Chapter 877
Olivia remained silent on the way back. She kept thinking about the days when she and Everly were students. If they had known what would happen to them, would they have cherished their happiness more? Joshua helped carry Alicia out of the car when they got home. Olivia didn't head indoors straight away. She stood under the streetlamp and looked at the swirling snow while deep in thought. "I know you're here."A person walked out from behind the streetlamp. Ethan looked at her from afar and said, "I told you I won't disrupt your life."They looked at each other in silence. Olivia tried to look into his eyes, but she realized she couldn't discern the emotions within. "Thank you for that night."It didn't matter what happened between them. If he didn't find a way to get the money to save her, she would be doomed if she fell into the hands of those people. "It was my fault for letting them get to you, Ms. Fordham."He seemed to have stood there for some time. There was

Olivia went back to her room. Alicia was already fast asleep. She wiped her down with a warm towel. As she left the room, she noticed Logan standing under the streetlamp. He stood there like a fool, looking in her direction. Why would he do something so pointless?The longing for unrequited love would always cut deep. The frustration of love lost was soul-wrenching.Olivia drew the curtains after glancing at him. Since she could promise him anything, she wouldn't give him any false sense of hope. Joshua slowly walked to Ethan and said, "Mr. Miller, you should go. Mrs. Miller is already asleep.""I'll stay a little longer."Ethan stood in the snow and lit a cigarette. He stood still as the snow rained down on him. He left after the cigarette reached its end. The following day, Olivia entrusted Alicia to Joshua and went to the bank alone to make the transfers. She was prepared for the possibility that she won't even be able to leave the bank.The staff were very polite to

The innocent boy didn't know what happened in the past few years. Olivia said gently, "He's out doing business overseas. Did he visit you frequently in the past?""In the first two years, he would help me with my homework personally and look at my paintings. I haven't seen him much in the past two years. "He must've been busy. The last time I saw him was around six months ago. He lost a lot of weight."Norman scratched his head. "About that, Ms. Olivia. I don't know how you feel about Mr. Miller. At first, I thought he was the worst person in the world. "After I got to know him, I realized that he didn't like to talk much, but he is a thoughtful and responsible man."Olivia didn't want to talk about Ethan. So, she brought up the reason for visiting. "Has Jack ever contacted you?""Jack has always been elusive. He visited a few times when I started school, but I haven't seen him since then.""Are you able to contact him?"Norman shook his head. "I have his old number, bu

She knew that handwriting very well. Ethan wrote it. There were at least a thousand ribbons on the tree. "Ms. Olivia, Mr. Miller wrote all of these. I think he loves you very deeply."Olivia didn't reply to that. "I'll go in and check on Martha."Martha looked younger. She felt more at ease as the days got better. She was very welcoming when she saw that Olivia had come. She went to the chicken coop and picked out a chicken. "You're finally here, Olivia. You've lost so much weight. I'll cook this chicken for you. You have to eat it."Olivia couldn't say no. So, she went to the kitchen to help Martha prepare the food. Unexpectedly, the kitchen was completely modernized. Gone were the days when they couldn't even afford to eat meat. "Martha, has Jack come back recently?"As she prepared the ingredients, Martha said, "I haven't seen him in a long time. But he would call me occasionally to let me know he's safe."Olivia's eyes lit up. "How often do you get his calls?""Ab

Everly's face had slimmed down considerably. The caregiver brought her dinner over and said, "Ms. Hilton, you just had a miscarriage. You need to rest and recover. You have to eat more food. "You're still young and can recover quickly. You'll be able to get pregnant again soon.""Take it away.""Ms. Hilton, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a lowly employee."As soon as the caregiver said that, Everly swept everything off the tray, scattering the food onto the floor."Get out."The caregiver carefully picked up the scraps and broken plates. She didn't dare to utter another word. Looking at the snow outside her window, Everly finally understood how Olivia felt. One thing didn't make sense to her. Henry already knew that Olivia was in Aldenvine. He wouldn't keep that a secret from Ethan. Wouldn't Ethan be overjoyed to know that Olivia was still alive? Why would he leave Oliva to her own devices? Did he really come to terms with her departure?But Eve

Olivia felt uneasy ever since she got the text from Everly. Everly was with Henry. Maybe she had some information about Ethan. Maybe she sent that message because she didn't know what exactly was going on.What did Henry do to her?Olivia wanted to return to the city, but she feared she might miss Jack's call. She tried to call Everly's phone for an entire day but to no avail. She felt restless. She couldn't just forsake Everly. After telling Martha about it, she left Alicia on the island and snuck back into Aldenvine on a boat. Ethan was notified as soon as Olivia left the island. He monitored her every move on the island closely, but he didn't understand why she didn't wait for Jack's call on the island. Why would she want to return to Aldenvine?It was very cold in Aldenvine that day. There weren't many people on the streets. Olivia hailed a cab and went to Everly's apartment. Everly bought this unit after she worked as a salesperson. It wasn't that big. It had

Olivia was a mother, too. She had experienced the pain of losing her children twice. She felt even more worried about Everly after she knew what had happened to her. Given Everly's personality, she would have told Olivia about her miscarriage if she was in a normal relationship with Henry. But she didn't. It would suggest that their relationship needed to be kept a secret. What would come out of a relationship with an imbalance of power?Olivia was very anxious. She wanted to find Everly as soon as possible. Imperial Vista was one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. Luckily, Ethan had a housing unit there. He had transferred its ownership to Olivia. She didn't care about the specifics. In a place like Imperial Vista, only property owners and people who have received permission from owners could enter the premises. The rules were stricter here. The property manager was very polite when he realized Olivia was a property owner. "Welcome back, miss."Olivia

That night, Olivia tossed and turned in bed. She couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know how she could help Everly. Was she staying with Henry willingly? Or did Everly want to get away like she did?She couldn't think of a better solution, so she decided to ask Everly in person. The following day, Olivia started to investigate Henry's whereabouts. She kept it up for a few days. Everly's miscarriage should have happened recently. She had been resting at Henry's place without even coming out. A lady was responsible for buying the groceries, cooking, and cleaning every day. She was very tight-lipped. Olivia tried to cozy up to her, but she didn't get any information from the lady. A week had passed. It had been around two weeks since Everly's miscarriage. Given her personality, she would be out the door very soon.On the sixth day of her tailing Henry, Olivia heard him asking Ethan to join him for some drinks. Henry rubbed his temples and said with a troubled expression, "
