Chapter 335 OLIVIA "You chased him away, didn't you?" I turned to find Lupita standing behindlooking angry. It madewonder if she was angry withor something happened before she went there. "No, he decided to leave." She scoffed as if she didn't believe a word I said.
"It's because you never wanted him here, if you did, you would have asked him to stay. Seeing that he is gone, 1 guess you really did chase him away." I disliked Lupita's attitude these days. I didn't mind that she was saying what she wanted, but it's how she was saying it that bothered me.

"I don't know what your problem is, but I will ask that you not take it out on me. You know the agreement I have in place with Nick, I didn't have to chase Itim away, he knew he wasn't supposed to be here, and I don't even know why he came." I walked away feeling the tension coming back.
Damnit, I had just released that damn tension, but it was back again, and it hadn't been an hour yet! "Olivia!" She called out to me, I hesitated trying to decide if I should stop or keep going, but she was with my son.
I didn't want him getting the wrong idea that maybe we weren't getting along. I stopped and turned to look at her. She was already coming my way; I watched her closely just trying to see if I could spot any changes from her.
I saw nothing different, and I concluded that it was only her behaviour that changed. It was funny how we changed when there were men involved in our lives. That's how much impact they had on us. "I am sorry." I folded my arms in my chest and looked at her.
I wanted to know what she was apologizing for. "I shouldn't have lashed out on you like that. It's just that I haven't seen him in almost a week and when he said he was here. I got excited thinking I was finally going to see him. But..." Nick was driving off when she arrived at the gate and thought I chased him away.

When he comes, he calls and you two can leave with Samuel." I sighed feeling exhausted already, I hadn't even taken a tour of my house to see what it was like. When we went in there with Marcus, our goal was not the tour but a different one. Now that was over, I wanted to see and admire my new home.
"I know all that and I am sorry. That was uncalled for." I sighed feeling both frustrated and defeated. “But this is not the first tyou have done something like this, spoken out of turn because of Nick. You did the sthing just the other day to my husband." She looked embarrassed, I was sure she did not expectto call her out for that. "I don't want you to apologize because apologies don't help with anything if the behaviour is not corrected. I don't want us to be at odds here." We had been through so much with her and I didn't want something like that to get between us. "I understand, I don't know what is wrong withnow. I am not this person." I knew exactly what was wrong with her. "A man, Nick is what is wrong with you, specifically your feelings for him makes you want to protect him. but the way you are going about it is wrong. What you said was right though but how you said it was wrong." I paused and looked at her. I wanted to see if my words were registering to her, that she understood what I was trying to tell her, the lesson I was trying to teach her. “You when you say things in that manner, it doesn't matter Chapter 335 if they are right or wrong. They will not be taken into consideration because the only thing people will be thinking about is how inconsiderate and disrespectful you were when talking to them. Do you understand that?" She glared at me, for the first tsince we have met, Lupila glared at me. “I am not a child Olivia; I am a grown woman. You don't have to talk tolike I am a child. What they did was wrong and I couldn't control myself and just said what I felt at the time. But..." She paused and lookeddead in the eyes. She was angry, was taken back to a point that I didn't know how to react.
"If those men are as grown as they seem to think, then they will think about what I said and rectify their actions. Keeping Nick around, only to talk behind his back when they feel something is wrong with him is wrong in itself. It's immature." ☐
Lupita shook, clearly that incident still made her incredibly angry. "I know what they are capable of, and also know how kind they are. But we shouldn't overlook their flaws. They need to be told as well when they are wrong, don't you agree?"
I regretted even talking to her aboutthat. I seemed to have brought back all that anger. Which I didn't understand where it was coming from "I never said what you said to them was wrong, I would have done the sthing as well. But how you said it was. You are family and as a family, we must treat each other with respect.
Ve She sighed. "I understand, I was angry and let my anger get the better of me." I took her hands in mine, they were shaking indicating that she was still angry. "I understand."I had nothing else to say, it felt tolike she just wanted to be understood. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
