Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1367

Ethan rushed to grab Erina. "Erina, you're your father's pride. If he were still alive, he'd surely love you."

Erina wriggled so hard to break free from his grasp. Then, she slapped him. "Bastard! You're sorry to Mom, and you hurt your wife! I hate you, I hate you!"

She ran away, and Brent followed. "Leave it to me, Mr. Miller."

One of Ethan's hands covered his cheek. It didn't hurt, but he couldn't help the overflowing sorrow.

Before this, he desperately wished to protect Kurt's family so much that he even brought his own family in harm's way.

In the end, Fabian repaid the favor the other way round and Marina lost everything.

Even Olivia, whom he vowed to protect, was marred with scars.

Gradually, his knees knelt to the ground.

Just how much of a failure his life was to fail to protect no one?

Kelvin patted Ethan's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Mr. Miller. There's no win-win in life. No one can own everything. Actually, you're doing the right thing."

Sitting on the mat, he began analyzing seriously. "Think about it. Ms. Erina is turning nine soon. She's mature enough. If you don't clear things up right now, the misunderstanding is bound to deepen as time passes.

"You've protected her from those awful rumors and accusations well enough. Although you could've lied to her forever, we know what's best. You can't sustain the fairy tale for her forever.

"You have children. What would they think when they see another kid call you 'Dad'? Telling Ms. Erina the whole truth is only a matter of time or it'll only serve as a path to destruction to her. The same goes for your children. When that happens, you won't be able to resolve either side."

Kelvin voiced his opinion in the heat of the moment.

Realizing Ethan's gaze on him, Kelvin covered his mouth.

Kelvin let out a wry laugh. "Oops! A slip of the tongue. But I do have a point, don't I? You should lay out the truth when Ms. Erina is mature enough to take it. It'll hurt at the moment, but that's better than suffering for a lifetime.

"If you didn't do so, what will she think of you when she sees you with Mrs. Miller? Betrayer. A betrayer to his marriage and family. She's too sensitive. That'll take a toll on her mentality in the long term.
