to him, consoling, “There, there. Don’t be mad. You look as though I have cheated on you with some other woman.”
The still furious Olivia raised her icy eyes and ferociously glared at him without saying a word, which sent a chill down his spine, and he grinned sheepishly. “I’m just kidding. I have such an amazing wife. Why would I ever cheat on you?”
However, she merely glowered at him with a stoic face and intoned seriously, “If you dare to pull such a stunt, you can forget about ever coming home. Once my trust for you is broken, you can never have it again.”
Eugene was at a loss for words as he thought, I must have lost my mind. Why did I even try to crack such a tasteless joke at a time like this? So, he hastily pulled her into his arms and tried to pacify her. “I told you that I was just kidding. Don’t get huffy, okay? All of me, including my heart, belongs to you and I’m not afraid to put my faithfulness to the test.”
Only then did Olivia deign to grace him with a look that was significantly less threatening than the one he was given earlier.
Thus, he silently breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe for now. “I’ve found out what happened last night. Would you like to hear about it?”
She stared at him with unblinking eyes, waiting for him to continue. So, when he said nothing after a minute, she snapped at him impatiently. “Speak!”
Eugene immediately realized that he had put his foot in his mouth again as he hastily explained, “Calm down. I mean that there’s a difference between taking the initiative and being pushed into a situation. Look, the court usually gives a lighter sentence to a person who pleads guilty. Plus, we aren’t even involved in this mess. Who knows? Maybe Halma will forgive him after hearing him out.”
Olivia snorted disdainfully. “That’s impossible. Even though I’m not Halma, I know her well. She’s a lot like me in many ways and would rather die than yield. Asking her to compromise in a relationship is completely out of the question!”
Eugene tightened his arms around her and coaxed, “Okay, that’s a problem in their relationship and we can’t do anything to help. Just trust me that I won’t place you in such a difficult position.”
She shot him a glare from the corner of her eyes and drawled nonchalantly, “I won’t even need to contemplate whether I should dirty my hands if you ever have the guts to betray me. My son will gladly finish the job for me without any prompting.”
Her words caught him off guard, and he was rendered speechless by her vicious yet utterly true statement.
