Chapter 132
Even After Death
Oliviaâs words rang in Ethanâs mind.
âLook, the snow tonight is so beautiful.
âToday is the day our baby died, Ethan. Have you ever spared him a thought this past year? Even for
just a moment?
âI thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me.â
Ethan had it all wrong. She thought Oliviaâs target was Marina, but he didnât think about Oliviaâs dead
child.
She purposefully picked today for her revenge. It was so that she could sacrifice Connor to her dead
son on the day he passed. That was a great way to get back at Marina and himself.
Ethan was anxious and furious. Olivia was still the same person she used to be; she had never given
up on her extreme thoughts!
His heart went through a roller coaster of emotions in the span of about a minute. His palms were
already drenched in cold
sweat.
He sprinted to the top floor as fast as he could. The first round of the fireworks show was over. The
next round was in the middle of preparation. At this moment, it was like the entire world had fallen silent
and dark. Only the sound of Ethanâs running could be heard.
There was no one there on the deck of the second floor, so Ethan ran to the edge of the deck. The
ocean was still roaring, waves still crashing onto the hull of the ship.
Ethan didnât see anyone. Was he too late?
He felt a chill sweeping over him before it spread from top to toe.
Suddenly, Minaâs voice came from downstairs. She was excited to tears. âHow did you get here, Master
Connor? You scared me to death! Iâve found him! Iâve found Master Connor!â
Hearing that, Ethan was relieved and slumped onto the ground.
He was sweating all over from the running, but the wind made him feel chilly. He put a hand over his
chest, where he could feel his heart beating very quickly.
Smiling, he covered his face. It was the first time in his life that he felt such intense emotional swings.
He didnât notice Olivia, who was hiding behind a wooden barrel. She looked at the snow that was falling
from the sky.
She gave up on her plan to cause Ethan deep hurt at the final moment. Honestly, she didnât have the
heart to take Connorâs life. He was still so young. He shouldnât have to pay for the crimes of Ethan and
Marina.
How evil would she have to be to be able to murder a child?
On one hand, Olivia hated how weak she was. On the other hand, she felt ashamed that she tried to do
something like that. She turned all the guilt she had into an explanation. Maybe there was a lot of
misunderstanding between her and Ethan. Connor shouldnât have to pay for these mistakes. Her plan
used to be dying with Connor in the ocean, but there was one more thing she hadnât done. That was to
uncover the truth of what happened all those years ago.
After Ethan left, she dragged her tired body back to her room. Ten minutes after that, Ethan appeared
in her room.
His appearance would mean that he had guessed that she was the one who took Connor. She didnât
remove the necklace she gave Connor when she let him go.
Ethan was the one who designed the necklace. Of course, he would know who it came from. There
was still the half eaten cake and the candles on the table in the room.
Olivia was prepared to be tortured by Ethan for what she did. She had given up the best chance she
had at hurting him. She
thought the only thing waiting for her was endless torture from him.
His footsteps got close, and the room was completely silent. Raising her head, Olivia saw Ethan eating
the leftover cake without speaking. He just kept eating
He never liked eating cakes. But here he was, eating cake without asking for an explanation. After he
put down the fork, he took a tissue and wiped his lips. Then, he walked toward Olivia.
Olivia thought he was still going to torture her, but he stopped before her.
He said in a deep voice, âOne day, youâll realize that not going through with it today was the best
decision you couldâve made.
