Chapter 30
NICK
I went straight to my parent’s house after the gals. I was pissed by what Olivia did there, allowing Brandon to dance and fin with he
She was all smiles and laughing as they danced like an old couple Brandon is going to stay the hell away from my wife if he knew what was good for himn.
Going to my parent’s house was the only logical thing I could do in that situation. I was too angry to go home, about one, being that didn’t want to go home and face Sandra I was angry with her for what she did at the gala, and I was afraid if I went home. I was going to say things I was going to regret. Second, I was going to find out what they learned from Olivia after taking to herNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
But by the look of things and how she was behaving towards me. I had a feeling that it didn’t go well. Given parked in front of the house. 1 am going to sleep here, no need to wait for me, you can leave if you want to. “I told him then went into the house
My parents were still awake, the light was still on and when I went inside, they were sitting far from each other and not talking. Father was watching tv while mom was reading a magazine. “Should I even ask what is going on here?” no one responded, it was like 1 was talking to myself. “Mom, dad, what is going on?”
Mother didn’t even glance at me, she kept her focus on the magazine she was holding “Can somebody say something, please!” 1 needed to know how it went, where my son was and if my wife aomitted that the boy was ours.
“Your mother is acting like a child, or like she doesn’t want that child” Mother threw him an icy glare “Did I say I don’t want that
child? You never heard me utter those words. You just don’t want to be told when you are wrong, but you are. What you did to Olivia is wrong”
I had never seen my parents talk to each other like that and I felt responsible for what they were going through. I shouldn’t have. brought them into this, I should have looked for my son on my own and leave them out of it
“I guess you know something then, what is it?” mother placed the magazine she was holding on the table and looked at dad. He was acting strong like he didn’t care but I could see that the fight with mom was affecting him.
“Olivia did have a child in prison, but we don’t know what happened to that child. He might not have lived or otherwise the police chief or the men you paid to check on her would have told you. also, the prison’s record doesn’t show anything about her ever having a child there.”
Father paused and I waited for him to continue. I could tell there was something he was not telling me, and mother’s glares were not helping the situation. But I can admit to one thing, they found out more about the situation than I did. “We only know this because we took her to the hospital that day after being released.”
That made sense. “Father, I know it in my heart that the boy is mine. I felt it from afar even before I saw that he was a replica of me. Olivia did have my child and my best friend helped her hide him from me
Mother’s glare was now directed at me. “Even if that were true, it has nothing to do with you. that girl did what she could to survive, and I too was never going to give you my child after what you did. I will tell you this Nick, you will leave that girl alone and you do not
mention this in front of her again. You will learn to have patience and one day she will tell you about your son
I chuckled and father stood on his seat NEVER WILL NOT ALL ITI” Dad bellowed. “Dad wait mon are you asking me to abandon my son? Also, are you sure Olivia will tell me about him if I want? She is angry mother “Mom stood and looked me dead in the eyes
“And whose fault is it that she is so angry? Is it not yours? Stop being a spoilt brat and grow up Nick Take responsibility for what you did.” She said then walked away “Dad can borrow your ear he shook his head.
“I may have taken your side and betrayed that girl But that doesuct mean I will allow you to hurt her even more. Be content with what i gave you and accept my help to help you look for my grandson Also, send her the divorce papers and set her tree. She deserves to be happy after everything we have done to her.”
Wow! He did a three sixty fast. A second ago he was on myside and now he was warning me to steer clear of Olivia What did the man want from me? “But dad, without her help. We might not find my son. If she got help from Ethan like suspect We will never find child. Ethan is my best friend and he knows me better than anyon If he doesn’t want me to find my son then I will not find him
Dad walked to the kitchen, and I followed waiting for him to say something smart to help me get my son back. He poured himself a glass of water and drank making me stew a little bit as he took his time drinking it “Your mother and are already fighting like cats and dogs for what I did. It’s enough now son. We have done enough Set her free, give her the divorce papers then you and I can look for my grandson”
