Josh Morgan Sterling

“So how are we holding up?” I asked, rubbing my forehead.

I looked at my children. They were huddled on the other side of the waiting bench with their arms around each other.

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 87. Recognize Your Own Ring

    ​Olivia Barnett POVI wanted to reject the idea right away, but it died down the moment I heard Ivy and Zoe shout out in glee. They were giggling and clapping their hands, too. Their faces were flushed. It does not take a genius to conclude that they were both happy with how things are unfolding.They also hugged Josh’s neck approvingly. Their arms are looping around him.“Thank you, Daddy!”“That’s cool, Dad!”They both cried out in unison.I was silent the whole time, watching them and their father.I believe that I could not be a buzzkill. They were all happy, and I could not take that happiness away from them just so I could make my point.From above their heads, I met Josh’s smug look, but it only earned him an eye-roll from me. I didn’t like that he was using my children against me. And the glare I gave him was enough to make him realize that.The smirk died on his lips when he saw the murderous expression on my face.If it were five years ago, I would have been delighted to see

    Olivia Barnett POVMy phone buzzed.Actually, it had been buzzing for a while now. I was sure it was Lucy. Knowing the triplets' impatience, I was sure they put her up to it, and demanded she call me.I ignored Josh’s statement and made a beeline for the door, not caring whether he followed me out.“The children are getting restless,” Lucy said when I answered her call.“Coming,” I told her, and heard Josh’s heavy footsteps behind me. He grabbed my arm. I thought he would pull me back to resume our argument, but to my surprise, he only linked our hands together.“Josh.”He nudged toward the waiting elevator. His hand was still holding mine like he did not want to let go. It was the same thing he did back at the hotel.“Just let me hold you like this, please.”I did not respond. But I did not snatch my hand back, either, allowing us to hold hands.When we arrived at the hospital entrance, Josh’s Rolls-Royce was already there, waiting. The engine hums steadily. The back passenger door w

    Olivia Barnett POVHe pulled me close and pressed his forehead to my forehead. Our chests rise and fall at the same time. Our breaths mingled.His eyes hovered over my face, watching, waiting.It made me feel self-conscious. And I hate to admit it, but Josh Morgan Sterling is the only man who can affect me like this.Even as the years passed. He still has power over me.And that scares me right out of my skull.So, I pushed him, rejecting the offer.I can’t be vulnerable again to the man who had repeatedly hurt me in the past.That would be stupidity.I already got out of the spiral. I shall not go back there again to be buried alive.“How can you fix what’s been broken?” I don’t see any way around it, except by trusting him again, and right now, I can’t.My heart was still fragile from all the pain that I had endured from him.“Try me. Give me a chance, Olivia.”I shook my head because until now, I couldn’t do that.The trauma he left in me shattered me. If it weren’t for the three c

My breathing was uneven, too. It felt like I was back to the day when I realized I had special feelings for Josh Morgan Sterling.I shook my head no. It can’t. Josh was just a part of the past.

    Olivia Barnett POVA moment of awkward silence passed between us at Zoe’s question until I heard Lucy burst into fits of laughter. I knew it was her because her laugh did not change much over the years.She’s still the same. Even the tone of her voice remained unchanged."No, sweetie. They are not hurt. They're..." She paused as if grasping for words.My eyes widened, anticipating what her next word would be. It must be something scandalous, given her frankness."Lucy!"Our eyes met when I propped myself on the bed using my elbow."Oh! Hello, babe! You did not tell me that I am going in to witness seduction 101, or was it sex 101?"She grinned, and I face-palmed myself. Lucy never knew the word filter. She says what’s on her mind most of the time, regardless of who is in attendance.And now, the triplets looked curious.“Mommy, what did Aunt Lucy say?”I was scandalized. My body went stiff in shock.Stunned, I called out Lucy's name to reprimand her."Lucy! Your mouth! They're only fo

It’s already on its way to the hospital.”I gave him back the key to the car, but he refused to take it.“It’s yours.
