Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 839

Ethan knew Olivia so well that he was certain she wouldn't stay by his side after what had happened.

He had long expected such a day would come, so he had been avoiding her and simply wishing that the day would come later.

She first poured him a glass of water before seating herself on a chair. "Speaking about it, this is the first time I've poured you a glass of water even though you've been looking after us for a long time."

Looking sideways, Ethan coughed with a fist over his mouth. "Thank you."

' Would you like to take your medicine?" asked the concerned Olivia.

"It’s alright. It's just the coughing. I'm much better now."

"Thank you so much for what you've done for us. You're a nice person. You're hard-working and experienced. It's unbecoming of me to make you look after the kids. You're still young. You should try building a career out there," she said implicitly.

Ethan held the glass with two hands. His fingers caressed the smooth surface slowly. He lowered his gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He responded after a moment of silence, "My feelings for you are troubling you."

His blunt remarks rendered her at the end of her wits.

Judging from his stiff character-which was similar to her- she initially assumed that he would pretend nothing had happened that night.

To her surprise, he was forcing her to answer him face-to- face by bringing it up.

Olivia licked her lips and clasped her hands, gazing at her fingers with her head hung low. "This is only one of the reasons. Even if not for that incident, I was already planning to go our separate ways after arriving in Aldenvine."

"Alicia likes me a lot."

"I know."
