Mason stood there with his hands behind him. He managed to recover quickly under Olivia's care. Now, he appeared no less different from an ordinary person.

White strands peeked out of his dyed hair, but it didn't wither his imposing manner one bit.

"Mr. Heath." Ethan straightened his back. He paid more reverence to Mason after learning that Mason was Olivia's grandfather.

"Ethan, I had high hopes for you, but you shouldn't have hurt Liv. You bullied her because she didn't have anyone behind her back in the past; now, she's out of your league.”

Solemnity was evident in Mason's visage. "As long as I'm still alive, I will never let you hurt her.”

Words stuck in Ethan's throat. No one could ever forgive him for what he had done to Olivia.

The harm was done due to the jumble of misunderstandings, but the harm was undeniably done.

He couldn't offer any explanations because they would only struck as excuses to others. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I will never hurt Liv again, Mr. Heath. I swear."

Mason stared at Ethan deeply before saying, "Don't give me empty promises."

Then, Mason held Olivia's hand and turned to leave.

Ethan's hands balled into fists, and his knuckles turned white. His tall stature formed a long shadow, and loneliness shrouded him like an invisible cloak.

Olivia didn't stop in her tracks. Her love for him wasn't enough for her to ignore the harm he caused.

“Liv, no one can shake you up. If you don't want to a remarriage, he won't be able to force you with me around.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

She returned to her room for a shower. Ethan's lonely figure crossed her mind.

Wasn't she the same, chasing behind him in the past?

The desire for revenge didn't live in her, but she couldn't forget the past. “I'm happy enough with how things are right now."

Those words played a loop in her head. Marriage was a cage that cooped her up.

Without the cage, she would have more freedom.

There were only the four of them joining dinner. Krystal's absence surprised Olivia.

Olivia had been gone for almost 20 days, yet Krystal wasn't home yet. Judging from Mason's love for Krystal, he would never hold grudges against her.

Moreover, she was already pregnant for two months!

Tatiana appeared haggard while trying to maintain peace.

“Lisa made this chicken soup since morning. It must've been a rough journey for you, Liv. You should have more of it."

She nodded. "Thank you, Mrs. Heath."

"What, Mrs. Heath? We're a family. If you don't mind it, you can call me Grandma."

It put Olivia in an awkward position, but she addressed Tatiana that way out of courtesy, "Grandma."

"There were so many misunderstandings between us. And my daughter has caused you much trouble. I hope you'll look past them and won't take them to heart. We're a family from now." Tatiana knew what was the best for the bigger picture, better than Krystal.

Olivia knew that Tatiana would never take a liking to her. However, no one could find fault in that facade.

Olivia played along with it. "Don't be, Grandma. I never see Aunt Krystal in the bad way."

She was different from Krystal, who'd never learned how to make peace with people.

Tatiana filled Olivia's plate and kept talking to her warmly.

The picture was so harmonious. Unfortunately, it was merely a show to earn brownie points from Mason.

After the meal, Linus walked Olivia back to the room.

“Let's leave the matters in Raka at it. Get it out of your head."

She nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Linus. By the way, why is Krystal not back home yet?"
