Chapter 33

Grandma Aurora and Leonard curved their lips into a satisfied grin at Caleb’s and Amelia's simultaneous reply.

Evelyn pressed her lips into a thin line, “And what's that attitude for? Why do you insist on not going with him?”

Caleb gave a casual shrug, “It should be obvious, Mom.” He replied.

Amelia bobbed her head in agreement, “We don't want to be laughed at.”

“Yes,” Caleb supported again, "If he drops us off, everyone at school will laugh at us. They already know everything about him.”

James listened, his face blushed with anger, but he calmed himself, knowing he was no longer the same person he used to be. A soft grin escaped his lips.

After they were done, Evelyn huffed heavily. “And does that change anything!? If you can't let him drive you both then Olivia is giving you both no damn fare!” She spoke with unwavering sureness.

Grandma Aurora narrowed her eyes dangerously at her. “Stop it, Evelyn!” She shouted, slamming her fist on the table. And Evelyn was taken abac

    Chapter 34 “So, tell me. Did Joshua discuss anything about the outcome of the dinner night he went with that…. What's her name again? Oh, Olivia. Did he tell you anything about her?” Arthur, Joshua's father, who seemed to be in his late fifties asked Claire, his wife. Claire took a deep sip of the hot tea and placed it down on the table. She licked her lips, her leg crossed on the other as she replied, shaking her head, “No, I didn't get to see him when he returned last night.” She continued, “He must be in his room resting, but I will ask him about how it went whenever he wakes up.” Arthur frowned slightly, “That boy keeps on getting stubborn every day. I don't really know what is wrong with him!” He bit his lips, looking nervous. “What he saw in that Olivia of a girl is what I really can't tell. Bunch set of trash! I've well-to-do friends whose daughters are extremely beautiful but Joshua is refusing to go after them!” “That's because he loves her!” Claire interjected, sp

Just got a call that something is wrong in the office.” Olivia replied, “we just need to be there!” “I'll go with you instead. You can't take him along with you!” Leonard stepped in, refusing that James should go with Olivia. “Please, Dad. This isn't the right time to start a fight or any argument. James has to come with me, just stay back!” Without waiting for any reply, she hurried to her room. Soon, she was back with another outfit slipped on. Her heart pondered with a loud noise, “Let's go,” she dashed outside immediately. James still wore a surprised expression. This was the first time in their marriage that Olivia was letting him follow her out. Could it be because it is something of a problem that's why she is letting him go with her, maybe to solve it? He was reluctant in his steps, however, he waved the thought off his mind. She's his wife!

    Chapter 36 As Olivia hurried away to speak with the people, James stopped the staff member who was just about to walk away. “Sorry, please excuse me. Have you actually checked on their complaints and you didn't find it to be true?” He asked, politely. The staff looked him from his head down to his toe with contempt at this tattered-looking young man who was standing in his front. However, she knew that it was James who brought her madam, Olivia, here. However, she thought it was Olivia's driver and he had no guts to touch her with his dirty hands! “What's wrong with you, young man!? What do you want!?” She asked rudely after she turned. Her face twisted into anger. James sighed and composed his demeanor despite her rude words, “I just asked a polite question and I don't think it demands a rude answer. Besides, you are clueless about who you're talking with.” “And who do you think you are if I may ask?” The staff member’s face contorted in slight fury. James shook his h

Is he normal! Did he take any alcoholic drink before following her to this place and she didn't know! She thought to herself.James stepped forward with confident strides. He avoided Olivia's gaze but met the customers’ gazes without flinching. “You all want a refund, isn't it?” James asked with unwavering certainty. The entire customer glared at him from head to toe with disgust at his outfit. Infuriated, thinking James was joking, one of the customers growled at him, “Young man, this is a very serious matter! And I want you to leave if you still love and value your life!”After speaking with anger, he turned to face Olivia but James stood in front, blocking his gaze to meet with Olivia's, “You have me to discuss with, leave her out of t

    Chapter 38 The man staggered backward, his body shivering heavily as he reached out to his phone from his pocket. Every other person watched with bewildered eyes, including Olivia, but she couldn't say a word. She thought James was just putting on an act! A shit-eating grin escaped from James' mouth after the man had brought out his phone. “I don't want to say it twice; kindly and quickly forward back the money to me right away!” James spoke to the man almost rudely. And the man's body stiffened as chills ran down his spine. He draggingly lifted his head and looked at James with eyes widened in shock. He was short of words! It was at this moment that someone in the crowd looked into the man's phone, and the figure he saw made his mouth fall open. “H—he sent $11,000 instead of $9,000,” he stuttered, cupping his mouth. Others hurriedly gathered to confirm. And yes, it was true! James did it on purpose to prove them all wrong that indeed, he was capable! “He had such a

    Chapter 39 Olivia quickly called out to the security guard who is in charge of the gatekeeping, “Do you see my husband?” The security guard raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Your husband? Sorry, Miss Olivia, did you come with your husband? Because I didn't see any well-dressed man here.” He replied. Olivia bit her lips, “Don't worry, just go back to your duty post.” And the security guard hurried away. She didn't want to describe James' appearance to the security guard as her husband. It would be so embarrassing to tell the security guard that James, who wasn't nicely dressed, was her husband! “Maybe he has gone home, but why didn't he wait for me?” She asked herself in surprise. “Or is it because I always treat him badly?” She felt bad within herself. “Hmm…I have to go home. He needs to explain where he got such a huge amount of money from!” Her curiosity took her into her car. Once settled in her car, she reversed out of the parking lot and drove out. Meanwhile, Jam

How can you be taking a pathetic man like him around! To do what exactly? Show him what he can't afford!” Both sales associates ridiculed their fellow sales associate, whose name was Sandra, just because she had offered to take James around. But Sandra didn't respond to them. Instead, she turned to James and said, “Please, don't listen to them, sir. That's how they behave. They are both sharp-tongued.” “It's clear, and they will lose their jobs today,” James muttered to himself, forcing a smile on his face. “Please, come with me, sir,” Sandra added, leading the way while James followed behind. The two sales associates shook their heads, letting out exasperated groans. “She's so unbelievable at times! Let's wait and see the outcome of it anyway!” They stood crossing their arms tightly over the

But her words were signs of humiliation, which he knew but chose not to react to.The staff member packaged the necklace into a nice nylon bag and after a brief hesitation, she faced James and said, “Are you sure you can really pay for th

    Olivia glanced at him, shaking her head, “Thanks but don't worry, I'm focused on my business. I don't want anything that will distract me.”James raised an eyebrow, half-smiling.Shaking his head, he replied, “It won't. You can take it as a part-time job and not a full-time one,” he suggested, persisting.Olivia let out a short sigh, “Alright, I may check it out.” Pleased, James' face lightened up with contentment. He was about to respond when his phone buzzed up for an incoming call interjecting him. Mr. Walsh.Olivia tried to catch a glimpse of the caller.Pressing the green button that indicated the answer button, James pulled the phone to his ear, “Hello, Mr. Walsh, I've forgotten about the promise, don't worry. Just meet me when it's been sold, okay?”He was too careful to let Olivia get a hint about what he was trying to say.“Alright, thank you, sir,” Walsh said, his voice laced with appreciation from the other end. The call ended. James sat up, shifting slightly in his seat

    Everyone gasped in shock as Mary confirmed with a shaky voice. Murmur arose from the guests.“You heard that, didn't you?” One person nudged the person next to him, his jaw dropping to the ground. “He didn't say much but he just transferred that huge amount of money without batting his eyelashes.The person nodded, clearly taken aback, “I can hear everything. No wonder it's being said that the rich ones don't show themselves; their doings will show them. Unlike the other who, after announcing with pride and many words, didn't do close to what he did.”As he said that, Joshua turned and gave him a very deadly gaze. Then he looked at Mary and shook his head, doubt laced in his voice, “T—that can't be possible,” his voice faltered and his eyes winked.“B—but it's true.” Mary's voice was still unsteady. She showed him the confirmation alert and Joshua staggered backward.Joshua looked at James with bewildered eyes, “H—how did you do it? Where did you get such money from?” His tone was a

    “How about that? Can you go in for it?” Joshua said to James, his voice mocking.James nodded softly with a soft chuckle but when he tried to speak, Olivia interjected, hitting her bag, already got enough of their drama. “Joshua, this should stop,” she said, frustrated. “This isn't what we came here for….”“But your husband brought this up, didn't he?” Mary interrupted, her tone sharp. Olivia heaved out an exasperated sigh, her breath shallow. She glanced at James, then to Mary, “It's fine; let's move on to other things and stop this challenge of a thing. Please.” “Alright, alright,” Joshua tilted his head, “I’m only heeding because of you. If not I would have humiliated this man so badly in front of everyone.” Mary nodded as well since Joshua had accepted, “Alright, let's go guys. The party is about to start.” Soon, everywhere became calm with soft music playing in the background. Everyone settled down on their seat, each table filled with different kinds of wine according to eac

    As James entered the hall, his foot stepping onto the glossy marble floor, his jaw dropped to the ground in astonishment. The hall was an extravagant room, feeling luxurious and grand. The high ceilings held a sparkling chandelier raining down lights and the walls were adorned with ornate rugs, priceless artwork exuding wealth. The velvet sofas and intricately carved wooden tables were plushly arranged in the hall. James' eyes darted to the huge windows draped with heavy, flowing curtains, then to the crystal vases filled with fresh scent flowers; he gasped audibly. Every detail felt rich and intentional. “This…..is called wealth,” James mumbled, impressed. Glancing around the hall filled with people trying to take their seats, James spotted Olivia with a lady, having a conversation and he walked towards them. Meanwhile, among the crowd, a lady dressed in a crop-topped shirt and a pair of pants revealing her soft and smooth thighs, embraced Olivia into a warm hug, smiling broadl

    Another said, barely above a whisper, “He's so handsome. Prince charming!” “His father must be a billionaire and he….the heir.” A third person joined in, her mouth dropped to the ground in awe. “If not for the bodyguards, I would have gone to take pictures with him and frame it but I'm afraid….I might get beaten up.” While all these were going on—the flirting words from the ladies, the respective waves from the guys, and also the steadied gazes from onlookers, Joshua just carried himself with pride without paying any attention to them. Meanwhile, at the entrance to the main hall where the birthday party was to take place, the security guard there blocked James' path after letting Olivia go in. A hint of irritation ran through his eyes as he let them trail over James reiteratively. He wasn't expecting to see someone like him in this place. So, he said, “Who are you and where are you going?” The security guard asked James with a frown, his arms crossed. With an eyebrow ar

    Meanwhile, Olivia arrived at Harris’ compound, Mary's place, with her old Nissan Versa. She drove further into the available space in the parking lot and came to a halt, carefully parking. As Olivia stepped out, her gaze fell on the cars already parked there and she gasped audibly, apprehending the force Mary's father's birthday party would carry. Beside her car were Mercedes AMG, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, etc. Hers was the only odd one out. Olivia's face blushed with a mix of shame and embarrassment but she tried to keep a composed demeanor as she saw more cars driving in. James then stepped out too, and a shocking shiver ran down his spine. “Wow, t—these are mind-blowing.” He admitted, his voice wavering. However, he tried not to stare much to avoid being embarrassed as he followed Olivia from behind. The compound was filled with people of caliber, all well-dressed. The men were dressed up; some were in gray suits with their luxury watches situated around their wrists,

    Grandma Aurora's eyes fell on him, screwing up into a mixture of disdain and tight frown, “Are you going out with him?” She asked, burning James with so much hatred. Olivia bit her lips, nervously and gave a slow nod, “Yes, Granny. My friend asked for it so I—” She tried to answer when Grandma Aurora interjected, displaying fury. “And you consented to it?” She asked, her voice sharp and filled with irritation. “How could you agree to it? Don't you know this is an attempt to mock our family—the Parkers?” Olivia just swallowed hard, listening to everything her grandmother was saying. Her head was slightly facing the ground in shame. Grandma Aurora continued, pointing at James with contempt, “Take a look at him, does he even look any good to follow you to such a significant event?” James just stood, crossing his arms as he listened but the words were having no negative effects on him. Instead, he was smiling lightly to himself, finding the words humorous. Leonard also wanted

    Olivia winked, “Why? Haven't I been looking beautiful before?” James quickly shook his head, indicating that was not what he meant. “Nah, I mean you look more different in the gown I bought for you. It just looks perfect on you.” Olivia's face twisted into a tight frown as she moved forward dramatically and shut him off. “No, go on…” she said, annoyed, “come on, go ahead and tell the whole world you bought a replica for me, and I accepted.” James' eyes flashed with confusion about how Olivia was just getting him all wrong, however, he didn't say a word. Olivia continued, a hint of disgust lacing in her voice, “You should be ashamed of yourself that guys of your age are getting their wives expensive things and here you are, making noise about gifting me a replica. And so you know…. I'm not putting this on after today. I only accepted it because I don't have any new clothes to put on.” Janes opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off again, this time before he could ut

    Evelyn hurriedly shook her head with a smile, “Not really, James. Come to check if you were back….and here you're…I think I have to give the both of you space to carry on…” She rushed out of the room, closing the door behind her before James or Olivia could even say a word. James and Olivia both looked at each other, confused about Evelyn's last word. To carry on with what exactly? Olivia raised her eyebrows with a slight frown, “This woman is so unbelievable at times.” She said under her breath. James shook his head and a small smile crept over his face, knowing Evelyn's intention for making such a comment. She was trying to get Olivia and him close to each other. Funny. He then held the towel wrapped around his waist about to pull it off to oil his boy…. At that same moment, after letting out a deep sigh, Olivia turned around only for her sharp gaze to land on James when he was on the verge of removing his towel. Her eyes flinched and she immediately covered her face w
