Chapter 640
The Miller Residence was located in the suburban area of Grovale. It was a lovely place with mountains and rivers around.
Lush vegetation covered every corner along the way to the residence.
The city’s lights were unique. Some resembled star-shaped light strings cascading from tall plants. There were also lights shaped like mushrooms, pumpkins, various small animals, and fairy lanterns.
It was like Ethan and his company had wandered into a fantasy world rather than a typical city. By the time they arrived at the Miller Residence, it was already 8:00 pm.
The Miller Residence was enormous. A garden surrounded it. It was hard to see in the dark, but one could discern the silhouettes of the pruned rose bushes at the roadside.
There was a rich scent of flowers in the air. Birds flew away frantically as the car drove by.
The villa possessed the unique style of this city. It was brightly lit from all sides.
Olivia looked at it from afar. It was countless times bigger than the villa they lived in.
Looking from the front, it looked like it was the pearly gates of heaven. It looked like a holy and sacred place.
Olivia followed Ethan into the living room while stepping on the soft, long-pile carpet. Everywhere she looked, the decor was grand and magnificent.
Olivia felt like she was in a palace. There were valuable paintings and antiques wherever she looked. The whole place was simply glorious.
Luckily, Olivia wasn’t from a regular family either. So, she didn’t react too strongly to her surroundings.
Instead, she felt a little uneasy. The place didn’t feel like a home. It was more like a museum or palace.
It didn’t feel like a place where people lived.
Ethan’s expression was solemn.
Olivia felt like he wasn’t returning home but visiting a grave, or it was like he was at a formal event. Even Olivia started to feel
tense.
Olivia hadn’t asked about Ethan’s mother much on the way here. His three-year-old birthday party probably left a deep impression.
They were about to meet. What face would he make?
Olivia looked at Ethan with curiosity. He was pursing his l*ps, and he had a piercing demeanor.
An emotionless female voice came from above, “You’re here.”
The voice was calm and indifferent, like a chilly beam coming from the sky.
Olivia raised her head instinctively and saw a woman in a white dress standing on the second floor of the spiral staircase.
Olivia gasped. She had guessed that the mother of a handsome man like Ethan would be gorgeous.
Thinking back to her past, Olivia thought Ethan’s mother would be a wild but beautiful woman.
But the woman before her wasn’t at all wild. She was like a queen. Elegant and majestic like the moon, someone you could only admire from afar but never dare to approach.
Her exquisite features made her look like she hadn’t aged a day. Her white dress, pale skin, and the blue bracelet on her wrist made her look stunning.
No matter how Olivia looked, Ethan’s mother, Janice Procter, was a calm and beautiful woman. She didn’t look like she would lose her mind for love.
What was Kenneth Miller thinking, leaving such a beautiful woman like her? Even Olivia felt attracted to Janice when she laid her eyes on her.
Olivia thought Janice would be more excited to see the son she hadn’t seen in a long time. Instead, she was calm.
Ethan replied calmly, “Yeah.”
Like mother, like son.
Ethan grabbed Olivia’s hand and introduced her. “Mom, this is your daughter-in-law, Olivia Fordham.”
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 …
