Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 16

A roar rang loudly in her ears—it was a voice she was very familiar with.

I was right…

Olivia lifted her head and saw her father—Henry Maxwell—whom she had not seen in seven years.

He looked much older than he was seven years ago, but he seemed to be in good spirits and still had a noble and dignified air around him. At that moment, he was glaring at Olivia with a furious look on his face—the dislike and disgust he held for her remained unchanged too.

Henry hurried over and helped Anna up, feeling sorry for her as he wiped away her tears. “Anna, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Anna leaned back in his arms weakly. “Dad, I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy… Don’t blame Olivia. I just wanted to bring her to meet you when I saw her, but she refused…”

Olivia was too tired to say another word. Thus, she got up from the ground with some difficulty.

On the other hand, Kate hurriedly came over with North in her arms.

North reached out his two short arms and wrapped them around her neck. Hugging her, he tenderly asked, “Mommy, does it hurt?”

Hugging him tightly to her, Olivia buried her face in his neck and shook her head lightly. She smiled, took a deep breath, and said, “Let’s go, North.”

“Stop right there, Olivia Maxwell!” Henry stopped them sternly. “You didn’t even calm down after coming back. Just how deep a grudge do you hold for you to try and kill your sister? Apologize to her!”

She stiffened for a moment, then abruptly spun around with an icy expression. “Apologize? For what reason should I apologize? She picked a fight with me by hurting my son first! She should be glad I didn’t kill her! Why should I apologize?!”
