The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 345

A Strong Maybe

~Liam~

As the time approached for our picnic on the mountain, Miles and Marvin had already gone ahead to help Noah and Sebastien with the preparations, leaving Oliver and me in our room. We were planning to catch up with them soon. I watched as Oliver meticulously tried on three different shirts, putting in a lot of effort to look good for Elaine. His fashion dilemma amused me, and he joined in on the laughter when he noticed me chuckling.

Out of the blue, Oliver asked, “What’s going on between you and Josephine? Did you guys have some kind of disagreement?” I was taken aback by the question.

“Not really; why do you ask?” I responded, trying to hide any unease in my tone.

“I’ve noticed that she usually keeps her distance now. She used to be friendly—giving a little hi or hello and laughing at our jokes. However, she’s been rather cold this week,” Oliver explained, expressing his observations.

I couldn’t hide the truth and told him, “She mentioned that we made fun of her two years ago at the mansion.”

Oliver’s eyes widened in surprise, “You mean she brought that up? That was in the past, and we certainly didn’t mean any harm by it. We were just casually talking.”

Realising that Oliver remembered the conversation too, I asked him, “So you do recall the conversation?”

“Yes,” He confirmed.

“ Elaine said she overheard us talking about her. But we never intended any harm by it. I think she might be taking it a bit too personally.”

His words made me feel awful. Whatever Josephine had overheard must have hurt her deeply, and she kept it to herself for so long. It became clear that her exterior toughness didn’t mean she was impervious to hurtful words. I regretted my actions and wished I had been more careful with my words back then.

After getting dressed, we made our way out to join the others. On my way, I happened to bump into Uncle Leo.
