Olivia smiled. "We didn't get back together."Jack put on an expression that said, "Do I look like a fool to you?"Olivia shrugged. "Alright, fine. We're not remarrying, but we slept with each other.""You're quite honest about that.""I'm a normal woman too. Isn't it normal for me to have certain needs?" Olivia was a little simple and naive around Jack.Their relationship was more akin to siblings than lovers.Jack had helped her a lot through the years, and Olivia had already thought of him as a family member she could depend on.He said that his family was dead, and she didn't have family members either."It's surprising that he's willing to let you go.""He has no choice even if he's not willing to do it. The situation now isn't something he can control."Olivia sat down next to Jack. Then, she elbowed Jack in the chest. "What about you? You're old enough. Don't you have any needs in that aspect? How do you deal with them?"Jack gave her a sideways glance. Olivia raised
Olivia lay on the large bed of about 6.5 feet. A soft mattress cushioned her.Olivia had no idea if she was too excited or elated, but either way, she didn't feel like sleeping at all.She had been living with Ethan for the past few days, so she was already used to his warm embrace.After tossing and turning in bed for an hour, not only was Olivia not sleepy at all, but her mind was even clearer than before.Putting on a coat, Olivia grabbed the keys and went downstairs. She headed for the garage. Not long after, a stylish black coupe sped along the road.…After dealing with problems for the whole day, Ethan glanced at his watch. Rubbing his temples, he returned to his bedroom.He had just opened the door when he keenly sensed the faint alcohol scent in the room.Someone was here!Before he could make a move, a shadow leaped toward him from the darkness.As the familiar scent invaded Ethan's nostrils, surprise and joy colored his eyes. "Li—"The woman had already sealed his
After taking a shower and freshening herself, Olivia walked to the wardrobe. The clothes inside the wardrobe were all newly added for her.When Ethan woke up and leaned against the bed, he saw Olivia sitting at the dressing table and putting on makeup.At that moment, he felt as if they never separated in the first place.Everything was just like what it used to be.Olivia was applying blusher on her cheeks when she noticed the image of another person appearing in the mirror. Ethan hugged her from behind.She could feel the warm temperature of his chest on her back. Ethan bit her ear gently as he asked, "You're dressed so nicely, Liv. Who are you meeting?"She wasn't wearing the mask, which meant that she would be seeing someone with her original face.Her makeup wasn't too heavy. It was the popular natural-looking makeup. There was glitter under her eyes, and she exuded a pitiful look.Ethan remembered that Olivia didn't like such makeup. It was too pretentious for her.After
Stepping on the gas pedal, Olivia headed out. Ethan glanced at the license plate number.Back then, he had given Olivia lots of houses and cars.But this sports car wasn't under his name.Olivia rarely drove in the past. Even if she did drive, she only preferred low-profile cars.She had changed a lot in the past few years.Ethan wondered who she was going to meet today.He sighed. If he knew this was going to happen, he wouldn't have agreed to it so easily."Mr. Miller, everyone is waiting for you. You should set out now." Brent's voice rang out behind him.Ethan almost forgot that he had a bunch of problems to solve.He wiped the lipstick smear away from his lips. When he turned around, he had returned to normal. "Let's go."…Olivia parked the car beforehand. Then, she lowered her sunglasses and took out the face foundation from her bag, fixing her makeup.As she gazed at her perfect reflection in the mirror, her lips curved.She was innocent and captivating enough.To
He had met the woman six years ago. More accurately, he had seen lots of photos of her, and he knew everything about her.He knew how outstanding she was, how many prizes she won when she was younger, and how many people courted her when she grew up.He also knew that in the end, she abandoned her future for a man, and she got married early on.But then, the man she loved abandoned her, and she was heartbroken every day.In reality, the two had met before, but back then, his face was hidden in the darkness.The first time he saw her, she was wearing a nightgown. With a protruding tummy, she crashed weakly on the carpet. He had been holding a gun aimed directly at her heart.She was Olivia Fordham, one of the targets he was tasked to kill.The woman who had disappeared into thin air suddenly appeared in front of him. Warren was quite surprised by that."You're Alice …"Olivia tucked her hair behind her ear as she put on a confident and bold smile. "I guess I haven't introduced
Everly once said that if Olivia was willing enough, no man in this world would be able to say no to her beautiful face.Humans lived by sight, after all. Appearances would always be an important factor when they were looking for a partner.Falling for a beautiful person was only a matter of time.Warren was stunned.Behind Olivia was a view of the large church in the snowy background. Olivia was sweet and refreshing, and when she smiled at him, Warren could feel his heart skipping a beat.Realizing that this wasn't a good sign, Warren shifted his gaze to the box. "What is this?""Open it and see for yourself."It was a wooden box that didn't look too expensive. But when Warren opened the box, his expression instantly changed.A white edelweiss lay quietly in the box.It was a flower that only existed in legends. Because it grew at high altitudes, humans couldn't get somewhere that high up.So, not many people knew about the flower, and it was also extra precious for that reas
Olivia ordered enough food to fill their table. Many of the dishes were Warren's favorites.Warren was a little stunned. "How did you know that I like these dishes?""You told me before that your mother came from the south, so you probably enjoy southern cuisine. It's not that hard to guess." Olivia knew where exactly to draw the line.She generously shared with him what she saw overseas. She saw for herself auroras, icebergs, deserts, and oceans."Varren, have you seen snow in the desert? It's amazing. You'll feel like only two colors are left in the whole world."Like a child, she happily described those beautiful sceneries. When the steak was served, Olivia finally stopped talking."Sorry, I don't have many friends in Aldenvine, so I spoke a little too much at our first meeting. You won't mind, will you?"Warren shook his head. He had seen those sceneries before, but when Olivia described them like that, he suddenly felt like his gray past was injected with color."It's okay
Olivia sobbed so hard that she could hardly catch her breath.A beauty like her looked more pitiful when crying. Meanwhile, the person who made her cry was just right in front of her.It put Warren in a difficult position. Unless she was an actress, she wouldn't have been able to fake such tears. "Don't cry. We can't bring the dead back to life. I'm so sorry for your loss."Choking with tears, Olivia wiped her tears off with a tissue. She apologized, "Sorry for raining on your parade. It's just that … whenever I think about my friend …"He handed her a few more tissues and comforted her.The sound of her crying gradually softened. She caressed Warren's head. "I have a long route ahead. I have to take it somewhere farther to fulfill our promise.""You said you have kids, so are you married? If so, I don't think it's a good idea that we're meeting alone."The glint in her eyes dimmed. "No, I lost them, and I'm divorced."Before she could continue her sad story, a man in w
