Chapter 638
The plane landed safely at its destination after over ten hours of flying.
Olivia took off her sleeping mask and stretched her stiff limbs.
Xylandia was halfway across the globe from Aldenvine, and its weather was the complete opposite.
It was snowing heavily in Aldenvine, but it was warm in Grovale, the capital city of Xylandia.
The ocean breeze brought in fresh air with it. Olivia felt refreshed as soon as she disembarked from the plane.
At the entrance to the VIP channel, Brian, dressed in a black uniform, was already there to pick up Ethan and Olivia.
“Welcome to Grovale, Mr. Miller.”
Brian’s gaze turned to Olivia, and he sized her up. Then, he said slowly, “Welcome to Grovale, Ms Fordham.”
Olivia picked up on Brian’s scrutiny. Her intuition told her that the man didn’t like her much. But Olivia had nothing to prove
to him. She nodded at him and walked off.
Ethan looked at Brian disdainfully and said, “Something wrong with your eyes? I don’t mind poking them out for you.”
Brian’s skin crawled, and he quickly lowered his head. Kelvin looked at Brian with an amused expression and said, “Mr. Copely, my brother briefed you before we arrived.
“Why are you feigning ignorance? ‘Ms. Fordham’? You got to be kidding me.”
”
“Let’s go.” Brent tapped Kelvin on the shoulder as he walked by. He didn’t want Kelvin to cause needless trouble. Brent didn’t even look at Brian when he walked past him.
Brian worked for Mrs. Miller Senior. He reacted the way he did because she didn’t like Olivia.
Ethan quickly caught up to Olivia and held her hand. He explained softly, “I kept our marriage under wraps before. He didn’t know who you were.”
“Now he knows.”
Olivia had an idea of what was happening but didn’t say anything. It would seem like her mother-in-law didn’t like her that
much.
Ethan turned his head to observe Olivia’s expression.
Olivia went to a restaurant in the airport and started to order food.
She didn’t seem fazed by Brian at all. Olivia was already used to her surroundings.
Her emotions were incredibly stable. She was different from before. No one could impact her mood.
“I looked up guides before. I had wanted to try the local cuisines in Grovale for some time.”
Ethan said lovingly, “The food in the airport isn’t that authentic. Rest and recover from the jet lag. I’ll bring you to eat more food when you’re rested.”
“Okay,” Olivia responded quickly.
Brian followed them into the restaurant. Ethan had just reprimanded him, so he felt a little fearful.
He mustered his courage and walked next to Ethan and Olivia. He kept his head lowered and said carefully, “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Miller Senior is still waiting to dine with you at home.”
Olivia could guess from Brian’s attitude how Ethan’s mother felt about her. If the mother-in-law didn’t like her that much, she probably wouldn’t get much chance to eat her fill at dinner.
Olivia saw the time was getting late, so she didn’t want to risk going hungry. Her stomach was delicate. It would hurt if she ate too much, too little, or didn’t eat. So, it was important that she got to eat.
Olivia didn’t care who she used to be. She just wanted to treat herself better.
Before she could answer, Ethan said, “I just need to take a quick bite. It won’t take long.”
Ethan took the blame upon himself. Brian couldn’t say anything more, so he took his leave. Olivia didn’t beat around the bush. Her goal was to eat her fill.
She ate until she burped with satisfaction. Then, she wiped her mouth and stood up.
Ethan said with a smile, “You ate so much. Are you even going to eat dinner at home?”
Olivia winked and said, “I have a feeling that trouble is waiting for us at home.”
She leaned toward Ethan’s ear and said, “Does your mother not like me?”
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 …
