Chapter 1136
Olivia frowned as she looked at Ethan in dissatisfaction. She had no
idea what he was getting at now.
Ethan didn’t say anything as he took a seat next to her.
Krystal walked over to Ethan, looking at him hopefully. “Sova, can you
be my dance partner later?”
“No, I’ve already found a dance partner.” Ethan pointed at Olivia.
Krystal’s expression instantly shifted. “Her?”
“What about her?” Ethan turned to look at Olivia. “Vanessa, let’s go
over there to dance.”
“Alright.”
Ethan got up. With one hand behind his back, he gestured an
invitation toward Olivia with his other hand. He looked very gentlemanly indeed.
Olivia placed her fingertips on Ethan’s palm. Ethan’s large hand gently
closed around hers as if it were a flower.
Under the mask, Olivia’s face was slightly tinted red. This seemed to
be her first time dancing with Ethan.
Ethan held Olivia’s waist boldly whereas she leaned against his chest.
They were the parents of a few children by now, but at that moment,
they behaved as if they had just fallen in love. Ethan’s palms were
sweating a little.
Now that Krystal’s plans to dance with Ethan had failed, Yale took the
opportunity to approach Krystal. “Krystal, may I ask you to be my dance partner?”
“No.”
Krystal had been spoiled since young, and she would get anything she
wanted at all costs. She would never settle, for she only wanted the
best!
Even though Ethan was already dancing with Olivia, Krystal refused to
settle for Yale.
Linus shared the same opinion. He declined the invitations from a
few women who asked him to be their dance partner. Then, he
reached out toward Krystal.
Krystal had a look of disdain on her face. “Linus, you’re not young anymore, but you can’t even get yourself a dance partner. How embarrassing!”
Linus sneered. “You talk like you’ve already found a dance partner!
“I just declined them. If I were willing, tons of men would come over
to me.”
Linus said coldly, “If you want no one but Ethan, I think you should
give up instead. That man will never fall for you. While you have time,
you’d better choose another target.”
“I swear I’ll get him to prove you wrong. What about you? Weren’t you
going to ask Vanessa to dance just now?”
Linus felt a little guilty. “Who told you that? I was just worried that she
can’t get used to this place all alone.”
“Her? Have you ever seen those men looking away from her? Linus,
don’t tell me you like the young wife type. No wonder you never found
a wife.
“I’m telling you, you can play with women like her, but don’t ever
dream of marrying her. Do you know how old her daughter is?”
Linus replied, “Nonsense. I don’t have those intentions.”
“It’s best if you don’t. I don’t like her at all. I can’t believe Sova chose to dance with a woman like her just to avoid me. How infuriating!”
They both thought that Ethan did this to avoid Krystal. They never once wondered about the relationship between Ethan and Olivia.
As the lights dimmed, the atmosphere and music were perfect.
Ethan whispered in Olivia’s ear, “Liv, I want to k*ss you.”
Olivia pinched his arm lightly. “No way.”
He let out a deep and pleased chuckle. “What about later at night?
She raised an eyebrow at him. “We’re in the Heath residence. Do you dare act so recklessly?”
Her b*dy was flung out, and in the next second, he pulled her back. She leaned against his chest, listening to his low mutters. “As long as I want to, no one can stop me. Liv, I came just for you.”
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 …
