Chapter 335
OLIVIA
“You chased him away, didn’t you?” I turned to find Lupita standing behind me looking angry. It made me wonder if she was angry with me or something happened before she went there. “No, he decided to leave.” She scoffed as if she didn’t believe a word I said.
“It’s because you never wanted him here, if you did, you would have asked him to stay. Seeing that he is gone, 1 guess you really did chase him away.” I disliked Lupita’s attitude these days. I didn’t mind that she was saying what she wanted, but it’s how she was saying it that bothered me.
Also, the house was mine and I had the right to choose who to invite in and to whom not. However, this time, I did not have to chase anyone away, Nick, knew that coming to my house unannounced was wrong and left on his own.
“I don’t know what your problem is, but I will ask that you not take it out on me. You know the agreement I have in place with Nick, I didn’t have to chase Itim away, he knew he wasn’t supposed to be here, and I don’t even know why he came.” I walked away feeling the tension coming back.
Damnit, I had just released that damn tension, but it was back again, and it hadn’t been an hour yet! “Olivia!” She called out to me, I hesitated trying to decide if I should stop or keep going, but she was with my son.
I didn’t want him getting the wrong idea that maybe we weren’t getting along. I stopped and turned to look at her. She was already coming my way; I watched her closely just trying to see if I could spot any changes from her.
I saw nothing different, and I concluded that it was only her behaviour that changed. It was funny how we changed when there were men involved in our lives. That’s how much impact they had on us. “I am sorry.” I folded my arms in my chest and looked at her.
I wanted to know what she was apologizing for. “I shouldn’t have lashed out on you like that. It’s just that I haven’t seen him in almost a week and when he said he was here. I got excited thinking I was finally going to see him. But…” Nick was driving off when she arrived at the gate and thought I chased him away.
I sighed. “Lupita, I told you that I don’t have a problem with you seeing Nick and that means, I will not interfere with your relationship as long as he follows my rules. When he comes, he calls and you two can leave with Samuel.”
“I know all that and I am sorry. That was uncalled for.” I sighed feeling both frustrated and defeated. “But this is not the first time you have done something like this, spoken out of turn because of Nick. You did the same thing just the other day to my husband.”
