Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 361

OLIVIA

“When will you stop controlling people? These are not your employees Marcus; they are our friends. what you said to her was wrong, I too was not going to let her be with the kids, you didn’t have to treat her like a criminal when she has done nothing.”

I sighed putting my phone aside after Ethan hung up on me. “I am protecting this family, and I did what you wanted as well. You didn’t seem comfortable the moment you saw them it was worse when that woman came. What did you want me to do?”

I didn’t want her there while the kids were there as well, I wanted her gone, that I admit. But I had already spoken to Ethan and was going to make time to meet her without the kids a couple of times. Get to know her for Ethan’s sake.

“That is all true, but you didn’t have to use Samuel, he was already leaving, and we had already spoken. You didn’t have to use Samuel; Ethan has been more of a father to Samuel than anyone else and he is going to therapy to stay close to him. stop using him like that.”

My husband looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Maybe I had, we had been through so much with strangers but none of them were brought by Ethan, it had always been me and Nick. Ethan and the rest always worked on cleaning up after us.

“You are unbelievable, you know that?” he then walked away. “We are already getting help, loosen up a bit.” I turned to find Nick standing there. He walked further into the room. “I just put Lilly to sleep.”

I nodded and poured myself a glass of wine. “How have you been?” I sat on a bar stool sighing. “I have been well. I can see you have as well.” He sat next to me pouring himself a glass as well. “I have been learning a lot about myself and behaviour. It has been an eye-opening journey.”

I couldn’t remember the last time Nick looked the way he did. He looked well. “I am glad you are getting help, Nick. As someone who has been to therapy, I can say it’s not an easy journey but its worth it.” he nodded.

“Am sorry, Olivia. You are the most important person in my life and yet I have hurt you the most. I don’t know how I didn’t see how much I was hurting you until now. Forgive me, I can’t promise not to hurt you again. I promised that before but ended up hurting you again. But I will try by all means not to hurt you this time.”

I didn’t want an apology from him, all I wanted was for him to be a better person, a better version of himself and a better father to Samuel.

“I didn’t ask you to work on yourself for me, I asked for you to be a better father and role model for our son. That is all I ever wanted; the grudges I held against you are all forgotten. I realised that I would never move on if I continued to hold grudges against you.”
