Wife’s Re
Chapter 76 The Perpetual Pretense
Emma’s eyes darkened, but she pretended to be surprised. “Olivia is here too?”
Olivia was taken aback as she glanced at Nathan sarcastically,
How dare he issue such a warning to himself just now?
Finished
Nathan’s thin lip twitched and quivered, yet no words seemed to escape.
However, Emma was already there, standing elegantly by his side. She smiled and said, “What a coincidence, didn’t expect to run into you here…”
“What a coincidence.”
–
Olivia’s eyes held more mockery as she fixed a stern gaze on Nathan. “Mr. Carter,” she said firmly, “the words you spoke earlier were quite righteous. In that case, let me make it clear if you want to fool around with other women, I don’t mind. But don’t let my son witness it. Otherwise, I can also restrict your visitation rights.”
She abruptly pulled her hand away.
However, Nathan remained unmoved.
Olivia could feel the warmth of his hand.
Anger surged in Olivia, and she roared, “Let me go. I want to take Liam back.”
Nathan held firm, “Have you forgotten your promise to Liam?”
Olivia’s heart stirred with a pang of remorse.
She took a deep breath to compose herself, then suggested, “Let’s head back. Our friends must have been waiting for a while.”
Nathan gazed at her intently, gradually loosening his grip on her hand.
Emma watched them closely as a surge of jealousy broiled within her.
For five years, Nathan had kept his distance from her, never even coming close enough to hold her hand.
But now, right before her eyes, he was interacting intimately with Olivia.
Why was it always Olivia?!
Emma clenched her fists discreetly, her eyes darkening slightly, yet she maintained a smile and suggested, “Leaving already? How about taking the child to greet Mrs. Carter? Both our families are dining together tonight to discuss some matters…”
She hesitated momentarily, her gaze shy as she glanced at Nathan. “But if you’re in a hurry, I won’t insist!”
Olivia found it somewhat amusing.
This Emma remained as insincere as ever.

Chapter 76 The Perpetual Pretense
Although it might escape the notice of others, the smugness in her tone was unmistakable.
They were dining together and discussing matters.
Aside from the engagement, there shouldn’t be anything else…..
Olivia chuckled lightly, “No need, we’re not that close to warrant formalities. Besides, my friends are waiting, and I wouldn’t want to keep them waiting”
Olivia left with Liam in her arms.
Finished
Liam rested on his mommy’s shoulder. He bid farewell to Nathan while casting a wary glance at Emma.
She was Dad’s fiancée…
Was it true that he couldn’t have Dad anymore?!
Nathan’s gaze softened as he waved at Liam.
He watched as the mother and son disappeared into the distance.
Emma was reluctant to acknowledge it.
She saw a moment of tenderness in the man’s eyes.
She couldn’t tolerate this tenderness, whether directed towards that illegitimate child or Olivia.
Why?
After years of struggle, how could Olivia effortlessly achieve what she had longed for?
Emma concealed her resentment behind a gentle facade as she addressed Nathan, “Nate, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep Mrs. Carter waiting.”
Nathan’s expression abruptly darkened as he cast a cold glance at her. “Ms. Patel,” he remarked sharply, “please refrain from speaking out of turn without being asked for your opinion.”
Without waiting for Emma’s response, he turned and left.
