Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431

Ethan smiled sheepishly and said, “Dad, I did something that upset her. But don’t worry, I’ll be sure

to get her forgiveness.”

“Good man. I knew you still loved her.”

Ethan’s attitude reassured Jeff. “It’s hard to meet someone you love who loves you back.

“You and Olivia are lucky to have found each other. Do not squander it.”

“I know that, dad. I’ll never let her down.”

Jeff smiled gently, saying, “You don’t have to trouble yourself by massaging my legs.

“You’re the CEO of a huge company. People will make fun of you if they see you doing this.”

“I’m just helping out my father-in-law. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just focus on getting

better, dad. Leave the rest to me.

“If you don’t like the rose, I can get someone to plant some orchids. I’ll take you for a walk after your legs get better.”

“Okay. I’m happy to know that’s what you think.”

It was already 10:00 pm when Ethan left Jeff’s room.

The light in Olivia’s room was still on. She was reading a medical book on the bed when he entered the

room.

Olivia didn’t even look at him when he walked in.

Ethan went next to her and turned up the light a little. He said gently, “It’s bad for your eyes if it’s too dim.”

Olivia closed her book and rolled her eyes at him. She fell back onto the bed and covered her head with

the blanket.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Ethan usually left the room when she did that, but not today. Olivia could sense him sitting down on

the side of the bed.

Ethan said softly, “I’m getting married to Marina, Liv.”

“I know. I’m not your mom. You don’t have to report to me.”

Olivia started to feel stuffy in the blankets, so she popped out for some air. She saw Ethan’s back facing her. He looked devastated.

She quickly drove the thoughts from her mind. She couldn’t afford to feel bad for Ethan, or

misfortune would befall her.

Ethan stared at the streetlamp outside the window.

The weather was becoming warm, and moths had started to appear. They were fluttering their wings under the light.

“Liv, I don’t love her. I never did,” Ethan murmured like he knew she wouldn’t believe him.

“My feelings for Marina were never affection. There was only responsibility. In fact, I …”

Olivia suddenly felt her stomach churning. She got off the bed and ran toward the bathroom.

She leaned over the toilet, retching.
