Chapter 192
Olivia asked without hesitation, “Are you not coming back tonight?”
Ethan could sense a hint of joy in her serious expression.
He was taken aback. Did she feel happy that he threatened not to come home?
Olivia did feel a little happy about that. In the few nights that she had slept with him, there were a few times he almost lost
control.
No matter what he felt toward her, all she wanted was to stay as far away from him as possible.
Ethan grabbed her chin and rubbed her l*ps with his thumb. “You don’t want me to come home?”
Olivia thought about how annoying she used to be.
She said with a serious expression, “You’re Marina’s fiancé now, and your engagement party is approaching.
“You must not fight with her because of me. And if rumors spread about us, it would also impact the Miller Group’s stock price.
Olivia tapped his hand and a*sured him, “Don’t worry. I will not pester you like I used to. I promise to let you experience a peaceful night.”
Olivia thought that Ethan shouldn’t mess with her anymore since she made such a sincere promise. He might even feel like she was being very mature.
She thought her words would make Ethan happy. But his expression grew angrier. His grip on her chin also tightened.
Was she not sincere enough? Olivia furrowed her eyebrows in thought.
Ethan couldn’t see any signs of reluctance or sadness in her eyes. He withdrew his hand and said, “As you wish! I’ll be staying over at the Carltons‘ tonight.”
“Alright. I’ll go back in for dinner now.”
Olivia opened the door and got out of the car as soon as he loosened his grip. Ethan was not able to detect any hint of sadness on her face before she left.
Ethan watched her leave and thought she didn’t feel the slightest bit of sadness with how eagerly she left.
Did she really get over him completely? Their divorce was less than three months ago.
Kelvin saw Ethan’s cold expression through the rearview mirror. He asked carefully, “Mr. Miller, should we depart now?”
Ethan took a deep breath and asked, “What did she do today? Who did she meet?”
“Nothing much. She went to the art exhibit for a while. Then, she went shopping.
“She also went to some amusement facilities for young people for the whole afternoon. She didn’t meet anyone.”
Ethan frowned and said, “Watch her closely.”
Ethan would’ve thought that she fell for someone else. But he had confirmed that nothing happened between her and the man
on the island.
He didn’t really understand himself. His feelings overcame his hatred for her.
But as time went on, he felt like it became harder for him to leave Olivia.
Olivia was the complete opposite. She no longer had any feelings of attachment to him. There was no longer a twinkle in her eyes when she looked at him.
He lowered his head to look at his phone.
When they were still close, she never stopped calling or messaging him.
Back then, he would take some time to reply, no matter how busy he was.
Even when their relationship deteriorated, and he treated her coldly on purpose, she would still send him a dozen messages every day.
Unlike now, she didn’t call or send him any messages throughout the entire day.
Ethan realized he was no longer the most important person to her. He felt like someone was grabbing his heart tightly.
How would he have known that Olivia started to walk on eggshells around him?
She was afraid that anything she did would anger him. She only hoped to stay as far away from him as possible so that she wouldn’t incur his wrath.
She knew her place now. She knew she no longer had the right to order him around.
Her heart had been tormented by Ethan and Marina over the two years. No matter how much conviction she had, it was all gone.
Olivia went straight to her bedroom. She didn’t even eat dinner.
She could see Belle’s b*dy when she closed her eyes and could only hope that Jack could uncover the truth as soon as possible.
She went to sleep after showering. She had no idea Ethan was checking his phone every now and again.
He thought that Olivia couldn’t possibly feel nothing after he said he would be staying with the Carltons tonight.
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 …
