Ethan seemed to have guessed that she would be coming over, so he stood under the streetlights.
That way, she would be able to spot the white snow on his figure right away.
If her heart ached for him, she would come downstairs.
Olivia was in her bathrobe, holding the gift he had sent her as she looked down at him.
Right after that, she lowered her head and typed something on her phone. Then, she raised her phone
and waved it, gesturing for Ethan to check his phone.
Ethan lowered his gaze, thinking that Olivia did indeed care about him.
But when he unlocked his phone, the smile froze on his face.
"Thanks for the gift. The roads might be slippery in this weather, so take care on your way home."
Seeing that Ethan had checked his phone, Olivia turned around and went back to her room. She even
drew the curtains, firmly blocking her figure from view.
In his exasperation, Ethan smiled bitterly. He remembered when she was still in school and she came
out in her pajamas despite the snow, she had thrown herself into his arms.

His Liv had changed. He was no longer her priority.
Of course, Olivia was aware of his thoughts. He was just trying to make himself look a little pitiful.
She arranged the bunnies neatly on the bedside table. She had accepted the gift, but she didn't forgive
him.
Their current relationship was probably the best for both of them.
Olivia slept soundly through the night. When she woke up and drew the curtains, she saw the maids
shoveling the snow in the yard. It had snowed heavily overnight.
As Olivia opened the door, the cold air rushed up to her face.
"Ms. Olivia." The maids along the way smiled as they greeted her.
Many of them were holding string lights in their hands. New Year's was just around the corner, so it was
about time they set up the atmosphere.
The festivities this year were sure to be bustling. Olivia was in a good mood when she thought about
meeting her children soon.
Taking out her car keys, she was about to get her car when she spotted the black Bentley quietly
parked at the side of the road.
After an entire night, thick snow had piled up on the car.
Olivia felt a little worried. Had that crazy Ethan been here all night?
Wiping away the snow on the glass with her gloves, she saw the man in the driver's seat. His eyes
were tightly closed, and his thick eyelashes had covered his profound eyes.
"Ethan." She knocked on the glass of the car window.
Fortunately, the man quickly opened his eyes. Opening the door, he swiftly pulled her into his embrace.
He had moved the seat back, but it still felt quite squished with the two of them in one seat.
Olivia supported her hands against his chest, barely maintaining her balance as she frowned. "What
are you doing? Do you think that I'll give in if you suffer a little?"
Reaching out, Ethan hugged her tighter. "I didn't mean it like that, Liv. I just wanted to see you first thing

Olivia examined his expression. She had no idea if he meant it or not.
"Liv, were you mad because I stood you up last night? I'm sorry. I was reminded of Erina's father when I
saw her. I'm indebted to Kurt."
Olivia said calmly, "Your debt to Kurt is your business, and you can make it up to his family however
you wish. Similarly, I have the right to make a choice.
"I admit that even if she's just a child, I'll still be mad about it. Connor was separated from me right after
he was born, and the other children were separated from you.
"You feel bad for Erina because she lacks a father's love, but have you ever thought about our
children? They're also growing up without their parents around!
"Ethan, it's true that I love you, but I also hate you. I hate you for being cold and cruel in the past, and
you've slowly turned our happy family into what it is now!
"The love I have isn't enough to erase the hatred I have toward you. Your tactics to woo me are
despicable at best."
With that, Olivia broke free from his embrace and slammed the door on her way out.
