My Husband Froze My Card on My Birthday novel Chapter 82

Chapter 19

Ethan looked at Olivia with eyes full of deep affection. From his pocket, he pulled out the engagement ring he never got

the chance to give her in their past life.

This time, as he slipped it onto her finger, he was certain everything was different now.

No matter how it had happened, he was grateful the fate had given him another chance to make things right.

Since Olivia was still recovering. Ethan didn’t want her working, and she herself didn’t feel ready to face crowds. So instead, she stayed home and began sketching out short illustrated stories.

By chance, one of her stories went viral on X. From then on, she treated it like her full–time job and gave up the idea of

ever working outside again.

After she was discharged, Olivia had been living with Ethan.

The Sinclair family had come to visit her twice, but both times ended in unpleasant confrontations. Eventually, Ethan just barred them from the house altogether.

They hired a housekeeper, and Olivia occasionally brought lunch to Ethan at the office. Those were the moments everyone in the company secretly looked forward to because whenever the boss saw his fiancée, his temper magically

vanished.

That day, after finishing the final chapter of her latest story, Olivia checked the time and realized she could still make it

to Ethan’s office with lunch.

He’d been working overtime nonstop lately. Most nights, by the time he came home, she was already fast asleep. Half–asleep and dazed, she often stirred as Ethan gently pulled her into his arms.

Every morning, she’d see his reminder messages to eat breakfast, proof he’d already left for the office.

Come to think of it, it had been a while since they’d shared a proper meal together.

When she arrived at the building, Olivia took the private elevator straight to Ethan’s office.

“Mr. Carrington is currently in a meeting. I can let him know you’re here,” the assistant said.

“No need to trouble him–I’ll find him myself,” Olivia replied with a soft smile.

After placing the lunch on the office table, she walked slowly toward the guest lounge.

The air inside was heavy with tension.

Sebastian and Lillian, the two people she hadn’t seen in a long time, were seated inside.

“Olivia is my sister. Who the hell are you to stop me from seeing her?” Sebastian snapped.

Ethan let out a cold chuckle. “Sister? From the way you and the rest of the Sinclair family treated her, you sure didn’t act

like she was.”

“I never restricted her. She’s the one who doesn’t want to see you.”

“That’s impossible!” Sebastian’s face twisted. “She’d never shut us out. We’re her family–she loves us more than anyone?

For the first time, Ethan realized just how shameless Sebastian could be.

“The last couple of times she saw you, all you did was force her to accept Lillian. Every visit ended in a fight. She was miserable for days afterward. If you really cared about her as family, you would’ve sent Lillian away and given Olivia the

apology she deserves.”

Lillian’s eyes instantly welled with tears.

“Ethan… Did Olivia say something about me behind my back? You weren’t like this before. How could you say such things now? How could you tell my brother to send me away?”

But Ethan didn’t give her the satisfaction of sympathy.

“Olivia never once said a bad word about you. Not a single one,” he said firmly. “You’re the one who keeps trying to stir up drama and twist everything to make her look like the problem. What are you really trying to do?”

He held up his right hand, the one now wearing the engagement ring.

“I’ve already proposed to her. So from now on, don’t say anything that could cause her to misunderstand”

“Maybe I handled things badly before,” he continued, voice turning sharp, “but Olivia’s awake now, and I’m telling you this–keep your distance. In fact, you’d better pack up and get out of the Sinclair estate. And if I find out you’ve hurt her in any way… you’ll pay for it.”

The coldness in his tone stunned Lillian into silence. She didn’t dare move.

Just then, Olivia pushed open the door. Her eyes swept past Sebastian and Lillian, barely lingering, as if they were

strangers.

“Did you bring me lunch?” Ethan’s voice immediately softened at the sight of her, the fierce edge from moments ago completely gone.

“Yeah. Your assistant said you were here–did I interrupt anything?”

Before Ethan could respond. Sebastian barked at her.

“Olivia! You see us and don’t even say hello?”

She paused, turned back to look at him, then asked calmly, “Why would I?”

“We’re your family,” he snapped. “Even if you marry Ethan, we’re the ones closest to you.”

Olivia didn’t respond. Instead, she reached down and lifted the hem of her skirt.

This scar,” she said flatly, “was from the car accident. It nearly tore through my entire thigh. Took hundreds of stitches
