Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 

OLIVIA 

I wasn’t sure what I was hoping for. When Nick and my dad walked in, I found myself looking past them, almost expecting to see Marcus right behind them. I had told the man I needed time to myself, yet deep down, I still hoped to see him. How pathetic, wanting one thing but wishing for something entirely different. 

But then, seeing the baby, it shattered me. It was the first time I laid eyes on her, and I hadn’t realized she would look so fragile. She was so tiny, like she might break if I even touched her. It didn’t take long for me to notice that my father seemed uncomfortable around her. I understood, though; it was also my first time seeing such a small baby. Still, I felt a sense of relief hearing the doctors say she was doing well. They gave me instructions on how to care for her, and one of them stayed behind at my father’s request to assist with her. 

I was grateful for the help. Being in a foreign country with a baby who had medical needs wasn’t going to be easy, even with all my father’s wealth. I needed the doctor’s support, and I needed Lupita. 

“So, this is your baby?” Xander asked, standing next to me and gazing at the baby, who was sleeping soundly in the incubator. 

“I still don’t understand why you’re here,” Nick muttered, his voice sharp. He was standing near the door with Ethan and Samuel. I could feel my body light up with a mix of emotions from seeing the baby, but Nick didn’t seem to understand why she was so tiny or why she slept so much. 

Xander completely ignored Nick, as though he wasn’t even there, and I knew that was only going to fuel Nick’s anger. Nobody ever ignored Nick Jones. 

“You’re not family. We need some time alone, as a family, to talk. Please, give us the room,” Nick said sharply. 

I decided to tune them out. I had a baby to focus on, not a bunch of grown men acting like children. 

“From what I’ve heard, you’re not family either. So, we can leave together,” I shot back. 

“He’s not leaving, he is my dad!” Samuel suddenly piped up. We all turned to look at him, surprised. I hadn’t told him that Nick was his father, how did he know? Nick wore a foolish grin on his face. 

I knelt down in front of Samuel. 

“Sweetheart, who told you that Uncle Nick is your dad?” I asked gently. 

Samuel grabbed Nick’s hand, standing in front of him like a little protector. 

“Grandpa told me. He showed me pictures. He said my dad was busy but would come back when he was done with work. Dad came back to me now. Don’t send him away.‘ 

A wave of relief washed over me. Luke had done the right thing, and I was thankful he’d told Samuel that story. “Grandpa was right. Your dad did come back to you. No one is going to make him leave, okay?” 

Sarnuel nodded, then turned to Nick with a big smile on his face. 

“You don’t have to leave now Dad. You can stay here with me.” 

Nick’s face shifted in a way I couldn’t quite read. 

“Yes, boy, I won’t leave. How about we go shopping tomorrow? Dad didn’t bring any clothes.” 

Samuel’s face lit up, and he nodded eagerly. 

My heart ached. Why had I kept them apart for so long? I had been focused on my own needs, neglecting my son

and his feelings. I was thankful that my dad had noticed this and stepped in to help. 

“Isn’t he your father?” Xander asked, curiosity in his voice, as he pointed to Ethan. 

Samuel nodded proudly. “He is! I have three dads, my daddy Nick, my daddy Ethan, and daddy Marcus. Grandpa says I’m blessed because other kids only have one dad, but have three.” 

He beamed with joy as he spoke. 

“Yes, boy. You have three,” Ethan said, lifting Samuel up and spinning him around. “And no one can bully you 

because your dads will always be there to protect yo 

The room was filled with Samuel’s laughter, his giggles ringing through the air. Nick glanced at me, his eyes red and swollen, as if he was holding back tears. 

“Thank you,” he mouthed, and I gave him a soft smile in return. 

“You have such an interesting family, Olivia. How about I take you out to dinner so I can hear more about it?” Xander asked. 

I raised an eyebrow, surprised. I had thought the situation would make him run for the hills, which would have been just fine with me. 

I didn’t feel that way about him, I missed my husband. 

“What’s wrong with you?” Ethan asked, clearly puzzled by Xander’s offer. 

Nick, without a word, took Samuel’s hand and walked out of the room. I appreciated that he was thoughtful enough to remove him from the tension that seemed to be building.
