Chapter 1321 Finding A Solution
Olivia did not expect Jade would approach Halma. In her recollection, she was
understanding. Back then, it was she who took him to treat Old Man Nolan's illness. At that
time, she did not have any airs of the wealthy, so how did she turn out so cold-hearted
when it came to Halma? Asking someone to leave is one thing, but asking for their
persuasion on behalf of them is pushing things.
"Does Nathan know?"
Halma raised her head and looked at her confusedly. "What?"
Olivia furrowed her brows and asked, "Does he know that his mother talked to you?"
Halma shook her head. "Don't know. If he does, he'll surely create a scene with his mother.
I don't want him to argue with his mother because of me again. Last time, they had a big
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfight because he ditched the blind date his mother had arranged for him. How can I have
the audacity to complain right after his mother warned me? Not to mention, we may not
even end up together. Even if we reluctantly date, I feel shameless to face his mother."
Olivia's brows remained furrowed because she knew that was the case. If it was someone
else, she might have treated it as a story to listen to, but sitting across from her was her
best friend, and she could not be indifferent no matter how hard she tried.
"What do you have to be ashamed of? She even dared to talk you out of the relationship,
so what's there for you to feel embarrassed about? She's deliberately sabotaging your
love life! Why should you care so much about her opinion?"
Halma seemed a little irritated and sighed helplessly. "Olivia, do you think Nathan and I
are incompatible? Otherwise, why would fate make us go through so many setbacks?"
Olivia stated, "Whose relationship is smooth sailing? Haven't Eugene and I experienced
enough? I was kicked out of my father's house and lived abroad for seven years. When I
returned to the country, he even tried to suppress and blacklist me in the company. There
was always Stefanie meddling between Jewel and Alex. Compared to Stefanie's fierce
opposition, Jade just wants to find a suitable marriage for the benefit of her family. At least
that can be understood, as the upper-class circles rely on alliances for support. Compared
to Stefanie, what Jade did was nothing. Whose love doesn't go through setbacks and
hardships? Only the love that has experienced setbacks and hardships can last longer. As
the saying goes, time reveals one's true intentions! You don't need to be anxious; just deal
with the matter at hand. Nathan hasn't said anything yet, but you're already retreating.
Look at how shallow your feelings are for him."
Halma glared at her. "How can you, a pampered wife, understand my feelings? What else
can I do but retreat? Push him against his mother till they fall out?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia did not care. "What's wrong with that? If he wanted to stabilize the family
relationship through a political marriage, he should have cut off contact with you. If he
wished to be with you, he should make it clear to his mother. This isn't something you
should worry about. Would Nathan know even if you cried so hard? Suffering alone doesn't
seem like your style!"
Halma glanced at her. "It's not that I wanna take everything upon myself, but I just don't
want his mother to think I stole her son and then believe I'm a woman who undermines
their mother-son relationship. It would escalate to questioning my character."
