Chapter 589
Ethan, who used to be extremely patient with her, didn’t have any intention of staying at that moment.
He kept urging Olivia, “It’s someone else’s grave. There’s nothing interesting to look at. Let’s go.”
Olivia thought that it was bad luck to say such things. Still, she couldn’t help but glance at it.
“Amazing. If her name wasn’t Jodie Ferguson, I would’ve thought that she’s a relative of the Millers.”
Olivia repeated the name. “Jodie. Why does that name sound so familiar? Ethan, did I know her in the past?”
The gravestone was remade for Jodie after Ethan had confirmed that Leia didn’t die. All the information was changed to Jodie’s. Ethan didn’t expect Olivia to be so hung up about it.
After calming himself, Ethan answered calmly, “No, you didn’t.”
Olivia glanced at the gravestone a few more times before looking away. “I must be overthinking it. There are so many people in this world, so it’s normal for some to look alike. Let’s go.”
Ethan took a cloak and draped it over her. His eyes were filled with tenderness. “Yes, the snow is falling heavily again. Let’s finish up the rounds and go home as soon as possible.”
“Sounds good.”
Olivia left with Ethan. After taking a few steps, she still couldn’t help but look back.
The plum blossoms were blooming well. There was a layer of clear snow on the red petals. As the wind blew, the snowflakes and flowers rained down, covering the gravestone.
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Olivia looked away, ignoring the unknown emotions in her heart.
After visiting the graves, Olivia suggested dining at the restaurant from last time. Ethan got someone to reserve a table for
them.
Olivia liked being with Ethan. She wondered if it was because Ethan rarely spent time with her in the past. Taking Ethan’s hand, Olivia strolled around the square.
The two were very good-looking. So, no matter where they went, people would be looking at them.
Olivia asked curiously, “I remember seeing a tree here that night. Why is it gone?”
The spot where the century-old tree stood was now covered with cement. It was also tiled just like its surroundings. Ethan was surprised that Olivia remembered.
Ethan replied indifferently, “Perhaps it was blocking the view, so they cut it.”
“What a pity. It was such a huge tree, and it was probably at least a hundred years old. It’s a waste to cut it down just like that.”
“Both humans and trees have their fates. It’s nothing worth your pity.”
Olivia scratched her head. She thought about the new coffee table and wooden chairs at home that were just delivered
yesterday.
They didn’t lack any furniture at home, so she couldn’t understand why they suddenly got more wooden furniture.
Ethan had calmly said that a change of furniture would be nice. She didn’t think too much about it back then. She just wondered how many trees had to be cut down to make a coffee table that big.
“Ethan, is it possible that the coffee table at home was made from this tree?”
Reaching out, Ethan patted her on the head. His expression was calm as always. “What are you talking about, Liv? Why would I get mad at a tree and turn it into a coffee table?”
Olivia looked at the man’s upright figure in the snowy wind. His handsome face was cold, and his movements were filled with endless nobility.
He had a point. An elite like him wouldn’t get mad at a tree.
Olivia took Ethan’s hand again. “Sorry, I keep overthinking things. Let’s go eat.”
Ethan patted the back of her hand. “It’s okay. We have to go somewhere after the meal.”
“Hm? Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we arrive.”
Like a child, Olivia eagerly looked forward to the surprise.
It wasn’t 6:30 pm yet, but she was already urging Ethan, “Hurry up. Where are we going?”
Reaching out, Ethan touched the tip of her nose. “Let’s go.”
She was taken to a high-end studio, where people would get customized makeovers.
Olivia rarely came to places like this, so she felt a little wary. “What are we doing here?”
Ethan patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, someone will guide you.”
In a daze, Olivia was brought to the makeup room.
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 …
