Chapter 1140
Even After Death
There wasnât any change in Linusâ tone. âAre you sure youâre alright?â
âIâm a doctor, Mr. Heath. I know my condition very well.
Thanks for the concern. Itâs getting cold. You should rest up.â
The footsteps faded out, and Ethan buried his face in her neck. âLinus has taken a liking to you.â
Linus and Olivia had been getting along as friends, and he had been showing an interest in her.
Although Olivia thought that it was not that likely, she could feel that he was paying a little too much
attention to her.
She couldnât distinguish the cause of such attention, whether it was due to love or gratitude.
âDonât take everything as a love matter.â
Ethan bent over to carry her to the bed. âYouâre still as naive as ever, Liv.
Thereâs no such thing as pure goodwill. When a man cares for a woman, it canât be anything else than
love.â
Her tresses lay across the sheet. He held a strand of it to his nose to sniff it.
âUnfortunately, youâre mine and can only be mine.â
The night was meant to be a crazy night.
Tatiana brought over a basin of water to Masonâs side.
Tatiana had mixed Oliviaâs herbs in it so that he could have a foot spa.
âMason, weâve known each other for decades. Weâve been through thick and thin together. Now, weâre
already over 70 years old. Time really does fly.â
He lifted her chin. âYouâre still beautiful. Iâm the only one aging.â
She was younger than him by over ten years. Long years of dedication to work had definitely taken a
toll on his appearance, unlike her. Tatiana did facial care every day.
Rather than a couple, they appeared more like a father and daughter.
She held Masonâs hand. Nonsense. Everyone grows old. Marrying you is the luckiest thing that ever
happened to me.
Thereâs only one thing left on my mind, our children.â
âI know what you want to say, but Ethan ainât willing to marry her. I canât just force him with a knife over
his neck, can I?â
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm just asking for your support if I have a better idea to make him marry her.â
âAre you thinking about those underhanded methods again? Iâm telling you, the situation now is totally
different. My status back then was different from Ethanâs.â
Mason clearly had some bad experiences with that.
âIt doesnât matter how we make it work. What matters is it works. Iâve given you plenty of time. Since
you canât deal with him, leave it to me.â
He realized something. âNo wonder you insisted on me hosting this party. You told me that you wanted
to look for someone suitable for Linus. But youâre actually up to something else!
âHave you ever thought about your identity? Put the possibility of success aside, even if the plan is
successful, do you want Ethan to look down on us forever?â
Tatianaâs expression turned cold. âI only know that you taught me that thereâs nothing I canât do as long
as I give my all in whatever I do.â
Mason placed his hand over his chest. âDid I say that so that you could do such shameless deeds?
Youâre seriously going to give me a heart attack. Where are they? Stop them! Hurry!â
She sneered. âItâs too late. The maid told me that she heard noises coming from the room. Iâm afraid
Ethan is giving Krystal all his love, mistaking her for Olivia.â
He slapped her. âJust what did you do!â
