Chapter 104
Even After Death
Marina found Oliviaâs question hilarious. âIf Iâm not his mother, who else is? You?â
âIf you are his mother, you shouldnât be this coldâblanded. Heâs having an allergic reaction and has
fallen from the stairs
âThe first thing you did isnât protect him and comfort him, but to attack me. Do you even call yourself a
mother?â
Marina said, âNow that Ethanâs here, donât assume that youâll be able to restore his feelings for you by
defening me
âEthan was there when I gave birth to Connor. He knows very well that I am Connorâs motherâ
Olivia couldnât care less to continue the boring topic with her.
The incident proved that some people were unsuitable to be a mother because of their inherent
character.
Connorâs nanny rushed over with a basin of water. Olivia took his top off to place the naplón on him.
But something was weird.
Kids usually cried or threw a tantrum when they suffered from itchy rashes.
Yet, Connor was all quiet. His eyes were fixated on her as he grasped the hem of her clothes tightly,
wanting her to stay
It was as though he wasnât afraid as long as she stayed by his side.
âHold it right there. What are you doing to my son?â Marina was obviously against the cold
compression.
Olivia shot her a cold look. âIt will contract the veins and stave the itchiness off. Heâs not feeling well
right now
âIt takes a single scratch for the rashes to spread. The worst case scenario is that it might cause a
fever â
Marina wanted to say something, but Ethan stopped her sternly. âShut up.â
Throughout the two years, it was the first time Olivia witnessed him treating Marina that way.
Marina clearly felt wronged about it. Soon, she began causing trouble.
She said, âI have always been extra careful when it comes to Connorâs diet. Why is he suddenly having
an allergic reaction? What did he eat?â
A maid answered, âMaster Connor ate half a slice of honey cake. Ms. Fordham baked it.â
Marina glared at Olivia. âOlivia Fordham, how dare you feed him a honey cake! You knew that heâs
allergic to itâ
âHeâs allergic to honey?â Olivia was surprised to find a similarity between herself and Connor.
âStop playing dumb! You came here for Fordham residence and offered a honey cake in order to
please me
âI didnât drive you away because I treated you as a guest. And yet, you have an ulterior motive. Just
come at me if you How could you harm a mere kid?
âItâs not only that. Ethan, look at my neck. She was trying to kill me!â
Marina knew that Connor was Ethanâs priority. Anyone that hurt Connor would be in big trouble.
She thought that as long as she could shift the blame to Olivia, he would let the incident slide.
Olivia finally realized that Marina was setting her up all along. That was why Marina requested a honey
cake
Olivia figured that Marina wouldnât have kept her promise even if Olivia had disfigured her face and left
the city
A calculating woman who used her son to her advantage would never keep her promise.
As an afterthought, Oliviaâs heart ached for Connor. Judging from Marinaâs attitude, she was clearly not
a mother materie!
Ethan didnât take Marinaâs side like he always did. He scolded sternly, âShut up! You keep finding fault
in others ever since 1
came.
âDo you even care about Connorâ I canât help but wonder how you have been fulfilling your duties as a
minthag
His gaze swept across her outfit Her halfâpolished toenails disgusted him
âEthan, Iâ
âGet out I donât want to see you right now âForget about keeping her pride Refraining from strangling
her to death moment was his best concession
âDo you even care about Connor? I canât help but wonder how you have been fulfilling your duties as a
mother.â
His gaze swept across her outfit. Her halfâpolished toenails disgusted him.
âEthan, I-â
âGet out. I donât want to see you right now.â Forget about keeping her pride. Refraining from strangling
her to death at this moment was his best concession.
