Chapter 451
Standing behind Olivia, Mona noticed that Olivia had been hesitating for a long while. There was a puzzled expression on her face as she asked, "Ms. Fordham, are the clothes not nice enough?""No, they all look very nice. I'm just feeling a little sad."Mona didn't know about the history between Olivia and Ethan. So, she couldn't understand what the sadness meant."Choose one for me." Olivia decisively looked away. She was too used to wearing cheap clothes, so she only felt at a loss when faced with those luxurious outfits.Standing in front of the wardrobe, Mona picked out the clothes as she muttered, "Ms. Fordham, you have a good figure, and you're good-looking, too. You even have fair skin."You're just like a model, so you'd look good even if you're wearing a sack."She selected a white dress. It had an elegant design and was well-tailored, too. It looked graceful in every aspect."This one, then. I think it suits you very much, Ms. Fordham."Olivia put on the white dress. Smilin
Chapter 452
Mona was a kind-hearted woman. Even though she didn't come from a rich family, she was always positive and hardworking.Olivia saw shadows of her past self in Mona. She was like the sun, and she lived every day cheerfully. It was as if she would never be defeated by anything."Just curve your lips a little, like me. When you're in a good mood, your baby will be happy too."It might be due to Mona's warm smile or the mention of the child, which had struck the softest chord in Olivia's heart. Olivia placed her palm on her tummy, the corners of her mouth subconsciously turning up.At that moment, sunlight shone on her face. Olivia, who was filled with a mother's love, was indescribably beautiful."I told you you look great when you smile. Ms. Fordham, you're the most exquisite person I've ever met. If you join the entertainment industry, you'll be super successful."Olivia shook her head in exasperation. In the past, her dream was to be a doctor. If her future …She couldn't

Olivia's voice was firm and decisive. It was obvious that she no longer had any love for him; she only harbored hatred."I know."If Olivia had spoken those words in the past, Ethan would be furious. But now, there wasn't even a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He only felt remorse."As long as I'm alive, I'll be thinking of ways to exact revenge. "Ethan, stop wasting your time and effort. You're one of my enemies as well.""Liv, I only want to treat you well."While they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, he held the fruit tea to her mouth. "It's sweet and sour. The taste is quite nice."Unable to withstand the temptation, Olivia took a sip. After getting pregnant, she was fond of sweet and sour foods.Oranges and passion fruits were her favorites. If paired with limes and grapefruits, the refreshing taste would be heavenly.She couldn't get enough of it with just a sip. Holding the cup, she continued drinking. The sweet and sour taste eased the n

As the weather turned warmer, the fireflies were also becoming more active. Their glow dotted the silent night.A cool breeze blew past, and Olivia sneezed.It was only then that Ethan straightened up. He walked toward her with a glass bottle in his hand.He must have been catching the fireflies for a while now. There were around a dozen fireflies in the glass bottle.It wasn't as magnificent as the one on the island, but the blinking lights in the bottle were still quite pretty."Are you hungry?" Ethan naturally passed the bottle to her, but Olivia didn't take it. He casually hung it on the tent. Then, he took off his coat and draped it over Olivia's body."It's getting warmer, but it's still cold in the mountains. "You didn't eat much for dinner, so you must be hungry. Look what I prepared for you."Olivia looked at him and frowned. "Why did you bring me to a place like this?"Taking her hand, Ethan led her to the roll-up table. "There may be an Aquarid meteor shower

The air between the two seemed to stiffen. Ethan's voice was a little hoarse. "Liv, what if I told you I never betrayed you?""You never betrayed me?" Olivia sneered. "Then tell me, who are Connor's parents? His face is almost the same as yours."Are you going to tell me that Marina referenced your face while sculpting him out of clay?"Ethan said, "This is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. Connor is—"Before Ethan could explain it, his phone rang. It was a customized ringtone he set specially for Marina.This used to be the ringtone Olivia feared the most. It didn't matter what she was doing with Ethan at that moment. As soon as the ringtone sounded, he would abandon everything and run toward Marina.Olivia looked at him with a mocking expression on her face. "Why aren't you picking up? What are you scared of? "I'm not your wife anymore, so I don't even care about—"Ethan rejected the call right away. Holding Olivia's hand again, he had a serious expressio

Olivia realized that it was a meteor.She had waited many times for meteors since she was young. Even after staying up countless nights, she never managed to catch them.But the meteors had come so suddenly tonight that she didn't even prepare for it.When she came to her senses, she had already put her palms together. There was a single thought on her mind: she wished for Connor to be safe.Olivia opened her eyes. Brilliant silver light filled her vision. The white meteors dragged their long tails behind them. One by one, they streaked across the vast expanse of the sky.It was breathtakingly beautiful.Olivia felt like she was dreaming. But it was true; she was in the middle of a meteor shower.She couldn't care less about not seeing Ethan ever again. She was only thinking of the baby in her tummy.Olivia made two wishes. Firstly, she wanted Connor to be safe. Secondly, she wished that she could give birth to the baby without any problems.When Ethan was rushing

Connor's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'mommy'. Gripping the seatbelt with his tiny hands, he mumbled, "Mommy, Mommy."Now that things had come to this point, Ethan no longer wanted to hide the truth about Olivia's child back then.He wondered if she would be glad to know that the child hadn't died and that the child had been alive and well. Perhaps she wouldn't hate him that much then.While Ethan was driving, his phone rang. He answered the call. Brent's stern voice sounded over his Bluetooth earphones. "Bad news, Mr. Miller.""What is it?""We fixed the hacked surveillance cameras. Master Connor's fall wasn't an accident. "Someone pushed him. If Master Connor wasn't agile enough to stop rolling, he might have gotten a worse ending."Ethan felt his heart skip a beat. Marina was transferred to a private hospital. The hospital had built a huge spiral staircase for aesthetic purposes.If Connor rolled from the top of the staircase to the bottom, the results would b

When Connor heard that, he immediately began to cry. He shouted, "Mommy, want! Want Mommy!"Connor was a good child, and he rarely cried. But when it came to Olivia, he would cry sorrowfully.Ethan sighed helplessly. "One last time, then. We have to leave right after seeing Mommy, okay?"Connor didn't understand what Ethan meant. But he was happy as long as he could see his mother. There were still tears on his face as he nodded obediently.Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears in the corners of Connor's eyes. He also wiped Connor's saliva while he was at it. "Come, let's go see Mommy."The dim yellow lights blinked around the inflatable tent, looking like little stars.Connor should have been fast asleep at that hour, but at that moment, his eyes were wide in excitement. Before they even arrived, he wriggled out of Ethan's arms. Then, he ran toward the tent with his short legs.Olivia didn't feel like sleeping. She was sitting on the rug, counting the stars in the sk
