Immediately, I stepped back when I realized that Josh was staring not at me, but at my hand that Zeke was squeezing.
I pulled my hand back, feeling awkward.
Then, there were sirens. I straightened up to see that emergency medical assistance and the police were here. Behind them was a private car. The driver

Josh Morgan Sterling POVThe party resumed.My parents’ arrival momentarily stopped it, but when they left, everyone went back to what they were doing.On the other hand, I looked at the three faces of our children, at the fierce expression painted on their faces and the rigidity in their stance.They were only five years old, and yet they didn’t hesitate when they rushed in front of their mother like an impenetrable wall.They were so fiercely protective of Olivia, and fiercely loyal, too, despite their age.And my heart bled for them.How many times did they have to do that?How many times did they face people to defend their mother?And who defended them when their mother was not around?While Olivia was thanking and praising them, I crouched low in front of the triplets and in one fell swoop, I scooped them all in my arms, hugging them.My shoulders shook with the emotion that consumed them.But this time, I did not apologize. I made a promise not only to them, but to myself as we
LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over! Chapter 151. Protecting Mommy and You
Olivia Barnett POV“So the prodigal wife is back.”My body immediately stiffened, not at the question but at the sight of the people before me.Mary and Jayson Sterling, Josh’s parents, eyed me with disdain. They looked at me the way they had since I set foot in the Sterling mansion, as if I was just a mere speck of dust in their midst.Josh laid a protective hand on me. Then, he faced his parents.“What are you doing here? This is a private party. You are not invited here.”The expression on Mary’s face shifted. It was the first crack I saw on her facade.She was about to retaliate, probably with a scathing remark, but the children caught her attention. They raced toward us and formed a protective fence in front of me.“No one touches our mommy,” Leo said as if he had done this countless times.I placed a hand on his shoulder, telling him without words to back down. After all, the people before us were their grandparents, Josh’s parents.“Mister Sterling, Madam Sterling.” I addressed

Olivia Barnett POVThe drones continued to move, capturing priceless moments that are readily displayed on the screen.I looked at Josh.He had a smile on his face.A feeling of contentment settled inside me.A few weeks ago, I did not think that we would come to this.I went back here ready to sign my marriage away. I was ready for goodbye. I did not expect that the goodbye I was expecting would instantly turn into welcome back and restarting over.Until now, there are still blurry lines in our relationship, but I decided when I gave Josh a chance that I would take each day as it comes.“My wife came here, ready to divorce me.” Josh shared some tidbits about our relationship, and parts of it made my face flush.“What she didn’t know was that I spent the last five years waiting for her return, planning on making her mine again.”There was a collective gasp. And a loud whistle.“I admit I am still on probation. But I am working my a*s right now, to change our status into something more
LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over! Chapter 149. To Family and Happy Beginnings
Olivia Barnett POVI went to meet my family, thinking that we were going to have a private celebration. Limited to the five of us. Lucas, I expected to be there after the celebratory lunch, bearing the forms needed to register the triplets as Sterling.I did not expect that Josh would spring up an elaborate surprise. That there was going to be a party attended by our friends, and some people from the press.The moment I walked in, there were congratulations.I pressed a hand to my chest, clearly overwhelmed.There was nothing simple about the whole thing. And for Josh to manage to call on everyone that matters?I smiled when I heard the children’s giggles, and then Josh came forward, grabbed me and tipped my chin for a kiss. Heaven!I heard a whirring sound. When I looked up, I counted at least three drones flying, but I was mostly aware of the erratic beating of my heart.When Josh pulled back, I realized there was a large LED screen in the middle, and it was replaying our kiss!And
LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over! Chapter 148. Only Woman in my Life
Josh Morgan Sterling POV“Daddy, are you going to call Mommy?” Zoe asked when she saw me taking out my phone.I smiled at her, pinching her cute little chipmunk face.“Yes, sweetie.”I placed my index finger to my lips when the call got through, and I heard Olivia’s familiar voice on the line, silently requesting the three of them to be quiet while I talked to their mother.Today, we are going to set in motion my plans, and I was making sure that she would be right there.“Hello.” The perky voice told me that she had been successful in her job interview. I congratulated her. The kids also congratulated her.I reminded her about the lunch and told her the car had been waiting for her.When I ended the call, Ivy asked if today’s the day. I nodded in confirmation.The children cheered while the car coasted along the highway.Less than twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of a grand hotel.“Wow!” Leo looked fascinated by the sprawling greens made by soft, undulating mound
LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over! Chapter 147. Mrs. Sterling
Olivia Barnett POVI was so flustered. Gingerly, I stroked my lips. Even now, I could still feel the heat of Josh’s lips on my lips, causing my cheeks to warm up.“Mrs. Sterling?”I looked up at the driver with a start.He was standing beside the open door of Josh's Rolls-Royce, waiting for me to enter.It was only then that it hit me! He referred to me as Mrs. Sterling. It seemed surreal. I never regarded myself as Mrs. Sterling and would have wanted to correct him, but that would mean I had to explain my messy and complicated relationship with his boss.Deciding to forego the issue, I slid inside the car. The driver closed the door, got in, and started the engine almost immediately.I looked at the time and realized we were running a bit late. I wanted to blame the children and their father, but I can’t.The children needed the normalcy of seeing their father and me together.But they didn’t need to see the kiss, said the voice at the back of my head.I shook it off as heat pooled a
