Ethan noticed that Olivia had calmed down a lot. He would never forget the intense scene back then
when Olivia wanted to perish together with Leia.
"Alright."
Now, he couldn't quite understand Olivia. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Ethan skillfully cleaned the fish. He was thinking about the matter with Leia, so he was a little
distracted. Hence, he accidentally poked his hand with a fish bone.
He didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned as he continued washing his hands.
"Let me do it. You look quite distracted."
Ethan hadn't met his sister in a long time. In reality, even if he spent every day with Leia, there were too
many grudges between them. They couldn't return to what they once were in the past.
No matter how he interrogated her, Leia never revealed anything useful.
She was his sister, after all. He couldn't possibly kill Leia for real.
Janice felt guilty about her daughter, so she had been taking care of Leia all these years. If Janice had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcovered up for Leia on purpose, Leia could very well have hidden the truth.
"Sorry." Ethan hastily left the kitchen and dialed that person's number.
Janice sounded a little lazy. "What is it?"
Ever since she recovered her wits, she spent every day listlessly lazing about. She was no longer crazy
about that man.
"Where's Leia?"
"She went to sleep," Janice replied quickly.
In the past, every time Ethan asked about Leia, Janice would immediately give him an answer. He
should have suspected something earlier.
"Mom, are you going to lie to me forever?"
Janice straightened herself. She didn't have to pretend anymore. "You knew?"
Ethan had a dark look on his face. "Do you remember your promise to me?"
"Ethan, she's my daughter."
He closed his eyes. "I'm your son, and Liv is your daughter-in-law. Mom, how could you?"
Ethan tasted something sour in his throat. In the past, he had forced Olivia on the path of no return
because of his sister. After so many years, he had finally reaped the bitter fruit he sowed.
"Do you know how long I had to take to win Liv's trust again? Do you know how much effort I spent on
it? What will she think of me? Why are you forcing your misfortune on us?"
Janice sighed. "Ethan, my greatest wish right now is for you and Leia to be happy. You're both dear to
me. But I already owe her so much. I..."
"So you're selling off my happiness just to make up for your regrets?"
After the call ended, Ethan leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.
The sky had completely turned dark by then. He had no idea what Olivia would think of him.
Back then, he had injured Olivia's hand because of Leia. Olivia would think that Ethan had done it on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpurpose and that in the end, he still couldn't bear to be cruel to his sister.
He didn't dress his wound, so blood trailed along his wrist and dripped down onto the snow. It formed a
small red puddle.
He let out a misty breath, which floated in the cold air.
The yard was brightly lit. Zack and Alicia were having a snowball fight, and their laughter resounded in
the yard.
He had painstakingly obtained this shard of happiness. Was it going to be ruined by someone else
again?
"It's so cold outside. Why didn't you come in?"
Olivia's gentle voice sounded. At a glance, she spotted the man who was leaning against the wall and
smoking.
There was a layer of snow covering him, and his face was surrounded by smoke. He looked extra sad
and sullen.
Ethan hastily put out the cigarette. "I—"
But Olivia simply took a step forward and embraced him. "I know what you're thinking. I trust you."
