Olivia lowered her voice as she reached out to shove Ethan. "Stop fooling around."
In the snowy landscape, Ethan's drunken voice sounded extra suggestive. "Liv, I miss you. That old
man won't even let me in the house."
When he was speaking, he sounded extra wounded. Even though Olivia wasn't there at the scene, she
felt amused when she pictured the situation.
He was a powerful man, so he had never experienced such treatment before.
Standing on her tiptoes, Olivia gave him a peck on the cheek. "Alright, stop fooling around. I'll make it
up to you at night."
Unbeknownst to them, someone was standing nearby and had seen everything.
Erina was worried that her mother would be bullied by that bad man again, so she came out to look for
Marina.
She didn't expect to run into that sight.
For as long as she could remember, Ethan had always been a very cold man. He was even colder
when it came to Marina.
She had never seen him smile at Marina before. In the past few years, he never even once cared about
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarina.
Erina thought that it was just his personality. But now, he was holding the doctor in his arms, and he
was smiling with such affection.
Even Erina herself had never received such a smile from him.
Why?
He could smile so much at other women, but he refused to even spare a glance at Marina.
How could her father be someone like this?
Erina had always fantasized that one day, her dad might turn back and love her mom again.
But now, when she saw that scene, Erina realized that it was a dream that would never come true.
Olivia removed herself from Ethan's embrace, and the two quietly walked away.
When they went back to the dining room, they didn't see Erina there. Otto told them, "Erina went to look
for Marina. Didn't you run into her?"
Olivia's gaze flickered, and she understood something. She had already decided that it would be fine
even if her identity was exposed and known.
Thinking that those two wouldn't be done anytime soon, Olivia only took a few more bites before setting
down her cutlery. She then found an excuse and left.
A few minutes after Olivia left, Ethan was about to leave as well. However, Erina tugged at his sleeve.
"Dad, we haven't seen each other in so long. Why won't you spend more time with me?"
Ethan met the child's expectant gaze. Erina's face looked a lot like Marina's, but her eyes were
completely identical to her father's.
When Ethan looked at Erina, he felt like he was looking at Kurt. There was a sudden fleeting pain in his
heart. If Kurt were still alive, he would have loved Erina to bits.
In the past, when Ethan and Kurt had time, they would fantasize about the future. Kurt wanted a
daughter as pretty as Marina, and he said that he would pamper the child to no end.
Back then, Ethan kept joking that Marina might not be willing to get married to him.
The things they talked about had come true. In the end, Marina didn't get to marry Kurt, but she did
give birth to a daughter who looked like her.
In the past few years, because of Marina, Ethan became a little colder to Erina as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe children shouldn't be involved in the grudges between the adults. Ethan's heart softened for an
instant. "Alright, I'll spend some time with you."
"You're so awesome, Dad."
Erina immediately put on an overjoyed expression. Ethan felt his heart aching a little when he saw that.
Erina had grown up in an environment that lacked fatherly love. Now, she had developed a shy and
sensitive personality.
Ethan sighed. In the end, he stayed behind.
Even if he spent just an hour more with her, Erina would be elated.
Olivia waited outside the door for ten minutes. She thought that Ethan would appear within five
minutes.
Then, she received a message on her phone. Ethan told her to leave first, for he would stay behind and
spend some time with Erina.
Without another word, Olivia tossed her phone away. Stepping on the gas pedal, she sped away.
