Only If You Know novel Chapter 3

After long hours of sleep, Olivia finally woke up at eight in the morning and went down. She walked into the kitchen and saw everyone munching on their breakfast on the chair in front of the table. This sight almost made her smile, but it didn’t last long because she suddenly had a flashback to her life four years ago.

They were a happy family back then. Her mother would always prepare delicious meals for them, and her father would always assist her mother in the kitchen. Until then, she and Ja... Uh, they used to laugh or fight until their parents served the food, and they spent their time together like any other happy family.

Olivia didn’t want to disturb their family moment, so she took a left and was about to return to her new room when Ella called her name.

The universe, as usual, has other plans for her.

“Livy, good morning. Take a seat and join us for breakfast.”

She didn’t want to, but she knew she needed to eat something because she had eaten nothing for three days.

Olivia pushed herself towards them and sat opposite Caleb, who was once again watching her every move. She took a toast and ate it quietly, only speaking when called upon.

“How was your sleep, honey?” Ella asked her gently.

“All right,” she muttered quietly.

The tension was palpable in the air, and she knew it was her fault, so she excused herself after a single toast, only to be interrupted once more.

“Livy, you only ate one toast; a growing girl like you needs to eat more,” she asked, a worried expression on her face.

“I am not really hungry,” she admitted quietly.

Olivia was not lying when she said she wasn't hungry. She used to enjoy eating, but not any longer. She is not dieting or concerned about her weight, but her appetite has deteriorated with her happiness over time.

“At the very least, sit with us for a while.” David insisted.

She sat down reluctantly, with a slight nod. Ella began talking to Caleb about the party he was going to in order to alleviate the awkwardness. She even asked him to take Livy with him, which caused her to choke on the water she was slowly sipping.
