Only a wall lamp was lit in the large bedroom. Olivia was wearing thin pajamas and was barefooted as she curled up in a corner.Her face was filled with terror. Ethan's heart broke when he saw that, and he dashed up to Olivia."What happened, Liv?"As if grabbing her final lifeline, Olivia threw herself into Ethan's embrace.When Ethan saw the wet trails of tears on her face, his heart ached terribly."Don't cry. I'm back."Ethan's body was still wet, but Olivia didn't mind it at all. She gripped Ethan's arm with both hands. "Tell me, how did our children die?""Why are you mentioning the children again?" Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears on her face."I think I saw a person jump from a very high place."As Ethan comforted her, he patted her back. "It was a stormy night, and the rain was heavy that night. The road was dangerous."The car was out of control, and it veered off the winding mountain road. In the end, it fell into the sea. Is that the image in your mind?"
Olivia slowly got used to life without memories even though she always felt an emptiness in her heart. Also, she would sometimes stare at a spot and zone out for some reason.But Ethan pampered her greatly. This was proof enough that love could melt everything.Olivia counted the days. She would be going overseas with Ethan in a few days.She heard that in the past, she often traveled around the world on her days off. She had been to many places, but sadly, she couldn't remember any of them now.Olivia fantasized quite a lot about life overseas. She felt like she previously didn't want to stay in this city at all.Before they left, Olivia suggested that they visit the graves of their loved ones. After all, they had no idea when they would be coming back.As soon as winter rolled around, Aldenvine would be covered in snow. It was very cold, and the roads were quite slippery as well. Olivia wore a thick down jacket, covering herself from head to toe.The mountain path was difficul
Ethan, who used to be extremely patient with her, didn't have any intention of staying at that moment.He kept urging Olivia, "It's someone else's grave. There's nothing interesting to look at. Let's go."Olivia thought that it was bad luck to say such things. Still, she couldn't help but glance at it."Amazing. I would've thought Jodie was a Miller if not for her last name being Ferguson."Olivia repeated the name. "Jodie. Why does that name sound so familiar? Ethan, did I know her in the past?"After Ethan confirmed that Leia was still alive and that he had mistaken Jodie for her, he had the gravestone replaced. All of the information was changed to Jodie's. But Ethan didn't expect Olivia to be so hung up about it.After calming himself, Ethan answered calmly, "No, you didn't."Olivia glanced at the gravestone a few more times before looking away. "I must be overthinking it. There are so many people in this world, so it's normal for some to look alike. Let's go."Ethan took a cloak a
Olivia didn't know what Ethan was planning. She simply allowed the makeup artists to apply various cosmetics on her face.She could hear praises from time to time. "Goodness, your skin is so supple! I can see that Mr. Miller treats you very well.""It's not just your skin too. Even your features are flawless. Seriously, I've done many celebrities' makeup before."It doesn't matter whether they were born pretty or if they worked for it later on, I've never met someone with features as perfect as yours."Olivia was a little stunned by the praise. She asked in a small voice, "Um, where am I going? Why am I being dressed up like this?"The makeup artists were surprised. "Didn't Mr. Miller tell you? Well, then we won't tell you much either. We wouldn't want to ruin Mr. Miller's surprise."Before this, Brent had already told them not to reveal too much. The makeup artists didn't know which parts they should keep secret, so they simply shut up. They quietly dressed Olivia up.Suddenly, an ear
Olivia didn't see any emotions on Ethan's face. She recalled the woman's arrogant attitude just now. She could guess that Nikki wouldn't be a friendly person either.Ethan seemed to be very worried that she might overthink things. He rarely explained things of his own accord in the past. But now, he was crouching down and placing Olivia's hand on his palm.He was half-crouched on the ground, causing his huge body to now be much shorter than the seated Olivia.But Ethan didn't mind it at all. Looking up, he had a stern and earnest expression on his face. "Liv, I spent some time with my aunt's family when I was young."Nikki Shaw is an old friend of the Olsons. When we were kids, we'd get together and play during banquets. That was all."When Olivia saw how serious he was, she felt a little embarrassed. "It's not like I'm suspecting you."Ethan took her hand. "I don't want you to feel the least bit uncomfortable because of people who don't matter. If you do feel that way, you have
Olivia had lost her memory, but she wasn't a fool. The corridor should be cleared beforehand. So, these journalists couldn't have appeared out of the blue.Also, the woman with exquisite makeup and elegant clothes wouldn't just trip in her high heels.It was obvious that she had gotten the journalists to lie in wait beforehand.The scheme was shallow but quite effective.But Olivia couldn't understand something. Ethan came from a good background, but he was only a slightly more respected employee. It didn't make sense for the woman to go to such lengths.Olivia wondered what Ethan would do about the woman's actions.Olivia realized that she didn't feel as bad as she had imagined. She was even watching Ethan's reaction calmly.A weak-looking woman had tripped. Anyone, not just men, would instinctively try to catch her.Ethan was on the phone at first. At that moment, the lights stretched out the shadow of his slender body. He was standing upright.Throughout the incident, his e
The hand extended toward Nikki was fair, but the palm wasn't too nice-looking. It was filled with visible scars.There was a saying that a woman's hand was just as important as her face.From the woman's hand, Nikki could see that Ethan shouldn't be that serious about her. From her calloused hand, she must regularly do lots of physical labor.Nikki extended her hand. She had been pampered since young, and she would insist on getting full-body care every week. Hence, her hands were very nice-looking.Her joints were balanced, and her fingers were slender. Her palms were pale and soft, and even her nails were taken care of flawlessly.The glitter on her manicure shimmered. She looked like a luxury item on display.After making the comparison, Nikki felt strongly superior.She was confident that she would win this round."Thank you." She didn't decline Olivia's kindness. As their palms touched, she wanted Olivia to realize the difference between them.She was the young lady of a
The atmosphere was a little awkward. After taking a deep breath, Nikki struck first."Back then, you said that you'd marry me. I didn't expect you to marry someone else just like that. When did you get married? You never told me about it."Those words were quite damaging. Olivia glanced at Ethan, waiting for him to explain.Ethan's gaze seemed to be layered with ice as he glared coldly at Nikki. "Ms. Shaw, we're neither friends nor relatives. I don't have a reason to inform you about my marriage."As for me saying that I'd marry you, are you referring to the time when we were kids? You guys forced me to play house with you, and you even threatened me."You said that if I rejected you, you'd go home and tell your parents about it."His words had shamed Nikki greatly. Nikki didn't realize how cold Ethan had gotten in all these years she hadn't seen him.But then Nikki remembered Lydia saying that Ethan had treated her like this too. So, she quickly got over it.By the looks of it
