Even though Olivia was being so docile, he felt a sense of unexplainable mystery to her. That caused him to feel uneasy. It would have been in his nature to hold her captive by his side after he brought her back from the island. But he suppressed his desire to do that. Instead, he gave her freedom and fulfilled her wishes. He even took extra care of Tom and Jerry.He thought that if he did so much for her, she would be so happy that her eyes lit up. In reality, she was calm. There were no emotions in her eyes. No matter how much he did for her, it didn't stir her emotions even a little. Olivia's calm face was reflected in his icy gaze. "Olivia, enough is enough."Ethan's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. "Even if I marry her, it would not affect your position at all."His words sounded like he was doing her a favor. Olivia smiled. The mockery in her smile was apparent. "She already has the position of Mrs. Miller. What else do I have to give?"Before Eth
There was barely any light in the cabinet. Olivia was trembling in fear. She would not have come if she knew how scary it was.A familiar voice suddenly started laughing softly next to her. The person was amused by her fear. The voice resembled someone she knew. At that moment, a prop lamp was turned on. Eerie green light shone on his deathly pale face. Olivia was about to scream, then the voice said, "It's me."Olivia paused and swallowed nervously. She called out his name carefully, "Jack?" "Yeah." The usually reserved man's voice had a hint of joy. "I'm sorry we have to meet this way. I didn't know you were so easily scared."The truth was he had no intention of scaring Olivia. He dressed up as a ghost so that he could evade the bodyguards.He didn't expect to be grabbed and dragged along by Olivia before he could speak. Olivia patted herself on the chest and said, "You scared me to death."Jack has never seen Olivia so frightened, not even when he had a knife ag
Olivia snuck out the backdoor with Jack. She also changed into new clothes. She was surprised by Jack's incredible skill in disguise. He just stuck a few things on her face and easily changed her facial features. He then added a layer of powder and made her look about ten years older. Jack's face was the same. He disguised himself as a middle-aged man. He looked completely different from his usual self. They headed to the Harmony Psychiatric Hospital. Olivia impersonated Belle's distant relative and met the hospital director. Jack did not show himself. He flipped over the metal fence with relative ease. Olivia was shocked at the sight. Even if the fence wasn't electrocuted, there were spikes on top. She didn't understand how Jack was able to pull it off. They decided to divide and conquer. Olivia told the director why she was there. The director displayed a hint of regret. "Sigh, the poor kid was sad. Her parents never visited her even though she was here for su
It was Olivia's first time in a place like this. The room was freezing. The cold seeped in from the bottom and spread through her body. It also felt like countless eyes were looking at her from behind. It took all her energy to remain standing in the room. "Don't be afraid," Jack said softly. Olivia's hands were covered in cold sweat. She said in a low tone, "We want to say our goodbyes.""Okay, but don't take too long. I'll be waiting outside."The employee left. A gust of wind came out of nowhere. It scared Olivia so much that she jumped into Jack's arms. Jack held her waist and sighed lightly. "You're not suited for a place like this. Wait for me outside. I'll be out in a while.""But …"Jack's expression was stern. "I've seen a lot of dead people, all sorts of corpses."Olivia wasn't willing to leave, no matter what he said. Jack said sheepishly, "Alright, you keep your eyes closed. I'll describe to you what I see.""Okay." Olivia agreed to his suggestion. S
Olivia had seen the bodies of old deceased people in the family. But those were different compared to this gruesome body. Even though she didn't get a clear look at Belle's face, it was enough to make her gag. Jack patted her on the back to help her breathe. "Are you okay?""I'm sorry," Olivia said apologetically. "I can understand. People don't normally see dead bodies, much less decomposed ones.""Why aren't you afraid?""I got used to seeing them." Jack's voice was calm. There was a distant look in his eyes. "And living humans are more horrifying than the dead ones." Olivia didn't know what he had been through. He only looked a few years older than her, but he was shrouded in mystery. She knew that he had to have been through a lot of suffering to become like that. Maybe she wasn't the only one that was suffering in the world. Olivia pushed down the fear in her heart and turned on the flashlight. "I'll shine the light for you. Take a look quickly.""Okay. Close y
Olivia was surprised. She didn't expect Ethan to come to fetch her. Although she had entrusted everything to Jack, she was still nervous when she got in the car. She felt like Ethan would be able to see through her right away. After they got in the car, Ethan asked something he had never asked before. "Did you have fun?""It was okay. It was a little scary. Tom was so scared he sobbed."Her expression was calm even though her words were cheery. Ethan calmly withdrew his gaze from her face. He had thought that she would become her old cheerful self if he allowed her to spend time with the boy. Their relationship wasn't the only thing that couldn't go back to the way it was. The same applied to Olivia herself. In the past, when they were sitting together, she would hold his hands and keep talking. It was like her mouth didn't need rest at all.Unlike now, she sat properly. Her fingers were holding onto the armrest. Her eyes were looking out the window. She only spoke u
Olivia asked without hesitation, "Are you not coming back tonight?" Ethan could sense a hint of joy in her serious expression. He was taken aback. Did she feel happy that he threatened not to come home? Olivia did feel a little happy about that. In the few nights that she had slept with him, there were a few times he almost lost control. No matter what he felt toward her, all she wanted was to stay as far away from him as possible. Ethan grabbed her chin and rubbed her lips with his thumb. "You don't want me to come home?"Olivia thought about how annoying she used to be. She said with a serious expression, "You're Marina's fiancé now, and your engagement party is approaching. "You must not fight with her because of me. And if rumors spread about us, it would also impact the Miller Group's stock price."Olivia tapped his hand and assured him, "Don't worry. I will not pester you like I used to. I promise to let you experience a peaceful night."Olivia thought that Ethan
After a few rounds of alcohol on the dinner table, Chris slammed his glass hard on the table. He was a soldier who survived the battlefields. He had an intimidating presence and was exuding coldness. Chris, who was usually reserved, said coldly, "If you don't want to have dinner with us, just get out." Chloe quickly held his hand. She tried to de-escalate the situation with a smile, "Are you listening to yourself? Ethan has finally come to visit."Why are you giving him this attitude? Do you think you're talking to one of your fresh recruits in the army?" She then looked at Ethan with a smile. "Ethan, please don't blame him for that. He is used to being in the army. "He still thinks of himself as a soldier even though he's been out of the army for so long." Marina also chipped in, "Dad, please understand that Ethan is usually very busy. He might have work that he has to deal with."In the past, Chris was happy about Ethan. But he started to feel uncomfortable when he foun
