Chapter 576
Even After Death
It was the middle of the night. Burgess had already returned home. Ethan and Olivia were the only
ones left in the villa.
âAre you tired?â
Olivia shook her head and said, âNot at all. Iâll watch TV for a while.â
She felt a little awkward. Even though the two of them were already married, she still wasnât that
familiar with Ethan.
She was still reluctant to be intimate with him.
Ethan noticed her unease. He wasnât about to rush things. âOkay, Iâll watch with you.â
Olivia was watching some soap drama while Ethan was typing away on his laptop by her side.
Olivia would glance at him from time to time. He was wearing gold-framed glasses.
The overhead light cast a warm glow on him and made him seem more gentle.
It was as if Ethan felt Oliviaâs gaze. He raised his head.
Ethan was wearing a set of black silk pajamas. The pajamas had excellent texture, and they emitted a
soft glow under the light, which contrasted the bright golden glow from his gold-framed glasses.
Ethan gently adjusted his glasses with his middle finger and looked at Olivia. He asked in a deep voice,
âWhatâs wrong?â.
Olivia inexplicably started to blush from Ethanâs casual movement. âN-Nothing.â
Ethan set his laptop down and asked, âAre you thirsty or hungry? You didnât eat much at dinner just
now. Do you want some supper?â
Oliviaâs eyes widened as she asked, âYou really can cook?â
Olivia thought that Madam Burgessâ words were over the top. She thought the other lady was just
intentionally trying to make Ethan look good.
Ethan rolled up his sleeves and patted Olivia on the head. âWait here.â
Then, he entered the kitchen.
Cooking noises could soon be heard coming from the kitchen. Olivia had thought that Ethan would, at
best, make her some spaghetti.
But, looking at how busy he was, she began to think he might be cooking up a fancy feast.
The fire from the stove flickered and cast some shadows that danced on Ethanâs tall and slender figure.
After an hour, Olivia heard Ethanâs voice coming from the kitchen.
âYou can wash your hands and prepare to eat.â
After she washed her hands, Ethan had already set the food on the table.
Camarones a la Diabla, Ceviche, and Aguachile.
Oliviaâs eyes widened as she looked at the spicy-looking dishes.
She thought an elegant man like Ethan would make some fancy food for her. But instead, it was all
regular street food.
Ethan pulled out a wet tissue and cleaned his fingers. âI didnât have enough time to make anything too
fancy. Have a taste.â
Olivia said in a muffled voice, âI didnât expect you to make food like this.â
Ethan smiled and said, âYou used to pester me for street food and cold beer. I donât think those food
trucks were hygienic enough.
âSo, I learned how to make the food myself. At least the foodâs cleaner that way.â
Olivia glanced at Ethanâs hands. His skin was pale, so the blisters from the hot oil were very clearly
visible.
âYouâre hurt?â
âItâs nothing. Do you want me to help you peel the shrimp?â
Although he was just asking, Ethan had already put on disposable gloves and started to peel shrimp for
Olivia.
Olivia felt Ethan was very attractive when he was focused, whether working or peeling shrimp.
Olivia felt warmth in her heart.
Although she didnât have many relatives left, he was so good to her that she thought he might be
someone she could rely on in the future.
