Chapter 595
With that, Ethan took Olivia’s hand and walked away, leaving the furious Nikki alone.
Ethan was even less caring than he had been when he was young. He was as stubborn as they came.
When Nikki saw the two walking away hand-in-hand, she gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
She sneered coldly, looking like a snake hiding in the shadows. A venomous glint flashed across her eyes.
Olivia angled her b*dy to look at Ethan. Sensing her gaze, Ethan looked down at her. “What’s the matter? If you have any questions, just ask them. Don’t overthink things.”
Olivia raised an eyebrow. “I do have a question. Did you truly think about killing her whole family?”
“Yes.”
Ethan said without any hesitation, “My mother wasn’t mentally well, so she rarely took care of me when I was young. Back then, to establish connections, my aunt took me in.
“That was when I got to know Nikki. She was the neighbor’s child, but she kept trying to play with me. When I said that I didn’t like to play house, she insisted on playing the games that I played.”
Olivia was a little curious. “What games did you play?”
“Shooting, boxing, fencing, horseback riding, skiing, diving…’
“What happened next?”

“At the shooting range, she couldn’t even fire the gun. She was even bitten all over by mosquitoes. When she boxed with me, her nose bled when I hit her.
“When we went horseback riding, the horse left her behind…”
“Wait.” Olivia reached out her hand. “Putting her personality problems aside, you did it on purpose when you hit her until she bled, right?”
Ethan felt a headache coming on when he thought about those incidents. “She was the one who told me not to go easy on her.
“She had received training before, so going easy on her would be the same as looking down on her. Since she said all that, I just swung randomly at her. I didn’t expect her to take a basic punch like that head-on.
“It even hit her squarely in the face. Her nose bled, and the blood got on my b*dy. It was annoying.”
Hearing his complaints, Olivia was already laughing. “Haha, you’re such a straightforward man. She said that just to attract your attention. She wasn’t telling you to get serious about it.
“She was probably startled back then, so she started dodging blindly. But you hit her right on the nose.”
Ethan said, “Liv, can you stop mentioning that useless woman in front of me?”
Ethan visibly hated Nikki.
After Nikki was hit, she went back and told her parents something. Then, they came over and pressured Ethan, forcing him to play house with her.
Olivia saw the foul expression on Ethan’s face. Still, she was quite interested. Reaching out, she poked at Ethan’s arm.
“Tell me, then. How did you play house with her? That should be interesting.”
Reaching out, Ethan flicked her on her forehead. She was excited to learn about his cringe-inducing past.
Still, he didn’t mind it if it would make her happy.
He described what had happened back then. It wasn’t as simple as a normal game of playing pretend.
Nikki wanted him to play the role of someone in a vegetative state. She would then play the role of a bride who would bring
him luck.
She even got someone to decorate a room so that it looked like a wedding venue. As the adults watched, Ethan acted in the play where a man in a vegetative state got married.
Olivia was amazed. She wondered if all rich children played house like that. It was quite a realistic experience.
The more Ethan spoke, the sadder he got. “But don’t worry, Liv. When she wanted to k*ss me, I pushed her away.”
Olivia smiled sweetly. “I never expected you to defend your purity so well since a young age.”
Ethan planted a k*ss on her cheek. “Liv, throughout all these years, you’re the only one who managed to win my heart.”
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 …
