Christopher looked at Noah’s disheveled appearance and curled the corner of his l*ps.

Noah captured his change in expression.

He thought, ‘Oh, well. It seems he’s here to vent his bad mood.

Before Noah could catch his breath, Christopher urged him to do it again.

Exhausted, Noah dropped to the floor and said, “Chris, care to explain why you suddenly developed such a keen interest in sports?”

When Noah asked this question, he decided to do as Christopher wanted and to bear with this situation. However, he needed to know why the latter was doing this.

At that moment, Christopher was beaming. I’m participating in a parent-child sports. event at the kindergarten tomorrow. Just thought of using you as my warm-up.”

Noah thought, ‘What? So, I’m your training partner for a parent-child sports event?”

He was taken aback as the answer was indeed shocking, but it was only natural.

Given Christopher’s current priorities regarding Kimberly and the three little ones, nothing else seemed as important.

Still struggling to keep up, Noah pleaded, “Go easy on me. Your skills are beyond the level of a parent-child sports event, and even in a match against professional athletes, you’d leave no survivors.”

He attempted flattery, but Christopher was not swayed.

Eventually, he agreed to one final round.

By the end, Noah felt like his limbs were falling apart. At the same time, he reminisced the countless times he got worn out because of Christopher.

Little did he know even after his retirement, he couldn’t escape Christopher’s clutches.

Christopher smiled a playful grin as he looked at Noah. He was full of anticipation and confidence for the upcoming parent-child sports event.

Meanwhile, Olivia was in a dilemma despite agreeing to be Vincent’s girlfriend.

She knew that Jaxon was Thomas’ illegitimate child, making Jaxon Vincent’s half- brother.

Things would become complicated if one day Jaxon returned to the Sullivan family and if she got married to Vincent.

She pondered whether to disclose her past with Jaxon to Vincent or tell Vincent about Jaxon’s true identity.

The more she cared about someone, the more she hesitated.

This issue had been weighing heavily on her mind, keeping her awake at night, especially with Vincent’s suggestion to bring her back to the Sullivan family and introduce her to his family, adding to the pressure.

In the end, she decided to seek advice from Kimberly.

After Kimberly heard Olivia’s story, she empathized with her.

She had witnessed Olivia’s emotional journey, including Jaxon’s persistent pursuit after their reunion.

After some contemplation, Kimberly earnestly advised, “I believe trust is crucial in any relationship.”

Then, she asked Olivia to replace the right moment to have an open and honest conversation with Vincent.

This issue had already caused significant distress in Olivia’s life.

Hence, it was best to resolve it quickly.

Moreover, if Olivia refused to address the issue now, Vincent would react strongly if he found out later.

There was no need to feel conflicted now that they realized this was a secret that could be revealed at any time.

Kimberly knew Vincent and saw how he treated Olivia.

She believed if Olivia were open and honest with Vincent, he would come to terms with

it.

Also, the adverse effects should be minimal.

Olivia appreciated Kimberly’s patient guidance and analysis and felt the urgency to relieve herself of this emotional burden.

Vincent was in a somber mood these two days.

Olivia invited him to lunch, and he appeared unusually serious. She sensed something. was amiss. Usually, Vincent was lively and carefree, but today, he seemed more contemplative.

She wasn’t sure if she was overthinking.

Vincent didn’t talk much today, as if something had been weighing his mind.

He was busy eating and neglected to attend to his girlfriend during their meal.

However, Olivia wasn’t bothered.

Instead, she gathered her courage and took a few sips of alcohol.

As if the alcohol would grant her courage, Olivia sipped quickly. Since she wasn’t a frequent drinker, she ended up coughing violently due to the sp icy smell of alcohol, causing Vincent to take notice.

“Why are you drinking so hastily?” Vincent said and handed over a tissue,

Olivia took the tissue, raised her eyes, and locked eyes with Vincent. “I have something important to tell you.”

Upon hearing this, Vincent visibly froze.

He wondered, ‘Why are there so many significant matters bombarding me lately?”

Vincent didn’t say anything but kept his gaze on Olivia.

A sense of worry crept in. He feared she might be about to break up with him.

Besides that, he couldn’t imagine what else Olivia had to share that was so crucial.

The silence lasted for a while.

Then, Olivia plucked up her courage and came clean about her past with Jaxon, including his background.

It was a challenging moment. She had a hard time explaining while he listened, torn between agony and torment.

Vincent had already learned about Jaxon’s background a couple of days ago.

However, hearing Olivia say Jaxon was her first love felt like rubbing salt into the wounds.

When Vincent heard this, he gripped Olivia’s shoulders tightly, causing her some pain.

Yet, she didn’t utter a sound or resist.

She knew that anyone might react to this situation like Vincent.

“I’m the last one to know, and you all knew,” Vincent expressed desolation, his eyes filled with a hidden melancholy.

Olivia was slightly puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Vincent’s words.

Perhaps, she thought, he had already processed the revelation of Jaxon’s background.

After learning about their past, Vincent experienced a mix of emotions. He was surprised, angry, and jealous all at the same time.

However, he managed to keep his composure. He didn’t leave Olivia behind or accuse her, showing understanding toward her honesty.

They had only recently started to date.

Thus, he decided she was sincere to him for sharing her past dating experience.

Olivia, feeling the weight lift off her shoulders, apologized, “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I didn’t know how to bring it up.”

Vincent looked at her, who was before him, and couldn’t blame her.

This was all because he was not lucky enough to meet her before Jaxon.

Vincent said gently. “Silly girl, it’s not your fault. I’m glad you told me. I see our future together. I’m full of hope.”

Olivia asked, “Will Jaxon return to the Sullivan residence?”

If that happened, she would break down.

Understanding her concern, Vincent reassured her, “Not for now. Even if he does, I won’t stay there. You don’t need to worry.”

He was determined to protect her. Although he wasn’t her first love, it didn’t matter.

Her future belonged exclusively to him, and that was enough.

Olivia took a deep breath after she felt the weight lifted off her chest.

Though life ahead might become complicated, the relief from unburdening her secrets made her feel better.
