Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 177

When Olivia said that, she forced herself to recall the sad memories so that she could look at Ethan with teary eyes.

She knew that being ferocious against him wouldn’t do.

After all, they were once husband and wife.

She knew his character more than anyone else did. Softening his heart was the best option.

Her voice was calm, free from complaints and doubts. Tears were pooling in her eyes, too.

Although tears can disgust someone, they could be a weapon when it was used at the right time.

Now, Ethan’s throat parched due to guilt.

“I know.” He lowered his head in self–reproach.

He held her shoulders and licked his lip before saying, “I know that many things have happened between us.

“We cannot turn back time either. Let’s put an end to Leia’s matter. Stay by my side. I’ll take good care of you.”

That was the most significant concession he could make.

Frigid numbness shackled her heart.

He was the person who hurt her deeply in the past. How could she forget about it only because he promised to look after her?

In order not to ruin her plan, Olivia expressed sorrow and rested her head against his chest.

Facing her advance, Ethan had never been this nervous before.

After all, this was the same woman who yelled while pointing at him fiercely in the morning.

Yet, she turned gentle at night.

Their interactions were mostly on the edge for the past two years. Such a calm moment was rare between them.

His body went tense as he quietly waited for her to say something.

“Ethan,” she called.

Olivia’s soft voice was like a cat’s meow, prompting him to hum in response.

She continued, “We need to talk”

“I’m all ears,” he said.
