Chapter 582
What happened was completely different from what Olivia had thought. The things her father left herwere indeed priceless to her, but they didn’t really have any actual monetary value.
So, the comments on her post were wrong. Ethan wasn’t after her money. In that case, what could shehave that a man like Ethan would covet?
They stayed at the Fordham residence for a while longer, but Olivia couldn’t remember anything.
Before they left, Snowball followed Olivia out. She wanted to suggest bringing Snowball with her butstopped herself. It was like she subconsciously knew that Ethan didn’t like cats.
“What’s wrong?”
Olivia pointed to Snowball and asked, “Can I bring her with me?”
Snowball was an old cat and didn’t have long to live. Olivia wanted to stay with Snowball for theremainder of her lifespan.
Ethan agreed readily, “Sure, I’ll get someone to bring her home. Let’s continue our date.”
Olivia pondered over his words. “So, this is a date?”
Smiling, Ethan held her hand. “What else could it be? It’s perfectly normal for us to go on dates. We’remarried. I’m legally allowed to take you on dates.”
Ethan was in the driver’s seat, and he helped Olivia with her seat belt.
“Did we used to go on dates often?”
Ethan looked straight ahead and said truthfully, “Not really. I used to be very busy and often went onbusiness trips. I didn’t have much time to spend with you. But, from now on, I’ll try my best to maketime for you.”
Ethan’s expression was calm. There wasn’t any sign that pointed to him lying.
“Liv, your visa has already been applied for. If you don’t have any objections, we can go to Xylandia atthe end of the month after I’m done with the work on hand. You can further your studies there. You canmeet my mom too.”
Olivia was puzzled. “Have I never met her before?”
Burgess had mentioned that they had lived with Ethan’s grandparents before, but she didn’t mentionEthan’s mom.
“No, my mom has a mental condition and has been getting treatment these past years. I didn’t bringyou to meet her before because I was afraid it might exacerbate her condition. Her condition hasstabilized over the past six months. I think it’ll be okay for you to meet her.”
Olivia felt anxious because she was about to meet her mother-in-law.
“What kind of person is your mother?”
“She…”novelbin
Ethan fell silent. He didn’t know how to describe his mother.
Since he was young, they had spent the better part of their lives apart from each other. After his sisterwas born, Ethan had to take care of her. His mother’s condition was unstable, and when she had anepisode, she would be full of bloodlust and get violent.
Leia wasn’t the only one who got abused. Ethan had also been hurt by his mother when he was young.And it wasn’t an isolated incident.
Since he was young, he had mixed feelings about his mother. He loved her but also feared her. Heforced himself to be independent and subsequently became busy with many things. So, he never reallyinteracted with his mother all that much.
Whenever his mother had an episode, she wouldn’t even recognize him as her son. Sometimes, she’deven treat him like an enemy. He never felt his mother’s love that much. He barely even saw her in anormal state. So, he didn’t really know what to

say about his mother.
“You’ll know when you see her.”
“But will she even like me? I heard that mothers-in-law never get along with their daughters-in-law.”
Ethan smiled when he heard Olivia’s murmurs. Holding her hand, he said, “Of course, she’ll like you.My wife is the most lovable person in the world. No one could possibly hate you.”
Face flushed, Olivia shook her hand free. “Focus on driving. We don’t want to get into an accident.”
“Liv, would you be sad if I died?” Ethan suddenly asked.
