Chapter 456: Camaradarie
Seb grinned, nodding as he plopped down onto the couch beside her. "Yep, you! And me too, of course. But you’re not allowed to jusge me!," he added with a playful wink, grabbing a handful of chips from the tray.
Olivia shook her head. It was his obsession with eating that had first pushed her to try new recipes and on the go snacks. His Seb’s love for snacks had left an impression on her; it was the way he savored each bite with such unabashed enthusiasm, as if every morsel held a world of flavor waiting to be discovered. Even until the time she sold off her cafe, some of his favourite snacks had been sold there but of course, he had never come to taste them.
"So, what are you watching?" Seb asked, breaking the silence as he reached for the remote.
Olivia glanced at the TV screen, pondering her options. "Hmm, I was thinking of starting a new series," she replied, her voice soft.
Seb nodded in understanding, his gaze lingering on her thoughtfully for a moment before he stood up again. Olivia felt a pang of disappointment at the thought of him leaving, but before she could voice her protest, Seb surprised her by gently lifting her ankles and extending the couch.
"Are you leaving?" she asked, her brow furrowing in confusion as she watched him rearrange the furniture.
Seb shook his head, a warm smile gracing his features. "Not at all. I just thought you might be more comfortable this way," he explained, as he settled the couch’s footrest and turned it into a bed so that she could sit with her legs extended comfortably.
"Ohh. This is nice." Olivia sighed as she wiggled her toes. She really did get tired when she had to sit with her feet down for long.
"This works?", Seb asked as he turned on the latest mystery series for her and she nodded. She loved mysteries.
However, as they delved into the first episode, Olivia found herself shifting uncomfortably as she tried to adjust the cushions. The backrest of the couch, with its curved design, wasn’t providing the support she needed. With each movement, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of discomfort, her lower back was already starting to protest and ache.
She grimaced. Why did no one warn her of such side effects of pregnancy. Darn it! She couldn’t even sit!
