Although Harold felt anxious that neither Ethan nor Olivia wanted kids at the moment, there was nothing he could do.He was a quick-witted man and would think of other ways to achieve his goal. He proceeded to change the topic."Alright, it's fine if you don't want a baby yet. Now that I think about it, my birthday is just around the corner, and I haven't celebrated it since your grandmother passed."Since both of you are here this time, we should take the chance to liven things up. Why don't you take care of it, Liv?"Olivia waved her hand in refusal and said, "This won't do. Mrs. Miller Senior should be the one to do it. She's the head of the household."Also, I just got here and don't really know how to start. I won't be very good at it."Harold's birthday celebration had to be a huge event, not just a simple dinner.It would be a very challenging task, from inviting the guests to handling every detail of the banquet.The Millers were a prestigious family. They would become laughing

"Look at you. I looked away for a bit, and you're all lovey-dovey." Harold appeared out of nowhere. Olivia quickly pulled away from Ethan while blushing. She kept a distance due to the embarrassment of being caught red-handed when sharing a moment of intimacy. "Alright, no need to be shy. You two have been married for so long. I'll stop poking fun at you. "Eugenia would be happy to know that you're getting along so well. Ethan, come and play a few rounds of chess with me.""Okay, Grandpa."Olivia and Ethan parted ways as he was led away by Harold. After he was sure they were alone, Harold asked, "What's going on between you and Olivia?""Nothing.""Nothing? Do you think I'm blind? She's not reacting to a lot of things I mentioned. "Also, why don't you have kids yet? She wanted to bear your children three years ago, and now she's unwilling?"Harold's mind was clouded sometimes, but he was still sharp. Ethan knew he couldn't fool Harold, so he came clean. "There were indeed some iss

That was something Ethan had already thought about. It was also his biggest fear. "The drug's effects are stable. I won't give her the chance to regain her memories.""Nothing in this world is guaranteed. The most important thing you need to do now is to settle things with Marina. Make sure she doesn't show up and throw a wrench into your plans. "Since it's already come to this, you need to cut losses before it's too late. You should also try to get her pregnant again."Ethan frowned. "Both of Liv's pregnancies ended up with premature births. Her body isn't in good shape. It would be hard for her to get pregnant." "Get someone to nurse her back to health then. Women are emotional creatures. Have you ever thought of what would happen if she found out what you did to her in the past?"Ethan thought about how she was still wary of him despite suffering from amnesia. It was apparent how she was subconsciously rejecting him. "She would leave without hesitation." "That's right. She woul

Nikki was visibly upset when Olivia said that. She said in a honeyed tone, "Look at her, Ms. Procter. She's so uncivilized. I meant well…"Janice had just been enjoying the show. She didn't expect to be dragged into it. "You mean well?" Janice huffed. She put down her cutleries and wiped her lips elegantly. "I didn't pick up on that at all. You were insulting her parents, too."Nikki looked at Janice in disbelief. She had stayed by Janice's side for so long. She didn't expect Janice to side with Olivia. "Ms. Procter, I just felt bad for you. She isn't even taking good care of you as your daughter-in-law. She wakes up late in the morning. I don't think she even cares about you."Janice glanced at her with narrowed eyes. "If she doesn't care about me, who does?"Nikki blushed and said shyly, "Ms. Procter, you know how I feel toward Ethan …"She heard a sneer. Janice lifted her chin with a finger and said, "Do you know what I hate the most?"Nikki met Janice's gaze. She felt bloodlust

Free labor? Nikki was stunned. She thought she was hearing things. She couldn't believe Janice had actually said that. "Ms. Procter, do you really hate me so much? But you've been so kind to me these two years."Tears were streaming down her face as she said that. She looked like a sad little kitten. Unexpectedly, Janice reacted negatively to her actions. Janice said coldly, "Drop the act. I'm not a man. All that does is make me even angrier." Nikki was dumbfounded. She thought Janice noticed how much she cared for her these two years. She thought Janice was just bad at expressing her emotions. But it seemed like Nikki was being delusional. "Mrs. Procter, I'll stop coming over if you hate me so much. You have to remember to take your meds …"Nikki hoped that Janice would at least try to stop her from leaving. Funnily enough, her behavior reminded Janice of Jessica Potts. Kenneth initially had feelings for Janice, but Jessica pulled the same trick as Nikki to extinguish Kenneth'

Olivia felt slightly strange as she was shopping with Janice. It was the first time she went shopping with her mother-in-law. She finally understood what it meant to be a big spender. Janice had many brand-new clothes at home but still bought a whole pile of them without even batting an eye. Olivia wasn't sure if she was the same before she lost her memories. But at the moment, she felt troubled when she looked at those prices. Janice was completely unfazed. "Just spend the money. If you don't spend it, are you planning to let some other woman spend it for you? Don't worry, the Millers are stacked." Olivia smiled awkwardly, then she heard Janice add, "The Procters are pretty well off, too."Olivia didn't know anything about the Procters. She had heard that Janice was adamant about marrying Kenneth. She even turned down her childhood friend for Kenneth, which made her grandfather furious. The Procters had tried to stop her from marrying Kenneth, but to no avail. When they learned

Olivia saw an unfamiliar face. The face was exquisite, but she didn't feel a sense of familiarity.So, she figured that the woman was a stranger. But the woman looked at Olivia like she knew her. "Do you know me?" Olivia asked. The woman regained her composure and said with a smile, "In a way."The woman stood up. Her posture was elegant and confident as she stuck her hand out. "Hi, I'm Jacqueline Fordham."This name … Olivia couldn't help but ask, "You're a Fordham?"Avery had just given her his card not long ago. She didn't expect to meet another Fordham so soon. "Yeah. Avery told us about you. We wouldn't have found my sister's remains without your help. I've been meaning to visit you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. You're more beautiful in person."Jacqueline smiled. A dimple appeared on her left cheek, which made her seem even more delightful and charming. Olivia had asked Ethan about her encounter with Avery. He casually glossed over it and told her about what happene

Olivia could sense that something was wrong, but she didn't try to ask any questions since she noticed Janice's aloof attitude. Olivia nodded at the woman politely and said, "Please make way."The woman took Olivia's hand affectionately and said, "You must be Olivia. I've seen the news. "You're a good match for Ethan. You two look like a match made in heaven when standing next to each other."The woman saw the confusion in Olivia's eyes and introduced herself, "Look at me. I forgot that we haven't met. I'm Ethan's stepmother. You can call me Ms. Potts." Olivia immediately understood who she was—Jessica Potts, the love of Kenneth's life. She was also the one that brought misfortune upon the Millers, and she was also a class-A bitch. Olivia didn't expect to meet Jessica in person. She finally understood why Janice was acting that way. Also, Jessica was probably trying to cozy up to her so she could ruin Janice's day. Jessica was obviously more skilled at putting up appearances than

Olivia was afraid that this meeting would cause Janice's condition to worsen. She observed all of their expressions anxiously.Kenneth finally noticed Janice's presence. His gaze fell on her momentarily before moving away. The emotions in his eyes were conflicted. Several emotions were swirling within.Janice didn't even look at him. She muttered, "Just my fucking luck."Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it. Janice waved at the salesperson and said, "Pack up all these I have tried on."The salesperson said uneasily, "About that … Mrs. Miller Senior had reserved them in advance. They are our last pair. I showed them to you to match them with the necklace." Mrs. Miller Senior. These three words were quite ironic.Jessica quickly said, "It's fine, Janice. We're a family, after all. If you like these earrings, you can have them. "Kenneth can pay for them. It'll be our gift to Olivia. "Right, Kenneth. This is Ethan's wife. I don't think you've met her before."What a consi

Ethan really did resemble Kenneth. Both of them were mostly expressionless. Kenneth's expression made it hard to discern his feelings at the moment. After they had walked away, Olivia asked, "Mom, are you okay?""Why wouldn't I be? She's just as underhanded as ever. She was just trying to make me angry."As if recalling something, Janice smiled. "Her tactics weren't that ingenious. She simply manipulated my feelings for Kenneth. "The more I cared about him, the easier I would lose control of my emotions. "Even if I knew she was setting me up, I could never stop myself from falling for it. And the misunderstandings piled up over time.""Since they were misunderstandings, have you ever tried to explain yourself?"Janice brought Olivia to a cafe on the top floor to relax. She stirred her coffee in the air-conditioned cafe and told Olivia about her past."If he loves you, he should believe you even if you didn't explain yourself. If he doesn't love you, anything you do would irritate
