Olivia finally managed to convince Connor to see things her way. He was still young and wasn’t as
stubborn as Ethan.
Ali his thoughts were centered around Olivia. He might look like Ethan, but his personality resembled
Olivia’s. He was considerate.
People like them usually had it harder. They would always put other people before themselves and never
consider their own interests.
That night, Connor fell asleep in Olivia’s arms. His arms grabbed onto her sleeves uneasily. Olivia felt
another pang in her heart when she looked at the wounds on his face.
She knew there would be more injuries to come. Connor’s path was one riddled with pain and suffering.
Despite that, she would still be leaving him. Olivia felt terrible and sad.
But she knew that Ethan and Connor wouldn’t be able to protect her forever if she didn’t make any
changes.
She would be dead if she ever sl*pped up. She only had one life, so all she could do was grow stronger. Or
else people like Krystal could slap her without any consequences.
She would be nothing without Ethan’s authority. Moreover, Ethan’s identity had been leaked. It was no
longer safe for her to stay with him.
Olivia had learned her lesson from her failed marriage with Ethan. She couldn’t allow herself to dwell on
the present. She had to plan for her and her kids’ future.
Ethan snuck into the room after Connor was sound asleep. Olivia immediately tensed up when his chest
was pressed against her back.
“What are you doing?” she whispered.
Ethan wrapped his hands around her waist and said softly, “Don’t be alarmed. I’m just going to sleep with
my arms around you.”
Olivia immediately doubted his words. She felt like he was plotting something.
But Ethan didn’t do anything to her. He just had his arms around her waist without making another move.
“Are you planning to leave tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” Olivia replied softly.

“If that makes you happy, I’ll be okay with it. I’m just afraid that… you won’t want me anymore.”
“Silly boy, I told you that you’re the same as your siblings. You’re all precious to me. I love you a lot too. I’ll
be visiting you more in the future.”
Olivia noticed the necklace around Connor’s neck. She pulled it out to look at it. It was the emerald
necklace.
“I designed this for you personally. It carries the hope I have for you. I hope you can be happy every day
and grow up healthily.”
Connor stuck his hand out. “Mom, you have to keep your promise. You have to come visit me again.”
Olivia made a pinky promise to him with a smile on her face.
“Alright, I promise. Let’s live together after you grow up a little bit more, okay? You need to grow up into a
man soon so that I don’t have to worry so much.”
“Alright, Mom. I got it.”
“You’re my perfect little baby.”
Olivia patted him on the back and started to tell him about the things that happened when he was
younger while holding him in her arms.
“Do you still remember the cherry blossoms on the island? Why don’t I bring you there and show you the
next time they bloom?”
“It’s a promise, Mom! I’ll hold you to it!”
