Nicole suddenly didn’t know what to do.
And Olivia couldn’t face herself anymore.
She couldn’t just ignore what Jacob did.
But getting divorce was too painful for her. And to be honest, she didn’t want to.
Yes!
She didn’t want to!
It was Jacob who carried her downhill when she was all alone in the grave. At that time, his shoulders were so broad and comforting.
Afterwards, he devoted a lot for her. He even gave up his promising career for her and became a businessman. He also did a lot for her career and her dream.
Other people didn’t know everything. But she knew the best that Jacob gave up a lot for their relationship. She always took it for granted and did nothing in return. When she had done filming at night and called him to say she missed him, Jacob would come to her from miles away just to see her and bring her food.
But such a caring husband cheated on her and had a baby with another woman behind her back!
Though they never met, she couldn’t stand that this baby was not hers.
Davon could tell that Olivia was feeling miserable and he felt sorry for her. But sometimes he had to tell the truth or she would continue to think in a wrong way. He was not taking Jacob’s side. He just wanted Olivia to see that the heart wanted what it wanted.
Davon dragged Nicole out of the room as Olivia was feeling bad.
Nicole seemed not very happy.
“Davon, your words are too strong.”
“And you are too nosy.”
Davon knew how close Nicole and Olivia were. But no one should get involved in such things.
“Nicole, I was afraid that you two might drift away if Olivia really gets divorced.”
“How come?”
Nicole felt that was a dumb question just after she said it.
Davon explained, “An outsider shouldn’t put his nose into other people’s marriage. Now, even Olivia herself didn’t know exactly whether she should get a divorce and she actually didn’t want a divorce. But if they divorced because of you, do you think Olivia will blame you when she comes to her senses? Also, you and Samuel are individuals. Samuel and Jacob are like brothers for so many years. No matter how horrible Jacob is, he is his brother. I know how you threatened Samuel. He made you a promise not because he thinks you are right. It was because he loves you and spoils you. But don’t waste his affections for you. And don’t ever say things like that anymore.”
“I know.”
Nicole bowed her head like a misbehaving child. She felt terrible for what she did.
“Go back to your room. Leave Olivia alone so she can think it straight.”
Nicole nodded.
When she went back to the room, Samuel was still busy with his work. Seeing that Nicole looked quite down, he had to put down his work.
He laughed, “how could I dare to fool you? I was just trying to smooth things over. We are married and this is our life. We don’t need to make our life a mess for other’s business. If I can solve this without causing any damage, it’s okay to do that.”
“Hmmm! You’re always right!”
Nicole admitted that she couldn’t argue with Samuel. But she had to say that Samuel had his own boundaries. He could spoil her and do what she said, but he had principles.”
“Jacob is a smart guy. Why would he be so dumb when this happened?”
Nicole didn’t know why.
But Samuel did.
“He’s stubborn. Sometimes, when he wants something, he will stick to it no matter what. He thinks that he didn’t cheat on her and he just wanted a child. If he could have a child without hurting Olivia, he would definitely do that. No one could persuade him not to do that. Maybe he will finally realize how wrong he was when things can’t work out for them anymore.”
“But that will be too late. It was not just one thing. When Julissa caused that wire incident and he didn’t do anything, Olivia was disappointed enough. Then he even did worse things to her.”
Nicole was resentful.
Samuel sighed and said, “Samuel is a good soldier, a good assistant and even a good businessman. But he is not a good husband. So what do you say?”
“I don’t wanna get involved anymore. Let them handle it. My cousin is right, their marriage is none of my business.”
If she didn’t see how miserable Olivia was, Nicole would still think that she was doing the right thing and Olivia really wanted to get divorced. But after hearing what Davon said, she finally knew even strong women could be vulnerable and indecisive in a relationship. What she should do was to support her.”
No matter what decision Olivia would make, she would definitely back her up.

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
