Connor was still receiving training out there, and Ethan was separated from his other three children.
This was a decision Olivia had made back then to draw boundaries between herself and Ethan.
To protect the children, she didn't even tell Ethan where the children were studying.
Even though Ethan had a reason, when Olivia thought about him going so far for someone else's child,
she still felt upset about it.
Gripping the steering wheel, Olivia quietly told herself not to hold a grudge against a child. But she
couldn't stop her mind from thinking.
She sped all the way back to the Heath residence.
Meanwhile, in the Carlton residence, Marina's body was pinned against the cold mirror as she endured
Fabian's outrage. About a dozen minutes later, Fabian finally stopped in haste.
Seeing that he didn't take any preventive measures, Marina bit his shoulder viciously. "You jerk! How
dare you do that!"
Fabian had a crazed look on his face. "I want you to have my child!"
"In your dreams!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarina glared at him in hatred. "I hate you to the core. I'd rather die than get pregnant with your child."
Reaching out, Fabian pinched her chin as he said, "You can only be mine for the rest of your life! I
won't let you leave."
Marina had no idea how she managed to encounter such a maniacal man. She had no one to help her
either.
She was a proud woman, so she didn't dare to tell Otto about this. After all, Otto was already nearing
the end of his life. If he learned of this incident, he might just drop dead.
Marina had lost her parents, so Otto was the only elder in the family who loved her. She didn't want to
see her family leave her again.
So, no matter how Fabian humiliated her, she could only endure it.
The recovery of her leg became her only hope. She was enduring everything for the sake of tomorrow.
As soon as she could walk, she could completely escape Fabian's control.
As Marina gazed at the dark night outside, she silently told herself to persevere a little longer. Dawn
would be breaking soon.
When she went back to the room, she saw Ethan playing with Erina. They were building a huge fox out
of building blocks.
Unlike her usual gloomy and low-profile behavior, Erina was now extra active and cheerful. Her face
was filled with smiles.
"You're amazing, Dad! Yes, put that block here."
When Marina saw that scene, her eyes stung. If she hadn't done what she did in the past, which
pushed him further away from her, Ethan would have married her because of Kurt's death.
Now, she regretted it deeply.
"Mom, Dad is amazing. He managed to build so many things in such a short time. Do you—" Erina
looked smilingly at Marina, but when she saw Fabian, who was behind the wheelchair, she stopped
smiling.
She had learned of Fabian's deeds toward Marina a year ago. Back then, she had already had a vague
grasp of what the two were doing.
After that, she insisted on telling Otto about it, but Marina cried and told her not to do it. So, Erina could
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmonly hold it in. She was instinctively afraid of Fabian.
Seeing that they were back, Ethan put down the blocks in his hands and got up. "It's getting late. I'll be
going back now."
His gaze fell upon Marina's slightly haggard face. Her eyes were a little red, so she must have cried
just now.
But what did that have to do with him?
Kurt was already dead, and he couldn't tell Marina to be a widow all her life.
This time, Ethan didn't listen to Erina as he strode away. Fabian had a gentle smile on his face as he
said, "I won't be seeing you off, Mr. Miller. The roads might be slippery in this cold weather, so take
care."
Ethan glanced at him. He didn't say anything in response as he turned around and left.
In a way, Fabian looked very much like Yale in the past. They were skilled at masking themselves, and
Ethan hated dealing with people like them.
Seeing that Ethan was leaving, Fabian even added, "Don't worry, Mr. Miller. I'll take good care of
Marina."
"That's good to hear." Ethan didn't even look back.
