Olivia would have two days off, so Ethan took a day's leave too.

The couple slept without setting the alarm. When Olivia opened her eyes, he was still beside her watching her gently.

"Not busy today?"

"I know you're off today, so I made early arrangements. Up already?"

"Yeah. Arrangements, you say?"

"It's a surprise."

She didn't have a clue about his so-called arrangements. After washing up, she followed him to the helicopter.

It was a two-hour journey to reach an island.

"Are you bringing me here for a trip?"

"No." Ethan strode forward holding her hand, leading her to a watchtower.

Gunshots could be heard from the woods while they were on their way.

Soon, she realized his intentions when a kid ran out of the woods.

It was Connor!

Waves of emotions pounded in her the moment she saw him. Tears ran down her cheeks. "It's Connor."

"His training ends today. I brought you here so that you don't have to ask me questions about him. He scored with flying colors. He took first pla

    Connor threw himself into Olivia's arms, tears flowing like a waterfall. The idea of it being a dream feared him. "Mom, is it really you?"Olivia failed to hold her tears back as she kept repeating, "Yes, it's me. Sorry for coming to you so late.""I thought you didn't want me, Mom. I waited here for years."Whenever the season for the cherry blossoms to bloom came, Connor would come to the watchtower.However, even if he waited until the flowers withered, she never came.Ethan told Connor that he couldn't locate Olivia either.Years and years passed, and he questioned himself if she didn't come because she disliked him."It's all my fault, son. I was wrong. I should've come to you earlier. You're my precious son. How could I not want you?"If he wasn't the eldest son, Olivia would've brought him along to raise him herself.She wiped his tears away. "Don't cry, I love you."He definitely grew up physically, but he was still that crying baby on the inside. "I can't believe

    Olivia asked an errand boy to send the cream to Jenna first thing the next morning. She returned to the Heath residence, where it had been peaceful the past two days.Krystal was preoccupied because of Yale. Despite the resentment, she went along with him because she had promised her parents. Thanks to her dates, the Heath residence was peaceful these two days."You're back. Come, take a look at this painting." Mason beckoned Olivia over.She stood next to him. "The colors complement each other well. You can hang it in a museum."Mason chuckled. "Oh, stop that.""You look better.""And it's all thanks to you. I think I can go to work starting tomorrow. Of course, you have to come along just in case. Is that fine with you?""I'm fine with it. Mr. Linus mentioned it before. I won't leave until you fully recover.""I'm glad to hear that. I missed you when you weren't around these two days."A warm smile cracked on her face. "You're simply used to me talking to you.""Yeah. A

    The new arrival was Tatiana, who would come over every time Olivia made meals for Mason.Tatiana was simply curious about how Olivia made those meals which he couldn't stop praising.However, what Tatiana was witnessing right now was beyond her expectations.Olivia couldn't stop Linus from doing that due to his fast moves.Krystal's incident had put Tatiana on hot bricks. How could Tatiana possibly keep her cool at this?Almost immediately, she flung her hand at Olivia. Linus pulled Olivia behind him, taking the slap for her. "Mom, what are you doing?""I've been wondering all along about why you and Mason care about an outsider so much? These days, I've been arranging blind dates for you and you're not interested in any of the dates. And now, this? Your sister almost gave me a stroke with her foolish deed. Are you going to give me a heart attack?""This is a misunderstanding, Mom. There's nothing going on between Vanessa and me.""Nothing? Do you think that I'm blind?" Tatiana

    Linus was not any ordinary person, and Olivia didn't wish to interact with him in any way.If this continued, something beyond her plans might happen.As an afterthought, she waved her hand in denial. "Let's straighten things out, Mrs. Heath. I'm not interested in Mr. Linus. I also have a child. I'm married."Linus didn't act as his usual reticent self as he blurted, "Haven't you already forgotten him? What if you can't remember him forever? I heard that you have a daughter. I don't mind treating her as my own. I'm serious about you, Vanessa."Tatiana slapped him without holding herself back. "Ridiculous! What kind of nonsense is this? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I asked you to find yourself a wife, but you found a taken person! Someone with a daughter at that! Are you out of your mind?""Mom, I'm an adult in my 30s. I know what I'm doing."Olivia raised her hand warily. "I … Can I give my two cents? Mr. Heath, Mrs. Heath, I swear on my name that I didn't seduce you

    Two days later, Julia light-heartedly called Linus to meet up."Linus, here are the perfumes you told me to look for.""Give 'em."Lines of perfumes were arranged before her. She proffered them to him carefully. "Here. They're herbal-scented perfumes. They're that popular, and they might not smell that nice. Give them a try.""How bad could they be?" Olivia's natural scent mesmerized him. Although it was the scent of herbs, it didn't put him off. Instead, he found himself addicted to it. The moment he opened the lid of one, a pungent scent rushed to his head and he almost fainted.It indeed smelled bad.He opened over a hundred perfumes one by one."Is there any that you like?""It's not right.""What is?""It doesn't smell like a certain herb but more like a bunch of them mixed together. I can't tell what it is. Anyway, the fragrance I'm looking for isn't strong. It's mild and it smells nice."Julia deflated. "There's no such thing unless it's the person's natural sce

    The maritime museum collected all sorts of artifacts from different countries. It wasn't usually open to the public, so it was Olivia's first time visiting. She was stunned to see the stuff that was on display. She fell behind the crowd as she was carefully observing each single item on display. The one item she was most shocked by was a statue. It was pure white and looked very natural under the lighting. She was creeped out when she noticed the face on the statue because it resembled her own. But the statue was an antique from hundreds of years ago. It was probably a coincidence. Olivia turned around and realized that the crowd had already moved forward. She went and caught up to them. After all, she was paid to do her job. She had to focus on getting it done.Before she could take a few steps, she noticed a foreign reporter squeezing through the crowd to get to the front. It wasn't even the time for interviews yet. Why was that person in a rush? Olivia was a very cautio

    Olivia didn't expect the cover she had been keeping up for so long to be blown at that moment. Linus slowly walked toward her."Mr. Heath, I can explain."Linus slammed his fist on the dressing table, which caused Olivia to shudder."So you never lost your memories?" Linus said through gritted teeth. Olivia knew there was no point in lying. So, she nodded. "Yes.""That child that Krystal saw was Ethan's daughter?""Yes.""You and Ethan …"Olivia licked her lips. "It's complicated between us."She didn't even know how to describe their relationship herself. She couldn't just say he went from her ex-husband to her sex friend, right? It was pretty ridiculous. "So you …"Olivia immediately said, "Mr. Heath, I'm indeed Ethan's ex-wife. Vanessa is my codename. I didn't create it to get closer to you or your family. I did it to keep myself safe.""Keep yourself safe?" "Some people have been after my life since a few years back. Even Ethan wasn't able to find who wanted me de

    They used to be brother-in-arms. But time passed, and they spent many years apart. At the moment, the Heaths viewed Ethan as a major threat. So, they weren't as close as they used to be. Ethan wrapped his arm around Olivia's waist. "Since you already know, I don't have anything to hide. Liv is my wife."Ethan's childish attitude was amusing to Olivia. He was so clearly trying to make known the fact that Olivia was with him.He used to be a cold and domineering man, but he had become so childish. It was funny and frustrating at the same time. "Correction. She's your ex-wife," Linus reminded. Olivia's eyes widened. Ethan had become childish, but Linus wasn't much better. What happened to these two?Ethan replied condescendingly, "Even if she's my ex-wife, it means she used to be mine. Unlike a certain someone who never even got to be with her. Besides, we have a few adorable children together. Do you know how cute my daughter is?"Olivia was rendered speechless. Why was he sudd

    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.

    "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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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
