Chapter 1155
Even After Death
Rustling sounds came from behind, indicating that the two had claimed the seats.
Oliviaâs senses caught that intimidating gaze even without her looking back.
As if someone had her at gunpoint, she didnât dare to act recklessly. Pins and needles of uneasiness
poked her skin.
It was fortunate that Warren was a quiet man.
âLinus, how long are you going to be in the city for?â asked the female voice, so soft that it could
stimulate oneâs sense of protectiveness.
Linus replied impassively, âPlease remain silent when the show is ongoing.â
Olivia was rendered speechless, thinking, âBehold the most insensitive man in the world. No wonder
heâs still single in his 30s.â
Her heart suddenly swelled in gratitude as she reflected on the past.
Although Ethan had a cold disposition at that time, he treated her gently and with care. He would never
blurt such words to her either.
Considering how difficult it was to enjoy a date with Linus, she wished Linusâ date the best.
As Olivia expected, the woman didnât speak further. Only music filled their ears.
From the moment he entered the audience seats, Linus felt a gaze from the front focusing on him.
But whenever he raised his eyes, that woman had cast her attention to the front.
Sitting behind her, he could only see the back of her head and a pair of pearl earrings hanging from her
ears.
A faint scent wafted his nose seconds after he claimed his seat and his eyes brightened.
It smelled like herbs! It smelled like Vanessaâs natural body scent!
Wondering if she was here as well, he scrutinized the area. There were women around him, but none
of them was her.
Linus didnât know much about women. Could it be that it was a popular perfume brand among the
ladies?
Spending most of his time with men gave him the initial idea that it was a distinct natural scent of
Vanessaâs.
After all, the women he interacted with before had the inclination to wear perfume.
It smelled either graceful, strong, or fruity, but never like herbs.
The only face he didnât check was the woman sitting right in front of him.
An icy sensation traced down Oliviaâs spine, and her hair stood on end. She wondered if it was her
mere delusion.
âMan, itâs hard to ignore his presence,â she inwardly exclaimed.
What would the Heaths do to her when they found out that she was Olivia Fordham? That she had
been deceiving them with a fake identity?
If she had known that today wasnât her lucky day, she wouldnât have asked Warren to meet up.
She basically dug her own grave.
When the music show ended, Olivia gracefully rose to her feet to blend in with the crowd.
Despite her fast pace, Linus had zeroed in on her.
âLinus, wait up! Slow down!â His date lifted the hem of her dress, trying to catch up with him in her
heels but to no avail.
Olivia, acting as if nothing was wrong, said to Warren, âSorry, but I need to go to the washroom.â
âOkay. Iâll go start the car first. Iâll wait for you by the road.â
She then dashed to the ladiesâ, cooping herself inside for ten minutes.
When she figured that Linus had left with his date, she strode out of the washroom gracefully.
Right then, a shuffling sound could be heard.
It belonged to the rolling of a lighterâs sparkwheel!
She looked across her shoulder instinctively and met a pair of cold eyes.
It was Linus!
His eyes caught every nuance of her expression.
It was possible for him to recognize Ethanâs ex-wife, but Olivia had never seen him with this face.
The notion settled her nerves, and she attempted to shift her gaze calmly.
âWait up,â he stopped her.
