Chapter 121
Even After Death
Colin did not know how to respond. Although Olivia was talking about Snowball, Colin had the feeling
that she was talking about her own funeral instead.
âIâve got it, Olivia.â
âIt has to be the tallest tree in the yard. That tree blooms with branches full of plum blossoms in the
winter.
âThe scent of the flowers goes well with the cold white snow. Iâll be waiting for her there.â
No one would have guessed that she meant she would be waiting there after she was dead.
âOkay, but you can also visit Snowball when you are free.â
Olivia took off her diamond earrings and handed them to Colin. âI came out in a rush today and donât
have anything on me.
â
âBut please hand these earrings to Snowball. She has always loved shiny little trinkets since she was a
kitten.â
Okay. If youâre too busy, I can also bring her to you if you give me an address. I bet sheâll be delighted
to see you.â
âNo need.â Olivia was running out of time.
Ethan arrived just in time to see Colin pulling Olivia onto the deck. They were standing side by side.
Both of them were wearing black clothes.
Snowflakes were dancing around them. It painted a beautiful picture.
Ethan recalled that Olivia once ruffled his hair a few years ago out of boredom. âItâs boring how you
always just slick your hair back
âYou should try letting your hair down occasionally. Itâll make you look more youthful.â
At that, Ethan suddenly said, âAm I getting old?â
Brent glanced at the youthful Colin and said, âYouâre mature, Mr. Miller. Youâre dignified, unlike the
younger kids.â
âBut she thinks Iâm too old.â
Brent tried to hold back a smile. Recently, Ethan has been acting like a jealous housewife.
âYouâre overthinking things, Mr. Miller. Youâre only 27 years old. Youâre still in the best years of your life.
âCompared to young and immature boys, youâre definitely Mrs. Millerâs type. Youâre the type of man that
most girls are attracted to.â
Right after Brent finished talking, two young ladies walked past them.
One of them said, âI finally got my father to get me two tickets to XOâs concert! Letâs go together after a
few days! I am in love with Ryanâs puppyâdog eyes!â
Ethan frowned and said, âEven brandies hold concerts now?â
Brent covered his mouth with his fist and coughed as he said, âNo, XO is an idol group from Carathia
that quickly rose to fame
after their debut
Ethan was still frowning âEven a dog can debut as a star now?â
Ethan was a very capable man. He could fly jets and man a submarine
He could even make waves in the corporate world. But he knew nothing about the idol industry.
âMr. Miller, she didnât mean a real dog when she said puppy dog eyes. She was talking about young
hunks that have just
debutedâ
âYoung hunks?â
Brent sighed and said, âThey are a group of youthful talent show contestants. They look young and
youthful and attract female fans of all ages.
âThese fans would sometimes describe them as their âbabies,â âpuppiesâ or âhuskies.â
Ethan looked at Brent angrily.
Brent was taken aback. He started to wonder if he had explained something wrong and made Ethan
mad.
âThen why would you say that Iâm Oliviaâs type? Clearly, sheâs having a lot of fun talking with a young
hunk.â
Brent was at a loss for words. He was caught in a lie.
Olivia didnât know what Ethan was thinking about when he stood there. She only felt a fiery gaze that
was directed at her from the window.
Suddenly, a wave struck the ship and caused it to sway. The abrupt movement put Olivia off balance.
âOlivia!â
Colin quickly grabbed her waist. She fell into Colinâs arms due to the momentum.
