Chapter 1256

Even After Death

Olivia spaced out looking at the military uniform. Her mind was filled

with thoughts about Ethan.

Wayne suddenly appeared behind her. "What? Do you like this type of

attire?"

Olivia turned around abruptly with shock in her eyes.

Wayne lifted her face with his fingers and closed in on her. His

masculine pheromones were on full blast.

“Your face might look plain, but your eyes are quite expressive.”

The mask couldn't alter her eyes. They were round and radiant; her

lashes were thick and long. Her beautiful eyes elevated her plain looks

to another level.

Olivia felt a little nervous in such close proximity to him. She wanted to

shove him away. Her hands touched his bare chest.

She could feel his well-defined muscles. Before she could push him

away, Wayne suddenly held her waist and pressed her against the

wardrobe.

"What are you doing?" Olivia snapped as she looked at him angrily.

He got a nosebleed from looking at her last night. What was he trying to

do this time?

Wayne snapped back to reality and loosened his grip on Olivia. He

actually had the urge to kiss her for a second!

Olivia pushed him away and suppressed her emotions. "Where are you

going today? Do you need a suit or something else?"

"A suit,” Wayne said hoarsely while staring at her back.

Even if he needed a woman, he wouldn't stoop so low as to long for a

married woman, right?

He backed away to a safe distance.

Olivia was able to pick out a suit for him after a short while.

“I'l be heading back to my room."

Wayne didn't try to get her to stay. He blamed the weird emotions he

had been feeling recently on the fact that he had been single for 30

years of his life.

Upon leaving his room, Alan came up to him. "Mr. Maxwell, my brother

will be returning today."

"Okay."

"Arlandia sent over a ceasefire agreement. What are your thoughts on

it?"

Alan didn't hear a reply. Then, he noticed that Wayne was spacing out

for some reason.

"Mr. Maxwell, did you hear me?"

Wayne snapped back to reality. "What did you say?"

"Did you not sleep well last night? Why are you so out of it?"

Wayne actually slept very well. He felt his throat dry up as he thought

about Olivia's long, shapely legs.

"Yeah."

"We don't know how Arlandia managed to get Veutron on their side.

Veutron declared that they'll be joining the fray if we continue our

assault on Dexim City.

"If these two major powers join forces, we'll be at a great disadvantage.

Should we accept Arlandia’s ceasefire agreement?"

Wayne's gaze grew cold. Veutron used to be neutral. They didn't know

why Veutron would suddenly side with Arlandia. At this point, Carathia

couldn't make any rash decisions.

He just wanted to take the land of other countries. He didn't want his

own country to become a warzone.

"We'll run a military simulation when your brother is back."

Dexim City was almost theirs, but they lost it at the last minute. If he

had taken Dexim City, he could have set up military bases all around

the city and posed a massive threat to Arlandia.

Everything had been going according to his plan, but he didn't expect a

third party to kidnap Princess Sadie.

He wanted to mount an offense, but Olivia just happened to save

Sadie.

Ethan brought Sadie and her son back, so he was able to form an

alliance with Veutron. The situation was immediately flipped.

Olivia probably didn't know her act of kindness would set off such a

huge chain of events. In a way, she had a hand in stopping the war

happening in Dexim City.
