Chapter 822
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.

Ethan glanced behind him. Kelvin and Brent were missing.Before this, he was able to drink alcohol without any worries because those two were around. But now, they were nowhere to be found, so Ethan was faced with this situation.The woman in front of him thought that with her looks and figure, no man would be able to resist her charm.But when Ethan turned to look at her, she didn't see any trace of desire in his eyes. There was only endless majesty and coldness.He was the one sitting, and she was standing. But they gave off immensely different vibes.Ethan supported his head with a hand. He looked like a king sitting on his throne, looking down on everything beneath him.She felt like she was a mere insect in his eyes.But the woman refused to surrender. She thought that this was all because the drug hadn't kicked in yet.She sashayed closer to Ethan, trying to get close to him. She refused to believe that her figure, which she took pride in, did not affect him at all.If

Taking advantage of his height, Ethan covered the switch with his hand and blocked Olivia's actions.He didn't want her to see his embarrassing appearance right now."Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. I'm fine, I swear. You should go and keep Ms. Alicia company."The more he tried to hide something, the more Olivia was worried about him. She was sure that this man had gotten hurt, but he hid it on purpose so that she wouldn't worry about him.The man had stopped her from turning on the lights and in her panic, Olivia reached out to touch his body.Ethan, who was at the breaking point of his endurance, almost lost control. He said in a suppressed tone, "Don't touch me.""Then tell me what exactly happened to you.""I'm fine."But Olivia refused to believe it. His body was drenched in sweat, so he must have suffered a serious injury. If not, he wouldn't have sweated so much from the pain.But where was his wound?Olivia kept groping around. Unable to endure it anymore, Ethan su
