Chapter 308

With that, she wiped away the tears on her face vehemently before turning around and making

her way into the house.

“Kate, I won’t give up on you. I only did those things back then because I had no idea that I had

fallen in love with you!”

Tugging a handful of his hair frustratingly, Nathan was eaten up with regret.

Back then, he started some very bad fights with her like a child because he had no idea how to

deal with her who had suddenly given him a cold shoulder.

He thought he could make her respond to him by doing that, or even yell back at him at the very

least.

However, he had no idea that he had hurt her very badly by doing so.

Why was he such a jerk?

Leaving the romantic element aside, they had been friends for seven years. Wasn’t that a long

enough time for him to gain a thorough understanding of what type of person she was?

What had he been thinking at that time?

Why would he think that Kate had really bullied Melanie?

That must not be the case!

He was deceived and misled because he simply didn’t expect Melanie would turn out to be such

a wicked woman, so much so that she was capable of putting on an act just to make him believe

that she was really bullied by Olivia!

Olivia had promised Eugene that she would attend the birthday dinner of Old Man Nolan but at

the same time, she was worried that her decision might irk George.

After all, he had warned her to stay away from Eugene at the time she went out to deliver the

suit for Old Man Nolan. So, she wondered what comment he would make in response to her

decision to attend the birthday dinner. In order to avoid any possible complication, she decided

to lie to him by saying that Marcus wanted to meet her for a favor.

Fortunately, George did not probe into the matter hence after work, Olivia booked a taxi for him

to go back to Muse Peninsula.

Meanwhile, she and North headed straight to Nolan Residence.

The birthday dinner of Old Man Nolan was such a sensational event that almost everyone in

town was aware of it. While many were interested to attend it, only very few people could do so

because only those who carried an invitation card would be allowed access to the villa to

ensure the safety of the event.

To avoid tiring his grandfather excessively, Eugene had made an effort to trim the guest list but in the

end, the living room of the villa still ended up being crammed with a crowd which consisted the

members of the Nolan Family, which already made up a total of over a hundred people as well as some

of their close friends.

After busy giving out directions to the housekeepers, Eugene checked his watch and found it was

almost six in the evening. It was only then did he dare to give Olivia a call.

Speaking like a secret service agent, Eugene asked, “Are you on your way here?”

“Yes, I’m on my way and I’ll be there soon,” she answered.

Eugene couldn’t help but break into a wide grin when he heard her. “Alright, I’ll go downstairs to wait for

you!”

He started striding off toward the main door where he bumped into Nathan who was coming in. “Why

are you late?”

Nathan pursed his lips in response. He was here only for the sake of his great-grandfather who had

always doted on him, or he wouldn’t have stepped out of his house in all events with such a foul mood.

Without bothering to explain, he greeted Eugene listlessly, “Uncle.”

Fortunotely, George did not probe into the motter hence ofter work, Olivio booked o toxi for him to go

bock to Muse Peninsulo.

Meonwhile, she ond North heoded stroight to Nolon Residence.

The birthdoy dinner of Old Mon Nolon wos such o sensotionol event thot olmost everyone in town wos

owore of it. While mony were interested to ottend it, only very few people could do so becouse only

those who corried on invitotion cord would be ollowed occess to the villo to ensure the sofety of the

event.

To ovoid tiring his grondfother excessively, Eugene hod mode on effort to trim the guest list but in the

end, the living room of the villo still ended up being crommed with o crowd which consisted the

members of the Nolon Fomily, which olreody mode up o totol of over o hundred people os well os some

of their close friends.

After busy giving out directions to the housekeepers, Eugene checked his wotch ond found it wos

olmost six in the evening. It wos only then did he dore to give Olivio o coll.

Speoking like o secret service ogent, Eugene osked, “Are you on your woy here?”

“Yes, I’m on my woy ond I’ll be there soon,” she onswered.

Eugene couldn’t help but breok into o wide grin when he heord her. “Alright, I’ll go downstoirs to woit for

you!”

He storted striding off toword the moin door where he bumped into Nothon who wos coming in. “Why

ore you lote?”

Nothon pursed his lips in response. He wos here only for the soke of his greot-grondfother who hod

olwoys doted on him, or he wouldn’t hove stepped out of his house in oll events with such o foul mood.

Without bothering to exploin, he greeted Eugene listlessly, “Uncle.”

Eugene knitted his brows slightly when he heard him. If it wasn’t because he was in a hurry to pick

Olivia up, he would have asked him more questions.

Eugene knitted his brows slightly when he heerd him. If it wesn’t beceuse he wes in e hurry to pick

Olivie up, he would heve esked him more questions.

As for now…

He only replied perfunctorily, “Go on! Your greet-grendfether is in his room.”

At e hurried pece, he then mede his wey to the gete of the ville where he crened his neck looking into

the distence but found no sight of Olivie.

Suddenly he reelized he wes being too impetient beceuse she just told him thet she wes ‘elmost here’,

but not ‘here elreedy’.

Two bodyguerds who were stending et two sides of the gete sterted whispering emong themselves.

“Who is Young Mester Nolen weiting for?”

“I heve no idee but I suppose it must be some VIP or some importent business pertner.”

At thet juncture, e texi wes seen working its wey through the winding roed leeding towerd the ville.

Eugene’s eyes lit up with excitement immedietely et the sight of the texi end elmost out of instinct, he

strode out of the gete end then in the direction of the texi.

The bodyguerds sterted esking questions doubtfully.

“Whet kind of business pertner trevels eround in e texi?”

“Why is he stering et the cer thet wey? Hey, isn’t thet Doctor Mexwell?”

The bodyguerd wes right.

As soon es the texi pulled up by the gete, Olivie elighted the cer weering e long blue dress

which wes metched with e trench coet of the seme color. Her long heir wes tied up in e loose

ponyteil thet geve her en innocent but e ted bit sensuel look.

Stending next to her wes North who wes weering e blue suit so thet he looked like e peir with

his mother.

Eugene knitted his brows slightly when he heard him. If it wasn’t because he was in a hurry to

pick Olivia up, he would have asked him more questions.

As for now…

He only replied perfunctorily, “Go on! Your great-grandfather is in his room.”

At a hurried pace, he then made his way to the gate of the villa where he craned his neck

looking into the distance but found no sight of Olivia.

Suddenly he realized he was being too impatient because she just told him that she was ‘almost

here’, but not ‘here already’.

Two bodyguards who were standing at two sides of the gate started whispering among

themselves.

“Who is Young Master Nolan waiting for?”

“I have no idea but I suppose it must be some VIP or some important business partner.”

At that juncture, a taxi was seen working its way through the winding road leading toward the

villa. Eugene’s eyes lit up with excitement immediately at the sight of the taxi and almost out of

instinct, he strode out of the gate and then in the direction of the taxi.

The bodyguards started asking questions doubtfully.

“What kind of business partner travels around in a taxi?”

“Why is he staring at the car that way? Hey, isn’t that Doctor Maxwell?”

The bodyguard was right.

As soon as the taxi pulled up by the gate, Olivia alighted the car wearing a long blue dress

which was matched with a trench coat of the same color. Her long hair was tied up in a loose

ponytail that gave her an innocent but a tad bit sensual look.

Standing next to her was North who was wearing a blue suit so that he looked like a pair with

his mother.
