Chapter 488
Olivia stood at the entrance of the Fordham residence. Different emotions emerged in her heart. Even though the Fordham residence had been repurchased, it was done by Ethan and Marina. Olivia cringed at the thought of that. So, she hadn't been back since. The hydrangeas in front of the yard were in full bloom with various colors and were left untrimmed. Some roses had crept out from the wall, making their way around the old wall.A gust of wind blew over, and the flowers began to sway in the wind. It was a beautiful sight, but Olivia froze in her tracks. "Mrs. Miller, let's go in. Mr. Miller is waiting for you," Kelvin urged. The different emotions going through Olivia's mind were making her reluctant. Before she could open the door, she heard the door swing open. A white cat ran toward her. Snowball purred and started to walk in circles around Olivia. She looked at Snowball, wondering why Ethan would bring Snowball here. Olivia wanted to see what Ethan was trying to pull be

Ethan held Olivia in a tight embrace. She then realized that there were several tall and handsome men behind Ethan. There was the elegant Bryan, the gentlemanly Henry, and a man wearing a mask that covered half his face. The man had a cold demeanor. Olivia thought he might be Lazlo Lyon, whom Ethan had brought up before. Chris Atkins and the cameraman, Jorge, were both smiling as well.Olivia couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to. She was unsatisfied with Ethan's actions but didn't want to cause a scene with so many people watching. It would make both her and Ethan look bad. Everly walked out from the crowd. She was wearing a white dress and had a complicated expression on her face. Apparently, she had just realized what was going on. Olivia lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing?"Ethan set her straight, saying, "Liv, I owe you a wedding."Olivia didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, she was angry. Who did Ethan think she was? Did he think a we

Olivia couldn't help but walk into the room. She was sure it used to be a guest room. But it had been renovated into a big room painted with soft colors. Half of the room was blue, and the other half was pink. The lights were turned off, and the door was closed. Stars appeared overhead. The glow was soft, and there were occasional shooting stars. Some disco lights lit up in the room, and a music box sounded. There was a cradle, a rocking horse, and various toys. There were baby clothes arranged according to the babies' age. The collection ranged from clothes for newborn babies to those for one-year-olds. There was even a designated play area for children with a castle, slides, and swings. Ethan had thought about everything that a baby would ever want. It was even better than the room she designed back then. There wasn't a single parent in the world that could refuse a place like this. Olivia ran her fingers over the baby clothes. Her mind wandered, and tears filled her eyes.

Ethan calmed down and asked, "My sister isn't the culprit?"Ethan thought his relationship with Olivia might be less strained if that was the case."I didn't say that. I asked my father about Jodie a few days ago. She wasn't just a simple victim."Olivia explained the entire incident with Jodie in detail. Ethan frowned and began to recall abnormalities that happened on that night. He had invited Byran and the others out. Something came up, so Byran couldn't make it. There were a few wealthy heirs at the party. Ethan didn't like the atmosphere and came up with an excuse to leave. He felt his body burning up when he left, which made him realize he had been drugged. He had Brent look into it, but too many people were present, so the incident went unresolved. Ethan was surprised to learn that the incident was related to Jodie. "That's right, you were Jodie's target. She had sex with an unknown man after you left and had the baby. My father found her after that, and she was pregna

Ethan saw that Olivia was determined, so he didn't refuse. "It's a little far away. You can rest in the car."Olivia said stiffly, "No need. I'm not tired."She nodded off after ten minutes, and her head was tapping on the car window. Ethan looked at her sheepishly. He wouldn't bite. She didn't have to lean against the window. Reaching out, he pulled her over to him. Olivia opened her eyes and saw what he was doing. She tried to struggle but was too sleepy to do so and quickly fell asleep in his embrace.Her body craved sleep during this period of time, so she slept through the entire journey. Ethan looked at her quietly. It had been a long time since he could sit quietly with Olivia. The past couple of years had been chaotic. He hoped that the time would pass slower. The car drove up a hill, and the sky was completely dark. Olivia began to wake up. She realized that she was in Ethan's arms and quickly moved away. Ethan sighed sheepishly. Olivia's voice was a little hoarse a

Olivia wondered what was happening in the woods. It was clear that this wasn't a random attempt. Leia had help. Olivia felt anxious, but she didn't make a move. She was pregnant, and it was safer to remain where she was. She wondered if Ethan had been shot. As Olivia was deep in thought, she heard another loud bang. A bullet pierced through the darkness and barely missed her face. The bullet was buried in the wardrobe behind her. Olivia froze with wide eyes, unable to move. She just had such a close encounter with death. Then, she noticed a man on a slope not that far away. His range of fire was limited because he wasn't armed with a sniper rifle. Olivia was able to make out the outline of the shooter's silhouette.He was wearing a mask. His figure was tall and slender. The eyes behind the mask met with Olivia's gaze. Olivia called out his name immediately, "Jack, is that you?"The man didn't respond. He gave her a good look before disappearing into the woods. Olivia was sure

That would mean Jack was a mercenary too. What about the weapons he stowed on the island? Brent quickly told Ethan about the danger Olivia was in. Ethan promptly approached her and asked, "Are you hurt?"Shaking her head, Olivia said, "No. I hid after the first shot was fired. Their goal must have been to bring Leia away, so they didn't come after me." "It's no longer safe here. Brent, move Olivia as soon as possible."Ethan was worried that the mercenaries might have rigged the resort. And if they were detonated, no one would have time to escape. "Arrangements have been made. Let's go, Mrs. Miller."Olivia looked like she wanted to say something. "I …""I know what you want to talk about. I'll make time for it later. Liv, I can only tell you that these people are dangerous. If they're really after you, the situation will be dire." Ethan said seriously, "But you don't have to worry. You're still safe for now. Their goal was to take Leia away. I'll arrange for another safe
Chapter 495
Olivia was flown back to the city by helicopter just to be safe. Jeff went up to her as soon as she got home. He wanted to know if she had made up with Ethan."How did it go with Ethan today?"Faced with Jeff's concern, Olivia could only lie, "It went okay, Dad. I told you not to worry. We were together for the whole day.""That's good. I was scared that the conflict between you two would last. The babies are growing every day. They can pick up on your emotions. The family needs to stick together for the children to grow up healthily."Jeff brought Olivia to see his latest work with a smile. It was a gorgeous, handcrafted wooden crib. "Look at this. It took me several days to make this crib. I just finished it." There were cute animals carved on the four corners of the crib. It had also been polished and smoothed. It wouldn't hurt the babies' mouths even if they nibbled on the crib. There was even a crib mobile on it. The crib was very exquisite. It looked as good as anything s
