Ever since Olivia woke up in the morning, she could feel that something was weighing on Ethan's mind. When they had just gotten into the car, she noticed the worried look on his face.

So, she took the initiative to give him a peck on the cheek. "Why are you so upset?"

Ethan hesitated to speak. "It's nothing."

“If you don't tell me, I'll kiss you until you do.”

“You're so naughty.” Ethan deepened the kiss. Things were almost going out of hand, so Olivia shoved Ethan away.

She leaned her head against his shoulder, squeezing her fingers in between Ethan's. She said, "We're not bound by marriage, but after Dad died, you're the person closest to me in this world other than the kids.

"Ethan, can you please tell me what you're thinking about?"

Ethan curled his fingers, tightly holding her hand in his. He stared straight at her as he said, "You're my Liv, and you're also... Septem?" Olivia stiffened. "You knew?"

"The newest S-class mission from The Black Ravens was to obtain the ring. The person who accepted the mission was Septem.

“To be honest, I've been investigating you a long time ago. You're the one who dealt with Golden Shark, right?"

After he was poisoned, someone killed Golden Shark, who had run away. Also, with his method, they lopped off Golden Shark's head and posted it on the dark web.

Olivia didn't deny it. "It was me. I wanted to figure out who it was that tried to kill me back then. Even if I can't get any clues, she might come back when she hears that I'm still alive.

“It's in places like this that I can get information as soon as possible, and I can trace her too."

Ethan said, "Liv, I told you that I'll help you look into it. Why didn't you believe me? Why would you rather risk your life to get to this point?"

“I just didn't want anything to affect our relationship anymore. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"If this person is an important family member to you, just like Leia, then even if your heart aches for me, you'll still point the gun at me at critical moments.”

Olivia's exquisite face was calm. "I don't want to go through that painful experience ever again. It's not that I don't believe you; I just want to trust myself instead of relying on others.”

Ethan let out a light sigh. In the end, it was all his fault.

Putting an arm around Olivia's shoulders, he apologized. "Liv, no matter what happens in the future, I will never point a gun at you anymore. I was in the wrong in the past.

"Now, you've become so brilliant and outstanding. I'm worried that you'll disappear from my world someday.

“I'm also worried that to you, I'm just a mission to be accomplished, just like Wayne. There are no bonds between us. I fear that..."

It was only then that Olivia understood what Ethan was troubled about. Lifting her head, she looked at Ethan, who was wearing the mask. Even though only his mouth was exposed, his jawline was perfect.

Reaching out, she traced his face with the tips of her fingers. She ran her fingers along his tall nose and thin lips.

"Why do you think that there are no bonds between us? You're the children’s father, and this fact will never change. No one can take your place, either.

“I'm not as reckless with my life as you've imagined. Look, I came to you when I was in trouble, right?"

Olivia rubbed against his neck again. She was as docile as a kitten. "I need you so much; do you truly not feel that at all? Ethan..."

Of course, Ethan couldn't withstand her tender appeals. He pulled her into his embrace. "Oh, you... What do I do with you?"

Olivia decisively stuck close to him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. "What do I have to do for you to believe that you have a place in my heart?"

"Liv, let's get married again, okay?"
