Olivia couldn't help but walk into the room. She was sure it used to be a guest room. But it had been renovated into a big room painted with soft colors. Half of the room was blue, and the other half was pink. The lights were turned off, and the door was closed. Stars appeared overhead. The glow was soft, and there were occasional shooting stars. Some disco lights lit up in the room, and a music box sounded. There was a cradle, a rocking horse, and various toys. There were baby clothes arranged according to the babies' age. The collection ranged from clothes for newborn babies to those for one-year-olds. There was even a designated play area for children with a castle, slides, and swings. Ethan had thought about everything that a baby would ever want. It was even better than the room she designed back then. There wasn't a single parent in the world that could refuse a place like this. Olivia ran her fingers over the baby clothes. Her mind wandered, and tears filled her eyes.

Ethan calmed down and asked, "My sister isn't the culprit?"Ethan thought his relationship with Olivia might be less strained if that was the case."I didn't say that. I asked my father about Jodie a few days ago. She wasn't just a simple victim."Olivia explained the entire incident with Jodie in detail. Ethan frowned and began to recall abnormalities that happened on that night. He had invited Byran and the others out. Something came up, so Byran couldn't make it. There were a few wealthy heirs at the party. Ethan didn't like the atmosphere and came up with an excuse to leave. He felt his body burning up when he left, which made him realize he had been drugged. He had Brent look into it, but too many people were present, so the incident went unresolved. Ethan was surprised to learn that the incident was related to Jodie. "That's right, you were Jodie's target. She had sex with an unknown man after you left and had the baby. My father found her after that, and she was pregna

Ethan saw that Olivia was determined, so he didn't refuse. "It's a little far away. You can rest in the car."Olivia said stiffly, "No need. I'm not tired."She nodded off after ten minutes, and her head was tapping on the car window. Ethan looked at her sheepishly. He wouldn't bite. She didn't have to lean against the window. Reaching out, he pulled her over to him. Olivia opened her eyes and saw what he was doing. She tried to struggle but was too sleepy to do so and quickly fell asleep in his embrace.Her body craved sleep during this period of time, so she slept through the entire journey. Ethan looked at her quietly. It had been a long time since he could sit quietly with Olivia. The past couple of years had been chaotic. He hoped that the time would pass slower. The car drove up a hill, and the sky was completely dark. Olivia began to wake up. She realized that she was in Ethan's arms and quickly moved away. Ethan sighed sheepishly. Olivia's voice was a little hoarse a

Olivia wondered what was happening in the woods. It was clear that this wasn't a random attempt. Leia had help. Olivia felt anxious, but she didn't make a move. She was pregnant, and it was safer to remain where she was. She wondered if Ethan had been shot. As Olivia was deep in thought, she heard another loud bang. A bullet pierced through the darkness and barely missed her face. The bullet was buried in the wardrobe behind her. Olivia froze with wide eyes, unable to move. She just had such a close encounter with death. Then, she noticed a man on a slope not that far away. His range of fire was limited because he wasn't armed with a sniper rifle. Olivia was able to make out the outline of the shooter's silhouette.He was wearing a mask. His figure was tall and slender. The eyes behind the mask met with Olivia's gaze. Olivia called out his name immediately, "Jack, is that you?"The man didn't respond. He gave her a good look before disappearing into the woods. Olivia was sure

That would mean Jack was a mercenary too. What about the weapons he stowed on the island? Brent quickly told Ethan about the danger Olivia was in. Ethan promptly approached her and asked, "Are you hurt?"Shaking her head, Olivia said, "No. I hid after the first shot was fired. Their goal must have been to bring Leia away, so they didn't come after me." "It's no longer safe here. Brent, move Olivia as soon as possible."Ethan was worried that the mercenaries might have rigged the resort. And if they were detonated, no one would have time to escape. "Arrangements have been made. Let's go, Mrs. Miller."Olivia looked like she wanted to say something. "I …""I know what you want to talk about. I'll make time for it later. Liv, I can only tell you that these people are dangerous. If they're really after you, the situation will be dire." Ethan said seriously, "But you don't have to worry. You're still safe for now. Their goal was to take Leia away. I'll arrange for another safe

Olivia was flown back to the city by helicopter just to be safe. Jeff went up to her as soon as she got home. He wanted to know if she had made up with Ethan."How did it go with Ethan today?"Faced with Jeff's concern, Olivia could only lie, "It went okay, Dad. I told you not to worry. We were together for the whole day.""That's good. I was scared that the conflict between you two would last. The babies are growing every day. They can pick up on your emotions. The family needs to stick together for the children to grow up healthily."Jeff brought Olivia to see his latest work with a smile. It was a gorgeous, handcrafted wooden crib. "Look at this. It took me several days to make this crib. I just finished it." There were cute animals carved on the four corners of the crib. It had also been polished and smoothed. It wouldn't hurt the babies' mouths even if they nibbled on the crib. There was even a crib mobile on it. The crib was very exquisite. It looked as good as anything s

Marina was indeed awake. It wasn't because she was excited, but instead, it was because she was outraged. Her people discovered that Ethan drove to a villa not long ago. It wasn't Miller property, but it was heavily guarded. It was obvious that Olivia was there. Her husband went to his ex-wife's home the night before their wedding. Marina couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She decided that Olivia had crossed the line, so she was prepared to get back at her.Ethan didn't leave Olivia's room. Even if Olivia hated his guts, he stubbornly sat by her bedside for the entire night. The moonlight shone on him and made him glow. Olivia could see his bandaged hand in the dim light, but she didn't ask about it. In the end, she could no longer fight the drowsiness and fell asleep. Ethan lay down next to her, fully dressed. He thought about everything he had gone through with Olivia. He didn't know what went wrong and caused them to drift apart. Even if their relationship was on thin

Jeff put on a straight face as he was racking his brain for an explanation. "I was trimming some bushes. I'm just throwing away some trash," Jeff said as he threw a bunch of branches into the trash can, which covered up the pieces of the invitation. "Mr. Fordham, you can leave the manual labor to us." "It's okay. The exercise helps with my recovery. Is Olivia up yet?""No, Ms. Fordham has been sleeping more recently. Sometimes, she sleeps until 11:00 am."Jeff thought about something and then said, "Sleeping more is good. By the way, I suddenly remembered that an old friend of mine is celebrating his birthday today. Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call."Mona was an innocent woman. She didn't think about it too much and handed him her phone. "Here, Mr. Fordham."Jeff dialed a number and walked to a corner. Mona saw that he wanted some privacy, so she also moved away. But she'd raise her head to look at Jeff occasionally. Ethan had given specific orders to keep
