Chapter 530
Even After Death
âMrs. Miller.â Cyril looked pitiful. âItâs not that I canât win her heart. Her heart is occupied with another
man. How can she even look at anyone else?â
Olivia thought about it. He had a point.
After all, when she was in love with Ethan back then, she didnât even spare a look at the other men
confessing to her.
Now, she didnât even remember what those men looked like.
âDonât give up. Youâll get a wife eventually.â
âIâm not getting one anymore.â
âYouâre so stubborn.â Olivia facepalmed. Each of these people was more stubborn than the next.
âMrs. Miller, itâs raining soon, so donât go out at night. You might slip and fall in the yard.â
âOkay.â
Olivia continued drinking her soup. The children in her tummy were quite active at that moment. Olivia
decided to walk around the room before going to sleep.
Rain poured all through the night, accompanied by instances of thunder. Olivia couldnât sleep well all
night.
The next day, the rain was still going strong. Olivia had no choice but to read a book by the window.
âOlivia, Iâm back.â
Monaâs loud voice could be heard even before entering the house. She was even carrying some
snacks.
Running over to Olivia, she stuffed the snacks in Oliviaâs hands.
âYou told me that you wanted to eat crepes, right? I bought these for you.â
âI havenât had any in a long time. I was craving it.â
As Olivia ate, she asked, âHowâs it going between you and your ideal man?â
Mona said shyly, âHe confessed his feelings for me last night. Look, this is the bracelet he gave me. He
got someone to hand- make it for me overseas.
âItâs not very pricey, but heâs sincere about it. It even has my zodiac sign! Cute, right?â
Olivia watched Mona playing with the bracelet, knowing that Mona was utterly smitten.
âYou can accept the necklace, but you have to rein in your feelings a bit. Remember what I said?â
âDonât worry, Olivia, I understand. He knows all about my familyâs circumstances. Iâm so poor, so what
would he want from me? Heâs sincerely good to me.â
Sitting beside Olivia, Mona said a lot of good things about Warren Tovar.
Olivia sighed. A woman knee-deep in love would never hear a word others said.
For the whole morning, Mona looked at the bracelet in a daze. She even swung the pendant from time
to time.
âCome on, stop looking at it. Youâve been admiring it all morning.â
Mona waved it in front of Olivia again. âBut itâs stunning. The ratâs head is very nicely made, and it looks
so lively.â
At the side, Madam Burgess smiled. âHe won you over with just a bracelet? You have no idea what Mr.
Miller used to court Mrs. Miller back then. He put in a lot of effort.â
Mona was excited when she heard that. âHow did Mr. Miller do it? Iâm super curious about it. I canât find
anything about Mr. Miller and Mrs. Millerâs romance when I looked it up.â
âOh, he-â
Quietly, Olivia coughed twice. Madam Burgess could only shut up. âForget it. Iâm going to prepare
lunch.â
Mona felt like she shouldnât bother Olivia any longer.
Olivia paced around in the room, supporting her tummy. She would look outside from time to time.
The rain didnât seem to stop anytime soon.
She would look outside sometimes. She spotted Cyril standing alone in the corridor, looking at the rain
in a daze.
His efforts were wasted.
The rain went on for a whole day. The sea raged endlessly like a monster.
Olivia felt a little restless when she heard the thunder outside. The children also seemed to have
sensed her unease, and they kicked around in her tummy.
âSuch naughty children! If youâre not going to bed, then I am. Goodnight, darlings.â
She had just closed her eyes when another thunder roared outside.
Olivia instantly opened her eyes again. Her heart was beating rapidly.
On a few occasions in the past, she had the same feeling right before disaster struck. Olivia caressed
her chest. She had no idea what was going on that day.
The room was in complete darkness, and the lightning would streak by from time to time. It was bright
for a second or two before the light disappeared.
Olivia turned on the lamp on her bedside table. She looked at her arm. The hairs were standing on end.
People would have their hair stand on end when they sensed something terrible on the horizon.
Olivia called Cyril, who answered. âIs something the matter, Mrs. Miller?â
âIs everything alright outside?â
âDonât worry, Mrs. Miller. The surveillance room is staffed every hour of the day. Iâll inform you as soon
as something happens.â
âAlright. Thanks for your hard work.â
Olivia turned off the lights. She must be overthinking it.
In the room next door, Mona was still lovestruck. She lay in her bed as she messaged Warren.
Warren suddenly asked her to share her location.
Mona thought that they had already gotten IP technicians to set things up for them, so she assumed
that the actual address wouldnât be exposed even if she tapped in.
She wanted to tease Warren a little, so she tapped into the location-sharing feature.
Their two icons were very close to each other.
Mona was startled. She couldnât understand what was going on.
She wondered if it was some technical issue.
Warrenâs icon was nearing hers at top speed. When Mona saw that their icons were about to overlap,
her heart thumped wildly.
There must be something wrong. She didnât understand why Warren would be here.
Just a while ago, he said that he was reading documents at home. There must be some technical
issues on her end.
Mona was thinking about it when lightning streaked across the sky.
As the thunder roared, she was startled to see a figure standing on the balcony outside.
