Chapter 306 Honor Her Deceased Father
Their fingertips brushed against each other unintentionally. The contact sent a jolt through Olivia, causing her to instantly withdraw her hand.
Nathan paused for a moment, a slight frown creasing his brow as he looked at her.
She appeared somewhat uneasy, her gaze flitting about, avoiding his.
A barely perceptible emotion flickered across his eyes.
Liam didn’t notice anything amiss between the two adults. He praised enthusiastically, “Daddy, you’re so awesome.”
Then, he pointed to a spot and asked, “Daddy, where should this go?”
Nathan withdrew his gaze, lowering his head to seriously examine the unfinished puzzle before him. He quickly placed several more pieces.
Wow, Daddy, you’re really amazing,” Liam said, looking up at him with admiration.
He turned around and then said to Olivia with a mix of excitement and joy, “Mommy, look how skilled Daddy is. He placed. several pieces in no time.”
Olivia gave a slight smile, merely hummed in agreement, and didn’t say much else
This kind of puzzle is probably child’s play for him. Of course, he can solve it quickly.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
“You guy’s carry on. I need to take a call.
She quickly grabbed her phone and moved aside.
Nathan turned his head and noticed that she had picked up the phone.
Olivia had wanted to ignore the call upon seeing an unfamiliar number, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided to
answer it.
“Hello, I’m Olivia. May I know who’s on the line?”
“Olivia, it’s me, Grandina.”
The voice, filled with the weight of many tough years, echoed in Olivia’s cars, causing her to instinctively tighten her grip on the phone. Her face darkened somewhat, and her tone grew colder as she asked, “What can I do for you?”
Frederick had just come to see her, and now Norah was on the phone. She knew it certainly wasn’t because they knew she was back and wanted to check on her.
“I heard you’ve returned, so I quickly gave you a call. You’ve been out of touch for five years. I’ve been worried sick.”
Although Norah said that, there wasn’t a hint of worry detectable in her words.
Of course, Olivia didn’t actually believe Norah was worried about her. After all, she was well aware of how much Norah disliked her.
A hint of sarcasm tugged at the corners of Olivia’s mouth. The people of the Monroe family were truly hypocritical
Norah continued. “You really are something, you know. You’re back in the country and you didn’t even give me a call. Do you find me bothersome?”
“Nacar all Granddons: I’ve just returned and have hien hussar any it slinned mur mind” Olivis equally ave an evenue

“So you’ve been busy, huh? I thought you were still upset with us.”
Even through the phone, Olivia could detect the sarcasm in Norah’s voice
She couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing
Even though they were the ones who had heartlessly sent her away, they made it sound as though it was all her fault
“I’m not,” she responded nonchalantly.
For her, whether it was blaming or resenting the Monroe family, she felt it was a waste of time.
Finished
“Make some time to come back for a meal if you can,” Norah said. “It’s been many years since we last met, and I haven’t seen you showing any concern for me. I’m afraid you might only return after I’m dead.”
Truth be told, Olivia could more or less guess the purpose of her sudden phone call
After all, Norah didn’t have her on her mind either.
However, Noral was her elder. Regardless of the circumstances, she thought she should honor her deceased father by showing respect to her.
And so, she said, “I’ll
Il find some time to go back.”
