Even After Death

Chapter 530

Chapter 530

“Mrs. Miller.” Cyril looked pitiful. “It’s not that I can’t win her heart. Her heart is occupied with anotherman. How can she even look at anyone else?”

Olivia thought about it. He had a point.

After all, when she was in love with Ethan back then, she didn’t even spare a look at the other menconfessing to her.

Now, she didn’t even remember what those men looked like.

“Don’t give up. You’ll get a wife eventually.”

“I’m not getting one anymore.”

“You’re so stubborn.” Olivia facepalmed. Each of these people was more stubborn than the next.

“Mrs. Miller, it’s raining soon, so don’t go out at night. You might slip and fall in the yard.”

“Okay.”

Olivia continued drinking her soup. The children in her tummy were quite active at that moment. Oliviadecided to walk around the room before going to sleep.

Rain poured all through the night, accompanied by instances of thunder. Olivia couldn’t sleep well allnight.

The next day, the rain was still going strong. Olivia had no choice but to read a book by the window.

“Olivia, I’m back.”

Mona’s loud voice could be heard even before entering the house. She was even carrying somesnacks.

Running over to Olivia, she stuffed the snacks in Olivia’s hands.

“You told me that you wanted to eat crepes, right? I bought these for you.”

“I haven’t had any in a long time. I was craving it.”

As Olivia ate, she asked, “How’s it going between you and your ideal man?”

Mona said shyly, “He confessed his feelings for me last night. Look, this is the bracelet he gave me. Hegot someone to hand- make it for me overseas.

“It’s not very pricey, but he’s sincere about it. It even has my zodiac sign! Cute, right?”

Olivia watched Mona playing with the bracelet, knowing that Mona was utterly smitten.

“You can accept the necklace, but you have to rein in your feelings a bit. Remember what I said?”

“Don’t worry, Olivia, I understand. He knows all about my family’s circumstances. I’m so poor, so whatwould he want from me? He’s sincerely good to me.”

Sitting beside Olivia, Mona said a lot of good things about Warren Tovar.

Olivia sighed. A woman knee-deep in love would never hear a word others said.

For the whole morning, Mona looked at the bracelet in a daze. She even swung the pendant from timeto time.

“Come on, stop looking at it. You’ve been admiring it all morning.”

Mona waved it in front of Olivia again. “But it’s stunning. The rat’s head is very nicely made, and it looksso lively.”

At the side, Madam Burgess smiled. “He won you over with just a bracelet? You have no idea what Mr.Miller used to court Mrs. Miller back then. He put in a lot of effort.”

Mona was excited when she heard that. “How did Mr. Miller do it? I’m super curious about it. I can’t findanything about Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller’s romance when I looked it up.”

“Oh, he-”

Quietly, Olivia coughed twice. Madam Burgess could only shut up. “Forget it. I’m going to preparelunch.”

Mona felt like she shouldn’t bother Olivia any longer.

Olivia paced around in the room, supporting her tummy. She would look outside from time to time.

The rain didn’t seem to stop anytime soon.

She would look outside sometimes. She spotted Cyril standing alone in the corridor, looking at the rainin a daze.

His efforts were wasted.

The rain went on for a whole day. The sea raged endlessly like a monster.

Olivia felt a little restless when she heard the thunder outside. The children also seemed to havesensed her unease, and they kicked around in her tummy.

“Such naughty children! If you’re not going to bed, then I am. Goodnight, darlings.”

She had just closed her eyes when another thunder roared outside.

Olivia instantly opened her eyes again. Her heart was beating rapidly.

On a few occasions in the past, she had the same feeling right before disaster struck. Olivia caressedher chest. She had no idea what was going on that day.

The room was in complete darkness, and the lightning would streak by from time to time. It was brightfor a second or two before the light disappeared.

Olivia turned on the lamp on her bedside table. She looked at her arm. The hairs were standing on end.

People would have their hair stand on end when they sensed something terrible on the horizon.

Olivia called Cyril, who answered. “Is something the matter, Mrs. Miller?”

“Is everything alright outside?”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Miller. The surveillance room is staffed every hour of the day. I’ll inform you as soonas something happens.”

“Alright. Thanks for your hard work.”

Olivia turned off the lights. She must be overthinking it.

In the room next door, Mona was still lovestruck. She lay in her bed as she messaged Warren.

Warren suddenly asked her to share her location.

Mona thought that they had already gotten IP technicians to set things up for them, so she assumedthat the actual address wouldn’t be exposed even if she tapped in.

She wanted to tease Warren a little, so she tapped into the location-sharing feature.

Their two icons were very close to each other.

Mona was startled. She couldn’t understand what was going on.

She wondered if it was some technical issue.

Warren’s icon was nearing hers at top speed. When Mona saw that their icons were about to overlap,her heart thumped wildly.

There must be something wrong. She didn’t understand why Warren would be here.

Just a while ago, he said that he was reading documents at home. There must be some technicalissues on her end.

Mona was thinking about it when lightning streaked across the sky.

As the thunder roared, she was startled to see a figure standing on the balcony outside.novelbin
