Chapter 149 - Silent Tears

Chapter 149: Silent Tears

The Incubus System Chapter 149. Silent Tears

Olivia quickly lowered her cellphone to hide it.

"Excuse me for a moment." Without further ado, she stood up and walked towards the exit.

Meanwhile, Emma and I exchanged our gazes since we realized something was wrong.

"Did you see who called her?" I asked.

Emma shook her head side to side.

While Larry looked at us in turn with a confused expression.

"What's wrong?"

But I didn't answer.

"I need to go to the toilet," I said as I got up from my chair and Emma caught what I wanted to do.

Since Olivia received the call privately, I was sure it had something to do with her parents' divorcement. But if it was a call from Camila or Miguel, her expression shouldn't be like that, so I guessed it from Myra. The question was, why did Myra contact her?

"Do I need to accompany you?" asked Emma worriedly. Looks like she was also worried about Olivia.

"It's fine ---" Before I finished my sentence, Larry interrupted me.

"Emma ... Why do you want to follow Ethan to the toilet?" His eyes stared at Emma in confusion.

"I mean I want to go to the toilet too," she corrected her words awkwardly.

"But I think I'll go with Olivia later," she added.

Meanwhile, I turned to Olivia and realized she had left the Cafeteria.

"Later," I said without taking my eyes off Olivia. Without further ado, I stepped my feet after her.

I walked past the students along the corridor as my eyes locked onto Olivia who walked quickly in front of me without answering her cellphone. But of course, I kept my distance to make sure she didn't notice me. She went upstairs and stopped by a lonely staircase. While I pressed my back against the nearby wall that out of her sight and stood casually there. My hand fiddled my cellphone screen as my ears listened to what she said.

"What do you want? Where did you get my number?" said Olivia curtly as she answered the call. She was silent for a moment as she listened to what the person said.

"I told you I will think about it again. After all, didn't you say you would give me a day to think?"

She paused again for a moment before laughing sarcastically.

"Very funny, Myra. Do you think I can accept you as my new mom after that?"

"Let me go," she said without turning her gaze at me and keeping her head down.

"No." Same as her, I also didn't turn my eyes to her.

"Ethan, let me go!" she raised her voice as she pulled her hand away, trying to get herself away from me. But I didn't budge. Then without further ado, I pulled her, pressed her back against the wall and pinned her hands on the sides of her head, allowing me to see her face clearly. My body approached hers and my feet were right in front of hers, minimizing her legs movements. Though my strength was far above her, she was a master of martial arts, I didn't know what she could do to me. My eyes fixed on her, my irritation was clearly visible from my face. Whereas I could see Olivia's red and teary eyes, holding back her tears, but despite her expression, she glared at me in displeasure.

"I won't say anything even if you force me. It's my family problem, I don't want you to interfere." She moved her hands to try to break free and tried to raise her legs, but I held them.

"I won't ask again ..." I said.

"Then let me go," she asked.

"No ..." I brought my face closer to her. She gasped and closed her eyes since she thought I was going to kiss her, but no, I titled my head, passed her head and shifted my hands to hug her tightly.

Olivia opened her eyes in surprise, her heart beating fast.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it. At least let me stay with you for a moment." One of my hands moved behind her head and stroked her hair gently.

"Because I know... crying alone is painful..." I said in a gentle voice. I remembered at a time when I couldn't take the burden out of my head, I could only secretly cry in my room and hug my family photo. I always told myself this would be over soon, all I needed to do was keep moving forward, and that was true. After that passed, I felt like I just woke up from my nightmare. Then my sadness turned into a passion to fight for Celia and my future. Maybe that's why I struggled to keep alive when those demons ate me a week ago.

But, though I had been through it, sometimes I still could feel the pain from it. That's why ... I didn't want my loved ones to feel the same pain.

Olivia remained silent, but I could feel her body was shaking. Slowly, her hands moved to hug me tightly.

"Thank you ..." she whispered in a trembling voice as she buried her face in my shoulder. Shortly, I could feel my sweater getting wet with her tears followed by a silent sob that sounded clearly in my ear.
