Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 324 OLIVIA My dad and Ethan cin very late looking drunk. It was around ten at night when they cacting all suspicious, asking to talk to Marcus in private. I was dying of curiosity, but I held back, each tI got curious about their things, I ended up getting hurt. Instead of insisting they letin on whatever they were talking about.

I took Lilly up stairs to her room and put her to bed. Then went to check on Samuel, my son was fast asleep. I liked that he slept now but he still couldn't sleep through the night, he still woke up in the middle of the night. He was better though; I could see the difference since he started seeing the therapist.

What I did now was sleep in my room but had a baby monitor for his room like with Lilly, so I could hear him when he woke up and I would go and calm him down. "What are they doing here this late?" asked Lupita coming in and handinga cup of camomile tea.

"Beatsand I don't want to know. When they are acting all secretive it's normally nothing good. This time, I am not getting involved, I am still dealing with the aftermath of what Xander did, I don't need more. My plate is full." Lupita chuckled looking atas if she didn't believe a word I said.

"Trust me, Lupita, this time, I am not getting involved." She shrugged. Why was it so hard for her to believe me? I had learned my lesson with Xander. Getting involved with him even after my husband warnedagainst it, gotinto so much trouble and got other people involve as well.

Grandma was no longer with us anymore because of that. If that didn't teacha valuable lesson, then I was never going to learn. "Is Nick here as well?" I laughed, I should have known she cin just to ask about him.

She must really like Nick. "No, it's only my dad and Ethan. You know Nick doesn't chere without calling anymore. But, if he gets involved in whatever they are talking about down there, then we should be prepared because that would mean it's something serious that could affect us." She frowned taking a seat, she was as tired as I was of everything. "You must regret ever getting involved with this family sometimes. We have brought you nothing, but trouble and I am sorry about that." She wavedoff.

"Stop apologizing, you gavea family and each family has it's own challenges. I don't regret anything." I took a seat next to her. "You know..." "Olivia!" Before I could finish what I wanted to say, I was called downstairs. Lupita and I shared a look. "Nope, I am not going there. You can go and hear what they have to say if you want to. But I am staying right here." I couldn't take on more, those men down there knew that. I glanced over at Lilly's bed, my baby had grown in the past months, she was more human, and Luke couldn't get enough of her now. Nick, who used to call her a rat now called her a doll.

She was that beautiful with chubby cheeks. "There is no point ingoing there because they are going to ask for you anyway." I shrugged; I wasn't going. I refused. "Olivia! My dad called again but I pretended not to hear. Lupita laughed on the side.

"You know that he can cup here and find you, right?" I knew that but I was still stubborn, I didn't want to hear it.

Indeed, my dad soon appeared at the door. "Olivia, didn't you hearcalling you?" I sighed; I thought it would take a little longer for him to cfind me. "I heard you, but I was busy putting the baby down." I lied but he saw right through me.

"Right, Marcus said we should ask you, if we want to wake up the chef to make us something to eat." I released a breath I didn't know I was holding until he said that. “We ate take out today, so, I don't think he will mind making you something and he sleeps late, he should still be awake He grinned like a child in a toy store. "You are the best daughter, a father could ever ask for." He turned to leave but popped his head back in. "Do you want something from the kitchen? I can bring it up." I glanced at Lupita, and she shook her head in the negative.

"We are fine dad, enjoy your meal." He nodded and left. “You were scared for nothing; they are just hungry and behaving,"bgave her a look and laughed. "If you honestly believe that, then you still don't know this family very well. They are hiding something, and they think I care. I don't." Lupita looked distracted. "Call him."

"Huh?" I laughed, I knew what it was like when you missed the one you liked, wondering when I when you werem going to see them again. If they were t even thinking about you. I knew the feeling. "Call Nick, I can tell you miss him." She blushed covering her face with her hands. God! her innocence was so refreshing, I had never heard her mentioning a boyfriend in the past or anything like that. Which madeconclude that she had never dated before, yet Nick was her first, somehow that gotworried for her.

"I will just text him, he might be busy." She took her phone and texted. Then her phone never went back to where it was, she kept checking for a reply. She got it bad; I felt sorry for her.

That stage of uncertainty, not knowing the right thing to say or do.

It was excruciating. Instead of a text, her phone rang and the smile on her face toldit was Nick. I stood and left the room quietly to give her sprivacy.
