Chapter 583
Olivia's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Turning to look at Ethan, she said, "You shouldn't say things like that." Ethan looked into the distance and said calmly, "People die all the time. If I get into an accident …""Accidents don't happen that frequently. Stop saying things like that." Olivia felt gloomy. She didn't like the word "accident". She subconsciously placed a hand on her stomach. They spent the rest of the trip in silence. Ethan brought Olivia to the closest mall, and they went shopping. Then, they got some food and watched a movie like a normal couple. It was already past 9:00 pm when they finished the movie. Also, it was getting cold out. So, there weren't a lot of people on the streets.Shiny decorations were hung up everywhere, illuminating the drifting snowflakes. The scene looked very romantic. "Are you cold?" Ethan asked. "It's fine. The car is just a short walk away." Ethan noticed the misty breath she exhaled from her mouth. So, he took off

Olivia was disappointed that she missed on her first try. "It's okay, we still have plenty of chances.""Okay."Olivia tried throwing the ribbons a few more times. She was an athletic woman, so she had enough strength to throw the balls up high. But the balls either scraped the branches before falling, or they missed completely. She didn't even land one successfully after five tries. Olivia wondered if karma didn't allow her to land her ribbons on the tree because she didn't want it to happen. She wasn't worried because Ethan had five ribbons too. She figured it would be a simple task for a man. Olivia shrugged and said, "It's your turn."Ethan threw his first ribbon high up. It was clear he was aiming for the top of the tree. He threw it with just enough force and at the right angle. Strangely, the ribbon landed on a branch, but the ball slowly slid down.Olivia saw Ethan's expression turn cold. She quickly comforted him, saying, "It's just an accident. You'll get it next
Chapter 585
Kelvin couldn't for the life of him understand how the tree could have gotten in Ethan's way. Did Ethan run into the tree while he was shopping? He didn't seem like someone so clumsy, nor did he seem like he would be so petty.Even a child wouldn't hold a grudge against a tree, right? Much less an adult. That didn't fit Ethan's personality. Kelvin had seen Ethan raze his enemies to the ground, but it was the first time they were doing that to a tree. Brent pulled Kelvin over to the side and whispered, "Just follow the orders you were given. Can't you see that Mr. Miller is in a bad mood? Everyone else is trying to avoid angering him, but here you are, making matters worse." "I was just curious. Mrs. Miller has already returned to him. He should be happy. Why would he come out so late at night just to uproot a tree?""Talk less, work more.""Alright, tell the men to start. I'm curious to see if the stories about the tree are real."Kelvin started to direct the excavator with
Chapter 586
Everyone in the vicinity was dumbfounded. Ethan wasn't acting like himself. No one knew why he was so hung up on the tree. Amidst the crackling thunder, sparks flew from the chainsaw in Ethan's hands."Brent, look at that lightning. I'm so scared that it might strike Mr. Miller. Did Mrs. Miller upset him again?"Brent replied calmly, "I don't know if Mrs. Miller is the one who upset him. But only matters relating to Mrs. Miller can make Mr. Miller lose control like this. I'm worried about his current state of mind." "I know, right? Mr. Miller used to be so composed. His emotions were almost impossible to discern. However, after the series of incidents with Mrs. Miller, he has become mentally unstable. I fear that he might become like Mrs. Miller Senior …" "Mrs. Miller can still act as a calming influence when she's by his side. I'm worried he'll lose all reason if Mrs. Miller leaves him. The consequences would be unimaginable if he were to lose control completely."Kelvin furrow
Chapter 587
Only a wall lamp was lit in the large bedroom. Olivia was wearing thin pajamas and was barefooted as she curled up in a corner.Her face was filled with terror. Ethan's heart broke when he saw that, and he dashed up to Olivia."What happened, Liv?"As if grabbing her final lifeline, Olivia threw herself into Ethan's embrace.When Ethan saw the wet trails of tears on her face, his heart ached terribly."Don't cry. I'm back."Ethan's body was still wet, but Olivia didn't mind it at all. She gripped Ethan's arm with both hands. "Tell me, how did our children die?""Why are you mentioning the children again?" Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears on her face."I think I saw a person jump from a very high place."As Ethan comforted her, he patted her back. "It was a stormy night, and the rain was heavy that night. The road was dangerous."The car was out of control, and it veered off the winding mountain road. In the end, it fell into the sea. Is that the image in your mind?"
Chapter 588
Olivia slowly got used to life without memories even though she always felt an emptiness in her heart. Also, she would sometimes stare at a spot and zone out for some reason.But Ethan pampered her greatly. This was proof enough that love could melt everything.Olivia counted the days. She would be going overseas with Ethan in a few days.She heard that in the past, she often traveled around the world on her days off. She had been to many places, but sadly, she couldn't remember any of them now.Olivia fantasized quite a lot about life overseas. She felt like she previously didn't want to stay in this city at all.Before they left, Olivia suggested that they visit the graves of their loved ones. After all, they had no idea when they would be coming back.As soon as winter rolled around, Aldenvine would be covered in snow. It was very cold, and the roads were quite slippery as well. Olivia wore a thick down jacket, covering herself from head to toe.The mountain path was difficul
Chapter 589
Ethan, who used to be extremely patient with her, didn't have any intention of staying at that moment.He kept urging Olivia, "It's someone else's grave. There's nothing interesting to look at. Let's go."Olivia thought that it was bad luck to say such things. Still, she couldn't help but glance at it."Amazing. I would've thought Jodie was a Miller if not for her last name being Ferguson."Olivia repeated the name. "Jodie. Why does that name sound so familiar? Ethan, did I know her in the past?"After Ethan confirmed that Leia was still alive and that he had mistaken Jodie for her, he had the gravestone replaced. All of the information was changed to Jodie's. But Ethan didn't expect Olivia to be so hung up about it.After calming himself, Ethan answered calmly, "No, you didn't."Olivia glanced at the gravestone a few more times before looking away. "I must be overthinking it. There are so many people in this world, so it's normal for some to look alike. Let's go."Ethan took a cloak a

Olivia didn't know what Ethan was planning. She simply allowed the makeup artists to apply various cosmetics on her face.She could hear praises from time to time. "Goodness, your skin is so supple! I can see that Mr. Miller treats you very well.""It's not just your skin too. Even your features are flawless. Seriously, I've done many celebrities' makeup before."It doesn't matter whether they were born pretty or if they worked for it later on, I've never met someone with features as perfect as yours."Olivia was a little stunned by the praise. She asked in a small voice, "Um, where am I going? Why am I being dressed up like this?"The makeup artists were surprised. "Didn't Mr. Miller tell you? Well, then we won't tell you much either. We wouldn't want to ruin Mr. Miller's surprise."Before this, Brent had already told them not to reveal too much. The makeup artists didn't know which parts they should keep secret, so they simply shut up. They quietly dressed Olivia up.Suddenly, an ear
