Chapter 487
Even After Death
Oliviaâs life at the manor was simple and peaceful. She was doing some wood carving right now. Mona
saw something on her phone, turned it off, and muttered under her breath with an upset expression.
âWhat are you muttering about?â Olivia asked as she looked at Mona.
Mona looked up and said, âNothing. You shouldnât look at your phone for a couple of days. Itâs all
useless news.â
Chuckling lightly, Olivia asked, âBy useless news, do you mean his wedding?â
âYou already know?â
âItâs all over the internet. Of course, Iâd know about it.â
Mona observed Oliviaâs expression closely. âArenât you angry? I thought Mr. Miller delayed the wedding
last month for your sake.â
âAngry? Why would I be? If I got angry, it would mean I had feelings for him. If I had feelings for him, Iâd
lose my mind and go crazy. Why would I do that?â
Mona looked at Oliviaâs calm demeanor. It seemed like Olivia was telling the truth. âOlivia, why would
you marry him if you donât love him?â
âI loved him once. But itâs in the past.â
Olivia put down her carving knife and picked up the wooden carving she was making. It was a cute
kitten.
âHow does it look?â
It was as if the wooden carving in her hand was more important to her than Ethan.
Nodding, Mona said, âYou did great! Youâre almost as skilled as a veteran woodworker.â
Smiling, Olivia said, âYouâre too kind. Itâs barely presentable. Iâm just trying to practice.â
As they were talking, Kelvin, whom Olivia hadnât seen in a long time, showed up. Oliviaâs smile faded
when she saw him.
Kelvin rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, âI ⦠Mr. Miller has some business with you, Mrs. Miller.â
Kelvin thought Olivia would ignore him. Instead, she stood up immediately and said, âWhat a
coincidence. I need to talk to him about something too.â
Olivia needed to know whose baby Jodie was carrying. She could sense that the matter wasnât as
simple as it seemed. There might be another person plotting against her. Olivia didnât have the means
to look into it. At least, her goals aligned with Ethanâs on this matter.
âAlright, come with me, Mrs. Miller.â
Olivia followed Kelvin to the car, but Ethan wasnât there. She rested her eyes and didnât speak a word.
The car was eerily quiet.
Even Kelvin, who was usually chatty, didnât know what to say. He tried to strike up a conversation.
âMrs. Miller, donât look at the news. Youâre the only woman Mr. Miller has ever loved. He has no choice
but to marry Ms. Carlton. As you know, sheâs the only Carlton left, other than Mr. Carlton Senior.â
Olivia cut him off impatiently, âItâs his freedom to marry whoever he wants. I donât care.â
Kelvin looked at Olivia through the rearview mirror. He tried to see if she was even a little discontent,
but her expression was indifferent. She wasnât upset in the slightest.
Olivia felt Kelvinâs gaze. She raised her head to meet his gaze.
âIt was over between us the moment he shot me.â
Kelvin opened his mouth, but he didnât say anything. Ethan had hurt Olivia deeply. He had done her
dirty and couldnât turn back time to fix his mistake. Kelvin could only silently pray for Ethan.
Olivia was utterly shutting Ethan out. There was no longer love in her eyes or any emotion at all.
Later, she was surprised that the car had stopped at the Fordham residence.
âHeâs in the Fordham residence?â
âYes. Letâs go in, Mrs. Miller.â
