Chapter 654
That was something Ethan had already thought about. It was also his biggest fear.
“The drug’s effects are stable. I won’t give her the chance to regain her memories.”
“Nothing in this world is guaranteed. The most important thing you need to do now is to settle
things with Marina. Make sure she doesn’t show up and throw a wrench into your plans.
“Since it’s already come to this, you need to cut losses before it’s too late. You should also try to get
her pregnant again.”
Ethan frowned. “Both of Liv’s pregnancies ended up with premature births. Her b*dy isn’t in good
shape. It would be hard for her to get pregnant.”
“Get someone to nurse her back to health then. Women are emotional creatures. Have you ever
thought of what would happen if she found out what you did to her in the past?”
Ethan thought about how she was still wary of him despite suffering from amnesia. It was
apparent how she was subconsciously rejecting him.
“She would leave without hesitation.”
“That’s right. She would. In her perspective, Connor is the son you had with Marina after you
betrayed her.
“You need to have a baby with her that belongs to both of you. Once there’s a baby in the equation,
she will stay with you for the baby’s sake, no matter how she feels about you.
“She’s the granddaughter-in-law that I approve of. She was also your grandmother’s favorite
person. I don’t want to see you lose her.”
Ethan couldn’t bear the thought of losing Olivia. “Grandpa, I won’t let that happen.”
“I’ll make sure it doesn’t. I’ll think of a way to get her pregnant as soon as possible.”
Ethan looked like he had something to say as doubt flashed in his eyes.
The two premature births were incredibly bad for Olivia’s health. The last one happened just a few
months ago.
Ethan didn’t want to impregnate Olivia again too soon.
But Harold’s words made sense. A baby would be able to bring them closer together. Should he get her pregnant after all?
“Grandpa, I have another question.”
“What is it?”
“Do you really not know who Ms. Nat is?”
Harold replied without hesitation, “I don’t know who that is. Never heard of the name.”
Ethan tried to see if Harold was lying by looking him in the eye, but to no avail.
He didn’t notice Harold’s clenched fists behind his back.
Olivia went from the yard to the living room.
Harold suddenly thrust this task upon her. She had no choice but to ask for Janice’s advice.
Before she walked up to Janice, a voice said pa*sive-aggressively, “Ms. Procter, this is a dish I just learned how to make. Is it to your tastes? Isn’t this Ms. Fordham? Did you just wake up?”
Olivia rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Ms. Shaw, you sure came early. Even the maids aren’t as
eager as you.”
“How can you be so lazy as a daughter-in-law? Is it because your parents died early, and you had
no one to teach you manners?
“You must’ve come from a poor family, so you aren’t as disciplined as someone from the Shaw
Family …”
Olivia couldn’t help but let a chuckle sl*p as she went over to sit next to Janice.
“What are you laughing at? Was I wrong?”
Olivia said cheerily, “Well, weren’t you? I’ve never seen any well-disciplined lady who would visit
the home of a married man so frequently.
“Are you just dumb or oblivious? Don’t you know what it means when a man is married? Or are you waiting for Ethan to take you in as his mistress?”
“You …”
“But you seem to have forgotten about one thing.
2/3
“Even if we ignore the fact that monogamy is the socially accepted norm, Ethan would need to ask for my permission if he wanted to take you as his mistress.
“Do you want to try currying my favor by doing some chores for 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 …
