Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1163

Linus was not any ordinary person, and Olivia didn't wish to interact with him in any way.

If this continued, something beyond her plans might happen.

As an afterthought, she waved her hand in denial. "Let's straighten things out, Mrs. Heath. I'm not interested in Mr. Linus. I also have a child. I'm married."

Linus didn't act as his usual reticent self as he blurted, "Haven't you already forgotten him? What if you can't remember him forever? I heard that you have a daughter. I don't mind treating her as my own. I'm serious about you, Vanessa."

Tatiana slapped him without holding herself back. "Ridiculous! What kind of nonsense is this? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I asked you to find yourself a wife, but you found a taken person! Someone with a daughter at that! Are you out of your mind?"

"Mom, I'm an adult in my 30s. I know what I'm doing."

Olivia raised her hand warily. "I … Can I give my two cents? Mr. Heath, Mrs. Heath, I swear on my name that I didn't seduce your son. If Mrs. Heath is feeling uncomfortable, I can leave the house instantly."

The mention of her departure made Mason slam the table. "You promised me that you'd leave only after the new year. You're not allowed to go anywhere without my permission."

Tatiana's expression turned grim at Mason's fury. "Just what is wrong with the two of you? Did she cast a spell or something?"

Mason glared at her. "Did you come here because of this matter? Did they do anything disgraceful? Linus is in his 30s for God's sake. It's normal for him to have feelings for a woman. Do you want him to bear feelings for a man instead?"

"But she—"

"What's wrong with her? She became a miracle doctor at a young age. Forget about your opinion of the relationship, Vanessa doesn't even reciprocate his feelings. Stop getting ahead of yourself."

With a flop on the chair, she patted her chest to calm herself down. "How can you say that? Are you implying that Vanessa is out of his league?"

"I didn't say that. What I mean is, she doesn't even like Linus. You don't have to be all jumpy about it."
