Colin sent Olivia to her apartment. He had the innocence of a youth, but he also had the gentlemanly air of an older man.

He opened the car door for Olivia. Then, he wrapped the scarf he just purchased around Olivia’s neck.

“It’s okay, I’m not feeling cold,” Olivia said.

“This is a new scarf. You should keep yourself warm,” he explained.

“Alright. Take care on your way back. Thanks.”

Colin was still smiling. “The snacks tonight don’t count. You still owea proper meal, Olivia.”

“Oh, you.” Reaching out, Olivia caressed his head. “You’ve never changed since you were young.”

She once promised to give him a present back then. He remembered it and would keep asking her for the present from tto

time.

“Let’s meet up sometime.”

“Sure.”

Olivia watched as the car drove away. Then, she turned around and got into the elevator.

Colin was right. She shouldn’t be so pessimistic.

She looked at the snacks she was holding. She never thought that Colin still remembered her preferences after so many years.

Olivia and Colin got to know each other when they were young. Later on, Colin went overseas to study, but the two frequently chatted online.

“When did we becdistant from each other?” she wondered.

It was probably a few years ago when she started dating Ethan. She had given all her tto Ethan, so naturally, her relationship with Colin faded out.

She still remembered Colin as the little boy who was so scared of cats that he climbed up the tree at her house.

When Olivia thought of that innocent little face, she smiled.

Nights weren’t so bad, after all. The darker the night, the brighter the moon and stars would

She decided to take stoff to get her stomach checked. She was slowly regaining the will to live.

Upon opening the door to the house, Olivia tapped on the touchscreen to turn on the lights.

When she looked up, her smile froze.

A man was sitting on the couch with his legs slightly apart. His hands lay casually on the armrests, and he had the lazy attitude of a host.

Cigarette stubs filled the ashtray in front of him. He had been waiting for a long time.

“Why are you here, Mr. Miller?”

Ethan looked at her with a cold gaze. His voice was calm. “Where did you go?”

He looked like he was interrogating his wife who had cheated on him.

Olivia was sick of his antics. He was getting engaged to Marina, but he still refused to let go of her.

But she dared not go up against Ethan for now.

“I went to visit my dad with my childhood friend.”

Olivia took off her high heels, massaging her sore ankles. She placed the bags aside and then put on a pair of plush slippers.

Going to the bathroom, she removed her makeup. She treated Ethan like he wasn’t there.

She scooped up swater to wash her face. When she raised her head again, her face was clean.

Olivia’s face looked like it was painted. It was pretty and exquisite, but it lacked color. She looked a little sickly.

She looked at the pair of dark eyes that were reflected in the mirror. “Is there something else, Mr. Miller?”

Ethan scoffed. “Olivia, I never thought you were someone like this. If you need something from me, you’d callEthan. If not, you’d just callMr. Miller.”

Olivia dried her face with a towel before turning around. “Mr. Miller, I just went to the hospital with a kid. I didn’t break our promise. Why do you look like I’ve wronged you?”

“A kid? Have you forgotten what he tried to do to you on the cruise?”

“He was drugged by your fiancée back then. Instead of blaming him, you should ask your fiancée about it.”

Olivia wasn’t mad at first. But when the past was mentioned, she could barely hold in her anger.

The man in front of her walked closer to her, trapping her against the basin. With a dark look on his face, he said coldly, ” Olivia, why are you so dissatisfied?

“I was the one who caused Fordham Group to go bankrupt, but I’ve already invested in it so that it would be rebuilt. I hate your father, yes, but him being hospitalized isn’t my doing!”

Olivia replied, “I know.”

“You’re worried about the island, so I contributed funds to improve the islanders’ lives. I even handed the Fordham residence

to you.

“I’m not holding a grudge against those two kids, and I even helped them settle in. When you wanted to join the company, I let you in without another word.”

Ethan gripped her shoulders. “As promised, I don’t touch you without your permission. I told you, I can give you everything aside from the title of Mrs. Miller.

“What more do you want from me?”
