Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Ethan returned home after dealing with the Carlton family. He initially thought Olivia would wait for him in the living room like before.

No matter how late he returned home, she would always sleep on the couch in the living room.

She always made sure the lights were turned on when he returned.

However, the house was shrouded by darkness when he opened the door. She wasn’t on the couch either.

Ethan was tipsy.

Before this, Olivia would welcome him home. She would grumble while looking for hangover pills for him.

She was naggy, but he loved it.

Unlike before, he felt cold although the heater was turned on.

He opened the bedroom door. Thanks to the lightning from the hallway, he could see the bump on the bed.

Olivia fell asleep a moment ago.

Ethan pulled her into his embrace. The air that reeked of alcohol woke her up.

“You drank?”

Hearing her groggy voice, he grumbled, “Olivia, you’ve changed.”

It didn’t make sense to her. “Are you kidding me? You’re the one who had a change of heart first.”

He wrapped his arms tightly around her. He appeared mild at the moment.

“I didn’t. I never did.” His drowsy voice rang into her ears.

Olivia didn’t buy it. After all, his and Marina’s son was already a year old.

How could he claim that he never had a change of heart?

Nevertheless, she knew his character all too well that she should let him be. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to have a good night’s sleep tonight.

Just like that, she nestled in his arms quietly. She didn’t want to tick him off.

As she had expected, her obedient reaction comforted him.

Ethan hugged her tighter and rested his head on her shoulder. “Liv, I barely found you. Can you not run away again?”

It had been a long time since she last heard his gentle tone.

If this happened two months ago, she would’ve been elated.

Now, it didn’t affect her emotions a single bit.
