章 57: Chapter 57 : When Tragedy Strikes

**Ellis POV

I pinned Carl’s arms behind his back, dragging him away from Olivia. She might not want anything to do with me, but I wasn’t going to let my son harass her. He was still my responsibility.

“Let go of me!” Carl cried, flailing in my grasp. He kicked into my shin and a sharp pain ran up my leg. Grunting, I released Carl.

He staggered to the side. Olivia backed away, watching with wide, terrorized eyes.

“What the h*ll are you doing! You’re always getting in my way,” Carl yelled at me.

“You’re supposed to be on a plane crossing the Atlantic,” I reminded him. I crossed my arms.

Carl laughed and shook his head. “You’re such an idiot. You think I can’t slip off a plane when you’re not looking?” he asked.

I took a deep breath, keeping my composure, despite Carl trying my patience… again. I smoothed my hands down the front of my jacket.

“Oh, you’re getting on that plane and you’re going to Europe, even if I have to buckle you into your seat myself,” I threatened.
