Chapter 1074
Even After Death
Ethan arrived very soon.
Olivia initially planned to visit again some other day. The idea of meeting him in this kind of situation
made her feel weird.
However, the rushing man arrived before she could bid Otto goodbye.
Marina had done so many things back then. She was the cause of the Carlton coupleâs and Jeffs
death.
Otto was helpless and guilty about it, so he requested Ethan to call off the engagement.
These years, Marina intended to make up for it to win back Ethanâs heart. But she couldnât contact him
because he blocked her number.
Now, Ethan was finally coming! It wasnât easy to meet him. Even Otto was looking forward to it.
If Ethan hadnât refused it, he couldâve been the best candidate to inherit the Carlton family.
The butler informed Marina beforehand, getting her all excited.
She hurriedly set a layer of powder on her face as she didnât want Otto to find out about her matter with
Fabian.
She had driven her parents and Chrisâ death. She didnât want to do the same thing to her grandfather,
who was the only person treating her well.
Fabian took advantage of her guilt and hence he had it his way on her for so many years.
Poppy was the only person in the loop, but she couldnât do anything about it.
âHurry, push me out of the room. Ethan is here.â
Olivia was viewing the snow under the roof when Ethan and his men entered the place with hurried
steps.
All these years, Marina could only look up his information online.
Now that she saw him in person, mixed feelings churned in her stomach.
It was a mixture of joy and excitement.
Forgetting about the condition of her legs, she threw herself at him and fell onto the ground.
Despite the emotional ride in her, she merely called his name, âEthan..â
To her dismay, Ethan paid no heed to her at all. He bypassed her, running toward Olivia.
Even though Olivia was wearing a mask, he was experiencing the same emotional moment as Marina
did the moment he met Oliviaâs eyes.
He loved her and was afraid that she would vanish from his life.
âEthan, youâre finally here.â Ottoâs voice pulled Ethanâs senses back from the reverie.
Only then did Ethan withdraw his gaze and put up an act.â Itâs been a while, Mr.
Carlton Senior. How are you doing lately?â
Otto, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shook his head. Ever since that woman cut off the medicine
supply, his condition was deteriorating.
He was stepping into his waning years.
No matter how much he wanted to deny it, it was a fate that he had to accept.
âHow can I be fine at this age? How could you not visit me at least once?â
âSorry. I was quite busy the past few years.â
While they were sharing words of courtesy, Olivia watched Fabian carry Marina from the ground to her
wheelchair.
Mockery laced the corner of his lips as he whispered into her ear.
Although Olivia couldnât hear him, she could guess what he told Marina.
Ethanâs patience was running out as Otto kept talking to him. Ethan averted the topic, âThis isâ¦â
Otto introduced, âThis is the famous doctor I invited over to treat Marina. Sheâs Vanessa.â
âOh, Vanessa. Iâve heard a lot about you. It is an honor to meet you in person.â
He pretentiously reached out for a handshake.
The corner of Oliviaâs lips twitched. If someone didnât give him an award for his acting, it wouldnât do his
acting justice.
Left with no choice, she stretched her hand out. âNice to meet you, Mr. Miller.â
He tickled her palm lightly while shaking hands with her.
In spite of that, he wore a polite expression. âDo you know me? What have you heard about me?â
She attempted three times before she could withdraw her hand successfully from him.
âI heard that youâre a gentleman who has been staying single after divorce. And that youâre a hot catch
among the ladies in Aldenvine.â
