Chapter 816
Olivia frowned. She was still worried about Zack. Although Jack was with him, they had left in a rush. Not to mention, it had been raining. Were they okay?But Olivia knew that worrying didn't help. As things were, she couldn't contact Jack in the foreseeable future even if she went back to Arlandia. "Alright. I'll wait for a little longer then." She agreed.Alicia was with her, so Jack would definitely reach out to her. But the most important thing she needed to do now was to nurse herself back to health. Alicia was a very well-behaved child. She never complained and wasn't a picky eater. She had no bad habits that were typically seen in children her age. Olivia was happy every day she was with Alicia, but she also felt sad for her. The reason why a child would be so well-behaved was because she had been through a lot of hardships. Why else would a child be so obedient? Children who have been through a lot are usually the obedient ones. Olivia wasn't blaming Jack. She

Olivia's thoughts drifted far away. Her mother left her at a young age and she grew up in a single-parent family. Her father had been nothing but good to her. He gave her the best life and education he could. He taught her how to be generous, kind, and cheerful.But there were a lot of things that Jeff couldn't make up for, like the family sports days at school. There were a lot of activities that required both parents to complete together. Ever since Olivia was young, she has been envious of other people who had their mothers to hold their hands, cook them meals, and pick out their clothes. She always envied other people who had their mothers, no matter how outstanding she already was. Olivia swore she would take good care of her children when she had them. She would give them all the love she could and never let them grow up in a single-parent family. Then, she fell in love with Ethan at first sight. Initially, the feeling was mutual. Olivia felt like he was a man she

They ended up staying on the island for over a month. Life there was simple yet fulfilling. Olivia's health visibly improved too. Although the tumor in her body was still there, she was more hopeful for the future. Her relationship with Ethan also improved greatly after spending so much time together. She didn't have much energy, so Alicia would play with Ethan most of the time. It was unavoidable for the three of them to have some close contact. Like when Alicia wanted to play at the water park, Olivia couldn't refuse, so she agreed. Olivia had sat by the pool and did not intend to enter the water. Alicia could only look at Ethan. "Come play with me, Uncle Logan," she said.Ethan had been staying away from the water when he was disguised as Logan. He had applied a unique sap on his body that could temporarily change his skin tone without damaging his skin. But the only side effect was that the sap couldn't come into contact with too much water. Otherwise, the color woul

Olivia thought they were done for. It was a private pool, after all. There were no trainers or lifeguards. No one was there to save them in the case of an accident. Ethan had suddenly come from nowhere. He lifted Alicia up with one hand and grabbed Olivia's waist with the other. He then placed Alicia by the pool and turned to look at Olivia. "Are you okay, Ms. Fordham?""Leg, my leg cramped. Let me catch my breath.""Okay. You can hold on to me."Olivia didn't have the luxury to care about being too close to a man. She wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck and waited for the cramp to pass. Ethan wasn't in a rush either. After he made sure Alicia was fine, he stood by quietly and waited. After around ten seconds, Olivia's leg stopped cramping. She sighed in relief and came back to her senses. Then, she realized that her body was pressed against Ethan. She had subconsciously got closer to him while her leg was cramping. The worse thing was that they were facing each other

Olivia calmed down after she washed up. She thought about how she had already been divorced from Ethan. It would be okay even if she married another man. Some intimate contact was nothing. Was she supposed to be a widow for life because of Ethan?Olivia held Alicia's hand as they were about to leave the room. Suddenly, Alicia stopped in her tracks and pointed at some greenish-purple liquid on the floor. "Mom, look."Olivia lowered her head to look. What was that? It looked like mulberry juice, but they didn't eat any mulberries that day. The cleaner came to clean up the room in the morning too. Why would there be such a significant stain on the door? Olivia opened the door and realized the floor had been mopped. However, it was still wet. The staff reminded them to be careful because the floor was wet. Olivia asked in confusion, "I thought you cleaned in the mornings and evenings. Why did you clean in the afternoon today?""It's because a server tripped and dropped food

Olivia counted the days. Logan had been with her for around half a year. They went from being distant to him becoming a full-time nanny for her child. He helped care for Alicia without any complaints and she had long since dropped her guard with him."I …" But Olivia was reluctant to tell him. The story was too long, and she didn't know where to start. "It's okay, I'm very tight-lipped. I'll never tell anyone else."Olivia glanced at Alicia and said, "Maybe later.""Okay." Ethan wasn't in a rush. He waited for around half a year for her to open up. He didn't mind waiting for a while longer. He sat by the flowerbeds and waited for her while Alicia was taking her nap. When Olivia walked over, he stood up. "Ms. Fordham.""No need to stand. Let's sit and talk.""Okay."Ethan had prepared a glass of juice for her. They sat under a parasol as the sea breeze blew toward them gently. Olivia took a sip. It was fresh lemonade. The taste was refreshing with a sour tinge. "Are yo

Olivia's voice wasn't loud, but her words were deafening. Ethan didn't have a response to them. It was true. He had hurt her so deeply. Why would she ever come back to him? He was being delusional.A hint of uneasiness flashed on Olivia's face when she noticed Ethan had fallen silent. "I'm sorry. I lost my composure for a bit.""No, I think a man like your ex-husband could die a hundred times over, and it still wouldn't be enough to make up for the pain you felt.""I just hope that I don't meet him ever again," Olivia replied.Ethan composed himself and said, "I understand now. We have to sneak into Aldenvine without him noticing, right?""Yeah. That's why I tried to sneak onto Tobias' ship. It was unfortunate that we encountered pirates. We have to find another way now that the cargo ship is no longer an option. "Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. Leave it to me."Olivia had only wanted him to help come up with an idea. She looked at him in surprise. "Can you really pull it off

This route was more befitting of Logan's character. It wouldn't rouse Olivia's suspicions."A shady ship? Is it safe?" Olivia asked."I've already informed my friend beforehand. As long as we stay in the room and avoid messing with anyone else, we'll be fine. We won't participate in any activities on the ship. We're just hitching a ride."In her subconscious mind, Olivia wasn't quite willing to get on a ship like that. She feared that it would be dangerous, but this was one of the very few ways for her to go back."Alright." She agreed."Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. I'll protect you guys."Olivia nodded, putting more trust in him now.After spending the last three days on the island, Ethan prepared a wig and a mask for Olivia."Ms. Fordham, most of the passengers on the ship aren't good people. Ordinary people like us might raise suspicion, so we have to pretend to be a married couple."As for Ms. Alicia, she'll have to put up with it."Ethan paused for a moment. "Normal childre
