Chapter 596
Olivia and Ethan were the only people in that pa*sageway. Olivia could hear the noisy sounds of music and the host’s voice on the other side. They were at some sort of event.
She didn’t understand it. If Ethan wanted to bring her to an event, it didn’t make sense for him to keep it a secret.
Looking at Ethan, she asked in a small voice, “What event is this? You should at least tell me beforehand so that I can prepare myself.”
There was a lamp above them, and the light shone on the man’s well-defined face. The sharpness of his features disappeared
in the light.
“It doesn’t matter what event it is. The important thing is that I’m attending it with you.”
The host’s voice could be heard outside, followed by cheers from the audience. Olivia realized that they were at the award ceremony of some film festival.
Olivia was even more curious about Ethan’s identity now. She thought that he was the construction site supervisor of some huge project.
She didn’t understand why he would be able to attend an event like this.
Once she came back to her senses, Olivia would realize that she could just search online to figure out Ethan’s identity. But of course, she wouldn’t have expected her husband to be from the number one wealthy family in the area.
Then, the host’s loud voice sounded.
“We’re very honored today. The president of Miller Group and his wife have come here in person to present the awards. Everyone, let’s give a round of applause for Mr. and Mrs. Miller.”
Olivia was caught off guard. She couldn’t believe that her husband was the president of a corporation!
He looked very busy, but she had never seen a president who could spend time with his wife every day at home.
Olivia elbowed Ethan. “What are you up to? You never told me about this!”
“I just thought that there’s no better chance than this to tell the world that you’re Mrs. Miller.”
Olivia was shocked. “You did this so that-”
Ethan’s fingers slid between the gaps of Olivia’s fingers. He held her hand tightly until there were no more gaps. Then, he k*ssed the back of her hand. “I want everyone to know that you’re my wife.”
The backdrop gave way, and all the lights and cameras were focused on Olivia and Ethan.
Everyone happened to catch sight of Ethan k*ssing the back of Olivia’s hand. Their excited screams almost broke through the
roof.
“Ahh!”
“They’re so handsome and so pretty!”
“This is something straight out of novels! I had a feeling that Mr. Miller had an unavoidable reason when he said that he was going to marry Marina.”
“When you love someone, your eyes won’t lie. He had never once looked at Marina with a gaze like this.”
“So this is his ex-wife. She’s so beautiful.”
“I know her! We used to be in the same high school. She’s not just super smart, she’s a genius! She skipped lots of grades. Later on, I heard that she got married in secret. I didn’t expect that she had gotten married to Mr. Miller!”
The people who mocked Ethan for being a jerk in the past had now changed their minds. After all, many people in this world judged a book by its cover.
People loved stories of broken relationships getting mended.
Many people in the audience were overwhelmed and wished the couple well.
Smiling, the host looked at the two. “Looks like you’re quite the popular couple. Mr. Miller, you’ve never attended an event like this before. Can you tell us why you accepted the invitation?”
Ethan led the slightly anxious Olivia as he slowly walked to the center of the stage. Throughout the whole process, he never let go of Olivia’s hand. Taking the mic, he had a face filled with tenderness.
“My wife is fond of some old artists. We heard that ‘Besieged Hearts’ was nominated, and we’re glad to be here to present the awards. My wife can finally meet the celebrities she idolizes.”
Instead of the movie, everyone was more interested in Ethan’s and Olivia’s relationship. The host was even more excited to see Ethan in an uncharacteristically good mood.
“I heard that you and your wife were married in secret for a few years, Mr. Miller. Why did you choose this moment to announce your relationship?”
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 …
