Chapter 595
Even After Death
With that, Ethan took Oliviaâs hand and walked away, leaving the furious Nikki alone.
Ethan was even less caring than he had been when he was young. He was as stubborn as they came.
When Nikki saw the two walking away hand-in-hand, she gritted her teeth so hard that they almost
broke.
She sneered coldly, looking like a snake hiding in the shadows. A venomous glint flashed across her
eyes.
Olivia angled her body to look at Ethan. Sensing her gaze, Ethan looked down at her. âWhatâs the
matter? If you have any questions, just ask them. Donât overthink things.â
Olivia raised an eyebrow. âI do have a question. Did you truly think about killing her whole family?â
âYes.â
Ethan said without any hesitation, âMy mother wasnât mentally well, so she rarely took care of me when
I was young. Back then, to establish connections, my aunt took me in.
âThat was when I got to know Nikki. She was the neighborâs child, but she kept trying to play with me.
When I said that I didnât like to play house, she insisted on playing the games that I played.â
Olivia was a little curious. âWhat games did you play?â
âShooting, boxing, fencing, horseback riding, skiing, divingâ¦â
âWhat happened next?â
âAt the shooting range, she couldnât even fire the gun. She was even bitten all over by mosquitoes.
When she boxed with me, her nose bled when I hit her.
âWhen we went horseback riding, the horse left her behindâ¦â
âWait.â Olivia reached out her hand. âPutting her personality problems aside, you did it on purpose
when you hit her until she bled, right?â
Ethan felt a headache coming on when he thought about those incidents. âShe was the one who told
me not to go easy on her.
âShe had received training before, so going easy on her would be the same as looking down on her.
Since she said all that, I just swung randomly at her. I didnât expect her to take a basic punch like that
head-on.
âIt even hit her squarely in the face. Her nose bled, and the blood got on my body. It was annoying.â
Hearing his complaints, Olivia was already laughing. âHaha, youâre such a straightforward man. She
said that just to attract your attention. She wasnât telling you to get serious about it.
âShe was probably startled back then, so she started dodging blindly. But you hit her right on the nose.â
Ethan said, âLiv, can you stop mentioning that useless woman in front of me?â
Ethan visibly hated Nikki.
After Nikki was hit, she went back and told her parents something. Then, they came over and
pressured Ethan, forcing him to play house with her.
Olivia saw the foul expression on Ethanâs face. Still, she was quite interested. Reaching out, she poked
at Ethanâs arm.
âTell me, then. How did you play house with her? That should be interesting.â
Reaching out, Ethan flicked her on her forehead. She was excited to learn about his cringe-inducing
past.
Still, he didnât mind it if it would make her happy.
He described what had happened back then. It wasnât as simple as a normal game of playing pretend.
Nikki wanted him to play the role of someone in a vegetative state. She would then play the role of a
bride who would bring
him luck.
She even got someone to decorate a room so that it looked like a wedding venue. As the adults
watched, Ethan acted in the play where a man in a vegetative state got married.
Olivia was amazed. She wondered if all rich children played house like that. It was quite a realistic
experience.
The more Ethan spoke, the sadder he got. âBut donât worry, Liv. When she wanted to kiss me, I pushed
her away.â
Olivia smiled sweetly. âI never expected you to defend your purity so well since a young age.â
Ethan planted a kiss on her cheek. âLiv, throughout all these years, youâre the only one who managed
to win my heart.â
