Chapter 162 Chapter 162 NICK My heart swelled seeing Samuel back safe. I was worried especially when that man threatened to do harm to him. I was worried sick, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Like if something were to happen to the boy, it would affectmore than it should. As he was not my son. But there was something about him.
Something I couldn't place my finger on, I had a connection to the boy, I couldn't explain. If he were born at hwithand Olivia, then I would say it was because of that, but he was born in prison, and he had a close relationship with Ethan and not me. But why did I feel the way I felt about him? maybe it was because he was part of Olivia, and I loved her.
When she cinto the house with him, I followed. I don't know why but I followed and got into bed with them. Olivia on the one side and I on the other. Samuel in the middle. I thought she was going to chaseaway or Marcus would say something. But to my surprise, none of them said a thing.
Marcus only peeked at the door before leaving us there. Maybe he was still guilty about what happened earlier. I felt bad for a moment but then I didn't care, I loved the boy, and I was happy he was back alive and well. Marcus and Olivia can fix their shit later, I was just glad they letstay by his side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI didn't know when I fell asleep, but I woke up to him pocking my cheeks. I slowly opened my eyes so as to not scare him. I found his big blue eyes staring at me. “Hello." I whispered; he giggled then jumped off the bed. Mama, he is awake!" I sat up to see where Olivia was.
She was on the floor with a blanket laid out and toys. Which toldthat she was playing with Samuel when he decided to wakeup by poking me. "Oh, you woke him up." She covered her mouth pretending to be shocked. Samuel giggled and ran to her burying his face on her chest. "Hide me, mama so he doesn't see." Olivia laughed covering his head with her one hand and holding him with the other. My heart warmed and I found myself smiling. After a long tafter we broke up, I smiled. A genuine smile and it was all because of the two of them. they held a special place in my heart.
"How long did I sleep for?" I asked now getting up from bed. I didn't want it to seem like I was doing this on purpose and trying to get between her and Marcus. "Three hours, I woke up not so long ago as well. Father cooked if you are hungry." My stomach growled. And I chuckled embarrassed.
"Am glad you didn't hear mine. It was like a wounded animal was trapped in there." We laughed. "Oh, I know exactly how that sounds." We laughed smore. I never thought we would get to a place where we would be able to be like this and laugh together.
"Did you eat?" she nodded. "Yes, we ate." I nodded getting up and going to the door. Before I opened, I turned to look at them. "Did he eat as well?" she shook her head. "He didn't want to." I walked back to them and crotched in front of them.
"Hey little man, you still don't want to eat? I can make you anything you want." He looked like he was thinking." Pancakes!" he said excitedly. His mother and I laughed. “He deserves them after...everything." She nodded getting up.
I took Samuel from her, and we walked out. Luke and Marcus were sitting in the lounge talking. Olivia, Samuel and I went to the kitchen. I checked for the ingredients then started making the pancakes as I ate on the side as well.
Samuel was talking the whole tand eating strawberries. I was laughing and smiling the whole twe were together. We felt like we were a family, and I didn't want it to stop. My heart ached when I thought of how they would leave, and I would be alone again.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia, don't you know that my heart beats perfectly when you are around, when we laugh and play with our son like this? He is not mine; I know but for now, in this moment, he is mine. "Am alright, I just thought of something." She still looked worried making my heart swell.
We heard someone clearing their throat and we turned to look. it was Marcus, Olivia moved away fromas she was so close. "I just want beer from the fridge." I was standing by the fridge so; I took the beer out and handed it to him.
He took it and thankedthen left without saying a word. Damnit! It madefeel guilty, Olivia was his wife, I wasdaughing and playing En. house with his family. It madefeel guilty, why did he have to be the level headed one? If he was not, I wouldn't be guilty, but he was. "I will leave you two." I told Olivia. And walked out of the kitchen to go join them in the lounge, Luke gavea nod when I cin with a smile on his face. What the hell was he up to? "So, how was it?" I furrowed my eyebrows not sure what he was talking about.
"Spending twith Samuel without Ethan always taking the spotlight." Oh, "It was good, thanks.” He nodded. I glance at Marcus, but the man only focused on his beer. "Marcus wanted them to stay for a week. To see his hand everything. We are heading back tomorrow." My heart ached. I didn't want to leave, not without them. "I am going home; I can't stay a minute longer in this place." Olivia said coming in with Samuel following behind. Marcus looked at her and I could see the pain in his eyes. He was starting to be me.
"Can I have a word?" he frowned but got up anyway. We went outside.
"What is it?" he looked irritated, "Don't be me, Marcus. Olivia loves you and she chose to marry you. don't spoil that by acting like me. you are married now, and your priority should be her. don't put others before her or you will lose her just like I did." +25 BONUS Chapter 163
