Olivia's heart skipped a beat.
Ethan added, "Had it not been for you, I would've lost my life.
"You're my savior, and I'm genuinely grateful to you. Once I recover, I will surely repay this favor."
For some reason, she imagined a story of a hero saving a maiden in distress, in which the maiden would repay the favor by marrying the hero.
Olivia and Ethan had divorced years ago, and they had drawn the line that they wouldn't intervene in each other's lives anymore.
Yet, an ambiguous emotion stirred in her at the idea of him marrying another woman.
Perhaps it was her unwillingness to accept her defeat.
Ethan was the man she had loved since her school days. She had imagined building a big family and growing old with him countless times.
During their newlywed days, her eyes were always on him as he owned all of her heart.
At that time, she had never thought that their marriage would fail one day and that someone else would stand by his side.
Still, reality would always hit at the most unexpected moments.
Olivia tried her best not to be swayed by him. Her voice was indifferent. "How are you going to repay me?"
"That's up to you. What do you want?" he questioned back.
Connor was the first person she thought of. She wondered if he would give her the boy's custody if she asked for it.
"I'll come up to you to claim what I want in the future."
"Judging from your accent, you must be from Arlandia. What's your name?" He didn't expose her.
"You can call me Vanessa."
"If you didn't grow up in Arlandia, you wouldn't have been able to speak the language this fluently. I don't think this is your real name, is it?"
Olivia was annoyed for some reason. "Why are you digging into my information, Mr. Miller? Are you going for a cliche? Where you marry me to repay my favor?"
"If I'm going to do that, that is still on the condition that you're willing to do so."
She thought, "I guess it's all bullshit when he told me that I'm the only person he loves. He's a playboy! I bet he has flirted with a lot of women while I'm gone."
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
"Don't worry. I'd rather marry a pig than you." She turned and left in frustration.
