Olivia shook his head, shaking off those preposterous thoughts.

There was nothing weird about that scene. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Molly's body was weaker than the average person's, and Yale watched her grow up. It could be possible for him to see her as his own sister. It was the same with Jeff and Olivia. Although they didn't share the same blood, they were close.

How could she have such immoral thoughts about Yale and Molly? Olivia left the villa, her face cold from the breeze.

She turned on the car engine so that the heater could clear the mist of the windows. Rubbing her hands, she took the wheel and stepped on the pedal.

Perhaps Molly's saddening story had weighed on her mood.

Feeling down, Olivia took herself a drive around this familiar city.

Her kids weren't by her side, and Jeff had passed away. Not even her only best friend was there with her.

The city gave her a sense of void.

While she was waiting for the green light, memories flooded her head. She visited her college and quietly sat in her favorite store the entire afternoon.

The cheerful students reminded her of her past self.

It was not until the darkness colored the sky black that she returned to her villa.

She bought it with her money. It had nothing to do with Ethan. However, when she stepped into the place she put in so much effort to decorate, she didn't feel a tinge of warmth.

Her heart was hollow and lonely.

She thought of how Yale held Molly's hand. No matter how huge the house was, it was empty without one's family's companion.

Although there were Mason and Linus, she wasn't closely acquainted with them. Their busy schedules didn't help out either.

They were far from being a normal family.

The lights in the yard were on. Snowflakes danced in the shade of yellow light, worsening her feeling of loneliness.

She opened the door, ready to turn on the lights when Ethan hugged her from behind.

His body was warm, melting the snow attached to her.

Resting his chin on her shoulder, he said sorrowfully, “I'm sorry, Liv." That tone of grievance made him appear like a puppy asking for forgiveness.

“I shouldn't have broken the promise. If you don't want to remarry, then forget about it. I won't say those words again.”

His arms tightened around her. It was as though he wished to etch her in his bones.

"Just don't leave me."

His pitiful voice kept ringing in her ears, slowly pulling her out of the cage of loneliness.

"Did I keep you waiting?"

Ethan didn't expect that to be Olivia's first question. "Not long. Just half a day."

He could have been waiting since she went to the hospital. Like her past self, who didn't know when he would return home.

Waiting was all she knew what to do.

The house was warm, but he didn't turn on the lights.

Her hand reached out for the switch, but he stopped her.

"Hold on."

"Hmm?"

Holding her hand, he led her the way forward. Stars began reflecting in her eyes.

The light of stars painted the floor. In addition to the night sky, it was like a reflection of a starry sky.

Olivia smiled. "Do you think I'm 16 years old?"

There had been no time for him to do such things in the past. Now, he wished he could make up for it.

A bouquet of fresh flowers rested on the table. The petals were vibrant in color.

"Liv, I've figured it out. If you don't want to marry, it's alright. As long as my feelings for you don't change, I have my whole life to try to win your heart."

His deep gaze earned a smile from her. "Fine, but..."

Her hand reached out to yank him over by the tie bossily.

He was baffled. "Liv?"

Ethan filled the void in her.

Standing on her toes, Olivia kissed him in the starry night.

"Hug me, Ethan.”
