Chapter 308
Even After Death
Ethanâs intimidating aura shrouded Olivia, and her whole body trembled.
Colin was rather calm, holding an umbrella for themselves.
His voice was gentle. âOlivia, itâs cold out here. You should head inside. It wonât make any difference
from waiting inside.â
Since they were surrounded, she couldnât change their fate no matter what she did.
In a daze, she watched the battleship approach their ship.
Before the battleship completely stopped, Ethan had already boarded their ship.
Olivia stood still as though someone had pressed the pause button on her.
She didnât know how to react to the situation.
Just like that, she watched Ethan coming up to her as the waves roared.
As he drew their distance closer, she felt as if someone was sapping her soul out of her body.
She didnât know how to face Ethan.
She was clueless about how he would punish her and Colin, too.
Ethan took his coat off and draped it over her shoulders. Only then did she pull her senses back.
She was trembling unconsciously.
âWhy are you outside in such thin clothes?â He pulled her into his arms.
She didnât break free from the familiar embrace like an obedient puppet.
Ethan hugged her tightly and turned his head toward her ear.
âLiv, Iâve been searching for you.â His breath brushed her ear like a devilâs whisper.
Her throat became dry.
âBut you promised me that you wouldnât leave Aldenvine before. How should I punish you for breaking
that promise?â he spoke softly.
He noticed her body go stiff, and he caressed her cheek.
Since he had been outside for a long time, his fingertips felt cold.
Olivia slightly shuddered at Ethanâs touch.
He chuckled. âSilly you. I love you so much. How could I hurt you?â
She raised her head, looking at him in disbelief,
Based on her understanding of his character, she didnât believe that he would let the matter slide that
easily.
He held her chin. âOh, silly Liv. I will never hurt you, but I canât say the same about others.â
Oliviaâs eyes widened. She grabbed his shirt and said hoarsely, âDonât hurt him. I begged him to take
me away. Just come at me!â
As soon as she finished, she regretted saying that.
The more she begged for others, the heavier Ethanâs punishment would be.
However, what else could she do besides begging him?
The other ships were good to go. They left the area in order.
Olivia was aware that they were trying to get rid of witnesses.
Ethan merely stared at her in silence, driving her anxious.
Kelvin and his men jumped onto the ship. They warmed their knuckles up while approaching Colin.
âThere you are! The brat that kidnapped Mrs. Miller. Youâre quite daring, arenât you?â
Kelvin strode like a gangster, swaying his hands left and right. âWe wasted so much time looking for
you guys. Youâre dead meat!â
Olivia broke free from Ethanâs arms and spread her arms before Colin. âDonât hurt him. It was my idea.â
