Chapter 307 Not In A Position To Comment
Nathan furrowed his brows when he heard her words.
“Just come back before dinner tomorrow.”
Norah hung up immediately as soon as she said that, not giving Olivia any chance to refuse.
She had been used to taking charge all her life, making decisions for others without hesitation.
Olivia clenched her fists, feeling somewhat irritable.
If it wasn’t out of respect for her father, she had no desire to return to the Monroe residence, let alone meet Norah
Even before meeting her, she could already envision what her demeanor would be like the following evening.
Olivia let out a long sigh, suppressing the irritation that was bubbling within her. She turned around, only to lock eyes with Nathan.
But the very next moment, she casually looked away.
She had no intention of telling him.
Nathan faintly heard the content of her phone conversation and could guess who was on the other end of the line.
He pondered for a moment. His lips moved as if to say something, but then he thought better of it, feeling he wasn’t in a position to comment.
The discord she had with the Monroe family was largely due to the longstanding grievances between the Carter and Monroe families.
He let out a self–deprecating laugh. The Carter family, who had caused her conflict with the Monroe family, were right here. If he were to speak up, he feared it might just backfire:
Suddenly, the air fell into a silence as still as death.
No one said a word.
Olivia managed to compose herself, but she no longer had the heart to continue solving the puzzle with Liam. All she wanted was to retreat upstairs and spend some quiet time alone.
At that moment, Tony emerged from the kitchen. “Dinner’s ready.”
Upon hearing this, Liam immediately pulled Nathan to his feet. “Daddy, you should go and cat
“Do you want to eat a little more?” Nathan asked him, looking down.
Liam shook his head. “I’m not hungry. You can have all to yourself.”
Nathan passed by Olivia, then paused and turned his head to look at her. “How about you?”
“No thanks. Make yourself at home, Mr. Carter.” Olivia was rather indifferent,
After she finished speaking, she turned around and headed straight upstairs.
She wasn’t so indifferent when she was just helping Liam with the puzzle earlier.
This aloofness was like an invisible wall between him and her, visible yet untouchable.
This icy sense of alienation left him feeling somewhat suffocated.
Nathan’s eyes darkened. He felt as if they had returned to the time when she had just come back to the country.

“Oh Liam pouted, “Let’s go have dinner, then.”
Nathan glanced toward the second floor before being led to the dining room by Liam.
Tony had cooked pasta and served him a plate.
“Thank you,” Nathan said courteously
Tony merely gave a slight nod before walking away.
“Daddy, why don’t you give it a taste and see if it’s good?” Liam urged.
Finished
Nathan took a bite. Perhaps in the past, he might have found this plate of pasta quite delicious. However, now it tasted utterly bland to him.
Even the tip of his tongue felt somewhat dry,
However, faced with the eager look in Liam’s eyes, he still nodded and smiled. “It’s delicious.
Liam was relieved. “Mr. Valtorn’s skills are as good as Mommy’s”
“Really? Nathan merely similed, eating silently and not saying anything further.
After finishing the pasta, he spent some more time with Liam before finally getting up to leave.
Until he left, he never saw Olivia again.
In the study on the second floor, Olivia stood quietly by the window, watching as Nathan’s car drove off into the distance, her heart heavy.
