Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 956

Henry stared into Ethan's eyes.

"The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing them to?"

Henry wasn't stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan's attitude toward Olivia long ago.

"I knew I couldn't keep it from you." Ethan didn't try to keep it from Henry.

"I don't care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn't have meddled in my business." Henry stared at Ethan coldly.

Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in.

"Alright. To be fair, you wouldn't have understood your feelings for Ms. Hilton if you hadn't been separated. You can't pin this on Ethan. They couldn't have taken her if she didn't want to leave.

"So, instead of blaming your friend, why don't you two think about why they wanted to leave?"

Henry sat down dejectedly. "Why? I gave her so much money. Isn't she in love with money? Why did she still leave me?"

"Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bought with money, that would mean she didn't really love you. She didn't want the money and left you. It's highly possible that she's really in love with you.

"But you treat her like a plaything. Since she couldn't stand it anymore, she could only leave."

Oftentimes, a bystander could see things with a more objective view.

Henry was stunned. "Are you saying she's in love with me? But the rules we made up state that we'll keep feelings out of this relationship."

Ethan rolled his eyes at him. "If she's really just a plaything to you, why are you so worked up over her?"

"I …"

"Don't you understand? A plaything can be replaced, but a lover can't. You've fallen in love with her, but you don't even know it yet."
