Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408

“You don’t love me, but I don’t blame you for that. I kept assuming that time would help you get over it, and that you would fall in love with me someday.

“I didn’t mind the cold treatment you gave me. I thought that you would love the child because we were a family. So, I wanted to take good care of her and see her grow up.

“But when I saw her slowly lose her vitality, I resented you to the bone for being heartless. How could you be that cruel? You’d rather give that bitch all of your love instead of giving a smidgen of it to us. So, I swore that I was going to make you regret it for the rest of your life.”

Her eyes turned ferocious as she continued, “Later, I found out that Chloe was pregnant. I lost my child, so how could she have a family and a child that loved her? Which was why I set everything up. I stole her baby right after she gave birth.”

Chris muttered, “That baby was… Marina!”

“That’s right. Don’t you love that bitch so much?” Helen’s face was contorted with madness. “But I overestimated you. Marina was younger than our child, yet you didn’t catch on. Still, I think that it makes sense to some degree too. Why would you care about my baby?

“So, I treated Marina well and let her know that the person you loved was someone else. Resentment is a seed. Once it takes root in your heart, it’ll only grow.

“I took care of her round the clock and manipulated her thoughts. I watched her grow up harboring resentment against you and Chloe. After that, I staged my death. As I expected, you got married to Chloe not long after my death.”

Chris’ face turned crimson. “I thought you were dead. I …”

He couldn’t find an excuse because he really owed Helen.

“You didn’t return home for three years during our marriage. But after you got married to her, you gave up on your business and gave her a peaceful life only because she was worried about you.
