Chapter 326
OLIVIA
I was going to get myself a glass of water when I overheard the conversation between Lupita and the guys. Well, it wasn’t really a conversation, more like she was reprimanding them, which was quite shocking. She was like a different person altogether, standing there all confident and giving them a piece of her mind.
I didn’t like how she spoke to them, though. As my husband said, it was disrespectful. I understood she had feelings for Nick, but I didn’t think that was the right way to address the issue. Hearing her, I got curious, wanting to know what Nick had done,
Then she mentioned her grandmother and all that curiosity went out the window. How was I supposed to stand in front of Lupita and tell her how wrong Nick was when Nick was the one who punished Xander and got her justice.
After I put them both in danger. I had no right to, if I were a good person, I wouldn’t be able to stand in front of her and tell her what. So, I quietly went back upstairs without anyone seeing me. Guilt eating me alive.
“What is bothering you.” I turned and my husband stood there watching me, leaning against the door frame. He looked so handsome that I momentarily forgot what I was thinking. “It’s nothing.” He pushed himself off the door and came closer.
“Now, you can fool anyone, but you cannot fool me, now tell me. what is wrong?” I sighed, I didn’t know what to say or how to explain it without making the whole thing spiral out of control. We had been through so much, we needed peace.
“It’s nothing, really. I am just missing grandma and thinking about the conversations we have had together.” Marcus nodded taking me into his arms. “She was a good woman and a great person.” That she was.
A calm and pure soul. “Why are you suddenly thinking about her?” I pulled out away. I missed the contact as soon as I did. But I needed to look him in the eyes before saying what I wanted to say.
“Lupita has feelings for Nick.” He didn’t look surprised by my words, I guess her outburst down there made that clear. “I don’t want us to have issues with her, not after everything.” A sighed left him, by then he knew that I heard their conversation.
“I understand that you might still be feeling guilty about what happened to her grandmother. But it was not your fault, my love. The only person to blame is Xander.” I knew he was going to say something like that to make me feel better.
Just like Lupita had been doing. “I understand that but, did you hear the way she brought up her grandmother? She is still angry about what happened to her, and I understand where she is coming from.” I sighed not really sure what else to say.
“Olivia, are you telling me to forget how disrespectful she was because of that?” I shook my head in the negative. ” That is not what I am saying, you can talk to her about it tomorrow, but I don’t want you to make it a big deal.”
The whole thing was frustrating, Lupita was like a sister to me, and I didn’t want anything to ruin our relationship. Also, not addressing what she did was not going to help the situation. I wanted peace in the house but that did not mean I should overlook what she did.
“She is grateful to Nick for whatever he did.” He opened his mouth to say something, but I stopped him. “Don’t tell me anything, I don’t want to know. I am talking about Lupita here, not Nick.” I went and stood by the window looking out. noveldrama
I still had to call the moving company to come and help us move. I didn’t want to be in the house anymore. Looking out from that window was no longer a calming feeling. Now, all I saw were the dead bodies that were
once there.
It being dark like it was at that moment, made me strain my eyes looking in the yard as if something were going to jump out of there, like something was lacking in the shadows, watching, and waiting for the right time to strike. “Where did your mind go now?” asked Marcus pulling me away from the window. He must have figured it out.” We were talking about Nick and Lupita.” I nodded trying to get the thoughts of the day out of my head.
“As I was saying, talk to her tomorrow and talk to Nick as well. If he says he is fine, then don’t push it. just keep an eye on him and when something happens. You will see it sooner and act accordingly.”
He pulled me towards him enveloping me with his arms. “Thave the smartest wife.” He said kissing the top of my head making me blush.
“I will do as you say, I don’t want to it appear as if we have somethingainst him as well or that we want to use
what happened to prevent him from having a good relationship with Samuel. Your way will ensure that.”
I was glad he understood, it was not like we could just cut those people off, they were in our lives and played significant roles in them. they were important and needed to be treated as such. With family some issues needed to be handled delicately, or they would spiral out of control.
“Come on, let’s go to bed.” I turned to him. “Did my dad and Ethan go to bed already?” Marcus nodded. “Luke went to bed, but Ethan refused saying he will drink until he blacks out. He is traumatized.” I felt sorry for him.
“Then let me get him a blanket, it can get really cold at night.” I went to the spare room and got a blanket and a pillow for Ethan. Then went downstairs, he was half asleep when I got there. “Here, take the pillow and blanket.” He groaned. “Could you please cover me? I don’t have the energy to get up next to him then lifted his head up to put the pillow under his head for support, but Ethan did the unthinkable.
noeling sorry for him, I kneeled
I was
He pulled me closer to him and smashed his lips onto mine kissing the living hell out of me. my eyes widened in shock, but I didn’t react fast enough as my brain was still trying to catch up and process happening when I heard Luke’s voice. “Just what the hell are you two doing?”
