Chapter 258
Ethan stared quietly at Olivia. She hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days.
The most she did was spend long hours at the hospital a few days ago. Jeff was getting weaker by theday. It was only reasonable for Olivia to want to spend as much time with him as possible.
For the past few days, she didn’t go anywhere outside of the residential area. Everly didn’t come overeither.
She was wearing a beige lace dress. The breeze caressed her face as flower petals danced aroundher. She was exceedingly beautiful.
Ethan realized how gentle Olivia could be when she kept her distance from him.
Olivia looked him in the eye from a distance away. She nodded in place of a greeting. Then, she leftwithout even turning back.
Ethan felt upset. He had made a decision and given her a promise, but he kept breaking his own rulesfor Olivia’s sake.
Seeing that she was about to leave, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Olivia looked at him calmly, then sounded a warning. “Mr. Miller.”
Ethan was wearing his usual suit and leather shoes, but his tie was a little lopsided. A strand of hisusually neat hair hung on his forehead.
This wasn’t like him.
He was getting engaged tomorrow. Logically speaking, he should be on cloud nine at the moment. “Sowhy does he look so sad?” Olivia wondered.
Ethan gulped. “I just feel uneasy.”
He knew he shouldn’t come looking for Olivia, but the uneasiness had been gnawing at him for days.
“Oh.” Olivia blinked, then looked calmly at him.
The sky darkened, and the streetlights above them quietly turned on.novelbin
His tall figure was bathed in the light from the streetlights. The calmness was gone from his face.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
Ethan didn’t know why he had that feeling. The last time he felt this uneasiness was two years ago, theday before Olivia fell
into the ocean.
He felt that something was about to happen.
Olivia looked up into his eyes. Her voice was quiet as she said, “No. Can you let go of me, Mr. Miller?”
Her face seemed to be covered in fog. He couldn’t figure out her true thoughts.
“After all, I don’t want your fiancée to misunderstand.”
“If…”
Ethan hesitantly spoke up. “If you need anything, you can tell me.”
“I need a man. Will you give me that?” Olivia smiled, watching Ethan’s expression turn cold.
“See? If you can’t do it, don’t make promises so casually. Mr. Miller, you probably don’t understand this.But the higher your hopes are, the bigger your disappointment will be.”
Reaching out, she pried his fingers off her wrist. “You once said that I’m the only woman in your life, butin the end, you didn’t keep your word.”
“1…”

When Ethan’s last finger was pried away, Olivia turned her back to him. “Ethan, don’t talk to meanymore. My life has nothing to do with you anymore.”
With that, Olivia ran into the distance.
The petals seemed to be raining down, drowning her figure bit by bit.
Ethan wanted to run after her, but he suddenly realized that he had lost even the right to go after her.
He thought, “What can I say even if I catch up to her? Can I change anything in the end?”
He put a hand to his chest, where his heart was throbbing. “Why do I still feel so uneasy?” hewondered.
Olivia ran into the elevator and then pressed the button to her floor. She gasped heavily for air.
“Things have already come to this point. Why did he come here despite that?” she thought.
When the elevator doors opened with a ding, she slowly walked out. She saw someone standing at theentrance of her home.
Olivia only glanced at the person before turning around and going back into the elevator.
“Liv, don’t go.”
