Chapter 787
The fireworks shot up into the sky and made exploding sounds as they burst. The last time there was such a beautiful fireworks show was on Connor's birthday. Marina spent a lot of money to hire professionals to set up that show. It was a pity that Olivia wasn't in the mood to enjoy the show back then. The most beautiful fireworks show she had seen happened when she was 15 years old. Jeff arranged a show for her. Fifteen years old was an age when she had no worries. She was a genius who hadn't been hurt and was hopeful for the future. Back then, Jeff was elegant and gentle. He was her loving father. She could still remember that many people showed up at the Fordham Residence. All of them were there to celebrate her birthday. Snowball was nuzzling against the plum tree and looking at the fireworks above. Jeff said gently, "If you like it, I'll hold a party like this for you every year."But that was the last time she ever had a party like that. She only recalled Jeff

Olivia quickly looked toward the door. "What's wrong?"Logan usually abided by the rules and wouldn't bother her when she was resting. "I … Ms. Fordham, are you asleep? I'm sorry to bother you."Olivia wasn't asleep yet, so she figured she might as well see what Logan wanted. She got up and made herself presentable before she opened the door. "I …"Her voice trailed off abruptly. Logan was holding a cake with some candles on it. The candlelight illuminated his face and flickered in his eyes. "It might be a little late, Ms. Fordham, but birthdays are important. You shouldn't ignore them."It was exactly 11:59 pm at the moment. Logan probably made the cake himself. There were still traces of flour and cream on his face. "Thanks." Olivia was moved. "It's almost 12:00 am. You should make a wish and blow the candle out, Ms. Fordham."She didn't make a fuss and quickly closed her eyes to make her wish. She wanted to be reunited with her children as soon as possible. She bl

Olivia looked at him in confusion, "Is there anything else?"Logan took something out of his pocket. He said shyly, "How can you not get a present for your birthday?"Thai is something I got for myself back when I was out and about, working different jobs. "It's a lucky charm that has kept me alive through several close calls. So, I want to give it to you, Ms. Fordham."Logan held a crescent-shaped pendant in his palm. "That won't do. It's your lucky charm. How can I possibly take it from you?" Logan put the pendant in her hand and said, "Take it. I'm not taking on any dangerous jobs anyway. I hope it brings you some good luck. "It's nothing too precious, so I hope you won't dislike it."Olivia saw that he was adamant about this, and it was a kind gesture."Thanks. I'll gladly accept it." After she closed the door, she examined the pendant closely. The necklace wasn't gold or silver but colored threads. She didn't even know what material the pendant was made of. It did

Keith agreed to her request and promised to sort everything out. Olivia was genuinely grateful for everything he had done for her. On that day, Olivia asked Tasha to make a whole spread of food. She even invited Logan to eat with her. Logan stood at the side anxiously, clearly realizing something was about to happen. "Sit down and eat with me.""But your rules …""Sit."Logan didn't argue. He sat at the table with his back straightened. He didn't eat. Instead, he asked, "Ms. Fordham, do you not need me anymore?"In the past week, Olivia no longer needed a wheelchair. Other than tailing her from a distance, his only function was to help carry stuff. Olivia had noticed long ago. Logan might seem a little slow, but he actually paid attention to detail. "I can already take care of myself on a daily basis. It's a waste of your talents to keep working for me. "Don't worry, I've asked Mr. Rogers to find you a good job." Olivia set those rules initially because she didn't w

Olivia thought Logan would bring Snowball back to her, but she waited until nightfall, and he didn't come. It was fine. She planned to hand Snowball over to Irene before she left, anyway. She was destined to live a life on the road. She couldn't keep Snowball around that much longer. Besides, Olivia felt like her misfortune would spread to the people around her. So, it was best if everyone stayed away. Jeff, Mona, and Snowball were all victims of her misfortune.She didn't want to see anyone else get hurt because of her. Logan was alone, and he was gentle toward cats. Leaving Snowball with him was also a good option. Tasha had some personal issues to tend to, so she went home early. Olivia was the only person left in the spacious yard. The solar-powered lights in the yard lit up automatically and shone on her face. The lights in the condominium weren't turned on. Olivia was sitting at the spot where the light and dark intersected. Her expression was cold. In the pa

Irene rested her head on Keith's shoulder. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched Olivia walk up the ship. "For some reason, I just feel like crying. I feel like Olivia has suffered too much. She left as things were just starting to get better. "And now she will be spending so much time at sea. What if … What if something happens to her at sea?" Keith wrapped his arm around her shoulder and comforted her."Everything will be fine. Tobias has sailed for more than 20 years without any incident. Olivia might have suffered a lot, but her luck isn't that bad. "I've worked as a doctor for so many years. Fortune had to have smiled on her for her to survive what she had gone through. "She has already been through so much. Things will get better for her. Every dog has its day, after all.""I hope so. I don't understand why she would go back to Aldenvine at the risk of being discovered. It's much safer here, far away from Ethan." Irene sighed. "She must have something important

Right after they met, Olivia asked, "Is Snowball doing okay?""It's doing fine. I've entrusted it to one of my friends. They'll take good care of it. Mr. Rogers didn't trust others to take care of you, so he sent me.""I'll be in your care."Olivia turned around and walked into her room after she said that. Was she imagining things? She didn't feel a shred of joy after being reunited with Logan. In fact, she had a weird feeling, like this person wasn't supposed to show up here. But his appearance was completely justified. Olivia's intuition was telling her that she should stay away from him. It was never good to stay with someone you didn't know too well for too long. Subconsciously, she wanted to stay away from Logan. In the following days, she mostly kept to herself in her room. She didn't even go outside for meals. Logan would bring the meals to her, and she would thank him and close the door. They barely even talk every day. Logan's expression was unchanged. He did

The food for dinner was on the sour side. Olivia didn't like that but took a few bites of everything. In the following days, there were more sour foods in the meals. She couldn't take it anymore. She called Logan over and said, "There have been too many sour dishes recently. I'm a little tired of them.""Alright, Ms. Fordham. What do you prefer? I'll note it down and tell the kitchen."Olivia observed his expressions carefully. But his mannerisms and movements didn't resemble Ethan at all. Even if Ethan were the only one who knew her so well, he wouldn't drop everything to stay by her side. Besides, he was a proud man. He wouldn't be so subservient.Olivia had observed Logan for a few days but found nothing suspicious. She started to relax and stopped distancing herself from Logan. The days out at sea were indeed dull. Even if the view was great, it got old after an extended period of time. Olivia was sitting on the deck. The sunset was most beautiful at this hour. The
