The village wasn't that big. Olivia basically knew everyone who lived here. The two people in front of them weren't married or dating. The woman's name was Isabella. She was the man's sister-in-law. Her husband fell off a cliff two years ago when he was gathering herbs. He was paralyzed and lost the ability to have sex. Isabella was probably too lonely, which was why she was cheating on her husband with his younger brother. Cheating was very commonplace in the city. If it was discovered, the couple would just get a divorce. But divorce wasn't a very popular concept in the village. If Isabella was found out, she would be done for. They were afraid of being found out. That was why they came to a place like the fields. At this hour, everyone would have gone home. Ethan and Olivia were outliers. Ethan spoke up, "Liv …"Before he could utter another word, Olivia covered his mouth. Ethan was new to the village and didn't know about its customs. If Isabella was discovered, she
Olivia could feel Ethan's sturdy body. They were in a stuffy field and covered in sweat from the physical labor. The scent of herbs emanating from her was like an aphrodisiac for Ethan. Olivia smacked his restless hand. "Stay still."Ethan wasn't that obedient this time. He needed an opportunity. Isabella and Aaron's actions were a catalyst for him to achieve a breakthrough with Olivia. The two of them were still going at it very passionately. They must have been very pent-up. The sun was setting, and everyone else had already gone home for dinner. No one would be in the fields at that hour. The atmosphere and location only served to spur the two of them more. They began to do it even more intensely. Ethan was breathing next to Olivia's ear. Even the warm evening breeze was caressing them gently.Ethan sighed. "Liv, I won't force you if you're unwilling. But you laying on top of me will make me lose control. You should get up."As he said that, he reached out to push Oli
Olivia was ready to get off of Ethan at any time. She moved the corn leaves aside to check. Unexpectedly, Aaron and Isabella were just changing their position. Most of the people in the village had tanned skin. Isabella was an outlier. She couldn't get tanned no matter how much time she spent under the sun. Her figure was also very good since she had never been pregnant. Aaron was tanned because he worked in the fields all year long. He was also pretty muscular. The two of them continued to go at it as the sun was setting, They were still very young. They couldn't endure the feeling of loneliness. Olivia withdrew her gaze. They had started another round of lovemaking. It was probably because it was getting dark and they were in an open space. They felt liberated, like they were at the top of the world.One should take risks while one was still young. Even if they understood they were headed toward a dead-end, they wouldn't give up until the very end. Olivia was young onc
Olivia could have used her self-defense skills to fight Ethan, but she didn't want Isabella and Aaron to find out they were there. Otherwise, everything she tolerated before would've been for naught. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she caused Isabella to commit suicide out of shame. Cheating was wrong, but she didn't have to pay for it with her life. Too many people had been hurt or killed because of her. Cyril's leg was still suffering from lingering effects after so many years. Mona was dead, and so was Snowball. She was also the reason Ethan had all those scars on his back.All those things had become a burden to her. She didn't want anyone to lose their lives for her sake again. "Ethan, you bastard. Let go of me," Olivia hissed. Ethan whispered, "Liv, why can you be so forgiving to everyone else? But you're always so cruel to me."Olivia looked him in the eye and asked slowly, "Do you really not know?"Sighing, Ethan nestled his head on her neck. "Liv, the
Olivia felt embarrassed. She bit her lip and retorted, "It's just the body's natural reaction. I can't control it. It's not the same as me wanting to do it."Ethan licked her neck. She tilted her neck, making a concerted effort to ignore the peculiar sensations on her body.Ethan was despicable. He knew her weakness all too well. He couldn't keep his hands off her. He kept caressing her all over and didn't care how much time had passed. Meanwhile, Isabella and Aaron rested for a while and were ready to start round three. It was like they were trying to make up for lost time. Each round lasted longer than the last. Isabella's voice also grew louder. Olivia's body, which had been going back to normal, started to heat up again. There were tears glistening in her eyes. She bit her lip, trying to stop herself from making any sounds. Ethan brushed on her lips repeatedly. He murmured, "You can ask me for it, Liv.""Dream on! We'll see which of us suffers more," Olivia declared with
Olivia didn't want anyone to see her. If word got out, she would be mortified. She could only whisper in Ethan's ear, "I beg you, please."Ethan temporarily stopped all movement. Aaron and Isabella's footsteps were getting closer. They were very close, only separated by a pile of corn stalks. Luckily, the pile of stalks was tall enough to hide both of them. Olivia felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. In contrast, Ethan was very calm. So what if they were discovered? It wasn't illegal to do it with his wife. The breeze blew, and some leaves rustled in the wind. Aaron pointed at the leaves. "Look, I told you it was fine. You're just too jumpy."Isabella came back to her senses. She lowered her head to look at her shoes. "You know why I'm so scared. I don't want the others to find out.""There's nothing to be afraid of. I told you I'll take you away. We'll talk to Madam Wendy. She'll be able to help us. I really like you, Isabella. Let's elope."As th
"Liv, I'm just …""Don't touch me. You're disgusting."Under the moonlight, Olivia's face was filled with tears. Like a sharp knife, the sight pierced Ethan's heart.He thought that Olivia had slightly enjoyed the moment just now. But he could only see disgust on Olivia's face.Ethan's hand was outstretched, intending to comfort her. But now, it hung in the air as he stared at her."Ethan, what right do you have to think that you can come back after barging into my life and leaving without notice? What do you take me for?"We were divorced a long time ago. Shall I explain to you what a divorce means? It means that the couple no longer has anything to do with each other. But what are you doing right now?"Lowering his head, Ethan said in a small voice, "I admit to the mistakes I made, but can't you give me a chance to make it up to you and the children?""I don't need it. We're getting by just fine without you. Ethan, the best compensation you can give me is to stay far away fro
Widening her eyes, Olivia leaped off the bed. She didn't even bother putting on her shoes before opening the door. "What did you say?"Cyril had a panicked look on his face. "I found this in Mr. Miller's room."There was a note left for him, telling him to stay here and focus on recuperating.There was also a thick envelope."When Mr. Miller was poisoned, he thought that he wouldn't survive, so he wrote a will and some letters. This is his letter to you."Olivia took the heavy envelope. Then, she returned to her room and opened it.She immediately saw Ethan's familiar handwriting. Unlike his wild and bold signatures, his handwriting was extremely neat. Every stroke was exquisite like Ethan himself."Liv, by the time you read this letter, I should've disappeared from this world already."When you receive this news, will you be happy or a little sad? Now that I'm at death's door, I realize that I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. My heart is even filled with peace."I wo
