Chapter 820
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

The man's mouth was stuffed with someone's used sock, his face filled with terror.After all, he had only boarded the ship in search of excitement. He felt that the woman's figure was his cup of tea, so he just gave a suggestion. Did they have to treat him like this?The passengers on the ship were all indecent fellows. Why was this guy pretending like he was different?When Ethan removed the sock, the man hastily begged, "Sir, I was just kidding. Look how worked up you are! You don't have to play with us, alright?""Hah." Sneering, Ethan took off the man's mask. "I'll play with you then."The masks hid their shame. If someone removed the masks, it would be the same as stripping them naked and throwing them out into the streets.Ethan knew that face. The man was a renowned entrepreneur in Aldenvine.The media claimed that he was a man who loved his wife and children. His children were quite distinguished as well. But this successful man was doing such horrible things in the sh

Reaching out, Ethan caressed Alicia's head. In recent times, she had been getting closer to him. Other than the fact that she didn't call him her dad, he was no different from a father to her."It's freshly baked. Have some," he said.Olivia shook her head in exasperation. "Don't spoil her too much. Eating too much sweet food will give her cavities.""It's okay, it's just a small piece." His gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to how he treated outsiders.Olivia wondered if it was just her, but she felt that Logan was quite different from when she first met him.But when she thought more about it, it seemed normal. After all, who would reveal their truest selves on the first meeting?"Is everything arranged already?" Olivia asked."Yes." Ethan continued, "By the way, Ms. Fordham, this is the layout of the ship. Take a look."Olivia felt that the ship was quite big when she boarded it. But when she looked at it in detail, she realized that it was indeed enormous.The lowest

Kelvin behaved like a vain woman who just spotted branded purses and clothes. "Brent, look at this! It'll be so cool to use this in close combat."Brent, buy these for me. I also want this one and that one."Brent fell silent.Ethan took a small handgun meant for women. The merchant enthusiastically introduced, "You have a good eye. This is the latest model. It has low recoil, so it's especially suited for women.""I'll take it. And this too." Ethan eyed a compact portable dagger. It would hide very well.After picking out some weapons, he went to the herb area.There were quite a lot of people in the area. They even looked like they were peddling goods at a market.Many drugs were prohibited in the country. But laws didn't exist here, only money and greed. If they had enough money, they could have all their desires fulfilled.There were no auctions tonight, so Ethan could only browse the various counters."What do you fancy, sir? I have quite the variety here," someone call

Kelvin stared at Ethan from the back. He couldn't help but feel bad for him. He was simply too pitiful.When Ethan agreed to marry in the beginning, it was just because of a promise. He had never once touched Marina. Through it all, Olivia was the only woman he had ever slept with.Kelvin was different. Even though he was single, he had many ways to let it out.But Ethan was fully devoted to one woman only. If they couldn't get back together in the future, he would have to be alone for life. When Kelvin thought about that, he pitied Ethan."Brent, why don't we buy a life-sized doll for Mr. Miller? They have a lot of lifelike ones these days, so it's not considered a betrayal, right?"Brent was exasperated. "If you're so eager to die, I won't stop you."Kelvin said sadly, "I was just being considerate of Mr. Miller. If he keeps holding it in, will he break down someday? This won't do, Brent. You have to come with me to buy something for him. He shouldn't continue keeping it in.
