Olivia changed her clothes in the changing room at the airport beforehand. She put on a thick large cap and a mask. No one would be able to recognize her.

After Ethan's return was made known, the cars that came to pick him up had formed a long line outside.

Before they left the airport, Ethan looked longingly at Olivia. "Liv."

Olivia crossed her arms. "Ethan, we've already made a promise to each other. Are you going back on your word now?"

"No, I just don't want to part with you."

"Your position right now isn't stable enough yet. It's not safe for me to be by your side anyway. The best situation is to not let anyone know of my existence, right?"

Olivia was more decisive than she used to be.

Ethan knew that she was right, but he still felt reluctant to leave her.

"I know. I'm just—"

Olivia suddenly took off her mask. Then, standing on her tiptoes, she planted a kiss on his lips. Ethan reached out, placing his hand on her waist and pulling her in to deepen the kiss.

    Ethan returned to his and Olivia's marital home in the past. Ever since Olivia left, Ethan had moved back in. Everything was maintained the way it had been when she left back then.Ethan had also renovated the baby room from back then. Sometimes, he and Connor would stay here.Every day, Madam Burgess would place some beautiful bouquets on the dining table, awaiting the return of the lady of the house someday.Perhaps because Ethan knew that Olivia was also in this city, the empty house didn't seem that cold anymore.Brent eagerly followed Ethan to the study, reporting recent news to him.One of them caught Ethan's attention. "Did you just say that Golden Shark died? How?"Ethan couldn't possibly let Golden Shark go just like that, but before he could do anything about it, he received news that Golden Shark was done for.Brent showed Ethan the post on the dark web a month ago.In the post, Golden Shark's head stood out a lot. Also, the author of the post had tactics similar to

    Olivia smiled. "We didn't get back together."Jack put on an expression that said, "Do I look like a fool to you?"Olivia shrugged. "Alright, fine. We're not remarrying, but we slept with each other.""You're quite honest about that.""I'm a normal woman too. Isn't it normal for me to have certain needs?" Olivia was a little simple and naive around Jack.Their relationship was more akin to siblings than lovers.Jack had helped her a lot through the years, and Olivia had already thought of him as a family member she could depend on.He said that his family was dead, and she didn't have family members either."It's surprising that he's willing to let you go.""He has no choice even if he's not willing to do it. The situation now isn't something he can control."Olivia sat down next to Jack. Then, she elbowed Jack in the chest. "What about you? You're old enough. Don't you have any needs in that aspect? How do you deal with them?"Jack gave her a sideways glance. Olivia raised

    Olivia lay on the large bed of about 6.5 feet. A soft mattress cushioned her.Olivia had no idea if she was too excited or elated, but either way, she didn't feel like sleeping at all.She had been living with Ethan for the past few days, so she was already used to his warm embrace.After tossing and turning in bed for an hour, not only was Olivia not sleepy at all, but her mind was even clearer than before.Putting on a coat, Olivia grabbed the keys and went downstairs. She headed for the garage. Not long after, a stylish black coupe sped along the road.…After dealing with problems for the whole day, Ethan glanced at his watch. Rubbing his temples, he returned to his bedroom.He had just opened the door when he keenly sensed the faint alcohol scent in the room.Someone was here!Before he could make a move, a shadow leaped toward him from the darkness.As the familiar scent invaded Ethan's nostrils, surprise and joy colored his eyes. "Li—"The woman had already sealed his

    After taking a shower and freshening herself, Olivia walked to the wardrobe. The clothes inside the wardrobe were all newly added for her.When Ethan woke up and leaned against the bed, he saw Olivia sitting at the dressing table and putting on makeup.At that moment, he felt as if they never separated in the first place.Everything was just like what it used to be.Olivia was applying blusher on her cheeks when she noticed the image of another person appearing in the mirror. Ethan hugged her from behind.She could feel the warm temperature of his chest on her back. Ethan bit her ear gently as he asked, "You're dressed so nicely, Liv. Who are you meeting?"She wasn't wearing the mask, which meant that she would be seeing someone with her original face.Her makeup wasn't too heavy. It was the popular natural-looking makeup. There was glitter under her eyes, and she exuded a pitiful look.Ethan remembered that Olivia didn't like such makeup. It was too pretentious for her.After

    Stepping on the gas pedal, Olivia headed out. Ethan glanced at the license plate number.Back then, he had given Olivia lots of houses and cars.But this sports car wasn't under his name.Olivia rarely drove in the past. Even if she did drive, she only preferred low-profile cars.She had changed a lot in the past few years.Ethan wondered who she was going to meet today.He sighed. If he knew this was going to happen, he wouldn't have agreed to it so easily."Mr. Miller, everyone is waiting for you. You should set out now." Brent's voice rang out behind him.Ethan almost forgot that he had a bunch of problems to solve.He wiped the lipstick smear away from his lips. When he turned around, he had returned to normal. "Let's go."…Olivia parked the car beforehand. Then, she lowered her sunglasses and took out the face foundation from her bag, fixing her makeup.As she gazed at her perfect reflection in the mirror, her lips curved.She was innocent and captivating enough.To

    He had met the woman six years ago. More accurately, he had seen lots of photos of her, and he knew everything about her.He knew how outstanding she was, how many prizes she won when she was younger, and how many people courted her when she grew up.He also knew that in the end, she abandoned her future for a man, and she got married early on.But then, the man she loved abandoned her, and she was heartbroken every day.In reality, the two had met before, but back then, his face was hidden in the darkness.The first time he saw her, she was wearing a nightgown. With a protruding tummy, she crashed weakly on the carpet. He had been holding a gun aimed directly at her heart.She was Olivia Fordham, one of the targets he was tasked to kill.The woman who had disappeared into thin air suddenly appeared in front of him. Warren was quite surprised by that."You're Alice …"Olivia tucked her hair behind her ear as she put on a confident and bold smile. "I guess I haven't introduced

    Everly once said that if Olivia was willing enough, no man in this world would be able to say no to her beautiful face.Humans lived by sight, after all. Appearances would always be an important factor when they were looking for a partner.Falling for a beautiful person was only a matter of time.Warren was stunned.Behind Olivia was a view of the large church in the snowy background. Olivia was sweet and refreshing, and when she smiled at him, Warren could feel his heart skipping a beat.Realizing that this wasn't a good sign, Warren shifted his gaze to the box. "What is this?""Open it and see for yourself."It was a wooden box that didn't look too expensive. But when Warren opened the box, his expression instantly changed.A white edelweiss lay quietly in the box.It was a flower that only existed in legends. Because it grew at high altitudes, humans couldn't get somewhere that high up.So, not many people knew about the flower, and it was also extra precious for that reas

    Olivia ordered enough food to fill their table. Many of the dishes were Warren's favorites.Warren was a little stunned. "How did you know that I like these dishes?""You told me before that your mother came from the south, so you probably enjoy southern cuisine. It's not that hard to guess." Olivia knew where exactly to draw the line.She generously shared with him what she saw overseas. She saw for herself auroras, icebergs, deserts, and oceans."Varren, have you seen snow in the desert? It's amazing. You'll feel like only two colors are left in the whole world."Like a child, she happily described those beautiful sceneries. When the steak was served, Olivia finally stopped talking."Sorry, I don't have many friends in Aldenvine, so I spoke a little too much at our first meeting. You won't mind, will you?"Warren shook his head. He had seen those sceneries before, but when Olivia described them like that, he suddenly felt like his gray past was injected with color."It's okay

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long. When the revenge was finally over, she felt hollow on the inside. …Yarrows reached their peak of beauty during the season, dancing along the wind.

    Warren was so blinded by love that he didn't realize that Olivia had spent the last two years setting this up.The moment he saw Olivia nestling in Ethan's arms, he knew that his identity had been exposed since the beginning.It was time to end all of this.Although the Fordham family had won the fight, they sustained heavy casualties. Brandon and Deborah, together with Jacqueline, had hurt and killed countless people. Quinn became a sacrifice, never waking up again despite her young age. Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family. Don't worry."The breeze carried a leave before it landed on Olivia's shoulder, as though trying to respond to Olivia.Douglas reunited with the family, and Natalie was finally buried in peace.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived.

    Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

    Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

    Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead? The Fordham family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.Olivia sighed softly. "You're too young to be sighing like that." Wayne suddenly appeared next

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
