Chapter 165
Ethan stopped in his tracks and looked at Olivia silently.
There was only the sound of water splashing from the shower.
As tense as the air was, the grasp around his wrist was tight.
“Don’t go,” she lied because that was the only thing she could say.
Ethan pinched her chin and commented indifferently, “You’re still pleading for him.”
Olivia felt like she was talking to a wall. No matter what she said, there was only one thing that
mattered to him–that she had betrayed and cheated on him.
“You’re the one who betrayed me!” she thought.
Frustration was gnawing at her, but she sighed when she thought about Tom and Jerry.

The water droplets slowly damped his white shirt, but he didn’t push her away.
She wrapped her arms around him carefully. The moment her lips pecked his neck, his body became
tense.
“Ethan, I didn’t betray you.” Her quivering voice was soft. It was teeming with sorrow and grievance.
He reciprocated the embrace and crashed her lips with his.
She frowned. It was their first intimacy after two years. It was the same embrace that she had yearned
for and relied on before this.
Yet, she was disgusted when she thought about how he had done it with Marina.
Right when she was going to push him away, his phone rang.
The ringtone indicated that it was a call from Marina.
Olivia sighed as she had never been this grateful to Marina before.
Ethan wanted to proceed, but the ringtone echoed against the walls again and again.
Irritated by the noise, he released her.
Impatiently, he answered the call. Marina said something that deepened his frown.
In the end, he hung up the call with an agitated face.
Helplessly, he put on a robe around him. “I gotta go out. Stay here and wait for me.”
A wave of relief washed over Olivia.
Noticing her joy, Ethan added sternly, “Do not go anywhere.”
Once he was gone in a hurry, her body slowly relaxed.

It was fortunate that he didn’t proceed to the final stage.
The man she was once deeply in love with now disgusted her.
Olivia took a few pumps of body shampoo.
In the bubble–filled bathtub, she began rubbing and cleaning every part of her body that he had
touched.
The warm water covered her body. Olivia looked into the blurry mirror, staring at her vague silhouette.
She asked herself in her head, “Even if I’m able to escape his torture today, will I be able to do the
same tomorrow?” Ethan was more despicable than before.
Previously, although he gave her the cold treatment due to resentment, she had freedom.
Yet, now, he had fettered her body and mentality.
When her skin was showing tinges of red due to the long bath, she stood up.
Since there was no other way out, she had to step forward bravely.
She contacted Calvin. “Calvin, have you found anything?”
