Chapter 311

Olivia was right. That was how Ethan treated her all the while.

He had enough of the pain of losing her. Thus, he wanted to make her stay by his side so that she was

never out of his sight.

“Liv, I tried to let you go and give you freedom. But it turned out this way in the end.” The agony was

eating him up as he tried

to suppress it.

He said, “I tried to control myself.”

His self-control was useless. Before Olivia could walk out of the darkness, he had pushed her further.

The days she went missing were horrible to him. He was basically a living zombie.

Thus, he had made up his mind. He wouldn’t care if his method would make her resent him.

It was better than not being able to see and touch her. Without her, it was suffering as though someone

had sapped his soul out of his body.

Olivia looked at the agonized Ethan. “Why do we have to end up like this?”

Their relationship was an entanglement of chains that could not be unshackled.

No matter what happened and no matter how much time passed, the chains would only end up

becoming more tangled up.

There was no way to untangle them.

As time ticked by, it would end up becoming messier until the end of their lives.

Olivia said, “Ethan Miller, I didn’t wish for this to happen.

“I hope we can start and end things on good terms. Everyone knows what’s going on

Ethan said, “You don’t have to care about what people say online. Olivia, the only thing you need to

know is that my love for you will never change.”

She smiled bitterly at him. “You know what? I would’ve felt happy if you told me this six months ago.

Now burden to me, Ethan.”

He stretched his hands. “Okay. Get down here first. We can slowly talk about what you want. I will

listen to you. Didn’t you want me to let Colin go? Kelvin, untie him.”

Kelvin instantly released Colin.

The latter wiped the raindrops off his face and ran toward her. “Olivia, look, I’m fine. Come down here.

We can talk through

this.”

“Sorry, Colin. I can’t visit the island you talked about. Thank you for taking care of me for the past few

days. I wish you well.”

Her tears didn’t stop trickling down her cheeks: “Ethan Miller, I seriously thought of living a good life

before.

“I wanna see the blue sky and enjoy the wind, drink coffee, and watch movies like ordinary people do.”

“Liv, I promise you. I will bring you to an island. And movies? What kind of coffee do you like? I’ll ask

someone to get it for you right away.”

“Too late.” She looked at him.

This time, she was gazing at him from a higher altitude.

She wondered, “Is this how Ethan always looks at people? He’s always high up there, yet so lonely.”

“Ethan, I tried to control myself, too,” she said.

Olivia had tried to control her negative thoughts about the world.

She had also thought about how she would live her final days with rainbows and unicorns.

However, things weren’t going as she wished.

Ethan didn’t allow it to happen; the mastermind didn’t either.

No matter how many times she crawled out of the slump, she would be kicked back into that hellish life.

Olivia wouldn’t admit her defeat. She wanted to crawl out of it.

In the end, she was scarred for life.

Since the world was a dark place to begin with, she wouldn’t ask for more anymore.

Olivia looked at Ethan calmly. “I’ve thought of a way to untangle the chains between us.

“We have to completely cut ties with each other. If I’m dead, that’ll mark the end of our ill-fated destiny.

Goodbye, Ethan.”

“No! Liv!”

She withdrew her gaze and fell backward.
