Chapter 224

OLIVIA

My dad called this moming to inform me that the doctors had approved the baby for travel. I was relieved that everything had gone well, until he mentioned that Nick would be returning with him. The news didn’t sit well with me, but then he explained that Nick wasn’t coming for me; he was coming for his son, Samuel.

As much as I didn’t want Nick anywhere near ine, I couldn’t deny that he was still Samuel’s father. I couldn’t keep my son from his father any longer. Nick had the right to be with his son, especially now that he seemed to have come to his senses and wasn’t threatening me for no reason anymore.

However, our conversation was overheard by none other than Xander, who Ethan had been keeping a close eye on. Ethan made it clear that he wasn’t going to let Xander take Marcus’s place. What he didn’t know, though, was that I had no intention of being with anyone other than my husband.

I might have left him after everything that happened, but that didn’t mean I didn’t want to go back to him. He was still my husband, and I still loved him. We were going to work on our marriage and fix things, but I needed time to come to terms with everything that had happened.

Besides, after everything I’d been through these past few months, I needed a break from it all, including my husband.

“Are you telling me you have another child? A newborn? Why the hell did you leave her behind?” Xander asked, his voice full of disbelief.

I wanted to laugh, really. He had no idea what the situation was, but he wasn’t having it. “It’s a long story. All I can tell you is that I had to leave, and the baby had to stay. But she’s coming to me now.”

He frowned, still thinking Ethan was my husband, judging by how overprotective he was. I didn’t correct him.
