Ch. 821..830

Even After Death Chapter 821-Olivia counted the days. Logan had been with her for around half a year.

They went from being distant to him becoming a full-time nanny for her child. He helped care for Alicia without any complaints and she had long since dropped her guard with him.

“I…” But Olivia was reluctant to tell him. The story was too long, and she didn’t know where to start.

“It’s okay, I’m very tight-lipped. I’ll never tell anyone else.” Olivia glanced at Alicia and said, “Maybe later.” “Okay.” Ethan wasn’t in a rush. He waited for around half a year for her to open up. He didn’t mind waiting for a while longer.

He sat by the flowerbeds and waited for her while Alicia was taking her nap.

When Olivia walked over, he stood up. “Ms. Fordham.” “No need to stand. Let’s sit and talk.” “Okay.” Ethan had prepared a glass of juice for her. They sat under a parasol as the sea breeze blew toward them gently.

Olivia took a sip. It was fresh lemonade. The taste was refreshing with a sour tinge.

“Are you willing to hear a story?” “It’s my pleasure.” Olivia set the glass down and gazed at the ocean. “The story starts from that one accident at sea… This was the first time Ethan heard about their story from Olivia’s perspective. He never knew she fell for him the moment he rescued her.

She didn’t mention all the reprehensible things he did to her over the years. She only glossed over them.

Ethan fell into a deep silence after she finished talking.

He had experienced the same things as her, but hearing her recounting the events felt like he was putting salt on her wounds.

He had the urge to slap himself.

“I’m already divorced, but he is a very obsessive man. He will never give up on whatever he decides on. If he knew where I was, he would definitely take me and my child prisoner.” Olivia used a very harsh word-prisoner.

Ethan collected his thoughts before speaking.

He said, “Judging from what you said, your ex-husband must have loved you a lot. Maybe he just wants to protect you and your child and doesn’t plan to hurt you.

“Besides, they’re his children too. He might be overjoyed if he knew they were still alive. Have you ever thought about getting back with him?” “Impossible!” Olivia turned down that notion without hesitation. “I’ll never go back to him, not for the rest of my life. Love was not an excuse for him to hurt me. I won’t deny that he might’ve loved me a lot. But he hurt me repeatedly under the guise of love. His actions hurt me too deeply.” Intense hatred appeared in Olivia’s eyes when she said that. “If not for him, my adoptive father would still be alive. I would still have a home. My son would still be alive.” Olivia raised her hand. “He didn’t just hurt me emotionally. This is proof of the physical harm he caused No matter how many evil deeds his sister committed, despite her multiple attempts on my life, he still sided with her and shot me without hesitation.

“If I forgave him, I would be doing myself a disservice. All the suffering I had been through, the blood I shed, and the pain I felt would have been for nothing.” Even if her hand had recovered, it would never return to how it was, at least not in the foreseeable future.

The scar was also forever carved on her skin and on her heart.

“I hate him with every fiber of my being. I despise him. I would never live with that monster, even if it were for the children’s sake.”

Even After Death Chapter 822-Olivia’s voice wasn’t loud, but her words were deafening.

Ethan didn’t have a response to them.

It was true. He had hurt her so deeply. Why would she ever come back to him? He was being delusional.

A hint of uneasiness flashed on Olivia’s face when she noticed Ethan had fallen silent.

“I’m sorry. I lost my composure for a bit.” “No, I think a man like your ex-husband could die a hundred times over, and it still wouldn’t be enough to make up for the pain you felt.” “I just hope that I don’t meet him ever again,” Olivia replied.

Ethan composed himself and said, “I understand now. We have to sneak into Aldenvine without him noticing, right?” “Yeah. That’s why I tried to sneak onto Tobias’ ship. It was unfortunate that we encountered pirates. We have to find another way now that the cargo ship is no longer an option.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Fordham. Leave it to me.” Olivia had only wanted him to help come up with an idea.

She looked at him in surprise. “Can you really pull it off?” “I’ve been to so many countries over the years. I have a few underhanded tricks up my sleeve.” Ethan looked at her with a straight face and said, “You can always trust me, Ms. Fordham.” Their eyes met and Olivia could see the sincerity in his gaze.

Ethan wore contact lenses that covered up his eye’s original color. They looked yellowish to her.

For some reason, she had a weird feeling in her chest.

Ethan suddenly kneeled on one knee. He raised her hand. There was no levity in his actions, only solemnity and respect. He was like a medieval knight.

“I will never betray you.” It was like a promise that surpassed their relationship as employer and employee.

Olivia was stunned. Her mind blanked out. She didn’t expect Logan to do something like this.

What did he mean by that?

But before she could think further about it, Ethan had already gotten up. “I’ll go make arrangements now.

You may need to wait a few days, Ms. Fordham.” Olivia nodded absent-mindedly. The hand he touched and her face were both flushed.

He was confessing, right?

Probably not.

In the past, Olivia would be very confident. She had plenty of men pursuing her. But Logan met her when she was terminally ill and extremely frail.

She figured no sane person would fall for such a sickly woman. She even went back to her room and looked into the mirror.

In the mirror, she saw the short hair on her head, shorter than potted plants. Although her features were fine, her reflection still looked weird to her.

He probably… meant what he said. She shouldn’t think too much into it.

As she was thinking about it anxiously, Ethan returned to normal and dispelled her concerns.

She knew he wasn’t really into her. If he did have feelings for her, things would get awkward for them.

Logan kept the usual distance from her and looked at her calmly. There would only be flashes of tenderness in his gaze when he was looking at Alicia.

“Ms. Fordham, we can leave in three days.” Olivia was overjoyed. “You really found a way?” “Yeah. I contacted some of my old friends. We can go near Aldenvine on a black ship.” “Black ship?” Olivia was confused.

“It’s… a ship that isn’t entirely legal. There will be a lot of illegal transactions on the ship. They would sail to the international waters for the transaction. Then, they’ll return after a while.

“We just need to be on it until we’re near Aldenvine. These ships have powerful backers and can evade investigations.”

Even After Death Chapter 823-This route was more befitting of Logan’s character. It wouldn’t rouse Olivia’s suspicions.

“A shady ship? Is it safe?” Olivia asked.

“I’ve already informed my friend beforehand. As long as we stay in the room and avoid messing with anyone else, we’ll be fine. We won’t participate in any activities on the ship. We’re just hitching a ride.” In her subconscious mind, Olivia wasn’t quite willing to get on a ship like that. She feared that it would be dangerous, but this was one of the very few ways for her to go back.

“Alright” She agreed.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Fordham. I’ll protect you guys.” Olivia nodded, putting more trust in him now.

After spending the last three days on the island, Ethan prepared a wig and a mask for Olivia.

“Ms. Fordham, most of the passengers on the ship aren’t good people. Ordinary people like us might raise suspicion, so we have to pretend to be a married couple.

“As for Ms. Alicia, she’ll have to put up with it.” Ethan paused for a moment. “Normal children wouldn’t appear on ships like that unless they’re… goods.” Olivia frowned deeply.

She could also make some guesses. In shadowy corners where the sunlight couldn’t reach, filth and darkness prevailed “Make arrangements as you see fit,” she said.

On the day of their departure, they took a yacht and boarded a huge and luxurious cruise ship.

Alicia hid in the suitcase, all curled up.

As for Olivia, the long wig she was wearing fluttered in the wind. She and Ethan were wearing high-end clothes and they both wore masks.

They encountered a few passengers on their way. Under the masks, their eyes swept across Olivia as if they were appraising goods.

The masks could hide their faces, but their human nature was in full view.

Of course, Olivia didn’t like those gazes. She was about to glare back at them when a strong arm appeared on her waist, pulling her in a certain direction.

She rammed into Ethan’s firm chest.

Lowering his voice, Ethan spoke in her ear, “Excuse me.” Olivia knew that he was coming to her rescue. He was using this method to tell the others that Olivia was already taken. This was the simplest and most direct method.

The other people averted their gazes as if they had lost interest.

Still, some shameless passengers took the initiative to scoot closer.

Sweeping his leery gaze across Olivia, a man said, “Sir, are you interested in joining us? We have a multiplayer session tonight.

Even though his voice was small, it still reached Olivia’s ears.

“It’s a trading game.” He added.

When he spoke those words, Olivia felt herself getting worked up.

Before they boarded the ship, Ethan had already told her that there were various kinds of people there.

She had just arrived, but she had already received such shocking treatment.

The man had just finished speaking when Ethan whipped his head around to glare at the man. His gaze was extremely cold. “Get lost!” “Tch, just say you’re not joining. What are you so mad for?” It was a short route, but Olivia had already met several perverts along the way.

When they arrived at their room, they carried the child out of the suitcase right away.

Ethan told the two not to sneak out at all costs. As long as they paid the price, they could have all their needs met in the room.

After staying there for around two weeks, they would be able to arrive at Aldenvine.

“Allie, we’ll just stay here from today onward. We must never go out this door, understand?” “Alright.” Olivia glanced around the room. It was a huge suite.

I'll be sleeping in the small single room outside. You and Ms. Alicia will be sleeping inside. If anything. happens, you can call me right away.” Ethan said.
