Chapter 572
Ethan tugged lightly, and Olivia’s b*dy fell into his embrace. His skin was still wet from the shower, and he smelled like the shampoo he used.
Olivia pressed her palms against his chest. She felt like his b*dy temperature was a little hot to the touch.
He whispered in her ear, “There’s a mole on your inner thigh.’
His breath, which smelled like peppermint, brushed her skin and made her blush.
Her blushing face reminded Ethan of the time when they just started to date. His gaze became softer.
He raised his hand to tap her nose and said, “I’ll stop teasing you. Let’s have some food first. I’ll tell you everything you want
to know after you’ve eaten.”
Ethan held Olivia’s hand and led her out of the bedroom.
There were a lot of pictures of the two of them in the corridor. She was all smiles in every single picture. She was bright and
cheerful, like a miniature sun.
For instance, there was a picture of her on a swing in a garden full of roses.
Ethan was pushing her from behind. She was looking at him with a sweet smile. He also had an unmistakable gentle look in his
eyes.
There was another photo of her emerging from the water and grabbing Ethan. He looked like he didn’t know what to do with her, but his l*ps were curled into a smile.
Another picture was of her chasing after butterflies while he watched with a gentle gaze and one hand in his pocket.
The images looked very natural, with no signs of being staged.
Every one of them gave her a feeling that she was having fun and he was smiling.
The house was decorated very cozily. She felt at home. She had lived there before.
Olivia subconsciously went to the door of a room. She had a feeling that she had been there a lot of times.
“This room is…”
Ethan didn’t expect her to be so hung up on the baby room, even after she lost her memories.
“Let’s eat first.”
He led Olivia downstairs. The dining table was full of tasty food.
Madam Burgess smiled brightly and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, come sit and eat. I’ll be serving up two more dishes.”
Ethan politely helped Olivia pull out her chair.
From Madam Burgess’ warm reception, Ethan’s casual attitude, and fresh flowers on the table to the spotless environment, everything she saw was a sign of a cozy household.
It should have been a place that she loved, but Olivia felt like she didn’t want to be there.
Especially the flowers on the table. They made her think of a dark, cloudy sky, withered flowers on a table, and a woman standing alone at the window looking out to the snow.
“What’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?” Ethan was very sensitive to Olivia’s mood change.
Olivia shook her head and said, “No, the food’s fine.”
She was indeed starving. The living conditions on the island were harsh, so she had a bigger appetite than usual.
Olivia noticed that Ethan was silently staring at her while she was eating.
He also had a warm smile on his face. Like the photos, his eyes were filled with love for her.
After the meal, Ethan asked, “There’s a new movie recently. You used to love the actors in it. Do you want to watch it with me?
“1
Olivia pointed at her head and said, “I want to know how I lost my memories.”
Ethan reached out, and Olivia put her hand into his palm in confusion. He brought her to the room she looked at just now.
“Liv, do you want to know, even if the memory was unpleasant?”
Olivia nodded.
“Then, open the door.”
Olivia stood at the door and suddenly felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest. Then, a wave of pain washed over 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 …
