Revenge After Divorce (Olivia and Nick) novel Chapter 370

OLIVIA

I knew he was only saying that to hurt me, but Marcus couldn’t take it, he was my husband after all, and he couldn’t just sit back and watch while I was being disrespected. “That is both rude and disrespectful, Ethan. That is my wife you are talking to like that.”

He was angry but trying extremely hard not to make things worse than they already were. “Oh, so, you do know what disrespectful means, which means you were disrespectful and said hurtful things to her on purpose knowing what effect they would have on her.”

That was exactly why I didn’t say anything, I knew it would come out where it was now. “Marcus, you are quick to defend your wife yet when you are dealing with others, you don’t consider their feelings. To you everyone else can get hurt as long as your wife is okay, is that it?”

I felt like we were going around in circles. We were not making progress at all. It was not that I wanted to resolve the matter quickly dismissing Ethan’s feelings, but at the same time going around in circles was not helping with anything.

“Marcus, I know you want to defend me, and I appreciate that. But for now, I would like us to deal with what we came here for.” I could tell he wanted to protest but when he looked at me, I gave him a pleading look.

The man was already angry and anything we say to him was not going to change his mind right at that moment or appease him. he needed time, all we needed to do was to apologize for our wrongdoings.

“As I said, I am sorry Ethan, I made a mistake. Please forgive me and I am willing to go and apologize to Emily as well. Explain to her why I reacted the way I did that day.” He sighed looking frustrated.

He might have really liked Emily and my husband, and I ruined things for him. “There is no need to apologise to Emily. We already broke up, there is no need to go there. But you have not only disappointed me with your selfishness. You have hurt me as well. I never thought you of all people will be one to cause me pain.”

He stood and crossed the room going to stand by the window with his back on us. “You were always considerate, always thinking of others and putting others before your own needs. That is what made us obsessed with you. That compassionate and considerate Olivia was who we would have followed to the ends of the world if she needed us to. But this Olivia…”

He turned to look at me, but the look was not a pleasant one, he looked disgusted. That hurt, Ethan had never looked at me any other way but with a smile on his face and sparkle in his eyes. But not this time.

“This Olivia, the person you have turned into, I don’t like her very much, this Olivia is selfish and only thinks about herself and her family. This Olivia hurts her friends, she disregards their feelings, use them then throw them away when they are no longer needed.”
