Chapter 1289
Ethan could overhear the conversation. Olivia nudged him by the arm, whispering into his ear, "Henpecked by your wife, huh?""I gladly take that as a compliment." He pulled her into his embrace.His overt advances rendered her cheeks red while he was unbothered.His fingers pinched her cheek lightly. "Why are you still so shy? You're not a kid anymore."Olivia had always been shy when it came to this kind of thing.After all, they kept their relationship under the radar when they first got together. It was never disclosed publicly, so she couldn't get used to it in a short time.Wayne, who walked out of the room, watched the couple share sweet nothings. Ethan said something that made her blush.Wordlessly, Wayne withdrew himself from the crowd.Alan walked up to him and lowered his voice to report."I tested her. She's not Ophelia."Wayne bit a piece of cigarette, his eyes indecipherable. "Are you sure?""Yes. I tested her in many ways, but she didn't show any reflex rea

Ethan was so rough that he didn't even close the window.Keen-eyed, Wayne could see how Olivia was pinned with her hands raised over her head by Ethan from the tower.Red crept up her cheeks, and she craned her neck, all heated by Ethan's touch.He carried her to the bedroom. The night was still young for them.Wayne lit a cigarette. Ethan liked Olivia more than the rumors had it.Acting could be fake, but not the gaze. Ethan's eyes were smitten with love.It was 3:00 pm by the time Olivia woke up. The ruined dress on the floor elicited a frown between her brows. "It was such a pretty dress."Ethan, who smelled like mint after a bath, planted a kiss beneath her ear. "I'll buy you another one. You can buy as many as you fancy.""Really?""From now onward, my time is yours. Let's go. I'll take you to the capital."They changed from their tailored outfits into matching couple sets. He removed his mask. Then, they explored the exotic place with their hands intertwined.When

Ophelia approached Wayne with ulterior motives, but she genuinely saw him as a patient.She even prepared his medicine for him before disappearing. If she were cruel enough to him, he wouldn't have been this unresolved.Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Ophelia's face. Just where on earth did she go?The solemn sky somehow made Olivia restless.She was afraid that something would come up and they couldn't leave Carathia tomorrow.Ethan read through her mind and comforted her, "Don't worry, Liv. I'll take you out of here."It was a rare moment he didn't act up with his naughty hands today.His arms cloaked her with warmth, and sleepiness found its way to her. She closed her eyes, drifting into dreamland.Before the sky brightened, he pecked her cheek. "Liv, time to get up. Let's go home.""Home?" Olivia's eyes shot up as she sprang up from bed. Drowsiness vanished within seconds."Yup. We're going home." He caressed her cheek. "Don't worry. I'm by your side
Chapter 1292
Wayne dropped the bomb. Ethan could feel the swift change of emotion in Olivia as he squeezed her hand."Friend? I don't recall her having friends in Raka," Ethan replied calmly.She regained her composure. Even if Undecim was in Wayne's hands, betraying the organization was a big taboo in the line.Low-rank assassins might blurt out information under the pressure of threats, but Undecim was an S-rank. There was no way he wouldn't keep his lips tightly sealed.Well, she might've overestimated him, but he didn't know her true identity this whole time. She was cautious.They were partners twice for missions. Friends? They didn't come as close as that.Thus, how would Undecim know her relationship with Ethan?Olivia guessed that Wayne was playing a trick with her.In addition to Ophelia's MIA, Olivia's appearance alone was suspicious enough. As long as she boarded the plane, there was no second chance for Wayne to turn the table anymore.This was his last-ditch effort.As an

Olivia and even Wayne were taken aback by Linus' appearance. What was he doing here?He stood as the pillar of strength and a consoling figure in Arlandia. Why was he away from the country?Besides, Wayne couldn't understand what Linus meant by that, as he thought that Olivia was one of the Fordhams. Even though she was Ethan's ex-wife, the only powerful family she was acquainted with was the Miller family.Astonished, Olivia looked at Linus. "Mr. Linus, what brings you here?"He walked up to her and stroked her head. "I had to handle something, so I stopped by to see you. If I hadn't come over, I wouldn't have known that you were being bullied. Liv, is it this hard for you to mention that you're one of us?"Wayne asked, "She's…"Linus and Ethan stood side-by-side, protecting Olivia behind them. "She's my niece. My father plans to make an announcement soon, but this brat prefers a low-profile life. "Wayne Maxwell, do you think that my family would travel so far away just
Chapter 1294
That remark brightened Alan up. "You're right! Linus said he had something to handle here, but what is there in Carathia that needs his involvement?"He's obviously here to back Ms. Fordham up! If she's really clean, why would she need such an influential figure to side with her? There's something up with her."Too bad we have nothing to prove that she's Septem. She won't verify her identity out of will." His brows creased.Wayne watched the plane penetrate high up the air, his eyes deep. "Even if we discover that she's Septem, do you think we can do anything to her?"It was undeniable that Olivia had stolen his ring, but he honestly thought that it wasn't a huge casualty—aside from the fact that she played with his feelings.The ring self-destructed, but it wasn't difficult to make a new one anyway.Furthermore, his migraine got better, thanks to her. The good he gained outnumbered the losses!Even if Wayne proceeded with the investigation, there was no way he could lay a f

Ethan's brows pursed into a frown. "I went with Liv. If she's done something wrong, we're both held accountable for it."Linus leveled a cold look at him. "The both of you? Who are you to do that with her?"That remark alone reminded Ethan of his position. "Need a reminder that you guys divorced a long time ago?" Linus added, rubbing salt over Ethan's wound.Ethan remained silent. No matter how much he regretted the divorce, nothing could be done to amend it.Without that marriage certificate, nothing bound him with Olivia.She could only bite the bullet and enter the study alone.Mason was painting. He cast her a glance without lifting his head. "You're back."Nothing had been said yet, but the pressure was already weighing on her. The hair on her skin stood.Was this the prestige of someone who wielded power?Her head dipped low instantly. "Sorry, Grandpa."As the good daughter she had always been, she lacked the experience of asking for mercy. But an apology would defini
Chapter 1296
Olivia met Mason's eyes, concerned with her lips pursed. She said in an undertone, "Grandpa, Wayne might've known that I deceived him.""So what if he knows? Didn't you say that the ring self-destructed? Your mission has failed, but his migraine got better. What else is he asking for?"Olivia won the upper hand in this matter. Wayne didn't have evidence, so he couldn't punish her according to the law even if he found out her true identity.Her concern was that he would never let this slide after getting tricked by her. When he did something bad to Arlandia, she would be the sinner."I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble.""Silly you. I heard that you saved Princess Sadie in Dexim City. Do you know that your genuine act has saved several countries from war?""Princess? That pregnant woman is a princess?" Only then did Olivia learn the pregnant woman's identity.No wonder that pregnant women wore so many accessories. Olivia initially assumed that the escaped family abandoned her
