Chapter 57
Keith’s declaration of war made Olivia nervous. She knew Ethan was possessive, even after thedivorce. He once said that he would never want to see her happy.
However, she’d only embarrass Keith in front of everyone if she rejected his advance. She foundherself between a rock and a hard place.
Everly helped her out with a grin. She said to Keith, “Of course you can! The easiest way to forget anex is to get a new date! Keith, you’re a great guy. Take your time and get to know each other. I reallyhope Olivia meets someone decent to help her heal. You know, she has been badly hurt by thatbastard.”novelbin
Everly made it sound as if Olivia and Keith were a thing. Olivia hurriedly stopped her friend. “Eve!”
Blinded by revenge, Everly did not heed Olivia’s warning.
“Why are you acting all shy? Do you really plan to die alone after the divorce? Keith is different fromthat jerk! Keith, are you free these days? I’m visiting Mohe Town with Liv, but I’m a little concernedabout our safety.”
“It’s my honor to offer you protection.” Keith stared at Olivia longingly.
Everly stole a look at Ethan and felt satisfied after seeing his sour face.
Ethan did not say a word, using only his hostility to remind them of his presence.
Calvin jumped in and changed the topic. “As Olivia’s former classmate, I’m glad she found herhappiness. It’s an honor to meet Mr. Miller in person too. I shall make a toast to Mr. Miller and Marina.Here’s to a long and happy marriage!”
His good wishes immediately cheered Marina up. She was about to drink when she noticed Ethan didnot raise his glass.
Given his social status, he refused to entertain everyone who made a toast to him. Marina awkwardlyexplained that Ethan refrained from drinking for health reasons. But everyone knew he was putting onairs.
Nobody urged him to drink, but he went around the room with Marina to greet the guests out of respect.
Calista, who never saw eye to eye with Olivia, was unhappy at all the attention on Olivia. She remindedOlivia with a disgusted face, “Hey, don’t tell me you’re waiting for Ethan to approach your table justbecause you’re the high and mighty Ms. Fordham. What are you standing there for? You should go upto Mr. and Mrs. Miller instead!“
The mention of Mrs. Miller always caught Olivia off guard. She stared blankly at the new couple, whoseemed to love dressing up in monochrome couple outfits. He was dressed in black, and she was inwhite. They looked great together
When she was still with Ethan, he never brought her to events or social gatherings.
She once confronted him about it, to which he claimed that he wanted to keep her hidden for hersafety. That left her wondering if he had made a lot of enemies. But she wasn’t too bothered by the lackof acknowledgement as long as he loved her
Thinking back, she was naive to have believed in his stupid excuse. If he truly loved her, he would haveshown her off to
everyone.
Perhaps, he had been biding his time for Marina. All the talk of vendetta could have been an excuse tojustify his extramarital affair.
At that moment, Ethan was so close yet so distant from her. Suddenly, he was reduced to nothing morethan a stranger ve the memories she cherished seemed to have faded
It was male nature to seek as many companions as possible. How could she have foolishly believedshe was lucky enough to stumble upon a faithful partner?
