Chapter 1178
Tatiana was a little distracted. Rather than Krystal, she was more
worried about Mason’s attitude toward Olivia.
It felt like he knew Olivia!
It was still snowing outside, and Linus was driving. All the cars.
around him made way for him. He looked at Mason through the
rearview mirror.
Mason was looking out the window with a stern expression as if deep
in thought.
“Dad, do you know Ms. Fordham?”
Mason sighed softly but didn’t respond. Linus’ fingers tightened.
around the steering wheel.
He had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
Olivia went back to her room to change into some casual clothes. Ethan hugged her tightly as soon as they entered the room. He didn’t
want to let go of her.
“That’s enough. We haven’t even eaten yet. I’ll cook something up. Let
me go.”
Ethan nestled against her neck like a puppy. “Okay.”
Olivia hadn’t been staying here for some time. The vegetables in the fridge had already gone bad. She had no choice but to get some instant pasta from the fridge.
She quickly finished cooking the pasta. She pushed a plate toward
Ethan.
“That’s the best I can do with what we’ve got.”
The ferocity on Ethan’s face had faded for some time. His hair had been drenched, but it was nearly dry.
He didn’t look as intense as he usually was. He had a tender.
expression on his face.
“Liv, this is the kind of life I want. No matter how hard things get
outside, there will always be a light waiting for me.”
He clasped her hand and said, “I didn’t cherish you in the past. That
was my fault. Give me another chance, Liv. I will give you a home.”
He looked at her with a pleading expression. He had changed a lot in the days Olivia had been with him.
He didn’t even care if he offended the Heaths. He would stand up for
her no matter what.
Olivia could see her own reflection in his eyes. The doorbell rang
before she could reply.
She could see a fleet of black cars parked outside from the doorbell
camera. Olivia didn’t expect the Heaths to come so soon.
Just as she was thinking about how she would turn them away, she saw someone opening the door and slowly walking toward her door.
Mason’s face showed up on the camera.
There was some snow on him. He looked at the camera with a kind
expression.
“It’s me, Vanessa.”
Olivia was stunned. “Mr. Heath is here in person!”
Even Ethan didn’t expect this. They weren’t able to sit around and eat the pasta anymore. They got up and went to meet Mason at the door.
The door was opened. Linus was holding an umbrella for Mason.
The lights at the entrance shone on them. Mason’s white hair could be seen clearly.
“Mr. Heath, you didn’t have to come in person,” Olivia said resignedly. But she still went over to him.
It was very cold, and the roads were slippery. It would look bad for her if he slipped and fell here.
Mason grabbed her hand with a delighted expression. “If I didn’t come, you might actually go away.”
Ethan was still a little angry. “It’s cold outside. Let’s talk inside.”
He was trying to act like the man of the house.
Linus had the urge to ask why he could be so shameless. He was. clinging to Olivia despite the fact that they were divorced.
But he wasn’t Krystal. He suppressed that thought and walked into the house with them.
As soon as they entered the house, Mason looked around. It was like. he was trying to understand Olivia better.
The smell of pasta lingered in the room.
Mason spoke up.
“Vanessa, it’s all Krystal’s fault. Because of her, you two left before.
you were able to get a bite. I hope you two didn’t catch a cold.”
“We’re fine. You came over so quickly, Mr. Heath. You also haven’t
eaten yet, right?”
Mason held her hand tightly.
“Vanessa, I like it better when you call me Grandpa Mason. What was the question you didn’t get to ask that day at the tea room?”
Chapter 1179
Olivia looked at the half-finished pasta that she and Ethan left on the
table. Linus and Mason probably hadn’t eaten as well.
So, she said, “You two haven’t eaten, right? Why don’t I cook
something up for you?”
Soon, there was a plate of pasta in front of Mason and Linus. Olivia
smiled apologetically.
“There aren’t any ingredients at home. This is all I can make for you.”
“It’s fine. It’s nice to switch things up occasionally.”
Mason seemed to be very easygoing.
There were no housekeepers in this house. Ethan took up the job of
washing the dishes. He picked up the plates that the others used.
Linus frowned. Although the two of them were divorced, it seemed
like their relationship didn’t really change.
Olivia brewed some tea for Mason and Linus.
Then, she sat down and said, “Since it’s getting late, I’ll make it short. I
happened to see a picture in your drawer.
“It was a picture of a woman. Is that woman called Natalie?”
Mason’s expression visibly changed after hearing that name. He
grabbed Olivia’s arm excitedly.
“Do you know her? How are you related to her?”
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 …
