Chapter 1762

"I won't divorce him even if he insists, and there’s nothing he can do about it!" Olivia said readily without hesitation.

Lily knew it was an angry yet sincere outburst and chuckled despite herself. She said, "I’m not telling you to really divorce him. still, you must agree if you fail to reason with him. Divorces take time, so it's not easy.

"It would be good if you could buy some time since I wish to find out if he’s truly under the influence of some drug."

"Lily, you must help me!"

Olivia held Lily’s hand and agitatedly said, "I’ve never asked you for anything, but you must help Edward and me! I don’t think he’s that kind of person, and the drugs must’ve influenced him. You have to help him!"

"Please rest assured that I will help him, but until I can find a solution, you must promise me to take good care of yourself. Don’t be too nervous when you deal with Edward. Just act as you used to."

Lily’s voice had a calming effect, and Olivia became less anxious.

"All right!"

Olivia nodded, then frowned as she moaned.

"What's the matter?" Lily asked nervously.

"Nothing!"

Olivia shook her head, let out a blissful yet resigned smile, and pointed at her tummy.

"The little rascal kicked me."

Lily relaxed, then reached out to feel the movement in Olivia’s belly.

She chuckled.

"It’s as active as Galen used to be."

"Yes!"

Olivia replied, "I remember when you carried Galen.He was so naughty that you correctly predicted he would be a boy.no.velebook Now you're carrying twins, so I suppose it’s even more challenging?"

"Well, my belly is bigger and heavier than before, but these two little fellows are quiet and not as naughty as a Russell. If not, I couldn’t run around to do my stuff."

Lily gently stroked her tummy while her eyes sparkled with maternal love.

The twins were very quiet and would only move occasionally. She might have become worried if anything had happened to them, but the fetal heart rate and movement were average during checkups.

They were just too lazy to move.

Olivia shared Lily’s joy for a while, but her smile faded.She said with worry and guilt, "Lily, I’m sorry!"

"Sorry for what?"

Lily was baffled.

"You’re pregnant like me, and with twins no less, yet I still ask you to run around to help me.I even wronged you before this.I..."

Olivia felt ashamed and shed tears despite herself.

Olivia recalled how she had treated Lily and the words she said.

‘I wish I could travel back in time to slap myself hard"Thinking so, Olivia lifted her hand to do it, but Lily stopped her.

"What are you doing?"

Lily feigned anger and said, "You didn't know the truth, and it was a misunderstanding! Besides, you didn’t do anything outrageous."

"But… what I said to you was mean."

Olivia frowned.
