Chapter 477: Please don’t
"I shouldn’t have told you everything!" Seb grumbled under his breath his frustration evident as he watched Olivia meticulously preparing for her upcoming meeting with Vivienne. At least then he wouldn’t have worried about her being in danger. Why did he have to open his big mouth?
Olivia paused and looked at him in the mirror, gently applying a layer of foundation as she said," Its better that I meet her now, Seb. At least my pregnancy isn’t showing too much. If like you said, she really is possessive of me, then chances are that she would not take the impending arrival of our babies too kindly or happily.
"But for now, she thinks that you are not around..." Seb sighed, running his hand through his hair, though he was tempted to pull them out of sheer frustration.
"And she’ll keep looking until she has seen me. So isn’t it better to just handle this now?"
"But what if it’s too risky? What if she tries something? Olivia, this is a crucial time to take a risk..."
"That’s precisely why I need to handle this now," Olivia insisted, her voice firm but tinged with concern. "I can’t keep hiding forever, and if there’s a potential threat, I need to face it head-on before I am further along and more vulnerable. And you are sending your security team with me, aren’t you?"
Seb nodded but his mind was occupied with worry. The problem was he didn’t know how far Vivienne could go. While she’d pulled off those shenanigans when they were young, she had never resorted to physical violence. But her admission that she’d been the one responsible for Emma’s accident chilled him.
Olivia looked at his face and the deep worried frown and sighed. Finishing the application of her mascara, she stood up and walked to him, hugging him gently,"I’ll be really careful Sebby. There is no way I would endanger myself or our babies. I am pretty sure of her motives. And once she has assured herself that you and I are not together, she will step back. How is Miss Emma doing? Are you going to go see her today?"
Seb nodded. "Yes, I’ll go in the evening. The swelling in her brain has come down so according to the doctors, she could wake up any time now. Once she is awake, I’ll discuss the other plan with her."
