Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

Olivia shut her eyes. She was prepared for the slap, but the expected pain never came.

By the time she opened her eyes, he walked away while holding the gray suit she had chosen.

He slammed the door shut with a loud thud, leaving her alone in the room.

She slid onto the floor as her knees became weak.

A moment ago, she was so livid that she didn’t realize she was sweating.

Her body was trembling, too. But she didn’t know if it was out of anger or fear.

Ethan’s gaze was so frightening that she thought she was never going to make it until tomorrow.

It was her first time reprimanding him ever since they got together. She bet she was the first person to do that to him.

She patted her chest. Her racing heartbeat wasn’t able to calm down until now.

A few minutes later, Madam Burgess rushed into the bedroom.

Looking at Olivia’s pale face, Madam Burgess sighed. “Mrs. Miller, what did you do? I’ve never seen Mr. Miller this angry before.”

Olivia finally regained her composure. She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled. “Nothing. It’s just a fight.”

Madam Burgess was upset by the answer. She seated herself next to Olivia.

“Mrs. Miller, although he has another woman, I don’t think he has feelings for that vixen.

“Previously, when you were not around, he returned to the Miller residence every day.

“Take the recent incident, for instance. When you and the Young Master went missing, he couldn’t sleep nor eat well.

“He fell sick for a long time. His complexion finally regained its color these days.”

Madam Burgess placed her hands on Olivia’s shoulders. “Please bear with my nagging. I watched Mr. Miller grow up.

“You’re the only woman he brought home. The feelings he has for you aren’t the same as for others.

“He deserves a punishment for his wrongdoings, but you should consider his genuine feelings.”

Olivia thought of Ethan’s face and sneered. “Genuine feelings? Those feelings are too burdensome for me.”

Olivia was still holding Ethan’s box. Last night, she figured that she needed to talk to him.

But the fight this morning had put her plans on hold.

That afternoon, Olivia came across an article online.

The delayed engagement ceremony between the Millers and the Carltons was going to be held at the end of the month.

There was a picture of Ethan and Marina.

He was wearing a stoic face in a gray suit while Marina held onto his arm with a sweet smile.

The gray suit was the one Olivia picked for him.

They seemed to be a match made in heaven.

Olivia felt like her old scars were being reopened painfully.
