All Chapters of LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Josh Morgan Sterling POVI saw the fear in her eyes. Hidden beneath that fear, the look she gave me was full of confidence. She was determined. And she had never been more beautiful in my eyes.What we are about to do frightened me, too.“You always sought their approval when we were young. Are you really willing to go against your parents?”I held her hand.“Yes.”“You are afraid.” It was not a question but a statement. “Your hand is shaking.”I didn't want to lie to her, so I nodded, acknowledging her sharp eye.“Yes, but there’s no way I will let fear keep me from acknowledging my children and letting the whole world know about them.”This is not about the money, power, and the vast Sterling wealth. This is me claiming the triplets, Leo, Ivy and Zoe, as my children. The future of the Sterling name.“My parents gave me my blood. They gave me the Sterling name. But you and the children. You are my life.”Olivia’s eyes shone with tears.“Josh.” She muttered my name.I gently wiped her

Josh Morgan Sterling POVI looked at the DNA test result cross-matching me and the triplets, and it said ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent. But the most shocking reveal was that it was that the result was dated four years ago. The day the children were born.“You had this all along?” I asked Grandpa, too awed at this turn of events.Grandpa nodded. His gaze was sure and direct when he answered my query.“Yes. I wanted your children to be protected.”I could not believe it. My team had been scrambling for the test when the proof had already been sitting with Grandpa’s attorney.I looked at my grandfather in awe. He was really a sly fox for having thought about this in advance. But it also showed how much he loves my children to protect them like this.Grandpa Jonathan turned to Olivia, who looked as shocked as I was.He walked toward her, and when he neared her, he dropped his cane and held both her hands in his.“I am sorry if I acted without your consent. I knew you wouldn’t allo

Olivia Barnett POVMy chest heaved as I tried to regulate my breathing right after Josh wrapped his arm around me to hug me from behind.I was so mad. No, I was more than mad. I was furious.What kind of people are Josh’s parents? I can’t imagine that they could be this ruthless. “Hey, it’s alright. They are gone. The security escorted them out.” Josh murmured in my ear while his hands gently stroked my waist. He was trying to calm my frazzled nerves. And he was succeeding. For the next few minutes, I channeled my thoughts to the way his hands glided through my sides and felt its calming effect.“I endured their low opinion of me. I can take that. I understand that they are only protecting the Sterling name from non-family members like me. I didn’t even take to heart all the scathing remarks your mother deliberately made me hear, cloaked by her sweet, refined actions or the way they malign me to other people on several occasions.”My voice turned tremulous as I choked back a sob.I

Olivia Barnett POVI gazed up at Josh’s face. His eyes on mine were direct in their sincerity.And his body trembled a little.I remembered the old Josh Morgan Sterling. The one who runs the Sterling Enterprises, and my boss from five years ago.He was quite different from the man in front of me.That man was arrogant. He was too full of himself.Despite that, I loved him anyway.This version of Josh was an improved one, but somehow it made me miss the old Josh. Not the insufferable one, but the one who got annoyed with me too easily, but let me off the hook just as easily. Someone who acted naturally around me.But people change.Josh changed as much as I did.He was more serious now. Lucas told me that he smiles less often, too.“But since you and the children came back, it was as if a fire had been lit up inside him. He was all warmth and sunshine.”But he was cautious, too.It was like he was walking on eggshells all the time. He was restrained most of the time. It was like he was

Lucy Cole POVThe investors were gone. Their cars hurriedly left the place one by one. Even Josh’s parents, Mary and Jason, had already left hastily, ignoring Grandpa and the triplets. They did not even spare them a glance when they passed by us to get to their car.I wondered what happened to Josh and Olivia.The children looked bored.“What is taking them so long?” Grandpa Jonathan asked everyone in general. It’s been a while since they got back from the main house, and Olivia and Josh still hadn't shown their faces.All of us looked at him. He had this impatient look on his face, and he kept massaging his knees.“Does your knee hurt, Grandpa?” Ivy, Olivia, and Josh’s second child asked the old man.I could see he was in great pain, but he forced a smile to his face for the benefit of the child. I also noticed how his eyes lit up every time he gazed at the children.“No.” He denied it and shook his head.But even before he could deny it, all three children were already kneeling in f
