Chapter 130
Even After Death
Connor had always hoped to see Olivia again. Wobbling, he ran toward Olivia.
Smiling at him, she reached out to him. âMy dear Connor, do you want to leave with me?â
Connor did not understand her words. All he knew was that she reached out to him. All he needed to
do was to grab hold of her
hand.
He placed his chubby little hand into Oliviaâs palm without hesitation, allowing her to raise him up. He
held onto Oliviaâs neck
He rubbed his face against Olivia like a puppy before saying in an affectionate tone, âMama.â
Olivia looked at him lovingly, saying, âSilly boy, Iâm not your mother. You should call me Aunt.â
At the moment, everyone else was gathered at the front of the ship to watch the fireworks show. She
was able to carry Connor away with no issues.
Olivia brought Connor to her room, where there was cake. She put a birthday hat on Connor and lit up
the candle. She then sang him a birthday song in a gentle tone.
Connor did not know what she was doing, but he smiled at whatever she did.
Olivia took an emerald necklace out from a small box. It had a cute design, and the emerald was shiny.
Connorâs name was engraved on the necklace.
âI had prepared this for my son. But I didnât get to give it to him. Since you share his name, Iâll give it to
you.â
Connor reached out to grab the necklace. The way he laughed looked a lot like Ethan.
Olivia put the necklace on his neck and kissed him on the cheek. âHappy birthday, Connor.â
She looked at him lovingly. Thinking of her child, he probably wouldâve looked like this if he was still
alive.
Olivia cut two slices of cake. She even removed the cream and fruits from them. Connor grabbed a
spoon, but he didnât know how to use it yet. He wanted to eat the cake but wasnât able to. He could only
wave his chubby little hands around.
He also leaned toward the plate and licked at the cream. Some of the cream got on his nose.
Olivia looked at him with a gentle look, saying, âLook at you, you got cream everywhere.â
She ate the cake in big mouthfuls with a smile. But her tears just wouldnât stop flowing.
Seeing her tears, Connor tried to comfort her clumsily, âCry Cryâ¦â
Olivia wiped at her tears, picked up Connor, and said softly, âLittle one, I had a baby of my own too.â
Connor didnât understand her. Reaching out, he wiped at the tears on Oliviaâs face.
âBut my baby has gone someplace far away. I miss him every day. Little one, why do you have to be
Marinaâs child?â
Olivia sat down with him in her arms. She kept talking, not caring that he didnât understand.
âI used to be a little princess at your age. I had loving parents. But my mother left one day. I chased her
car until I fell on the ground. I wasnât able to catch up to her.â
âMy father was good to me. He raised me and educated me. Then, I fell in love with a man. I had a
baby with him. Later on, my father fell sick and my family separated. My baby was gone. Even my lover
became my enemy. Why am I such a failure?â
Connor hugged Olivia with his arms, feeling her tears falling onto his neck. He didnât know why she was
crying so much⦠But he knew he didnât want her to cry.
âMama, no, no,â he said with great difficulty. But he wasnât able to say anything else.
Olivia wiped away her tears. She then brought Connor to the deck on the second floor, according to her
original plan.
