Chapter 638
Even After Death
The plane landed safely at its destination after over ten hours of flying.
Olivia took off her sleeping mask and stretched her stiff limbs.
Xylandia was halfway across the globe from Aldenvine, and its weather was the complete opposite.
It was snowing heavily in Aldenvine, but it was warm in Grovale, the capital city of Xylandia.
The ocean breeze brought in fresh air with it. Olivia felt refreshed as soon as she disembarked from the
plane.
At the entrance to the VIP channel, Brian, dressed in a black uniform, was already there to pick up
Ethan and Olivia.
âWelcome to Grovale, Mr. Miller.â
Brianâs gaze turned to Olivia, and he sized her up. Then, he said slowly, âWelcome to Grovale, Ms
Fordham.â
Olivia picked up on Brianâs scrutiny. Her intuition told her that the man didnât like her much. But Olivia
had nothing to prove
to him. She nodded at him and walked off.
Ethan looked at Brian disdainfully and said, âSomething wrong with your eyes? I donât mind poking
them out for you.â
Brianâs skin crawled, and he quickly lowered his head. Kelvin looked at Brian with an amused
expression and said, âMr. Copely, my brother briefed you before we arrived.
âWhy are you feigning ignorance? âMs. Fordhamâ? You got to be kidding me.â
â
âLetâs go.â Brent tapped Kelvin on the shoulder as he walked by. He didnât want Kelvin to cause
needless trouble. Brent didnât even look at Brian when he walked past him.
Brian worked for Mrs. Miller Senior. He reacted the way he did because she didnât like Olivia.
Ethan quickly caught up to Olivia and held her hand. He explained softly, âI kept our marriage under
wraps before. He didnât know who you were.â
âNow he knows.â
Olivia had an idea of what was happening but didnât say anything. It would seem like her mother-in-law
didnât like her that
much.
Ethan turned his head to observe Oliviaâs expression.
Olivia went to a restaurant in the airport and started to order food.
She didnât seem fazed by Brian at all. Olivia was already used to her surroundings.
Her emotions were incredibly stable. She was different from before. No one could impact her mood.
âI looked up guides before. I had wanted to try the local cuisines in Grovale for some time.â
Ethan said lovingly, âThe food in the airport isnât that authentic. Rest and recover from the jet lag. Iâll
bring you to eat more food when youâre rested.â
âOkay,â Olivia responded quickly.
Brian followed them into the restaurant. Ethan had just reprimanded him, so he felt a little fearful.
He mustered his courage and walked next to Ethan and Olivia. He kept his head lowered and said
carefully, âMr. and Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Miller Senior is still waiting to dine with you at home.â
Olivia could guess from Brianâs attitude how Ethanâs mother felt about her. If the mother-in-law didnât
like her that much, she probably wouldnât get much chance to eat her fill at dinner.
Olivia saw the time was getting late, so she didnât want to risk going hungry. Her stomach was delicate.
It would hurt if she ate too much, too little, or didnât eat. So, it was important that she got to eat.
Olivia didnât care who she used to be. She just wanted to treat herself better.
Before she could answer, Ethan said, âI just need to take a quick bite. It wonât take long.â
Ethan took the blame upon himself. Brian couldnât say anything more, so he took his leave. Olivia didnât
beat around the bush. Her goal was to eat her fill.
She ate until she burped with satisfaction. Then, she wiped her mouth and stood up.
Ethan said with a smile, âYou ate so much. Are you even going to eat dinner at home?â
Olivia winked and said, âI have a feeling that trouble is waiting for us at home.â
She leaned toward Ethanâs ear and said, âDoes your mother not like me?â
