Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Ethan took a furtive glance around the apartment. It wasn’t big, but he could feel Olivia’s presence in every corner.

When he noticed the baby crib in her room, he remembered that it was the only thing she’d taken with her when she’d left him. As the realization washed over him, his heart turned into a jumbled mess.

After seeing her jump off the building that day, he’d come to realize one thing.

He’d followed after her without hesitation, which made him understand that he couldn’t stop loving her no matter how much he hated her.

His love and hate were intertwined. They fused into a prickly bramble full of thors, coiling tightly around the two of them. It was as though the more he pushed her off into the dark, the closer he got to the edge of a cliff himself.

Ethan picked up a soft toy on the bed. Olivia had always hugged it to make herself sleep for countless nights in the past two

years.

If only that incident hadn’t happened, he would have been a good husband to Olivia and a good father to their child. Every time her name left his lips, he could still feel the love he felt for her.

He simply couldn’t make himself leave her for good.

Meanwhile, Olivia finally felt better after some time. She slowly pushed herself off the ground and walked to the living room.

She’d half expected that Ethan would have left, given that he was someone who valued time. Yet when she raised her head to look around the house, she spotted him on the balcony.

Sparks from a cigarette flickered as he held it between two fingers. It seemed that his smoking addiction had worsened.

Olivia was astonished that he was still here. Was he waiting to pick up where they’d stopped earlier?
