Chapter 214
Even After Death
Olivia cursed at Ethan as she sat in the front passenger seat. Everly was laughing at her misfortune.
âI wouldnât have believed it if I didnât see it myself. Ethan was so childish.
âHe splashed you with muddy water because you didnât get in his car. Thatâs so evil.â
Olivia wiped herself with a towel. She looked upset.
âThatâs how petty he is! I donât know if I was possessed when I fell for him.â
âYou couldâve been.â Everly agreed and nodded her head.
She sized up Olivia before asking, âLong time no see. Have you been well?â
Olivia didnât tell her about the incident where she vomited blood. âYeah, the chemotherapy was pretty
effective.â
Everly noticed that Olivia was in a better mood than before. Even her facial expressions looked more
lively.
Everly quickly said, âWhy donât you consider doing it again? If it goes well, and you get to the condition
where you can have surgery, you could go straight for surgery.â
âActuallyâ¦â
Olivia propped her face up with her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
âIâll go for another checkup after a while.â
Everlyâs eyes lit up. She said, âHave you changed your mind, Liv?â
âI want to live a bit longer. At least until I find out who the person is.â
âWhat person?â
Olivia shook her head and said, âItâs nothing.â
Olivia had made up her mind. Even if she went to hell, she had to bring the person who made her life
miserable down with her.
Ethan saw Olivia get soaked from the rearview mirror. His anger dissipated slightly from the sight.
He knew that Olivia was trying to sever her ties with him that way.
A few months ago, all he wanted was to be rid of Olivia. But now that she stopped clinging to him, he
became the one who couldnât let go.
Ethan felt irritated whenever he thought about her distant eyes.
He pulled on his collar and said, âLetâs return to the Carlton residence.â
Marina was delighted to see him. She prepared a feast for him. Chloe was recently discharged from the
hospital.
She still hasnât completely recovered yet and looked a little pale. But she still tried to be a good host
and kept giving Ethan more food.
On the other hand, Ethan was polite and distant. He focused on playing with Connor.
But no matter how much he played with Connor, Connor rarely smiled. Most of the time, he gazed
outside the window.
He was only a little happier when Ethan was with him.
After dinner, Ethan brought Connor to the living room and played there.
Marina pushed Erina and said, âGo, play with Dad.â
Erina had been afraid of Ethan since she was born. Normally, she wouldnât even dare to approach him,
much less play with
him
âCome over here,â Ethan said while waving his hand at her. Erina walked to his side shakily.
He reached out and picked Erina up gently. He comforted her in a soft voice, âDonât be afraid.â
Ethan thought that Erina looked a lot like Marina. But her eyes resembled her fatherâs.
He picked up a book and said, âCome, Iâll tell the two of you a story.â
Marina saw the three of them together and swore to herself that she must marry Ethan as soon as
possible.
After the children went to sleep, Ethan and Marina entered their room simultaneously.
Ethan locked the door and took out a blanket from the wardrobe expressionlessly.
âSame as last night, you take the bed, Iâll sleep on the couch.â
Marina said with a sad face, âEthan, weâre getting married soon. Weâre already a familyâ¦â
Ethan glanced at her coldly. His gaze was so cold it looked like he was ready to kill someone.
âMarina Carlton, how long has he been gone? Youâre already getting so restless?â
Ethan grabbed her collar and said slowly, âDonât forget who you are, cousin-in-law.â
