Chapter 1195
Olivia had just ended her video call with Zack when Ethan’s call came
Olivia hadn’t contacted Ethan in weeks, but now, she could hear his
voice. “Liv.”
He seemed to be in a spacious area, and she could hear the cold wind
howling.
“I’m here.” Olivia wanted to ask where he was, but she thought that he
might be carrying out some top-secret military mission, so she didn’t
ask.
“Did you miss me?” Ethan’s voice was a little hoarse. He must be
somewhere extremely cold.
Olivia had been there a few times before. Even a breath of the
freezing air threatened to blow up her lungs.
“It’s not that bad.”
“You’re not adorable at all, Liv. Unlike you, I missed you a lot.”
His hoarse voice had given him some extra manly charm instead.
Olivia felt her heart shivering in a good way.
In the past, she would think of Ethan every waking hour if she couldn’t
see him. But now, she wouldn’t do that. She had a lot of her own
business to attend to.
Ethan used to be like indispensable air and water to her. But now, he
was just a bottle of beverage.
Wh
she sometimes thought of him, she would want to have a taste
of his sweetness. But even if she didn’t taste him, it wouldn’t affect
her usual life.
In contrast, Ethan’s mind was filled with thoughts of her these days.
He seemed to have become obsessed with her.
“I’m coming back tomorrow.”
Olivia said softly, “Alright. Take care.
“Goodnight.”
Ethan looked at his phone, which was displaying the call Olivia had decisively ended. A bitter and exasperated smile appeared on his face.
Even though Ethan and Olivia had gotten more physically intimate
with each other, they couldn’t return to what they once were.
A snowflake drifted onto his open palm. It was just like his fragile relationship with Olivia.
Even so, he had to hold it firmly in his hands! He wouldn’t let her leave
him ever again.
He told himself that things would get better.
With a bang, a bullet landed on a spot near his feet.
“Mr. Miller, duck!” Brent’s urgent voice rang out.
Many fighter jets suddenly appeared above their heads.
“Our location is exposed!”
Ethan looked up. The hatch of the fighter jet circling above them
opened.
He saw a man in a lightweight black outfit, and the cape the man was wearing flapped in the wind.
The man was holding a machine gun in his right hand.
Ethan couldn’t see the man’s eyes, but he knew that the man was
staring down at him with a deadly gaze!
“Wayne! He’s here in person.”
In the next second, the man started shooting.
“Run! Mr. Miller, hang in there for a moment longer. Reinforcements
are on the way.”
Brent had just finished speaking when dozens of fighter jets
appeared in the sky again.
They were in an unfavorable situation just now, but the tables had
turned.
Wayne, whose face was hidden under the black mask, clicked his
tongue. “Let’s go.”
Seeing the opponent retreating, Ethan stood up while leaning onto a huge tree for support. “Wayne isn’t out of his mind, is he?”
“He is quite crazy indeed. Why would a leader of a country personally fight on the front lines?”
“That bastard is doing it on purpose.
Ethan balled his hands into fists as he slammed them onto the ice. “I Swea
I’ll take his wretched life one day.”
The man who shot at him back then was none other than Wayne. If Kurt hadn’t taken the lethal bullet for Ethan, Ethan would be the one
who ended up dead that day!
The grudges between them had existed many years ago.
The battle between them had lasted ten years and more, but it never stopped.
“Let’s head back, Mr. Miller. The mission is over. He has a different identity now. If we go after him, it’ll turn into an international issue.”
Thinking of Olivia’s face, Ethan turned around and left. He gave up on going after Wayne.
Ethan swore that Wayne would die at his hand.
He would cut Wayne’s head off and offer it as a sacrifice to Kurt so
that Kurt could finally rest in peace.
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 …
