Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191

Olivia was surprised. She didn’t expect Ethan to come to fetch her.

Although she had entrusted everything to Jack, she was still nervous when she got in the car.

She felt like Ethan would be able to see through her right away.

After they got in the car, Ethan asked something he had never asked before.

“Did you have fun?”

“It was okay. It was a little scary. Tom was so scared he sobbed.”

Her expression was calm even though her words were cheery.

Ethan calmly withdrew his gaze from her face. He had thought that she would become her old cheerful self if he allowed her to spend time with the boy.

Their relationship wasn’t the only thing that couldn’t go back to the way it was. The same applied to Olivia herself.

In the past, when they were sitting together, she would hold his hands and keep talking. It was like her mouth didn’t need rest at all.

Unlike now, she sat properly. Her fingers were holding onto the armrest. Her eyes were looking out the window.

She only spoke up to answer his question. When they didn’t speak, it was as if there was a mountain between them.

No one spoke another word on the ride back home. The atmosphere was suffocating.

Olivia could feel Ethan’s gaze on her. Her heart was beating fast. She was wondering if he had found out that she ran off.

After all, he had warned her last night.

He was willing to help develop the island and ensure the living standards on the island were acceptable.

He had only one condition: that she stop seeing Jack.

She had sworn to do that not long ago. She went back on her word the very next day.

She wondered what he was thinking about.

He didn’t speak. His gaze was like a sharp knife that was cutting her up.

Olivia sighed in relief when they reached the Miller residence, and he didn’t confront her.

Olivia felt a pain in her wrist. Ethan pulled her toward him.

She fell into his embrace. Her palms were pushing against his chest weakly.

She looked up at him in confusion. There was a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
