Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 

OLIVIA 

Lupita walked away, just when I let out a breath, my dad appeared out of nowhere. “You gave me a fright.” I was still traumatized by what happened at our previous home. People appearing out of nowhere still scared me. 

“Am sorry.” I took Lilly from him; my baby had grown but hated that she grew while we were on the road and different homes. “I think it’s time she left.” I was taken back that I looked up at him. My dad was tall, while I took after my mother, not that short though, I stood at five foot eight. 

“She is acting like a teenager in love while you are acting like her mother. She will resent you for saying no and for sounding like you are siding with your husband on issues like this and not her, she will also, like a teenager, resent you for not letting Nick come here to visit her.” 

My mind went blank, was I truly treating her like a child and I, her mother? That was not right, Lupita was a grown woman, and I didn’t want there to be tension between us. What was I even saying? There was already tension gathering on my shoulders as we spoke. 

“I don’t know dad, I like having her around.” He said nothing but leaned against the car. “I am around as well; I will be staying in the west wing, and the mafia business will be taking a step back. I want to focus on my family now, being a father and grandfather to your kids.” 

I liked that, we had lost so much time together and having him around had been nothing but great. He was trying hard, and I appreciated his efforts. But I liked having Lupita around as well. I couldn’t just kick her out because she was now dating. 

“To her it might seem like I don’t want her to be with Nick When she leaves this house, I don’t want it to be about Nick or an argument we had. I want her to leave when she wants to. Kicking her out is not an option, she is family now and I can’t do that to her.” My dad nodded. 

“You are good at this parenting thing.” I smiled, I was still not used to getting compliments from him and when I did get them. they always made me happy. “So good that you are now parenting old women acting like teenagers.” 

The excitement vanished; I didn’t know that was where it was going. “I am not good at this parenting thing because I haven’t been doing it for long. But as an outsider looking at things neutrally. I suggest you stay out of it.” 

I frowned, I didn’t know what that meant. He clearly heard me talking to Lupita about it and now he was telling me to stay out of it. How? “Olivia, I know you, let Lupita handle her relationship with Nick if you don’t want her to leave.” 

He pushed himself off the car and took my hand. We walked hand in hand towards the house. I felt like a child again. “Let Nick visit whenever he wants to, don’t make it seem like your rules are designed to keep them apart.” 
Marcus was not going to like that at all. As if he could hear my loud thoughts he said. “Marcus will understand. Nick is moving on as you can see and there is no need for him to be insecure anymore.” Was it that obvious?
