Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

She considered all the possibilities for how this could play out on her way to Collington

Cove. All she had to do was abandon her pride and cooperate with Marina. It couldn’t be that difficult. What did her pride matter when she was about to die anyway?

It was her first time inside Collington Cove.

The decorations were all to her liking: blue arches, horseshoe–shaped windows, gray walls, and white curtains swaying in the sea breeze. It had a mysterious, romantic air to it.

It was a pity that the owner of the house was Marina.

With the maid leading her, Olivia arrived at the spacious and bright living room. The room sported a 270–degree circular floor -to–ceiling window that provided a clear view of the sea from every angle.

Before she spotted Marina, something touched her leg. It was Connor, whom she hadn’t seen for some time.

“Mommy,” he called out, his voice cute and pleasant to the ear. His eyes were sparkling like stars in the sky, and Olivia felt a little more affectionate toward him.

Connor opened his arms toward Olivia, drooling as he said, “Mommy, hug me.”

Olivia wanted to reach out and pat his head, but the nanny quickly came over and took Connor away. “Oh, come upstairs, quickly, Connor. Mommy will come to play with you later,” the nanny coaxed.

Connor was very upset about being taken away and began to cry, reaching out his arms towards Olivia. “Mommy, mommy.”

Olivia’s heart ached, and she was surprised that she felt this way towards Marina’s son.

After a while, Marina appeared on the second floor. As she could hear Connor’s voice from afar, she told him, “Good boy, you finally know how to call out to me. I’ll come to you later.”

Connor ignored her and kept looking in Olivia’s direction.

Marina plopped herself down on the sofa as the maid asked, “What drink would you like?”
