Olivia shut her eyes. She was prepared for the slap, but the expected pain never came.

By the tshe opened her eyes, he walked away while holding the gray suit she had chosen.

He slammed the door shut with a loud thud, leaving her alone in the room.

She slid onto the floor as her knees becweak.

A moment ago, she was so livid that she didn’t realize she was sweating.

Her body was trembling, too. But she didn’t know if it was out of anger or fear.

Ethan’s gaze was so frightening that she thought she was never going to make it until tomorrow.

It was her first treprimanding him ever since they got together. She bet she was the first person to do that to him.

She patted her chest. Her racing heartbeat wasn’t able to calm down until now.

A few minutes later, Madam Burgess rushed into the bedroom.

Looking at Olivia’s pale face, Madam Burgess sighed. “Mrs. Miller, what did you do? I’ve never seen Mr. Miller this angry before.”

Olivia finally regained her composure. She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled. “Nothing. It’s just a fight.”

Madam Burgess was upset by the answer. She seated herself next to Olivia.

“Mrs. Miller, although he has another woman, I don’t think he has feelings for that vixen.

“Previously, when you were not around, he returned to the Miller residence every day.

“Take the recent incident, for instance. When you and the Young Master went missing, he couldn’t sleep nor eat well.

“He fell sick for a long time. His complexion finally regained its color these days.”

Madam Burgess placed her hands on Olivia’s shoulders. “Please bear with my nagging. I watched Mr. Miller grow up.

“You’re the only woman he brought home. The feelings he has for you aren’t the sas for others.

“He deserves a punishment for his wrongdoings, but you should consider his genuine feelings.”

Olivia thought of Ethan’s face and sneered. “Genuine feelings? Those feelings are too burdensfor me.”

“Mrs. Miller-”

“Enough, Madam Burgess. I know what I’m doing.” Olivia didn’t want to hear Madam Burgess say good words for him.

Madam Burgess sighed deeply. “Mrs. Miller, I’m saying this for your sake. It’s not like you don’t know his character.

“If you don’t compromise, you will eventually be the one at a loss.”

Olivia was stunned for a second. She didn’t like what Madam Burgess said, but they were true.

Madam Burgess added, “I can tell that he’s never going to let you go after what has happened.

“If you’re going to keep your relationship with him rigid, that vixen is going to benefit from it.

“Mrs. Miller, you still have a long way ahead of you. If you’re left with no choice, why not make your life easier?

“Right now, the route you’ve chosen is making both you and him suffer.”

Olivia thought of the incident on the island and the matter she had yet to finish investigating.

If Ethan was going to confine her forever, it would be a dead–end for her.

“I understood, Madam Burgess,” Olivia said.

“Good. Men are easy to please. They’re like kids. Please don’t let that vixen take advantage of your situation, Mrs. Miller.”

Olivia was still holding Ethan’s box. Last night, she figured that she needed to talk to him.

But the fight this morning had put her plans on hold.

That afternoon, Olivia cacross an article online.

The delayed engagement ceremony between the Millers and the Carltons was going to be held at the end of the month.

There was a picture of Ethan and Marina.

He was wearing a stoic face in a gray suit while Marina held onto his arm with a sweet smile.

The gray suit was the one Olivia picked for him.

They seemed to be a match made in heaven.

Olivia felt like her old scars were being reopened painfully.
