Chapter 448
Even After Death
After Ethanâs outburst, Olivia never saw him in the next few days.
She felt increasingly uneasy. She had a feeling that he had sensed something.
But he wouldâve gone crazy if he knew that she was pregnant.
He would silently ensure that she was well-fed every day.
Her meals had increased lately. Also, she didnât know if it was just her, but she felt like the food was all
very nutritious.
Olivia had asked Mona about it. Mona said that she was the one who told the kitchen staff to prepare
the meals this way.
After all, Olivia had a hard time with her pregnancy, and she threw up very often. So, she needed to
eat more.
Without Ethan around, the Manor of Roses was eerily quiet every day.
But Olivia had a feeling that it was just the calm before the storm.
Noticing Oliviaâs suspicious look every day, Mona couldnât help but chuckle.
âMs. Fordham, youâre overthinking it. I heard that the Carltons are eager for marriage.
âAlso, even though Marina is in ill health, she has a lot of requests.
Even in that state, she asked for a wedding photoshoot. She must be pestering Mr. Miller so much that
he couldnât leave.â
Every day after Olivia fell asleep, Ethan would sneak in at night. He would watch over her, who was
sleeping soundly.
Mona didnât want to cause Olivia any unnecessary mental burdens. So, she didnât tell Olivia the truth.
Olivia had slept a lot lately. Her sleep quality had improved a lot, so she didnât notice Ethan coming in.
âRight, heâs getting married soon.â
Olivia realized that after she had the child, her whole attention was on the baby.
She didnât even care that much about Leia anymore.
She only knew that Ethan had contained Leia in a villa in the mountains.
There was a whole medical team dedicated to treating her mental issues.
Olivia wouldnât be seeing Leia anytime soon, so she had to give up on revenge
While they spoke, a maid came in with some fruit and yogurt parfait.
for now.
Olivia felt like she was pampered like a queen every day. The kitchen would always prepare something
new for her.
âEat more, Ms. Fordham. Youâve been throwing up a lot these days.
âOther pregnant women would get plumper, but look how thin you are right now!â
Olivia didnât have much of an appetite, but she had to eat for the sake of her child.
âBut I heard that mothers throw up because their bodies are rejecting the child. This means that your
baby is healthy.â
When Olivia heard the word âhealthy,â she smiled faintly. âThey will grow up well, Iâm sure.â
If she could give birth to another adorable and healthy baby, she would have no regrets in her life.
At the thought of the baby, her churning stomach didnât feel that painful anymore.
She gritted her teeth. She believed that she could get through this. She had to eat more for the childâs
sake.
After Olivia finished the parfait, the maid quickly served some exquisite cakes.
Lying on the bed, Olivia finished the cakes lazily. Right after that, delicious fresh fruits were brought
to her.
Unbeknownst to her, Ethan was in an office. He was recording her daily diet in detail.
âMs. Fordham threw up four times today. Her appetite isnât too great, but she perked up and ate
everything you sent her.â
âAlright. Ask her what she would like to eat for dinner. Get the kitchen to prepare it.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Miller.â
Before ending the call, Ethan asked, âHow many days has it been since she got pregnant?â
âProbably more than 20 days. Whatâs the matter, Mr. Miller?â
âNothing. I just wanted to know when sheâll be getting her pregnancy test.â
Ethan hung up. It had been more than 20 days.
Calculating the days, he realized that Avery had appeared around that period.
He wondered if the two hit it off right on their first meeting.
He covered his face with one hand, his other hand clenched tightly into a fist.
He was now convinced that the child belonged to Avery.
