Chapter 214
Olivia cursed at Ethan as she sat in the front pa*senger seat. Everly was laughing at her misfortune.
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it myself. Ethan was so childish.
“He splashed you with muddy water because you didn’t get in his car. That’s so evil.”
Olivia wiped herself with a towel. She looked upset.
“That’s how petty he is! I don’t know if I was possessed when I fell for him.”
“You could’ve been.” Everly agreed and nodded her head.
She sized up Olivia before asking, “Long time no see. Have you been well?”
Olivia didn’t tell her about the incident where she vomited blood. “Yeah, the chemotherapy was pretty effective.”
Everly noticed that Olivia was in a better mood than before. Even her facial expressions looked more lively.
Everly quickly said, “Why don’t you consider doing it again? If it goes well, and you get to the condition where you can have surgery, you could go straight for surgery.”
“Actually…”
Olivia propped her face up with her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
“I’ll go for another checkup after a while.”
Everly’s eyes lit up. She said, “Have you changed your mind, Liv?”
“I want to live a bit longer. At least until I find out who the person is.”
“What person?”
Olivia shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
Olivia had made up her mind. Even if she went to hell, she had to bring the person who made her life miserable down with her.
Ethan saw Olivia get soaked from the rearview mirror. His anger dissipated slightly from the sight.
He knew that Olivia was trying to sever her ties with him that way.
A few months ago, all he wanted was to be rid of Olivia. But now that she stopped clinging to him, he became the one who couldn’t let go.
Ethan felt irritated whenever he thought about her distant eyes.
He pulled on his collar and said, “Let’s return to the Carlton residence.”
Marina was delighted to see him. She prepared a feast for him. Chloe was recently discharged from the hospital.
She still hasn’t completely recovered yet and looked a little pale. But she still tried to be a good host and kept giving Ethan more food.
On the other hand, Ethan was polite and distant. He focused on playing with Connor.
But no matter how much he played with Connor, Connor rarely smiled. Most of the time, he gazed outside the window.
He was only a little happier when Ethan was with him.
After dinner, Ethan brought Connor to the living room and played there.
Marina pushed Erina and said, “Go, play with Dad.”
Erina had been afraid of Ethan since she was born. Normally, she wouldn’t even dare to approach him, much less play with
him
Chapter 214
“Come over here,” Ethan said while waving his hand at her. Erina walked to his side shakily.
He reached out and picked Erina up gently. He comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid.”
Ethan thought that Erina looked a lot like Marina. But her eyes resembled her father’s.
He picked up a book and said, “Come, I’ll tell the two of you a story.”
Marina saw the three of them together and swore to herself that she must marry Ethan as soon as possible.
After the children went to sleep, Ethan and Marina entered their room simultaneously.
Ethan locked the door and took out a blanket from the wardrobe expressionlessly.
“Same as last night, you take the bed, I’ll sleep on the couch.”
Marina said with a sad face, “Ethan, we’re getting married soon. We’re already a family…”
Ethan glanced at her coldly. His gaze was so cold it looked like he was ready to kill someone.
“Marina Carlton, how long has he been gone? You’re already getting so restless?”
Ethan grabbed her collar and said slowly, “Don’t forget who you are, cousin-in-law.”
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 …
