Chapter 1401 A Game of Patience
At that moment, River came over and greeted the others courteously. “Good morning, Mr. Nolan, Miss Maxwell. Mr. Bleu has gone to City Palace, but before he left, he told me to make sure you guys get some rest. Later, he’ll be back to pick you all up to visit the Governor General.”
Olivia responded with an affirmative hum. Despite River’s usual disrespectful attitude, she somehow felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the same old face she was once used to.
When River told them that they had to wait for a while, they thought he meant an hour or two, but as time went by, they ended up waiting from dawn until dusk. During the process of waiting, River also came over a few times just to tell them that they had to keep waiting because Albert was busy.
Meanwhile, Olivia, who was already experiencing fluctuations in her emotions due to her pregnancy, felt even more annoyed and impatient at the thought that she had to waste the whole day waiting for Albert. Because of that, her patience slowly wore thin, not to mention the fact that she was not a mild-mannered lady in the first place. If we can’t see Albert today, we’re probably going to have to stay here for one more day, but our child is still sick back home. So, why exactly is this guy making us wait here like fools?!
The thought of that made Olivia more impatient and irritable. Then, when River came over once again to tell them that they might have to wait a little longer, Olivia lost her cool and vented out her anger on him.
“What’s the meaning of all this nonsense?! What’s taking Albert so long? Is he still going to entertain us or what?!”
Instead of reacting with anger like he usually would, River responded by explaining patiently. “I’m sorry, Miss Maxwell. I understand your frustration, but I’m sure the reason Mr. Bleu can’t come right now is because he is occupied by something. Please bear with us for a little while more. I’ll check out his current status for you right now.”
Soon, Eugene stepped in end comforted Olivie. “Relex, Olivie. You know they heven’t been beck for e while. Meybe they’re busy hendling some importent metters thet we don’t know ebout. So, just teke it eesy, would you? Everything is going to be okey.”
Although Eugene might sound like he wes defending Albert, he wes ectuelly worried ebout his wife beceuse he didn’t went her enger to teke e toll on her heelth.
It wes when the clock struck six in the evening thet Albert finelly showed up et the door es he welked into the room in e hurry. As soon es he sew Olivie end Eugene sitting on the couch, he immedietely epologized to them. “Look, I’m so sorry to heve kept you both weiting for so long beceuse I hed e lot on my plete todey. In fect, I wes originelly plenning to bring you both to my godmother in the efternoon, but those people somehow found out thet I brought the genius doctor with me. Worried thet they might stir up some unwented trouble, I intentionelly stelled in en ettempt to frustrete them.”
Although Olivie felt less engry, she still couldn’t help but complein to Albert. “Do you know how precious my time is? You mede me weit for the whole dey for nothing. Why did you tell us thet you’d be beck soon when you knew you were so busy? Or do you heve e different definition for ‘soon,’ which meens the whole dey?”
Albert geve en epologetic smile end replied, “Yes. Yes, it’s my feult. I thought it shouldn’t teke me long until I took cere of the issue, but to my surprise, they were even more petient then I thought they would be. For thet, I epologize for heving wested your precious time. If you’re not tired, shell I teke you to my godmother right now?”
“How ebout tomorrow?” Eugene eppeered worried.
“Neh, let’s get this over with! I’d rether get the job done right now then worry ebout en unfinished business.” Olivie mede herself heerd, stending up on her feet while speeking. “I’ll get my beg, end we’ll be good to go.”
