Chapter 1322 Celebrating Marriage
Eugene and Olivia's return was rather rushed, and they could only stay in the country briefly. They didn't plan to publicize or celebrate their special day, but Eugene's Twitter post immediately made it to the trending list. Soon, their friends and family knew that they had registered their marriage.
Subsequently, everyone considerately expressed their desire to treat them to a celebration dinner, but Olivia had no intentions of making a fuss, so Eugene declined on their behalf.
The two of them left work early and went back to the Nolan Residence. They could easily ignore the others and their requests, but Old Man Nolan was definitely not placed in that same category.
Although they often video-called and knew about Old Man Nolan's current situation, getting registered was such a big event that they chose to solemnly announce it in person.
Old Man Nolan wasn't one to surf the web or scroll through Twitter, so he was only made aware once they told him about it.
Not only that, but Eugene also told him the good news of Olivia's pregnancy.
Merlin was delighted upon hearing such fantastic news and kept proudly boasting that Eugene had his past charisma to thank for such an achievement. He also told Eugene to take good care of Olivia and told Olivia that if Eugene ever bullied her, she should come to him for help.
The two of them spent two whole hours in the Nolan Residence, and under Brian's urging, a few close friends eventually gathered in a private room for a small celebration.
Of course, at the request of Eugene and Olivia, there were no outsiders present in this small gathering.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The main purpose of this gathering was to celebrate their registered marriage and pregnancy, but Olivia had a selfish motive and wanted to help Halma and Nathan.
Although she gave Halma some terrible advice, she couldn't bear to put it into practice. As Halma said, if she ended up with Nathan in the future, there was a high possibility that Jade would inevitably accuse her of being a scheming gold digger.
So, Olivia decided to gather everyone together and have a frank discussion. If worst came to worst, she could play the villain role herself. After all, she had Eugene to protect her, and Jade wouldn't hold a grudge against her.
Besides, she didn't think Jade would be unreasonable. Who knows? Maybe it was just a case of severe miscommunication.
Unexpectedly, everyone arrived except for Nathan.
Although Olivia didn't explicitly say that Halma would be at the gathering, Nathan would have known that Halma would be there if he had a little more common sense.
So, Olivia decided to give him a call after waiting for a while and not seeing him making an appearance.
Nathan apologized and said he was attending a reception with his father and couldn't leave, but he mentioned that he would come as soon as he finished and insisted on coming over to celebrate with them.
Olivia didn't think that it was anything out of the norm and started drinking and chatting with everyone.
Of course, the people in attendance congratulated them on their registered marriage. Then, they switched the subject and started talking about their situation in Mastar.
Brian was very concerned about Blake's condition, so Eugene and Olivia didn't hide anything and briefly told him what had happened during their time in Mastar.
Brian could feel his heart shuddering along with their words.
When he heard that the donor for Blake's transplant had died due to murder, his heart sank, but luckily Olivia announced her pregnancy.
She didn't hide it from him as he knew she considered him a part of his family. He was like her younger brother and the second man she could trust after Eugene.
The arrival of this child not only proved their love but also gave them hope to save Blake.
Yet, for some reason, Brian's mind seemed dazed, as if he had just realized they were now an item.
Although they had registered their marriage, lived together, and he had accepted the fact that Olivia was his sister-in-law, there was still a sliver of hope.
Frankly, he didn't know what he was hoping for.
On the other hand, Halma had no idea just what had happened between them. So, she listened with a mixture of shock and concern. She was truly worried about the child and Olivia, but she also kept repeatedly murmuring how she didn't know what to do to help out.
Nonetheless, Olivia didn't mind because it wasn't like there was no one available to help them over in Mastar. Friends might not always be around, but their words always have a powerful effect.
Time seemed to pass quickly as they chatted. They kept waiting and waiting, but Nathan never arrived.
