Ch. 451..460

Even After Death Chapter 451-Standing behind Olivia, Mona noticed that Olivia had been hesitating for a long while. There was a puzzled expression on her face as she asked, “Ms.

Fordham, are the clothes not nice enough?” “No, they all look very nice. I’m just feeling a little sad.” Mona didn’t know about the history between Olivia and Ethan. So, she couldn’t understand what the sadness meant.

“Choose one for me.” Olivia decisively looked away.

She was too used to wearing cheap clothes, so she only felt at a loss when faced with those luxurious outfits.

Standing in front of the wardrobe, Mona picked out the clothes as she muttered, “Ms. Fordham, you have a good figure, and you’re good-looking, too. You even have fair skin.

“You’re just like a model, so you’d look good even if you’re wearing a sack.” She selected a white dress. It had an elegant design and was well-tailored, too.

It looked graceful in every aspect.

“This one, then. I think it suits you very much, Ms. Fordham.” Olivia put on the white dress. Smiling, Mona said, “Look how fitting it is! Ms.

Fordham, everyone can tell from a glance that you’re a pampered young lady from a rich family.

“No one else has the noble demeanor you own.” וו “Young lady?” Olivia reached out her left palm. There were lots of calluses on her fair skin.

In the year she lost her child, Ethan cut off all her sources of income just to torture her.

The Fordhams went bankrupt. Jeff was also hospitalized, so Olivia had to pay high hospital bills every day.

Back then, she had abandoned her studies to be a housewife.

She used to be a star student in medical school, favored by the supervisor. But then, she ended up having to do physical labor.

The pampered princess finally learned what worldly suffering meant.

Her fair and tender hands, which used to dance on the piano keys, were now covered in calluses and scars.

Also, she was busy working in winter. She had frostbite on the back of her hands, and they were red and swollen.

She quit the part-time jobs in the past six months, so her hands healed a little.

Still, the shadows of Chapter 451 her past suffering were visible.

When Mona saw Olivia’s slightly rough hands, she was even more puzzled.

2/2 “Ms. Fordham, you should’ve been a pampered young lady before the Fordhams went bankrupt. Have you done rough work before?” Olivia smiled bitterly. “Yes, and not just once.” Under Mona’s sympathetic gaze, Olivia interrupted what Mona was about to ask. “Help me brush my hair. I can’t do it with my hands.” “Understood.” Picking up the brush, Mona changed the subject.

“Look at the bright side, Ms. Fordham. Even though Mr. Miller is about to marry Ms. Carlton, his heart still belongs to you. Anyone can see that.” Olivia didn’t want to humor any conversations about Ethan. Hence, Mona shut up as she braided Olivia’s hair.

“If you grow your hair a little longer, Ms. Fordham, you’ll look even prettier.” Her hair had grown out quite a lot in the past six months, but it barely reached her shoulders.

With her hair tucked behind her head, she looked gentle and elegant.

Olivia didn’t want to doll herself up, so Mona chose a pair of delicate pearl earrings for her.

“You look pretty even without makeup, Ms. Fordham. Mr. Miller was lucky to have married you in the past.” Olivia looked at herself in the mirror. The tender look was gone from her face, and her chin was a little sharper now.

There was no more liveliness in her features, and a slight sorrowful look could be seen on her face.

In the past, she was half a girl and half a woman. But now, she had turned into a whole woman.

She was just a woman who had a failed marriage.

Crouching next to Olivia, Mona smiled as she looked at Olivia.

“I’m supposed to be a little older than you, so why do you always look so grave?

You’re so pretty; you’d look even prettier if you smile.” The word “smile” echoed in Olivia’s mind.

She realized that she hadn’t smiled sincerely in a long time. She even seemed to have forgotten the simple movement of curving her lips.

Her reflection in the mirror looked so familiar. But she also felt like she couldn’t recognize herself.

459560

Even After Death Chapter 452-Mona was a kind-hearted woman. Even though she didn’t come from a rich family, she was always positive and hardworking.

Olivia saw shadows of her past self in Mona. She was like the sun, and she lived every day cheerfully. It was as if she would never be defeated by anything.

“Just curve your lips a little, like me. When you’re in a good mood, your baby will be happy too.” It might be due to Mona’s warm smile or the mention of the child, which had struck the softest chord in Olivia’s heart.

Olivia placed her palm on her tummy, the corners of her mouth subconsciously turning up.

At that moment, sunlight shone on her face.

Olivia, who was filled with a mother’s love, was indescribably beautiful.

“I told you you look great when you smile. Ms. Fordham, you’re the most exquisite person I’ve ever met. If you join the entertainment industry, you’ll be super successful.” Olivia shook her head in exasperation. In the past, her dream was to be a doctor.

If her future… She couldn’t see any future for herself.

Her only hope was to give birth to this child without any problems. She didn’t dare hope for too much.

If she was too greedy, even the things she owned right now would be taken away.

Olivia was afraid to lose anything, so she had become timid. She didn’t even dare to think about it.

Olivia got up to leave.

If it weren’t for her palm, which fell unnaturally to her side, she would be flawlessly beautiful.

Mona followed Olivia to the car. With a face full of smiles, she said, “Enjoy the trip. Don’t worry too much.” Getting out of the car, Ethan opened the door of the passenger seat for Olivia.

He helped her into the car and even thoughtfully put on her seatbelt for her.

Back when they were on good terms with each other, she always looked forward to when Ethan set. aside a day for her.

She would prepare for a camping trip beforehand. Then, over the weekend, they would camp somewhere in the suburbs.

When Ethan was with her, he was very kind and good-tempered. He would unconditionally fulfill every request she had.

Chapter 452 2/2 They would set up camp by a creek. Then, he would do the fishing, whereas she was in charge of the barbecue.

At night, when the stars came out, she would lean in his arms, counting the stars with him.

She never asked for any material things. As long as he took some time to be with her, she would be elated.

Back then, Olivia was always smiling. Her eyes curved when she smiled, and she looked cheerful and adorable, like a little fox.

He was a composed man, and he was also a few years older than her. Because he had lost his younger sister at a young age, among other reasons, he turned into a man who rarely smiled.

It was only when he was around Olivia that he could smile without worry.

But the good times were never coming back. Now, as the two sat in the same car, Olivia only kept her gaze straight ahead.

Gripping the seatbelt with her hand, she refused to even spare a glance at Ethan.

The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it was scary.

Ethan coughed lightly, breaking the silence. “I bought some desserts when I was on my way back. If you’re hungry, you can have some.” Olivia glanced at the exquisite cakes placed by her side. He had even prepared the fruit tea she liked.

“I’m not hungry,” she said in a cold voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard her stomach rumbling.

Olivia fell silent.

In reality, she had just thrown up before setting out. Now, her stomach was empty, so of course, it was growling.

Ethan chuckled. “You’ve never changed. Stop being stubborn, and feel free to eat more.” Olivia’s already cold expression turned even colder. She spoke to Ethan with indifference.

“Ethan, did you think that our relationship could be like before again?

“When you made me angry back then, I threw a tantrum so you could appease me with only a few words. Is that what you think it is?” In the few days after she came back, they had never breached this topic. But now, Olivia got to it straight away.

“Things were over between us a long time ago. You can trap me for now, but you can’t bind me forever.

“We’ll never be together again.

459561

Even After Death Chapter 453-Olivia’s voice was firm and decisive.

It was obvious that she no longer had any love for him; she only harbored hatred.

“I know.” If Olivia had spoken those words in the past, Ethan would be furious.

But now, there wasn’t even a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He only felt remorse.

“As long as I’m alive, I’ll be thinking of ways to exact revenge.

“Ethan, stop wasting your time and effort. You’re one of my enemies as well.” “Liv, I only want to treat you well.” While they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, he held the fruit tea to her mouth.

“It’s sweet and sour. The taste is quite nice.” Unable to withstand the temptation, Olivia took a sip. After getting pregnant, she was fond of sweet and sour foods.

Oranges and passion fruits were her favorites. If paired with limes and grapefruits, the refreshing taste would be heavenly.

She couldn’t get enough of it with just a sip. Holding the cup, she continued drinking.

The sweet and sour taste eased the nausea in her stomach, and she felt much better.

The sad look on Ethan’s face gradually disappeared as well. He brought Olivia to a restaurant they used to frequent.

“Aren’t we going to the concert?” “It’s still early. Aren’t you hungry?” Lowering his gaze, he looked gently at her.

“No,” Olivia said stubbornly.

Ethan wasn’t mad about it. He put on a faint smile. “Then keep me company while I eat.” With that, he extended his hand. He wanted to take her hand like he used to.

But he only felt Olivia’s limp hand on his palm. He froze.

For a moment, he forgot that Olivia’s hand had turned out like this because of him.

A look of guilt appeared in his eyes.

Olivia put on a mocking smile. “See that? Do you still think we can go back to who we were?” Ethan left with her hand in his.

Chapter 453 2/3 He didn’t say another word on their way there. But when they entered the elevator, he would step in front of Olivia so no one else could see her.

They went to Olivia’s favorite spot in the past.

From the high altitude, they could see most of the city and even the coastline in the distance.

The lit windows in the city looked like stars that had descended upon the earth.

They looked wonderful.

But Olivia wasn’t in the mood to admire the view. Lowering her head, she ate some light food.

She was guarding against the nauseousness, but her stomach had decided to be nice to her this time.

She didn’t feel nauseous at all.

Olivia finally noticed that most of the food tonight had a tangy flavor.

There was not an oily dish in sight.

Even for the main course, Ethan had chosen pasta instead of steak.

The waiter served the wine they loved in the past. Ethan spoke up. “Some lime juice for her, please.” Olivia stared at him with suspicion.

Ethan explained calmly. “I heard that you have had digestion problems recently.

So, you can’t consume anything spicy or stimulating.” “That’s right.” As Olivia ate the fruit pizza, she couldn’t help but wonder if he knew about her pregnancy.

If he did, then it wouldn’t make sense for him to stay quiet about it.

Olivia felt that the man in front of her was hiding even more than before.

She couldn’t fathom his thoughts at all.

Ethan was very gentlemanly that night. He not only finished dinner with her, but he also kept her company throughout the concert.

But Olivia was so sleepy that she began nodding off before the concert ended.

When her head leaned against Ethan’s shoulder, Ethan was stunned. He then angled his body to look at Olivia’s peaceful face.

He wondered when was the last time she touched him of her own accord.

He didn’t budge, fearing that he might wake Olivia up.

When Olivia woke up, she realized that she wasn’t in the Manor of Roses, nor was she at the concert venue.

Chapter 453 Turning around to look, she found herself sleeping on an airbed.

Getting off the bed, she emerged from the tent and spotted Ethan nearby. He was crouching and catching fireflies.

459562

Even After Death Chapter 454-As the weather turned warmer, the fireflies were also becoming more active.

Their glow dotted the silent night.

A cool breeze blew past, and Olivia sneezed.

It was only then that Ethan straightened up.

He walked toward her with a glass bottle in his hand.

He must have been catching the fireflies for a while now. There were around a dozen fireflies in the glass bottle.

It wasn’t as magnificent as the one on the island, but the blinking lights in the bottle were still quite pretty.

“Are you hungry?” Ethan naturally passed the bottle to her, but Olivia didn’t take it.

He casually hung it on the tent. Then, he took off his coat and draped it over Olivia’s body.

“It’s getting warmer, but it’s still cold in the mountains.

“You didn’t eat much for dinner, so you must be hungry. Look what I prepared for Olivia looked at him and frowned. “Why did you bring me to a place like this?” Taking her hand, Ethan led her to the roll-up table.

you.” “There may be an Aquarid meteor shower tonight. I remember you saying that you wanted to wait for a meteor shower.” In the past, her heart was filled with dreamy things, and she loved everything wonderful.

Back then, Olivia dreamed about waiting for the meteor shower with her beloved.

She thought that it would be the happiest time of her life.

But Ethan was very busy back then, so he kept putting it off.

Olivia would smile and say, “It’s okay. We have all the time in the world. I can wait. It’s not urgent, anyway.” But no one expected life to be filled with uncertainties.

The “all the time in the world” she spoke of only lasted a few years.

Fresh ingredients were laid out on the roll-up table, and the barbecue grill was lit.

String lights in the shapes of stars and moons were hung across the canopy.

Everything was extremely beautiful.

Chapter 454 2/3 It was the camping trip she longed for.

She would feast on barbecue in the dark outdoors as she watched stars falling from the sky.

He never forgot about it.

Olivia stood under the lights. There was no expression of joy on her exquisite face.

Instead, she stared coldly at Ethan as she spoke in a faint voice.

“18-year-old Olivia wanted to watch a meteor shower with her beloved.

“Do you know what 21-year-old me wants to do?” Ethan pursed his thin lips. “I do. You want to get revenge.” Olivia stared at the handsome face.

Η In the past, her heart would skip a beat when she glanced at him. But now, she only had complicated feelings in her heart.

She felt regret and hatred.

But there was no love in her heart.

“No, if there truly is a meteor shower, I want to make a wish.” Olivia took a step forward. In her flats, she stood on tiptoe as she leaned in to speak in Ethan’s ear.

She said, “I wish I never meet you again until the day I die.” If she hated him, she would still want to get back at him. But she didn’t want to get involved with this man any longer.

Ethan held his breath. He parted his lips, hesitating.

In the end, he said, “Do you hate me that much?” “Yes, I only feel hate and disgust toward you.” A gust of wind blew past, causing the lights on the tent to sway.

The dull yellow glow quivered.

“Remember how much you hated me in those two years? That’s how much I hate you now.

“This feeling is only going to get stronger.

“Ethan, there is betrayal, deceit, hatred, and regret between us. But there will never be love.

“I feel disgusted every time I see your face.” As Olivia’s voice reached his ears, Ethan felt his body tremble.

He realized how Olivia had felt when he hurt her back then.

Chapter 454 Every word was like a sharp blade There wasn’t any blood in sight, but he was in unbearable pain.

459563

Even After Death Chapter 455-The air between the two seemed to stiffen.

Ethan’s voice was a little hoarse. “Liv, what if I told you I never betrayed you?” “You never betrayed me?” Olivia sneered.

“Then tell me, who are Connor’s parents? His face is almost the same as yours.

“Are you going to tell me that Marina referenced your face while sculpting him out of clay?” Ethan said, “This is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. Connor is-” Before Ethan could explain it, his phone rang.

It was a customized ringtone he set specially for Marina.

This used to be the ringtone Olivia feared the most.

It didn’t matter what she was doing with Ethan at that moment. As soon as the ringtone sounded, he would abandon everything and run toward Marina.

Olivia looked at him with a mocking expression on her face. “Why aren’t you picking up? What are you scared of?

“I’m not your wife anymore, so I don’t even care about-” Ethan rejected the call right away.

Holding Olivia’s hand again, he had a serious expression on his face.

“Listen, Liv. This is a very important matter. Before this, I kept it a secret becauseThe phone rang again. This time, the caller wasn’t Marina, but Mina.

If Mina was calling him at this hour, then it must be about the child.

Ethan had no choice but to answer the call. “What’s the matter?” Mina, who had always been calm, sounded very anxious at that moment.

“Mr. Miller, something happened to Master Connor. Where are you?” “What happened to Connor?” “Mrs. Miller said that she wanted to look after the children, so I brought Master Connor and Ms. Erina over.

“I was changing Ms. Erina’s diapers when Master Connor opened the door without me knowing.

“Then, he fell from the stairs…” Olivia was standing so close that she could hear Mina’s sobbing voice.

Chapter 455 2/3 When she heard that something had happened to Connor, her expression immediately changed. She behaved as if it was her son who got hurt.

“Is he okay?” “Master Connor fainted on the spot. He was already sent to the emergency room to be examined.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Miller. It’s all my fault.” Ethan ended the call. There was an apologetic look on his face.

“I’m sorry, Liv. I can’t be around for the meteor shower tonight. Something happened to Connor, so I have to go back right now.” “Go, then.” “I’ll get someone to send you back.” “It’s okay. Since I’m here already, I’ll leave after the meteor shower. I may not have a chance like this ever again.” Reaching out, Ethan caressed her head.

“Don’t worry, we have all the time in the world. I promise I’ll watch it with you next time.” With that, Ethan let go of her and hastily walked away.

He had left bodyguards to watch the area, so he wasn’t worried about Olivia’s safety.

Olivia watched as Ethan left in a hurry. His scent still lingered on the coat draped over her.

She felt like he was embracing her. Without any feelings of longing, Olivia removed the coat.

She began cooking the food over the grill.

She hated dining alone in the past. No matter how late it got, she would wait until Ethan came back.

But now, she felt that eating alone was fine as well. There were no worries or any unnecessary feelings.

She enjoyed the night breeze in the mountains, listening to the chirping of the insects.

This was the freedom she had yearned for in the past.

After getting diagnosed with stomach cancer, she stopped eating anything spicy.

She thought that she would miss the taste after so long.

But as soon as the spicy food touched her tongue, her nose turned red, and she began tearing up.

It was a perfect example of how easily a person’s habits could change.

For more than a decade, she loved spicy food. She could barely stand it if she hadn’t had spicy food in half a year.

Chapter 455 If even a decade-old habit could change, much less could be said of people.

Putting down her cutlery, Olivia got up and took the firefly bottle.

She went to the valley and then opened the lid of the bottle.

Free from their prison, the fireflies spread their wings and danced freely in the air around her.

These beautiful insects should not be caged just for humans to admire them.

They belonged to the vast wilderness.

Olivia decided to let them enjoy the freedom in her stead because she couldn’t do it herself.

As Olivia looked up at the fireflies, she noticed a sudden flash of light on the horizon. The light streaked across the sky and disappeared.

459564

Even After Death Chapter 456-Olivia realized that it was a meteor.

She had waited many times for meteors since she was young.

Even after staying up countless nights, she never managed to catch them.

But the meteors had come so suddenly tonight that she didn’t even prepare for it.

When she came to her senses, she had already put her palms together.

There was a single thought on her mind: she wished for Connor to be safe.

Olivia opened her eyes.

Brilliant silver light filled her vision. The white meteors dragged their long tails behind them.

One by one, they streaked across the vast expanse of the sky.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Olivia felt like she was dreaming. But it was true; she was in the middle of a meteor shower.

She couldn’t care less about not seeing Ethan ever again.

She was only thinking of the baby in her tummy.

Olivia made two wishes..

Firstly, she wanted Connor to be safe. Secondly, she wished that she could give birth to the baby without any problems.

When Ethan was rushing back to the city, he also saw the stars falling from the sky.

He made a wish to the meteors.

If they could truly make wishes come true, his only desire was to live to a ripe old age with Olivia.

He knew that Olivia would find his wish pathetic, but he had never changed his wish to grow old with Olivia.

When Ethan hastily arrived at the hospital, Connor had already woken up.

When Connor saw Ethan, he said with teary eyes, “Daddy…” Ethan pulled the child into his embrace.

Stepping forward, Mina explained, “The checkup is complete. Fortunately, there’s nothing serious with Master Connor.” “Why would he fall from the stairs out of the blue?” Ethan was furious.

After all, Connor was an intelligent boy, and he had developed faster than other children his age.

Chapter 456 2/3 He was more than a year old, so he would know better than to fall from the stairs.

Connor would hold onto the railing in dangerous places like that.

“It might be an accident.” “An accident?” Ethan snorted. He knew his son very well.

“Have you checked the surveillance?” “No, I’ve been holding Ms. Erina all this while. Are you suspecting that this isn’t an accident, Mr. Miller?” “There can’t be this many accidents.” Ethan gently caressed Connor’s head with his fingers. “Tell me. Why did you want to leave?” Connor said pitifully, “Mommy. Want Mommy.” Ethan’s heart ached.

Since he brought Olivia home, he dropped hints that he would get the child home. But Olivia had been cold about it.

Their relationship was broken because of Olivia’s hand and the incident with Leia.

Now, Olivia had to endure the pains of pregnancy as well, so Ethan gave up on the idea.

He sighed. Connor was quite brilliant, to say the least.

When Connor was a few months old, Ethan showed him Olivia’s photo and told him that this was his mother.

Ethan thought that the young child wouldn’t understand. But Connor had committed it to memory.

Connor never called Marina his mother. But every time he met Olivia, he was very close to her.

This was the natural connection due to them being blood-related.

“Good boy. You’ll meet her one day.” Ethan hugged Connor. After leaving Brent some instructions, he went to Marina’s ward.

After Marina received treatment, her life was no longer in danger. Her health was improving as well.

Unfortunately, her legs were broken, so she might not be able to stand again.

She leaned against the bed as she watched Ethan entering with the child in his arms.

Her pale face looked weary. “Ethan, is he alright?” “Fortunately, he’s not gravely injured. He fainted from falling, and he had a mild concussion. It’s not serious.” Chapter 456 3/3 It was only then that Marina sighed in relief. She reached out to touch Connor’s cheek.

“Be more careful in the future, Connor.” Awkwardly enough, she had only extended her hand when Connor buried his face in Ethan’s chest.

Marina could never understand what was going on.

Connor was like an ungrateful kid. No matter how well she treated him, he refused to acknowledge her as his mother.

Ethan found an excuse. “He’s still recovering from shock. You should rest.” “Ethan…” Marina reached out. “Won’t you spend time with me?” “I don’t think I can do that. It’s time for the children to go to bed.” With that, Ethan didn’t even look back. He placed Connor onto the baby seat.

“Good boy. I’ll take you to your mommy right now. She’s the only mommy you have.” 

459565

Even After Death Chapter 457-When Connor heard that, he immediately began to cry.

He shouted, “Mommy, want! Want Mommy!” Connor was a good child, and he rarely cried. But when it came to Olivia, he would cry sorrowfully.

Ethan sighed helplessly. “One last time, then. We have to leave right after seeing Mommy, okay?” Connor didn’t understand what Ethan meant. But he was happy as long as he could see his mother.

There were still tears on his face as he nodded obediently.

Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears in the corners of Connor’s eyes.

He also wiped Connor’s saliva while he was at it. “Come, let’s go see Mommy.” The dim yellow lights blinked around the inflatable tent, looking like little stars.

Connor should have been fast asleep at that hour, but at that moment, his eyes were wide in excitement.

Before they even arrived, he wriggled out of Ethan’s arms. Then, he ran toward the tent with his short legs.

Olivia didn’t feel like sleeping. She was sitting on the rug, counting the stars in the sky.

Unexpectedly, a small child entered her field of vision. She was in disbelief, and she felt like she was dreaming.

In the past, if Ethan were called away by Marina, he would never come back.

This time, he didn’t just come back, but he had also brought Connor, who Olivia was worried about.

“Mommy, Mommy.” Connor joyfully ran toward her. Overwhelmed, Olivia reached out and caught him. Connor happily nuzzled against her face.

He was upset that Olivia was only holding him with one hand. He mumbled, “Hug. Mommy, hug.” Olivia looked at him with a troubled expression. “My hand is hurt, so I’m afraid I can’t hug you anymore, Connor.” Connor didn’t understand what she meant.

He reached out to grab her right hand. But he found her palm drooping limply, and there was no strength in her wrist.

He blinked. Then, he looked at his own hands. He seemed to have understood something.

He kissed the scar on Olivia’s wrist. “Mommy hurt.” Chapter 458 2/3 When Olivia heard that, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Any mother would feel their heart soften when they were around children.

Her tears dripped onto Connor’s hand.

“Silly child. You’re such a silly child.” Connor reached up, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Don’t cry.

Mommy, don’t cry.” Olivia forced a smile. “Okay, I won’t cry.” Reaching out, Ethan carried her off the ground. “Why are you sitting on the ground? You might catch a cold.” Connor followed them with his short legs.

Connor had warmed Olivia’s heart, so Olivia didn’t speak too coldly at that moment.

“Is Connor alright?” she asked calmly.

“He’s fine. He had a mild concussion, but it’s not serious. Don’t worry.” “That’s good to hear.” Olivia got out of his arms. She patted the airbed with her left hand, gesturing for Connor to get onto the bed.

Lifting Connor by the hips, Ethan helped him onto the bed. Connor hastily crawled up to Olivia. ” Mommy, sleep.” Reaching out, Olivia scratched Connor’s nose. “Alright, Aunt Olivia will hug you to sleep.” Connor didn’t like how she called herself. “You’re Mommy.” Olivia didn’t argue with him. Instead, she thought of something as she looked at Ethan. “You were going to tell me something about Connor, right?” Ethan swallowed the words he was about to say.

Someone was targeting the child, but he didn’t know where they were from at that moment.

He decided that it would be better if less people knew about it.

“It’s nothing. I was going to say that Connor missed you.” Olivia had a feeling that this wasn’t what he wanted to say, but she couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say, either.

She gave up. Since he didn’t want to say it, she wouldn’t pursue the matter.

Olivia lay on the bed with Connor in her arms. The sunroof was open so they could see the night sky.

Connor pointed at the sky, smiling as he said, “Mommy, look. Stars.” Ethan lay down on the other side. Connor took each of their hands, smiling happily. “Daddy, Mommy.

459566

Even After Death Chapter 458-When Connor heard that, he immediately began to cry.
