Female Novel
Chapter 1053
The fierce rippling of the water gradually calmed down.
Blown by the wind, a flower on the branch gently landed on the surface of the water. Ethan casually
scooped it up and put it in Olivia's hair.
Olivia glanced at him with displeasure. Then, she skilfully gathered her hair and tied it into a bun.
"Let's leave as soon as we're done resting. The weather is nice today, so we should take the
opportunity to walk as far as possible. You'll need at least a week to get out of this forest," Olivia
reminded Ethan.
"Okay."
Ethan brought along the fish he had caught last night. The fish would suffice as supplies for their next
stop.
After the two gathered their things, Ethan stood at the entrance of the cave with the large hiking
backpack on his back.
He turned around and glanced at the cave, seemingly a little reluctant to part with it.
Olivia stood ahead of him, saying with a cold expression, "Come on, let's get going."
It was only then that Ethan returned to his senses. "Let's go."
He would never forget this place as long as he was alive.
The next night, Ethan and Olivia couldn't find shelter, so Ethan could only build a makeshift hammock
with vines. The two huddled together in the sleeping bag, gazing at the sky full of stars above them.
It was their first time experiencing something like that.
"Liv, I suddenly feel like this is the life I truly want."
He was tired of all the fighting. He only wanted to focus on his love life now.
But this wasn't what Olivia wanted, so she didn't respond to him.
Ethan was already happy enough that he could hold her in his arms.
He planted a kiss on Olivia's forehead. "I won't make you suffer tonight. Goodnight, babe."
Olivia was the treasure he had spent a lot of effort to retrieve. From today onward, he wouldn't hurt her
ever again.
The journey was smooth for them from then on. Ethan was surprised that Olivia had gotten much
stronger compared to before.
She could walk vigorously for a few miles in a forest like that, and she didn't seem unaccustomed to it
at all. It was as if she had already gotten used to days like this a long time ago.
By the looks of it, Olivia had led quite an interesting life in the past few years.
When the two made it out of the forest, they found themselves at a small fishing village at the foot of
the mountain. Fortunately, the place had both electricity and internet access.novelbin
Ethan managed to contact Brent. Because of the long distance, Brent would only be able to arrive the
next day.
Olivia and Ethan lodged in a family's house. The family was very friendly. The elders had loving looks in
their eyes, and even their sons and daughters were kind as well.
"I can see that you're a married couple on a camping trip. It's quite dangerous in the mountains, so you
shouldn't go there at night. I've asked Emma to prepare a room for you two to spend the night in."
"Thank you," Olivia expressed her gratitude.
The sky was turning dark. After getting out of the mountains, Olivia finally got to take a hot shower. Her
whole body felt much better now.
Even though the mattress on the wooden bed wasn't from an expensive brand, it was much more
comfortable than sleeping in the mountain.
When Ethan was done with his shower, he walked in to see Olivia sprawled comfortably on the bed.
Her legs were crossed, and she was making a call on her phone.
Ethan grabbed her ankle. "Babe, who are you chatting with?"
When Ethan spoke up, Olivia had already ended the call. "No one. I was just letting my friend know that
I'm safe."
Ethan half-narrowed his eyes as a dangerous gleam appeared in them. His hand trailed up from
Olivia's ankle, and his voice had a suggestive tone to it. "Is it Jack?"
"No," Olivia replied decisively.
"Then is it—" Ethan wanted to keep asking.
Olivia grabbed his ill-intentioned hand. "I don't think we're close enough for me to tell you everything."
After being separated from him for so many years, she had already established her world.
Ethan half-crouched by the bed and said in a humble voice, "What do you think we are, Liv?"
Olivia bent over, caressing his chin with her fingers. For the past few days, because of the lack of
razors, short and tough stubble had grown on his chin.
"If I have to give our relationship a name, I'll call us lovers. I don't want anyone else to touch me, and I
only want your body. Do you understand now?"
