Linus was furious as he raised an eyebrow. "You're not even bothered to put on an act anymore?"
Opening the car door, Ethan plucked Olivia off the snowy ground and pulled her into his embrace.
"Since I can't hide it anyway, why should I put on any acts?"
If Ethan had complete control over the Heath family, the whole world might as well be under his
command. But perhaps even before that happened, Mason would have beaten him into a pulp.
Mason didn't mind him too much, so he behaved himself.
"If Liv refuses to return to the Miller family with me, I don't mind marrying into the Heath family."
Linus stared at Ethan, who gave off the impression of a large and loving dog.
Not long ago, the Heath family used every trick in the book to try and turn Ethan into their son-in-law.
But now, Ethan was even willing to marry into the family.
Sometimes, life was just too crazy.
Linus commented, "In your dreams. Our home isn't a place where you can come and go as you wish."
"It doesn't matter whether you allow it or not; I'm coming in either way."
Sensing the tension between the two, Olivia hastily interrupted, "You said just now that we're going to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMound Village, right? Why is that?"
"Krystal's paternal grandmother lives in the suburbs of Aldenvine, whereas her maternal grandmother
lives in a rural fishing village. If you want to hide the child, where would you place them?"
"Mound Village?"
"Bingo. Also, my men found out that she had raised a girl before."
Even though Olivia didn't ask for it, Ethan had helped her ask around in secret. He had fully appealed
to Olivia.
Linus snorted. "You're just grandstanding."
They hurried over to Mound Village.
The small village was in a remote area, and there wasn't much room for development. The tar road
only reached the entrance of the village.
Inside the village, relatively old buildings and bumpy roads could be seen.
The ride was extremely bumpy, and Olivia's body was raised off the seat on a few occasions.
Ethan tried his best to hold her down. Olivia almost threw up because of the bumpy ride, so she asked
for the car to stop while she got out and walked.
The small fishing village looked quite desolate in winter. Thick ice covered the roads, and the sea
breeze carried the salty smell of the ocean with it.
Olivia stopped in her tracks. Looking in the direction she was gazing, Ethan noticed some purple
flowers blooming on a cliff by the sea.
"What's the matter, Liv?"
Olivia shifted her gaze away from the flowers. "I'm just curious. I didn't expect to see purple ivies in a
place like this."
"True, they're quite rare. Are they edible?"
"The flowers and leaves can be turned into poison after they're dried, but the vines are poisonous.
"Purple ivies are quite picky about their environment, so for now, they still can't be cultivated artificially.
They only appear on cliffs."
Ethan asked, "Do you want them?"
Olivia shook her head. "No. Come on, we should be arriving soon."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA car horn sounded in their ears. Turning around, they saw a Bentley behind them. They found it odd
that an expensive car would appear in a place like this.
When they were looking at the license plate number, a car window was lowered to reveal Yale's
handsome yet fatigued face. His gaze fell upon Olivia's and Ethan's faces. "What brings you here?"
Ethan crossed his arms. "I should be the one asking you that. Aren't you busy trying to sue Krystal?
Why are you here?"
Yale snorted. "Mind your business."
With that, he closed the window and said coldly, "Speed up!"
"But there's a puddle in front of us."
"Just go."
When the car sped by, the water in the puddle was splashed onto Ethan's body. Stretching out his
arms, Ethan shielded Olivia by hugging her.
After the car left, Ethan picked up a pebble and hurled it at Yale's car. "Is he out of his mind?"
Olivia was exasperated. "You're not any better."
