Chapter 1048
After washing up, Olivia felt much more relaxed. Her thoughts slowly turned clear, and she had already decided something in her heart.
When she turned around and came back, she saw Ethan toiling away.
He was busy making a fish trap. Before he set out, he brought a lot of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water. He also brought some fruit along.
He was planning to go as fast as possible. He would just drink water from some mountain springs and pick some wild fruits to eat along his way.
The rain and Olivia’s sudden presence had messed up his plans. By the looks of it, it would probably rain tomorrow as well. Ethan hastily weaved a fish trap, making preparations to catch fish.
Before Olivia realized it, she was sitting on the bamboo bed he had made. Her fair legs were swaying lightly.
“Aren’t you tired?” Olivia asked.
Of course, he was tired. He hadn’t slept the whole night, and he had also toiled for the whole day. It was extremely hot near the fire too.
His forehead and b*dy were drenched in sweat.
“I’ll be done soon. There’s a river nearby, and I saw lots of plump fish
in it. The rain has stopped, so I’ll take advantage of that and put the
trap into the water. We’ll have fish to eat tomorrow.”
With that, Ethan looked away from her legs, Carrying the fish trap, he
walked into the night.
When he came back, there were droplets of water on his head and b*dy. He had taken a cold bath.
Olivia looked at him. Ethan looked like a merman who had just gotten out of a bath. Drops of water rolled down his well-defined abs, entering mysterious territory.
Strands of his wet hair drooped over his face. He wasn’t as stern as he used to be, and never-before-seen gentleness appeared on his face.
He was like the leader of a boy band. If he twisted his waist a little, every woman would go crazy over him.
For some reason, Olivia recalled a short video she saw some time
ago.
In the video, a few men wearing masks and caps were dancing with
their upper bodies bare. The comments section was filled with crazed
comments from women.
Ethan’s figure was different from those muscles gained from
intentional training in the gym. The scars that riddled his b*dy also
added to the wild air about him.
Before Olivia realized it, he was already standing in front of her. His
hands were placed on both sides of her.
She was sitting, and he was standing while leaning in a little. The
shadow cast by his b*dy loomed over her.
“What were you looking at?”
It was only then that Olivia averted her gaze. She looked like a
naughty child who had done something wrong.
If Ethan knew about her thoughts, he would open up her head and try
to fix her brain.
“It’s nothing.”
Ethan inched a little closer, enclosing her whole b*dy within his territory.
Ethan had just taken a bath, so he was still quite wet. As the fire
burned, the moisture from his b*dy invaded her.
Sensing her shyness, Ethan let out a low chuckle. His voice was filled
with charm.
Then, he angled his head and whispered in her ear, “I belong wholly to you, Liv. You can look at me however you like, and you can even make
use of your special privileges.”
With that, he took Olivia’s hand and placed it on top of his abs. “I remember that you were quite fond of this a long time ago.”
Olivia’s face turned red. She was indeed bolder when they had gotten married.
After all, why would her husband hide anything from her? Any woma would fall for a figure like that.
“…” Olivia tried to explain herself.
Ethan said softly, “Touch it.”
Olivia’s blush deepened. Ethan pinched her cheek lightly. “Liv, I know
that you have feelings for me. You don’t hate me, do you?”
Olivia looked away guiltily.
Ethan’s coarse finger gently touched her lips. “Tell me, do you find this disgusting?”
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 …
