Chapter 648
Even After Death
The meeting with her mother-in-law went smoother than Olivia expected.
She kept staring at the pretty bracelet, which seemed to look prettier with age. She didnât put it on but
was examining it
closely.
She subconsciously felt that the bracelet didnât belong to her.
âDo you like it?â Ethanâs voice suddenly came from behind her.
Olivia jumped in fright. She was too focused on the bracelet and didnât notice Ethan coming in.
âYeah, it looks nice.â
Ethan picked up the bracelet and said gently, âIâll help you put it on.â
Olivia pulled her hand away reflexively and said, âNot right now. This is such a valuable piece. I should
only wear it to important events.
âIâm not in the habit of wearing jewelry, anyway. So I donât want to wear it now.â
Ethan was stunned, but he didnât call her out.
âOkay, whatever you want.â
Although Olivia was with Ethan every day, she still didnât fall in love with him. She felt some affection for
him, at best.
Ethan even felt like Olivia was hiding from him.
He knew they still had plenty of time, so he shouldnât rush things. He brought a hairdryer over and
carefully dried Oliviaâs hair
for her.
Olivia held his hand. She thought his hand looked nice. His fingers had well-defined joints.
âDonât you think itâs such a waste for you to use such exquisite hands to dry my hair?â
âDoing anything for you is never too much.â
Ethan lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. âI love you, Liv.â
Ethan always expressed his love for her without reservation. It was like Olivia was the only person he
had on his mind and the only person he had his eyes on.
Olivia reached out and caressed Ethanâs cheek. She had a lost expression on her face.
âEthan, how did we feel about each other in the past?â
âYou love me a lot, and I love you a lot, too.â
Olivia brushed her fingertips on Ethanâs brows and eyes.
She said in confusion, âI feel like your face is very familiar to me, but I donât understand why I am not
feeling any love for you even though we used to be deeply in love.
âDid something happen between us?â
Ethan couldnât look her in the eye.
He pulled her into his embrace and said tenderly, âLiv, if I have hurt you terribly before, would you be
able to forgive me?â
âWas it a matter of principles? Did you betray me? Or did you touch another woman?â
Ethan said resolutely, âNo.â
He had never laid a hand on Marina ever. He only ever agreed to marry her because of his promise to
Kurt.
Olivia was the only one he ever loved. Ethan didnât lie when he answered any question regarding his
loyalty.
âI can forgive you as long as it isnât a matter of principle.â
Olivia raised her head from within his embrace and asked seriously, âSo, youâve never betrayed me,
right?â
Her eyes were clear and innocent. Her gaze pierced through Ethanâs heart and made him inexplicably
uneasy.
âLiv, youâre the only woman Iâve ever been with.â
âOkay, I got it. Itâs getting late. Iâll be sleeping now.â
Ethan kissed her on the forehead and said, âGoodnight, Iâll go wash up.â
Olivia stopped thinking about it and went to sleep almost instantly. It had been a tiring day.
Olivia was already fast asleep when Ethan came out. He sat beside her and sighed as he gazed at her.
He believed that everything would be better.
They would have a new life starting tomorrow, and they would sever themselves from their past.
âLiv, I would never stop loving you.â
