Chapter 1195
Olivia had just ended her video call with Zack when Ethan's call came in.Olivia hadn't contacted Ethan in weeks, but now, she could hear his voice. "Liv."He seemed to be in a spacious area, and she could hear the cold wind howling."I'm here." Olivia wanted to ask where he was, but she thought that he might be carrying out some top-secret military mission, so she didn't ask."Did you miss me?" Ethan's voice was a little hoarse. He must be somewhere extremely cold.Olivia had been there a few times before. Even a breath of the freezing air threatened to blow up her lungs."It's not that bad.""You're not adorable at all, Liv. Unlike you, I missed you a lot."His hoarse voice had given him some extra manly charm instead. Olivia felt her heart shivering in a good way.In the past, she would think of Ethan every waking hour if she couldn't see him. But now, she wouldn't do that. She had a lot of her own business to attend to.Ethan used to be like indispensable air and water to

Ethan hurried back. Finally, at noon the next day, he arrived in Aldenvine.He didn't even bother to go home and wash up. Instead, he headed toward the Heath residence right away. With the cold and bloody smell surrounding him, he appeared in Mason's study.Olivia was making tea, whereas Mason was reading a book.Ethan strode in. When his gaze fell upon Olivia, some tenderness appeared in his cold eyes."Mr. Heath, it's fortunate that your orders were not disgraced. The mission was accomplished."Mason closed his book. He had already received a detailed report last night. He gave Ethan a look of approval. "You've done well. It's getting late, so feel free to stay behind for dinner."Perhaps because Olivia was around, he didn't talk too much about work.If it were before, Ethan would decline without hesitation. If he stayed for dinner, Krystal would most probably be attending as well. But things were very different. Olivia was here, so he was elated."Pardon my intrusion, then

Mason had blocked off every path!Even Olivia's fingers were already on Ethan's zipper. She met Ethan's complaining gaze. "Um… I'll be heading there for now."Ethan grabbed her in a hug. "How are you going to make it up to me?""Just hang in there. We'll find another chance.""Don't you miss me at all? Not even one bit?"She didn't have such high demands in this aspect. After he left, she indeed hadn't missed him one bit. But as soon as he kissed her just now, she felt like she was a little affected.Olivia coughed lightly. "Well, a little."She took the initiative to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Be good. Go home for a shower.""I'll come over at night."Olivia bit her lip. "Sure."After she smoothed out her clothes, she left under Ethan's pining gaze.As expected, the maid was dutifully waiting at the door. Olivia returned to Mason's side.Mason glanced at Olivia's slightly welling lips. Even Olivia's ears had reddened.She had given birth to a few children already, but

Olivia had no idea what exactly happened back in their time.But every time she saw Mason gazing at the painting, or when she noticed Mason zoning out as he gazed at her face, she knew that Mason must have loved her grandmother dearly.As the sky darkened, Krystal arrived at the Heath residence.Tatiana frowned when she saw Krystal wearing more clothing than usual. "What's with all the clothes?""I didn't want to catch a cold. Mom, I missed you so much." Krystal hugged Tatiana as she spoke in a spoiled manner."Oh, you. Don't do anything to make me sad anymore, alright? Do you know how worried I was about you?""Mom, I know. I mean it."Taking Krystal's hand, Tatiana said, "By the way, you said that you're giving me a surprise, right? Where is it?"Tatiana even looked behind Krystal, but she didn't see anything Krystal might have brought back."You'll know soon enough." Krystal had a mysterious look on her face.Tatiana kept reminding her, "Remember your lesson from before, a

Linus was about to reply when he saw Olivia walking over to them from far away. He waved at Olivia, saying, "Come here, Liv."Krystal muttered in suspicion, "Mom, since when has my brother gotten so close to her?"She didn't quite like that feeling. Linus had always been a cold man, and he especially avoided women.For the past few years, the person he was closest to was none other than Krystal herself. But Krystal noticed the gentle expression on Linus' face when he talked to Olivia.She didn't believe that Linus would be interested in Olivia after learning that Olivia was a divorcee.Olivia nodded politely at Tatiana. "Hi, Mrs. Heath, Ms. Heath."Tatiana didn't dare to cause trouble in recent days, and she was comparatively decent to Olivia. She greeted indifferently, "Hello, Ms. Fordham."Only Krystal snorted. She could only refrain from provoking Olivia, but she would never be nice to Olivia.Olivia's identity wasn't revealed yet. So, in front of other people, she addre

Yale wondered if Olivia had married Ethan again.Even if they had reconciled, the dinner tonight was a family matter. Why would an outsider like Ethan be here?Perhaps Ethan had just returned and was reporting the results to Mason. It was the only reason Yale could think of.The two simultaneously opened their car doors and got out of their cars. They were both wearing long wool coats, and they were of similar height. But Ethan exuded a colder air than Yale.Without any outsiders around, the two didn't even want to maintain peace on the surface. Their expressions were cold, and they looked down on each other.They strode into the Heath residence at once. The people following them felt that the two were even colder than the weather."It's a family dinner tonight. Don't you think that your presence here is quite odd?" As Yale walked alongside Ethan, he attacked the latter.Ethan sneered. "If you are aware that this is a family dinner, what right do you have to be here? Isn't

The fork in Tatiana's hand dropped onto the table with a thud. She had never imagined that Krystal would do something like this.Krystal wanted to be with Yale? Was she out of her mind?Tatiana's expression turned foul. She even thought that she was hallucinating, and she must have misheard.Unexpectedly, Krystal curved her lips into a faint smile. "Dad, Mom, I've finally realized who has been truly good to me."In the past, I did so many things for a man who didn't deserve my love, but I overlooked the man who truly loved me. I'm not a young child anymore. In the future, I just want to live happily with Yale."Tatiana felt like she was having a heart attack. Taking a deep breath, she drank some water to calm herself down. She was suppressing her urge to end Krystal's life right then and there.When Krystal finished speaking, she noticed her mom's foul expression. The others were eerily silent as well.There was no trace of dissatisfaction on Ethan's face caused by her revenge.

Mason's gaze was cold as he tightened his grip on the glass cup.Olivia sensed that he was close to exploding, so she immediately patted the back of his hand. "Mr. Heath, please have some more water."At this moment, Mason was even tempted to fling the glass onto Krystal's face!Suppressing the rage in his heart, he forced himself to say calmly, "So you think getting pregnant outside of marriage is something to be proud of?""Mr. Heath, you can blame me—"Mason threw his glass at Yale's feet. "She's being immature, and now you too, Yale? Or are you two just trying to cause trouble for me?"If word of her pregnancy out of wedlock gets out, how will everyone look at our family?"Krystal argued, "Dad, it's about time you changed your old-fashioned mindset! Many women get pregnant out of wedlock and get married while they're pregnant these days."Yale and I are truly in love with each other. Also, haven't you been urging Linus to get married and have kids? I have a child now, and y
