Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

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. noveldrama

“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?

My dad wasn’t the first person to say this. Ethan said it as well. “I will talk to him.” he shook his head stopping. No, I will talk to him.” I didn’t want to know how that will go.

“Talk to whom and about what?” Marcus also appeared from behind us, I needed to tour that damn house and figure out how people were appearing like magicians. “You about Nick.” My dad responded without even looking

at him.

Marcus came and joined us taking my other hand. Now I was in the middle. “Letting Nick come here whenever he wants to.” I glanced at him, but he looked fine to me. “This is about Lupita, isn’t it?”

“See, I told you he was not that stupid.” My dad said making Marcus scoff. “I understand, I was going to talk to

my wife about it as well. This Nick thing seems like we are putting restrictions on their relationship. As long as Nick stays clear of my wife, then I have no problem with high coming here.”

That was easy, Lupita was going to be happy to hear that. “Don’t tell Lupita.” Both my dad and husband said at the same time. I stopped to look at them with a frown on my face. “Why?”

“I just told you not to get involved, Olivia. What part of that didn’t you hear?”

“Now look who’s acting like a parent.” My dad stopped. “What do you mean acting?” I frowned, “I am not acting here, Olivia. I am the parent, and I will protect you from the stupid situations you always manage to put yourself in. Grow up!” he looked angry.

I didn’t know why he would be angry because we were just talking. “You have kids now; you are a mother. Stop putting yourself in situations that might take you away from your kids.” Okay, it wasn’t about Lupita anymore, it was about everything else.

“Luke, I think you are…”

I squeezed my husband’s hand; he glanced at me, and I shook my head. He frowned; I was sure he was wondering why I was stopping him from defending me. But my dad needed to vent, things, horrible things had happened that threatened my life.

During that time, his focus was on finding me just like everyone else. When I was found, he didn’t even see me for ten minutes before I was gone, and he had to stay behind and fix the mess I made.

Yes, I was aware of the fact that I got myself kidnapped. If I didn’t go looking for Xander, none of that would have happened. Then when everyone else was breathing and starting to relax, he couldn’t. He had to find me a new and safe home.

A parent’s worries never end. “I am sorry dad; I promise never to put you through something like that again.” He looked shocked that I called him dad and that I was apologizing. I rarely called him that and it still came as a shock to him.
