Olivia was surprised. She didn’t expect Ethan to cto fetch her.

Although she had entrusted everything to Jack, she was still nervous when she got in the car.

She felt like Ethan would be able to see through her right away.

After they got in the car, Ethan asked something he had never asked before.

“Did you have fun?”

“It was okay. It was a little scary. Tom was so scared he sobbed.”

Her expression was calm even though her words were cheery.

Ethan calmly withdrew his gaze from her face. He had thought that she would becher old cheerful self if he allowed her to spend twith the boy.

Their relationship wasn’t the only thing that couldn’t go back to the way it was. The sapplied to Olivia herself.

In the past, when they were sitting together, she would hold his hands and keep talking. It was like her mouth didn’t need rest at all.

Unlike now, she sat properly. Her fingers were holding onto the armrest. Her eyes were looking out the window.

She only spoke up to answer his question. When they didn’t speak, it was as if there was a mountain between them.

No one spoke another word on the ride back home. The atmosphere was suffocating.

Olivia could feel Ethan’s gaze on her. Her heart was beating fast. She was wondering if he had found out that she ran off.

After all, he had warned her last night.

He was willing to help develop the island and ensure the living standards on the island were acceptable.

He had only one condition: that she stop seeing Jack.

She had sworn to do that not long ago. She went back on her word the very next day.

She wondered what he was thinking about.

He didn’t speak. His gaze was like a sharp knife that was cutting her up.

Olivia sighed in relief when they reached the Miller residence, and he didn’t confront her.

Olivia felt a pain in her wrist. Ethan pulled her toward him.

She fell into his embrace. Her palms were pushing against his chest weakly.

She looked up at him in confusion. There was a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.

“What?”

Ethan frowned and said in a low voice, “Olivia, I said I’m going to the Carltons for dinner.”

Olivia nodded and said, “I know that. Don’t worry. I won’t bother you with calls asking you to come back.”

She recalled how she used to be. She developed severe mental issues due to feelings of anxiety.

She would bombard him with calls if he didn’t get hby 6:00 pm.

Her calls would annoy him so much that he would turn off his phone.

Then, she would reheat the food a few times. She would also pace around the house nervously.

She found that version of herself quite detestable.

It wasn’t just Ethan. Even she herself felt disgusted when thinking about it.

She was still Mrs. Miller back then.

Now, she had already cto terms with her position. Naturally, she would not stand in Ethan’s way anymore.

In the past, she felt like even the air was holding her captive. She often felt like she was suffocating.

But now that she didn’t care for him as much, she felt like she had regained freedom.

Ethan was the one who was uncomfortable now. There was a twhen she was so tense that she wouldn’t allow him to

socialize normally with others.

Whenever she heard that he was going out to eat, she would grab his hand with an anxious expression and beg him to keep her

company.

But now, she looked like she didn’t care at all. Her face was completely calm.

He tightened his grip on her wrist unknowingly. The pain caused Olivia to frown.

“It hurts! What are you doing? I’m not stopping you,” Olivia said in an annoyed tone. Ethan said in a deep voice, “Are you not going to care even if I sleep elsewhere?”
