The moment Olivia locked eyes with Noelle, she found herself struck mute.
“Ms. Garnet?” Noelle called her again.
Olivia finally snapped out of it, her gaze lifting to meet Noelle’s. After a moment, she said, “I’m here because of Mr. Freeman.”
Noelle remained silent.
Olivia took a deep breath and said, “I know you’re married to him, and I also know what I’m doing isn’t right. But I’m really out of options. I don’t know what else I can do, so I had no choice but to come to you. I’m sorry, Mrs. Freeman, but could you let me have Mr. Freeman?“.
She lowered her head once she had finished speaking. She was trembling slightly, and even her eyelashes were quivering as tears began to fall from her eyes.
Noelle simply stood there, looking at her. “Are you pregnant?”
“No!” The question seemed to catch Olivia off guard, and she shook her head vigorously. “We’ve only been together for half a month, so how could I be pregnant?”
Noelle didn’t respond.
“But we are really together. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the photo…”
As she spoke, Olivia pulled out her phone.
Soon, Noelle saw the picture–it was a selfie of Olivia and Hendrix. Just one glance, and she felt her entire being turn cold.
She slowly turned back to look at Olivia. “Since you know we’re married and that I’m pregnant, how can you me to—”
ask
“Because I know you wouldn’t tolerate an unfaithful husband,” Olivia interjected. “I saw you during your prenatal checkup. You and Mr. Freeman weren’t on good terms back then, were you?
“I don’t know what happened between you two at the time, but even when he treated you so well, you refused to give in. So, there’s no way you would forgive him for cheating on you.”
Noelle fell silent.
“I’m actually doing this for your sake. I don’t want you to be kept in the dark,” Olivia added.
Noelle smiled bitterly. “Oh, so I should thank you, is that it?”
“I–I didn’t mean it like that. I just—
“Alright. You’ve said what you wanted to say. Is there anything else?”
Olivia shook her head slowly.
“Then, you should go. I’ll take care of what goes on between us. But I suggest you go to Hendrix directly if you’re looking for a title.”
With that, Noelle closed the door without bothering to wait for Olivia’s response. Once the door was shut, she simply stood there, staring at it in a daze.
It wasn’t until her phone buzzed repeatedly that she snapped out of it.

She pulled out her phone. It was a message from her ceramics instructor, asking what time she would be there. Noelle wanted to reply, but her fingers refused to cooperate. They simply stayed hovering above the phone.
It was as if she had forgotten how to move. Every part of her body, along with the blood running inside her veins, was ice–cold.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally regained her composure.
She called her instructor first.
“I’m sorry, but something came up. So I won’t be able to make it today.”
“That’s alright. When would you be free, then? I’ll reschedule your class for you.”
“I won’t be able to go for the foreseeable future. Let’s leave it at that.”
After hanging up, Noelle slowly turned to face the stairs.
