Chapter 473: The Truth(2)
"Why did you leave me Olivia?"
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat at the unexpected question, her mind scrambling to catch up with the sudden shift in their cozy moment.
Blinking in surprise, she shifted slightly to look into his eyes, searching for any hint of what could have brought this on. It was a question she never thought he’d ask, one that had been buried beneath his stubbornness to leave the past undisturbed. She could tell him of course but she was curious
"Where did that come from?" she finally managed to whisper. Before he could answer her or question her again, her stomach growled loudly, breaking the cozy atmosphere even further.
Forgetting everything about his question, he quickly stood up and went to work," I’ll go and heat up the food for you..."
Olivia opened her mouth to speak, but he simply cut her off," Just don’t say anything now! At present the most important thing is feeding you." Olivia looked up at the way Seb was avoiding her gaze and sighed. Slowly, she slid off the couch, and grabbed his shirt. There was no way she was going to let him avoid this anymore.
As he moved around in the kitchen, she walked to him, gently sliding her arms around his waist as she placed her chin on his shoulder," Sebbi, are you worried about the answer?"
She felt him stiffen and knew she’d nailed the truth. He’d mustered the courage to ask but wasn’t sure of the answer. She couldn’t blame anyone for this but herself. After all, she’d been so foolish the last time he’d asked her that question...
"You said it was because you didn’t love me. That I’d projected and almost forced my feeling on you. You’d reciprocated because you..."
Olivia closed her eyes," Don’t repeat me foolish words, Seb. Just don’t. I cannot tell you, how much I have blamed myself and regretted my words to you. I’ll tell you..."
But Seb stopped her,"Eat first Olivia. The truh has already waited for a long while, we’ll keep it on hold for now. We need to celebrate your future venture." Slowly, he turned around in the circle of her arms and caressed her face. " Lets go and eat first. I can’t have the babies blaming their daddy for keeping them hungry."
