Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 367

MARCUS

Everything had become such a huge mess, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that Ethan would ever do something like that. the man was not capable of hurting my wife. Nick could do it and everyone else, me included but not Ethan.

That man cared deeply for Olivia, and it wasn’t something that developed now. It had been there since she was with Nick. Beside Luke and I. Ethan was the one guy who put Olivia’s needs first. That was one of the reasons why my wife never saw a reason to change the birth certificate.

Well, that was what I wanted to believe, the truth of the matter was that I didn’t know why we never thought about it until something like that happened. I turned to my weeping wife. Now sniffing as if she had a cold.

“I am sorry, I know I played a huge part in this and that is why he is so angry.” She gave me a look I didn’t understand. I knew my wife and I could read her like a book but not at that time. The way she looked at me had a little resentment to it and that hurt me.

“I don’t think I am the one you should be apologizing to. We both owe Ethan an apology not sitting here trying to make each other feel better about what happened. We messed up and we can’t run away from that, not this time.”

She said we both had to apologize to Ethan yet, the look in her eyes told me she resented me more than the man who took our son without our permission. “I know we have to apologize to him, but I am not going to sit here and watch you hurting like this.”

Again, that look. did she not get how much it hurt me when she looked at me that way? Or was hurting me the point of it all?

I tried to calm myself, there was no point in us both getting angry. “Olivia, you are my wife, and your happiness matters to me. please, stop being angry. We may not be able to fix things with Ethan and his girlfriend, but we can fix our friendship.”

I had to try and make her understand that things could still turn around. “Ethan didn’t say he was taking Samuel away from us, he just wanted to teach us a lesson and we have learnt it. now it’s time we move forward and try not to repeat the same mistakes again.”

Wife stood and walked away without saying a word, it was like she didn’t even like that I was talking to her. Nick chuckled and that pissed me off even more. I didn’t even know why he was listening to our conversation to begin with.

I threw a glare his way and he lifted his hands in mock surrender. “But man, you have got to understand that anything you say now is going to piss her off.” he crossed the room joining me on the couch.
