Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1056

Olivia changed her clothes in the changing room at the airport beforehand. She put on a thick large cap and a mask. No one would be able to recognize her.

After Ethan's return was made known, the cars that came to pick him up had formed a long line outside.

Before they left the airport, Ethan looked longingly at Olivia. "Liv."

Olivia crossed her arms. "Ethan, we've already made a promise to each other. Are you going back on your word now?"

"No, I just don't want to part with you."

"Your position right now isn't stable enough yet. It's not safe for me to be by your side anyway. The best situation is to not let anyone know of my existence, right?"

Olivia was more decisive than she used to be.

Ethan knew that she was right, but he still felt reluctant to leave her.

"I know. I'm just—"

Olivia suddenly took off her mask. Then, standing on her tiptoes, she planted a kiss on his lips. Ethan reached out, placing his hand on her waist and pulling her in to deepen the kiss.

He had painstakingly gotten this treasure back, so now, he was afraid of losing her again.

"Ethan, you know that Leia is still standing between us. If the events back then were to happen again, and your sister and I were facing danger at the same time, who would you save? Her or me?"

"I …"

Olivia put a finger to his lips. "Without marriage, we won't be bound to each other. I won't expect anything, so I won't be sad or upset about it.

"You don't have to be sad because of your choice, Ethan. This is the best way for us to get along with each other."

Ethan argued, "Liv, it's not like that."

"Then can you give up on your familial bond with Leia?"

Ethan fell silent. Olivia added, "You can't do it. No matter what she has done, she's still your biological sister. You're still worried about her. So, I won't give you trouble nor make myself sad either.

"Let's just leave it like that. We'll go our separate ways, and it's not too bad to meet up once in a while."

Ethan kissed Olivia again, and she didn't reject it. She allowed him to do what he wanted. He looked like he wished to rub her into his very core.

No matter how reluctant he was, they had to part ways eventually.

Ethan looked at her as he said in a hoarse voice, "Liv, don't make me wait too long."
