Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584

Olivia was disappointed that she missed on her first try.

“It’s okay, we still have plenty of chances.”

“Okay.”

Olivia tried throwing the ribbons a few more times. She was an athletic woman, so she had enough strength to throw the balls up high. But the balls either scraped the branches before falling, or they missed completely. She didn’t even land one successfully after five tries.

Olivia wondered if karma didn’t allow her to land her ribbons on the tree because she didn’t want it to happen.

She wasn’t worried because Ethan had five ribbons too. She figured it would be a simple task for a man.

Olivia shrugged and said, “It’s your turn.”

Ethan threw his first ribbon high up. It was clear he was aiming for the top of the tree. He threw it with just enough force and at the right angle. Strangely, the ribbon landed on a branch, but the ball slowly slid down.

Olivia saw Ethan’s expression turn cold. She quickly comforted him, saying, “It’s just an accident. You’ll get it next time.”

Ethan threw the remaining four ribbons, but the same thing happened every single time. They landed on the branch, but they didn’t stay put.

Even the vendor was dumbfounded. He wasn’t superstitious as well, but other participants were able to hang their ribbons on the tree with one try. He hadn’t seen anyone failing after nine tries.

Ethan had one more ribbon left, and his expression was chilling.

Olivia chuckled dryly, trying to come up with an excuse for him. But she saw Ethan flipping over the railing and walking straight to the tree.

He put his palm on the tree trunk with his back facing everyone. No one could see what he was doing.

After a few seconds, he threw the ribbon. Everyone’s eyes were on the ribbon. Olivia jumped excitedly when she saw that the

ribbon was hanging on the tree.

Ethan’s expression finally eased into a smile. “Alright.”

He walked back to Olivia and said, “Let’s go.”

Ethan held Olivia’s hand and left. Then, a sudden breeze blew at them, and Olivia shivered from the cold.
