Chapter 944
Olivia washed her hands and walked out of the dissecting room. The two children went up to her.
"Mom, Mister ..."
"I know. Go play."
There was a hint of worry in Olivia's eyes. She felt like Henry’s appearance wasn't a coincidence.
Since her departure, Ethan never showed up again. There wasn't any news of him either. As it drew closer to the
day they were to leave the island, the unease she felt grew.
Ethan was only willing to let her go because she was on this island. But she was still right under his nose.
He would never let her leave if he knew she was going off on her own.
Olivia's gaze fell on the door to Everly's room. She didn't know if Henry would take Everly away. If Everly went back
with Henry, her life would be even worse than what Olivia had been through.
At least Ethan loved her and only her despite everything he did. Henry was different. Everly was just a toy to him.

be an illegitimate child.
If Henry ever got tired of her, she would be abandoned.
Olivia had been through too much. She didn't want Everly to suffer like she did. She was determined to take Everly
away no matter what happened.
Henry pulled Everly away forcefully.
Everly asked coldly, "Why did you come?"
Henry didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked," Where's your room? We'll talk in your room."
Everly pointed in the direction of her room with her chin. Then, Henry pulled her by her hand into the room.
"Why do you have to-"
As soon as the door was shut, Henry leaned in and kissed her.
"I missed you, woman."
Everly was shocked. She thought Henry came all the way here because he had important business. She had been
thinking about the contracts she handled and wondered if anything was wrong with them.
Or else, Henry wouldn't have traveled so far.
Only one thought crossed her mind when Henry kissed her. This man must be mad.
"Let me go!"
She exerted a lot of force to push him away. It has been quite some time since her miscarriage, and she could have
sex again. But just because her body had recovered didn't mean she had gotten over the mental trauma.
Why was Henry being so persistent?
Henry was displeased when she pushed him away. But her miscarriage was still in his mind, so he was more gentle
toward her.
"I'm sorry. I haven't seen you for some time, and I missed you."
Henry sat down casually with his legs slightly apart. Then, he beckoned at her. "Come here."
"What are you trying to ..."
Henry pulled her onto his lap and took a jewelry box out of the pocket of his suit.

Everly didn't move, so Henry opened it for her. There was a pink diamond ring in the box.
"Didn't you say you liked this designer's work last year? I had to wait six months before this was completed. I
wanted to give it to you later, during our second anniversary.
"But I couldn't help but bring it straight to you as soon as I received it. Try and see if it fits."
As he was talking, he wanted to put the ring on her. The pink diamond was very pretty, giving off a dazzling glow. It
was a work of art.
Everly loved money. Initially, she didn't think too much about it. Henry wanted her body, and vice versa. She
thought she was getting older and had nothing to lose by sleeping with Henry. She stood to gain so much too.
They both got what they wanted. It was good. She didn't want to invest any feelings into this relationship.
She never expected to fall in love with Henry and started wanting more from him. She didn't want a ring. She
wanted a title.
That was something he could never give her.
She removed the ring and said, "Let's end this relationship."ab
