Chapter 0141 OLIVIA I was about to protest and ask him to let us try on our own, but he had already cut the call. Great! Another thing for Nick's mother to blme for. She will think that I asked Luke to help and wanted to get her son into trouble. But then again, both Nick and Luke were grown men. Nothing I say or do was going to change who they were or what they wanted to do.
If Nick was hurt, he should have found a way to call and tell people where he was. Not unless he couldn't for sreason. Also, when he gave his car away then he would or could have given that lady skind of a message to indicate that he needed help. Or was giving the car away the indication of him wanting help? No one could know what was going through that man's mind when he did what he did, and I didn't know why I was being blamed for his stupidity. "What is the matter?" I sighed feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. "Luke," Marcus gave my hand a little squeeze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Tell me." "He is going to look for Nick.” He nodded. "I don't think it matters who looks for him as long as he is found. Then I want nothing to do with the man." I felt the sway, God knows I was tired of everything in my life being about Nick Jones. i just couldn't get rid of the man no matter how hard I tried.
"Let's go home. We need srest and wait for Luke to give us news." I needed the rest; I needed sleep more than anything as I had not been sleeping well the past two days. When we got home, Ethan was there. I frowned wondering what the man was doing there.
We stopped the car and got out. "What now?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know because I knew whatever it was that would cof his mouth was just going to depress me. “My men found Nick's phone." Okay, that was a good thing or not. "So? What are we supposed to do with that?" Asked Marcus but the way Ethan was looking, it was like he had something more to say. "I want to know if we should take it to the police or keep it?" "Take it to the police, obviously!" wasn't that the right thing to do? "What if we take it to them only for them to find something more incriminating on it. what then?" I didn't understand Ethan's logic, I had nothing to hide, I didn't know why he was worried.
"What if we don't take it to them and then there is something on it that could help find Nick what then?” I didn't know where their minds were at but toit was pretty clear. "Olivia, we are already suspects, why don't we check what is on it first before giving it to the police?" I shook my head.
"So that when we find something there that could be incriminating to any of us, we can destroy it before the police found it." Ethan supported. I couldn't believe him; Nick was his best friend! Or so I thought. "That would be abstraction of justice and tempering with evidence. That too can send us to jail." I sighed; they were drainingmore. "Look, I don't care what they find in there. I know I didn't do anything to Nick, if either of you have something to hide then by all means, go through the phone and do whatever you want with it. just don't getinvolved." I left them standing and went into the house. I hung my bag then took off my shoes and went straight into the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of wine. The first one I drank in one go while standing. Mm that hit home, just what I needed.
I poured the second one and sat on the kitchen counter. That was when Marcus cin. "We are only trying to protect you. we don't know what happened to Nick and we don't want whatever it is coming back to you. let's face it, Nick is an asshole who always finds a way to fuck you over." 1/2 Chapter 0141 +25 BONUS I knew who Nick was, but I was just tired of my life revolving around the man. "You know, when we started dating, I thought we would keep our distance from them. but then you invited them to help with my move and then they beclike distant cousins or friends we talk to when we need to. But that move made them think it was okay to stick around." I downed the second glass. “I wanted Nick out of my life, and I only let him hang around because you kept him around. Even after everything he has putthrough. I don't know how you could just be friends with him." He frowned. "Are we fighting right now, over Nick?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't know Marcus. I am just telling you how I feel." He chuckled. "Do you want to know why kept him around el Olivia?" oh, so now he was going to tell me. I wondered why he never said anything before. "I kept Nick around for you." I laughed out loud.
Seriously? "You may laugh all you like my love, but there will ca day when that boy knows the truth about his father, and you will have to m explain why he was not around. Keeping Nick around works in your favour in the future. So, you could tell your son that even if your father and I didn't get along. Even after everything he did to me, I kept him around for you, so that you know him. that is why I tolerate the man's presence. For you and your son!" My heart sank, I blamed him and yet it was all for me. I never thought of it that way, but he did. He was always ten steps ahead and always thinking of ways to make things better forand my son. "I am sorry Marcus." He laughed.
"Do you really think I want to be friend with your ex, a man who did all that to you? you have a child with him Olivia, you can't just cut ties with him and think it will be the end of it. think about that the next tyou want to blme for things." Shit! Bloody fucking Nick Jones!
