Chapter 317
It was probably because of the gentle sea breeze or the warm sunset.
Or perhaps it was because Olivia was a lonely person who had been staying in the snow fields for toolong.
If anyone treated her just a little nicely, she would lower her guard.
She wasn’t sure why, but she followed Ethan onto the island.
Snowball was being nice. When it saw her leaving, it went after her as well.
The island was beautiful. It wasn’t big, but it was well-equipped.
There were many flowers on the island. Different flowers would bloom here all year round.
For example, the path she was walking on right now was flanked by blooming cherry trees.
Without the intervention of janitors, the flowers were free to grow and fall. The path was alreadycovered in petals.novelbin
As a light breeze picked up, the petals swirled and danced in the air.
Snowball seemed to be fond of this place. It kept rolling around in the petals.
The beautiful sea was right beside them. The seawater was clear and spotless. Even the sand on thebeach was fine and cream- colored.
The surface of the sea was calm as it basked in the warm glow of the sun. The sea glimmered underthe sunlight.
Without a doubt, this place was beautiful.
It was like a haven. In just five minutes, Olivia forgot everything bad that had ever happened.
Gently taking Olivia’s hand, Ethan walked toward the center of the island.
After Olivia left the cherry trees, she entered a path surrounded by ginkgo trees.
Ginkgo trees aged hundreds of years lined the path. New shoots had appeared on their branches.
It wasn’t hard for Olivia to imagine the beautiful scenery in the fall.
As they pressed forward, plum trees welcomed them..
There was even an orchard, some animals, and rich cultivated soil.
This was the dream home Olivia once told Ethan about. It would be situated on an uncharted island,away from the noise. She could forget about worldly troubles for a moment.
Even the houses were built differently from the villas in the city. They were made with bamboo andwood, and they had a primitive style about them.
The amenities inside were quite modern, though.
Olivia could see that this wasn’t built in mere days. She felt a little touched.
She then remembered the island covered in cherry trees. That was where his engagement ceremonywas held. Quickly returning to her senses, she stopped smiling.
“What’s the matter? Is there something you don’t like?” Ethan seemed to care a lot about herpreferences.
“Mr. Miller, should I describe you as thoughtful or faithful?”
Olivia couldn’t help the cold tone in her voice. “You prepared all this for Marina, too, right?”
“Liv, do you not recognize this? Everything here was prepared according to your preferences.
“Marina has never come here before. Do you like it?”

“Are my preferences that important?”
Olivia smiled self-mockingly. “After all, no matter what I like, she would come and snatch everythingfrom me in the end.
“Be it a man, a gown, or a house, as long as she asked for it, you’d give her everything. You’d evenpluck the stars from the sky for her.
“Ethan, how should I answer you? Even if I said that I liked it, it would probably be hers soon enough.
“As long as she wants it, I have no choice but to offer it to her.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but every single syllable was extremely heavy. The words stabbed Ethan in theheart.
For a moment, Ethan had the urge to tell Olivia the truth, but now wasn’t a good time.
He licked his lips, a hint of remorse flashing across his eyes. “She won’t know of this place.”
Hearing that, Olivia chuckled. “So I can only take what she doesn’t want. I even have to hide the goodthings from her.
“If she asks for it, you’d still give her the island you built for me, right?”
Ethan couldn’t explain it to her. He said simply, “Liv, I’ll make it up to you.”
Seeing how troubled he was, Olivia didn’t ask more questions.
After all, if Ethan truly wanted to say it, he would’ve done so without her prompting him.
“Thank you for your kindness, then.”
Olivia went into a room with Snowball in her arms. Ethan was only left with a vision of a cold figure.Ethan clenched his fists by his side. In the end, he had no choice but to go after her.
