Chapter 104
Marina found Olivia’s question hilarious. “If I’m not his mother, who else is? You?”
“If you are his mother, you shouldn’t be this cold–blanded. He’s having an allergic reaction and has fallen from the stairs
“The first thing you did isn’t protect him and comfort him, but to attack me. Do you even call yourself a mother?”
Marina said, “Now that Ethan’s here, don’t a*sume that you’ll be able to restore his feelings for you by defening me
“Ethan was there when I gave birth to Connor. He knows very well that I am Connor’s mother”
Olivia couldn’t care less to continue the boring topic with her.
The incident proved that some people were unsuitable to be a mother because of their inherent character.
Connor’s nanny rushed over with a basin of water. Olivia took his top off to place the naplón on him.
But something was weird.
Kids usually cried or threw a tantrum when they suffered from itchy rashes.
Yet, Connor was all quiet. His eyes were fixated on her as he grasped the hem of her clothes tightly, wanting her to stay
It was as though he wasn’t afraid as long as she stayed by his side.
“Hold it right there. What are you doing to my son?” Marina was obviously against the cold compression.
Olivia shot her a cold look. “It will contract the veins and stave the itchiness off. He’s not feeling well right now
“It takes a single scratch for the rashes to spread. The worst case scenario is that it might cause a fever ”
Marina wanted to say something, but Ethan stopped her sternly. “Shut up.”
Throughout the two years, it was the first time Olivia witnessed him treating Marina that way.
Marina clearly felt wronged about it. Soon, she began causing trouble.
She said, “I have always been extra careful when it comes to Connor’s diet. Why is he suddenly having an allergic reaction? What did he eat?”
A maid answered, “Master Connor ate half a slice of honey cake. Ms. Fordham baked it.”
Marina glared at Olivia. “Olivia Fordham, how dare you feed him a honey cake! You knew that he’s allergic to it”
“He’s allergic to honey?” Olivia was surprised to find a similarity between herself and Connor.
“Stop playing dumb! You came here for Fordham residence and offered a honey cake in order to please me
“I didn’t drive you away because I treated you as a guest. And yet, you have an ulterior motive. Just come at me if you How could you harm a mere kid?
“It’s not only that. Ethan, look at my neck. She was trying to kill me!”
Marina knew that Connor was Ethan’s priority. Anyone that hurt Connor would be in big trouble.
She thought that as long as she could shift the blame to Olivia, he would let the incident slide.
Olivia finally realized that Marina was setting her up all along. That was why Marina requested a honey cake
Olivia figured that Marina wouldn’t have kept her promise even if Olivia had disfigured her face and left the city
A calculating woman who used her son to her advantage would never keep her promise.
As an afterthought, Olivia’s heart ached for Connor. Judging from Marina’s attitude, she was clearly not a mother materie!
Ethan didn’t take Marina’s side like he always did. He scolded sternly, “Shut up! You keep finding fault in others ever since 1
came.

“Do you even care about Connor‘ I can’t help but wonder how you have been fulfilling your duties as a minthag
His gaze swept across her outfit Her half–polished toenails disgusted him
“Ethan, 1”
“Get out I don’t want to see you right now “Forget about keeping her pride Refraining from strangling her to death moment was his best concession
Chapter 104
“Do you even care about Connor? I can’t help but wonder how you have been fulfilling your duties as a mother.”
His gaze swept across her outfit. Her half–polished toenails disgusted him.
“Ethan, I-”
“Get out. I don’t want to see you right now.” Forget about keeping her pride. Refraining from strangling her to death at this moment was his best concession.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
