Even After Death

Chapter 1005

Olivia's heart skipped a beat.

Ethan added, "Had it not been for you, I would've lost my life.

"You're my savior, and I'm genuinely grateful to you.

Once I recover, I will surely repay this favor." For some reason, she imagined a story of a hero saving amaiden in distress, in which the maiden would repay the favor by marrying the hero.

Olivia and Ethan had divorced years ago, and they had drawn the line that they wouldn't intervene ineach other's lives anymore.

Yet, an ambiguous emotion stirred in her at the idea of him marrying another woman.

Perhaps it was her unwillingness to accept her defeat.

Ethan was the man she had loved since her school days.

She had imagined building a big family and growing old with him countless times.

During their newlywed days, her eyes were always on him as he owned all of her heart.

At that time, she had never thought that their marriage would fail one day and that someone else wouldstand by his side.

Still, reality would always hit at the most unexpected moments.

Olivia tried her best not to be swayed by him.

Her voice was indifferent.

"How are you going to repay me?" “That's up to you.

What do you want?" he questioned back.

Connor was the first person she thought of.

She wondered if he would give her the boy's custody if she asked for it.

"T'll come up to you to claim what I want in the future." "Judging from your accent, you must be fromArlandia.

What's your name?" He didn't expose her.

"You can call me Vanessa." "If you didn't grow up in Arlandia, you wouldn't have been able to speak thelanguage this fluently.

1 don't think this is your real name, is it?" Olivia was annoyed for some reason.

''Why are you digging into my information, Mr. Miller? Are you going for a cliche? Where you marry meto repay my favor?" "If I'm going to do that, that is still on the condition that you're willing to do so." Shethought, "I guess it's all bullshit when he told me that I'm the only person he loves.

He's a playboy! I bet he has flirted with a lot of women while I'm gone." The more she thought about it,the more annoyed she became.

"Don't worry.

I'd rather marry a pig than you." She turned and left in frustration.

She even waved the fan in her hand stronger.

Noticing Olivia's displeasure, he smiled instead of getting angry.

He thought, "I knew you'd still love me, Liv.

How could you give up on someone that you've loved so deeply before?" However, soon, Ethancouldn't find himself smiling anymore.

Even though she hadn't forgotten about him, way too many things happened between them andseparated them.

He sighed deeply.

Olivia watched the fire while contemplating if she should make his condition worse as a punishment forflirting with women.

By the time she calmed down, she figured that she was being childish.

She didn't have the right to intervene in whoever Ethan interacted with anyway.

She had gone missing for more than three years, so he might have assumed that she was dead.

“He couldn't possibly become a widower for her, could he?" she thought.

Things broke into pieces to fall back into their places in reality.

That was how life worked.

The sound of water splashing resounded behind her.

Worrying that something might happen to Ethan, Olivia quickly looked back, only to see him getting outof the spring.

He was clad in the robe as his fingers fiddled with the belt.

Then, he realized that it didn't come with a belt.

She looked at the belt, which was placed nearby.

Since he couldn't see, she admitted her fate and put her fan down.

She picked it up from the ground.

Olivia reckoned that he wouldn't be able to tie it properly due to his eyesight, hence the unfriendly tone.

“Don't move." He stood at his place and spread his arms, and she wrapped the belt around his waist.novelbin

The water droplets traveled along his chest before vanishing between his abs.

The sight caused her to blush as she hurriedly tied it for him.

He was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Given the distance, he could hug her if he withdrew his arms.
