Chapter 165 Ambiguity
Nathan lifted his gaze toward Olivia, noting her silence and bowed head. His sharp eyebrows knit together slightly, a sign that he sensed something amiss with her mood.
Yet, he chose not to question her. Instead, he offered her a meaningful look before shifting his full attention. to Liam.
Throughout their meal, the air was filled with Liam’s youthful, exuberant chatter. Nathan occasionally engaged, responding to the little one’s tales and questions, while Olivia remained silent, not uttering a single word..
After the meal concluded, Olivia might have expected Nathan to make his departure.
But, to her surprise, Liam caught Nathan’s hand, looked up at him with eyes gleaming with hope and anticipation, and asked, “Daddy, can you help me with my homework?”
Olivia’s brows furrowed in concern at the request. Considering Liam’s intelligence, she pondered the necessity of such assistance.
It became evident to her that Liam’s request was less about the need for help and more about his desire for his father’s time and presence.
Nathan glanced at Olivia, seemingly waiting for her intervention, but when she remained silent, he acquiesced with a nod, “All right, I’ll teach you.”
Liam’s gratitude was palpable, his face lighting up with a joyous smile. “Thanks, Daddy.”
Overjoyed, he quickly ushered Nathan to the living room, where he proudly displayed the textbooks for his -studies.
Nathan was surprised at the level of the material. Third grade in elementary school?
Despite Liam’s young age, he was already tackling material meant for older students.
As Nathan engaged in the teaching process, he discovered Liam’s quick wit and strong comprehension skills. A subtle sense of pride filled him, acknowledging the brilliance of his son.
Olivia, in the meantime, prepared some fruit and brought it over, noting Liam’s increased diligence.
Torn between pleasure and annoyance, she suggested, “Take a break, and have some fruit first.”
Just as she placed the fruit plate on the coffee table, Benjamin arrived, his presence instantly bringing tension to the air.
Upon laying eyes on Nathan, Benjamin’s brows furrowed deeply.
Why is this guy here?
Nathan, too, looked at him.
The two men locked gazes, a silent battle of wills unfolding between them.
After a brief standoff, Nathan’s eyes narrowed, sensing an unsettling vibe from Benjamin.
“Actually, there’s a glitch in the system that might need your expertise, Olivia,” Benjamin explained.
Olivia nodded in understanding, “Okay.”
With that, the two of them retreated to the study upstairs.
Finished
Even aware of their professional dynamic, Nathan couldn’t shake off the discomfort that settled in. His mood soured, and he found himself unable to concentrate on mentoring Liam, his attention drifting upstairs.
What he hadn’t anticipated was Olivia and Benjamin remaining secluded in the study for over an hour, seemingly forgetting about the world outside.
Feeling sidelined, Nathan turned his attention to Liam, who was diligently solving his problems. “Liam, would you like to show me around the house?” he proposed, a shimmer of hope in his voice.
Liam eagerly nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Nathan ruffled his hair affectionately, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “You’re such a good boy.”
Together, they toured the lower floor of the house, eventually making their way upstairs, stopping outside the study.
“Daddy, this is where Mommy works,” Liam whispered, cautious not to disturb the ongoing work.
As they neared the slightly open door, Nathan caught a glimpse of Olivia and Benjamin.
Olivia sat behind the office table, her gaze trained on the computer before her. Meanwhile, Benjamin stood beside her, leaning down to look at the computer.
Their proximity and the ambiguous nature of their interaction sparked a flicker of displeasure in Nathan’s
eyes.
With a raised hand, he knocked on the door.
