Chapter 530
“Mrs. Miller.” Cyril looked pitiful. “It’s not that I can’t win her heart. Her heart is occupied with another man. How can she even look at anyone else?”
Olivia thought about it. He had a point.
After all, when she was in love with Ethan back then, she didn’t even spare a look at the other men confessing to her.
Now, she didn’t even remember what those men looked like.
“Don’t give up. You’ll get a wife eventually.”
“I’m not getting one anymore.”
“You’re so stubborn.” Olivia facepalmed. Each of these people was more stubborn than the next.
“Mrs. Miller, it’s raining soon, so don’t go out at night. You might sl*p and fall in the yard.”
“Okay.”
Olivia continued drinking her soup. The children in her tummy were quite active at that moment. Olivia decided to walk around the room before going to sleep.
Rain poured all through the night, accompanied by instances of thunder. Olivia couldn’t sleep well all night.
The next day, the rain was still going strong. Olivia had no choice but to read a book by the window.
“Olivia, I’m back.”
Mona’s loud voice could be heard even before entering the house. She was even carrying some snacks.
Running over to Olivia, she stuffed the snacks in Olivia’s hands.
“You told me that you wanted to eat crepes, right? I bought these for you.”
“I haven’t had any in a long time. I was craving it.”
As Olivia ate, she asked, “How’s it going between you and your ideal man?”
Mona said shyly, “He confessed his feelings for me last night. Look, this is the bracelet he gave me. He got someone to hand- make it for me overseas.
“It’s not very pricey, but he’s sincere about it. It even has my zodiac sign! Cute, right?”
Olivia watched Mona playing with the bracelet, knowing that Mona was utterly smitten.
“You can accept the necklace, but you have to rein in your feelings a bit. Remember what I said?”
“Don’t worry, Olivia, I understand. He knows all about my family’s circumstances. I’m so poor, so what would he want from me? He’s sincerely good to me.”
Sitting beside Olivia, Mona said a lot of good things about Warren Tovar.
Olivia sighed. A woman knee-deep in love would never hear a word others said.
For the whole morning, Mona looked at the bracelet in a daze. She even swung the pendant from time to time.
“Come on, stop looking at it. You’ve been admiring it all morning.”
Mona waved it in front of Olivia again. “But it’s stunning. The rat’s head is very nicely made, and it looks so lively.”
At the side, Madam Burgess smiled. “He won you over with just a bracelet? You have no idea what Mr. Miller used to court Mrs. Miller back then. He put in a lot of effort.”
Mona was excited when she heard that. “How did Mr. Miller do it? I’m super curious about it. I can’t find anything about Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller’s romance when I looked it up.”
“Oh, he-”
Quietly, Olivia coughed twice. Madam Burgess could only shut up. “Forget it. I’m going to prepare lunch.”
Mona felt like she shouldn’t bother Olivia any longer.
Olivia paced around in the room, supporting her tummy. She would look outside from time to time.
The rain didn’t seem to stop anytime soon.
She would look outside sometimes. She spotted Cyril standing alone in the corridor, looking at the rain in a daze.
His efforts were wasted.
The rain went on for a whole day. The sea raged endlessly like a monster.
Olivia felt a little restless when she heard the thunder outside. The children also seemed to have sensed her unease, and they kicked around in her tummy.
“Such naughty children! If you’re not going to bed, then I am. Goodnight, darlings.”
She had just closed her eyes when another thunder roared outside.
Olivia instantly opened her eyes again. Her heart was beating rapidly.
On a few occasions in the past, she had the same feeling right before disaster struck. Olivia caressed her chest. She had no idea what was going on that day.
The room was in complete darkness, and the lightning would streak by from time to time. It was bright for a second or two before the light disappeared.
Olivia turned on the lamp on her bedside table. She looked at her arm. The hairs were standing on end.
People would have their hair stand on end when they sensed something terrible on the horizon.
Olivia called Cyril, who answered. “Is something the matter, Mrs. Miller?”
“Is everything alright outside?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Miller. The surveillance room is staffed every hour of the day. I’ll inform you as soon as something happens.”
“Alright. Thanks for your hard work.”
Olivia turned off the lights. She must be overthinking it.
In the room next door, Mona was still lovestruck. She lay in her bed as she messaged Warren.
Warren suddenly asked her to share her location.
Mona thought that they had already gotten IP technicians to set things up for them, so she a*sumed that the actual address wouldn’t be exposed even if she tapped in.
She wanted to tease Warren a little, so she tapped into the location-sharing feature.
Their two icons were very close to each other.
Mona was startled. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She wondered if it was some technical issue.
Warren’s icon was nearing hers at top speed. When Mona saw that their icons were about to overlap, her heart thumped wildly.
There must be something wrong. She didn’t understand why Warren would be here.
Just a while ago, he said that he was reading documents at home. There must be some technical issues on her end.
Mona was thinking about it when lightning streaked across the sky.
As the thunder roared, she was startled to see a figure standing on the balcony outside.
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 …
