Chapter 1322 Finding A Solution
Olivia did not expect Jade would approach Halma. In her recollection, she was understanding. Back then, it was she who took him to treat Old Man Nolan’s illness. At that time, she did not have any airs of the wealthy, so how did she turn out so cold-hearted when it came to Halma? Asking someone to leave is one thing, but asking for their persuasion on behalf of them is pushing things.
“Does Nathan know?”
Halma raised her head and looked at her confusedly. “What?”
Olivia furrowed her brows and asked, “Does he know that his mother talked to you?”
Halma shook her head. “Don’t know. If he does, he’ll surely create a scene with his mother. I don’t want him to argue with his mother because of me again. Last time, they had a big fight because he ditched the blind date his mother had arranged for him. How can I have the audacity to complain right after his mother warned me? Not to mention, we may not even end up together. Even if we reluctantly date, I feel shameless to face his mother.”
Olivia’s brows remained furrowed because she knew that was the case. If it was someone else, she might have treated it as a story to listen to, but sitting across from her was her best friend, and she could not be indifferent no matter how hard she tried.
“What do you have to be ashamed of? She even dared to talk you out of the relationship, so what’s there for you to feel embarrassed about? She’s deliberately sabotaging your love life! Why should you care so much about her opinion?”
Halma seemed a little irritated and sighed helplessly. “Olivia, do you think Nathan and I are incompatible? Otherwise, why would fate make us go through so many setbacks?”
Olivia stated, “Whose relationship is smooth sailing? Haven’t Eugene and I experienced enough? I was kicked out of my father’s house and lived abroad for seven years. When I returned to the country, he even tried to suppress and blacklist me in the company. There was always Stefanie meddling between Jewel and Alex. Compared to Stefanie’s fierce opposition, Jade just wants to find a suitable marriage for the benefit of her family. At least that can be understood, as the upper-class circles rely on alliances for support. Compared to Stefanie, what Jade did was nothing. Whose love doesn’t go through setbacks and hardships? Only the love that has experienced setbacks and hardships can last longer. As the saying goes, time reveals one’s true intentions! You don’t need to be anxious; just deal with the matter at hand. Nathan hasn’t said anything yet, but you’re already retreating. Look at how shallow your feelings are for him.”
Halma glared at her. “How can you, a pampered wife, understand my feelings? What else can I do but retreat? Push him against his mother till they fall out?”
Olivia did not care. “What’s wrong with that? If he wanted to stabilize the family relationship through a political marriage, he should have cut off contact with you. If he wished to be with you, he should make it clear to his mother. This isn’t something you should worry about. Would Nathan know even if you cried so hard? Suffering alone doesn’t seem like your style!”
Halma glanced at her. “It’s not that I wanna take everything upon myself, but I just don’t want his mother to think I stole her son and then believe I’m a woman who undermines their mother-son relationship. It would escalate to questioning my character.”
Olivia refuted, “Didn’t his mother ask you to persuade him to marry someone else? Why don’t you do exactly that? That would be fair.”
Halma was speechless and understood instantly!This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
