Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1448

Unlike the Kingston residence, the Heath residence was filled with a lively ambiance.

By the time Olivia returned home, the maids were cleaning the lawn.

They greeted her warmly when they saw her, "You're back, Ms. Olivia."

Tatiana had restructured the household management after Lisa's departure. The maids left were kind.

It was such a rare occasion for the Heath residence to be so full of life. Mason had told the maids to clean up every nook and cranny of the house, ready to welcome the new year.

A few tailored gowns varied in colors and designs were hung on the wall.

Olivia assumed that Molly was having a hard time choosing one of them. "Having a hard time picking one? Actually, you're lean, so this silver and white—"

"Why not? You should know that we'll be announcing you as one of the family members tomorrow. Grandpa's going to tell everyone that you're his daughter. How can you not attend?"

Olivia thought that Molly's overthinking and introverted side were giving her a hard time. She cooed, "Don't worry. I'll be by your side."

"If I attend the party, I'll become Ms. Heath."

"That's right. Are you not happy about that? Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Linus are happy to have found you."

Molly's eyes glistened. "They treat me well, and they wish to make up for whatever happened in the past, but… If I become Ms. Heath, there's no future for me and Yale. I've lived with the Kingston family long enough to know what kind of family they are. Dad will never agree to our marriage."

She failed to control her tears as she continued, "Olivia, you might think that I'm being silly, but without him, I would've died in their hands. I wouldn't have been able to come this far to meet my parents. Yale is the nicest person to me in this world. I want to be with him…"
