Olivia left on a ship. At the very least, she was calm at that moment.No one could say for sure what would happen in the future. She only had one thought in her mind. She was going home! Her children must have waited for her for a long time.It was snowing heavily in Aldenvine.Ethan had brought the children home. Out of his selfishness, Ethan didn't bring them to the Heath residence to be acknowledged as part of the family.Judging by Mason's personality, he would definitely get the children to stay. It was tough enough for Ethan not to see his wife; he didn't want to be kept away from his kids, either.Ethan brought the children back to the house he and Olivia lived in when they were just married. It was a home that held many unhappy memories for Olivia, but it was also the place where their dreams began.The wedding photo, which Olivia had cut into pieces back then, was hung back in its spot on the wall.Ethan especially took the day off and spent every day with the
Ethan and the children were stunned when they saw Olivia appearing out of nowhere.There were no signs of her return at all, and even Ethan had no idea when she had entered the country.It wasn't Olivia's fault for hiding it on purpose. After all, Leia had already learned of her whereabouts. If she wasn't careful, she might get intercepted.She kept her journey an absolute secret, and she had come back quietly.Zack and Alicia rushed up to her. "Mommy!"Olivia held the children in her embrace. She hadn't seen them for a semester, and they had grown a lot taller.The sound of bells rang in Ethan's ear as Willow struggled out of his arms. She ran straight to Olivia.She couldn't speak, so she could only express her longing by ringing the bells.Ethan had dreamed of this scene many times. But now, with both the children and Olivia around, he felt that this reality was much more wonderful than any dream he could have had."Liv." Ethan stood still in front of her, examining her
Ethan noticed that Olivia had calmed down a lot. He would never forget the intense scene back then when Olivia wanted to perish together with Leia."Alright."Now, he couldn't quite understand Olivia. He didn't know what she was thinking.Ethan skillfully cleaned the fish. He was thinking about the matter with Leia, so he was a little distracted. Hence, he accidentally poked his hand with a fish bone.He didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned as he continued washing his hands."Let me do it. You look quite distracted."Ethan hadn't met his sister in a long time. In reality, even if he spent every day with Leia, there were too many grudges between them. They couldn't return to what they once were in the past.No matter how he interrogated her, Leia never revealed anything useful.She was his sister, after all. He couldn't possibly kill Leia for real.Janice felt guilty about her daughter, so she had been taking care of Leia all these years. If Janice had covered up for Leia o
Ethan had always been clear with his feelings. Back then, when he hated Olivia, he was extremely cold to her. Now, he had sincerely repented, so he couldn't have done something so hypocritical.At least, Olivia didn't blame him for this matter."Liv…"Olivia took his hand and raised it. Then, she gently wiped away the blood on his hand and placed a band-aid on the wound."Come on, the children are still waiting for your food."Ethan lowered his head, meeting Olivia's gentle gaze. His heart ached terribly, and he felt extremely remorseful toward her.He had treated Olivia cruelly back then, but she was still willing to stay by his side and let bygones be bygones.The two interlaced their fingers in the snow as they walked back into the house.Ethan made the meal while the twins ran around outside. Willow was herb-imbued since birth, so she had an excellent physique. However, at that moment, she quietly stayed by Olivia's side.Olivia played chess with Willow. The room was so qu
Olivia turned around, her fair arms wrapping around his neck as she moved her lips closer. "It's okay."Ethan held her waist with one hand as he placed his other hand on the dressing table.His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the contours of his firm forearms.Two buttons on his shirt collar were undone, so his tempting collarbone could be spotted right away.His hair wasn't brushed back. Instead, strands of his hair were drooping a little, and he looked extremely gentle."Liv, I just cooked. I have an odor on me—"He had always been particular about cleanliness, but Olivia kissed him deeply. "Ethan, I missed you."In the room, their shadows gradually melded into one.The snow was silent, and it weighed heavily on the tree leaves. From time to time, the branches would bend and creak under the weight.The next morning, sunlight shone warmly upon the yard.Olivia was extremely tired from the ordeal that lasted until midnight.Before she knew it, chattering soun
Olivia leaned in Ethan's embrace, feeling as if everything was like a dream.She had returned to this house which had brought her joy and endless pain. Undoubtedly, she had shared sweet moments with Ethan when they were just married.Back then, she would learn to cook various dishes at home while waiting for Ethan to come back.She would take care of the flowers and plants in the yard over and over again. She would also wash all the clothes Ethan took off, dry them, iron them, and then place them back in the wardrobe.There would always be a bouquet of flowers on the table, which brought life to the house.After she lost her child, she wept every day. At that time, the house was like a cage that trapped her. She could no longer feel joy.It was especially so for the baby room she had decorated herself. After her incident of falling into the ocean, she would curl up on the small crib as she constantly thought about her premature son.Now, Olivia heard movements coming from that r
Connor looked at the children around him. He quickly identified them. "You're Zack?""That's right, Connor." Zack only reached Connor's chest, so he was much shorter than Connor. He stared at Connor's face curiously.Of the three siblings, Zack was a boy as well, but he looked more like Olivia. Only Connor looked exactly like Ethan! He seemed to have taken after Ethan completely."Hi, Connor. I'm Alicia. You look a lot like Daddy."Connor looked even more like Ethan when he wasn't smiling. With a stern expression on his face, he had an extremely cold look in his eyes. Despite his young age, he had quite a powerful air about him.Alicia looked like Ethan as well, but she was a girl, after all. The sharp features had turned a little gentler on her face.Bells rang out quietly. Connor crouched down and patted Willow's head. "I know. You're Willow, right?"Willow nodded."I'll take good care of you in the future."Willow couldn't speak, but instead of ignoring her, her family pamp
As it turned out, Mason was even happier than expected. He had two children, but Molly had only recently returned to the family. They didn't even know if she could get pregnant in the future.Much less could be said of Linus. He had been single since birth, and he didn't even have a woman he fancied, let alone any plans of expanding the family.Now, Olivia had returned with four children. Mason was so elated that he instantly seemed to have gotten a few years younger. He had a joyous expression on his face."Come, let me have a look at the children."He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. The children ran up to him, saying, "Great-grandpa!""Hello, darlings." Mason was elated. He looked at each child in turn, and his eyes were filled with joy.As Tatiana didn't like Olivia in the past, she definitely wouldn't have liked Olivia's children then either. Now that Tatiana had reconciled with Olivia, she was happy to see the children as well."I've seen these wonderful child
