Chapter 664
Even After Death
Kenneth felt disrespected. He hadnât seen Janice in a long time. The woman who had been
chasing after him was giving him attitude.
Not only did he not leave, he sat down and said, âThereâs no need. Weâre acquaintances.â
The server looked at them awkwardly and didnât know what to do.
Janice put down the knife in her hand elegantly. She took out some tissues and wiped her lips. She
ignored Kenneth and Jessica.
Then, she looked at Olivia tenderly and asked, âWhy donât we go to another place for food?â
âSure.â
Olivia had been waiting a long time for her food and was already starving. But she didnât feel like
eating while looking at Kenneth and Jessica.
She nodded politely at them and said, âWeâll be leaving now.â
Kenneth was visibly upset as he watched Olivia and Janice leave hand in hand.
âStop right there!â
Kenneth was fed up by Janiceâs attitude. So, he took it out on Olivia.
âYouâre Ethanâs wife, which means youâre my daughter-in-law. Is this how you treat your elders?â
Janice was able to keep her cool before. But her anger flared up when Olivia, who was innocent,
was dragged into it.
As she was about to lose it, another voice rang, âDaughter-in-law? Surely you must be mistaken,
Mr. Miller Senior.â
Ethan walked over from a distance and pulled Olivia into his embrace like a mother protecting her
child.
Like father, like son. Both of them protected their wives the same way.
Kenneth hadnât seen Ethan in a while. Even though they had met years ago, his deepest impression of
Ethan was when he suddenly came looking for him when he was three years old.
Back then, Kenneth had been agitated by Janiceâs antics, and he took it out on Ethan.
In the blink of an eye, the boy who had been smeared with cake had already grown so tall. And
that face looked very similar to his own.
Ethan looked more like him than Darrell,
Ethan didnât know what Kenneth was thinking. He was no longer the little boy who yearned for
his fatherâs love.
He exuded maturity and stoicism with his every move.
Ethan said calmly, âMr. Miller Senior, you told me that you werenât my dad and that you didnât
have a son like me 20 years ago.
âDid you also forget that Grandpa had cast you out of the Miller Family? If Iâm not your son, how
could she be your daughter-in-law?â
Olivia almost let out a laugh. Ethan just said the most vicious words with the calmest tone. Every
word was like knives stabbing into Kennethâs chest.
âEthan Miller!â
Ethan was very calm, in stark contrast to Kennethâs anger.
Ethan said, âMy mom had just barely gotten over her trauma. Weâre very happy as a family. Please
watch your wife closely, and donât let her disturb our peace.â
After a pause, he added, âAnd tell that foolish son of yours that I wonât let him go so easily the next
time he tries something.â
Ethanâs words were spoken with complete disregard for Kennethâs image.
Kennethâs ears were flushed, but it was unknown if that was due to anger or embarrassment. But
Olivia was sure that someone as heartless as Kenneth wouldnât have a sense of shame.
âWeâll be leaving now. Enjoy your meal.â
As they were about to leave, Ethan bid them farewell politely.
Olivia didnât know if Janice enjoyed the show, but she enjoyed every moment of that exchange herself.
After they left the cafe, Janice said with reddened eyes, âEthan, donât you hate me for what I did in the
past? Why would you defend me in front of him?â
âI used to hate you.â
Ethan didnât want to spend his days consumed by hatred. Cherishing every moment of happiness was
the best option.
Before he helped Janice into the car, he said, âI was too weak then. But now that Iâm grown up, I will be
able to protect you.â
