Ethan looked at Olivia's figure against the bleak snow. He felt like he had messed up again.

Instead of plots and schemes, he was more intent on seeing her.

With Mason between them and since Olivia had to take care of Molly as well, it had become quite a pipe dream for him to see Olivia.

He knew that Olivia had surgery to perform today, so that was why he kept waiting here. He wanted to see her as soon as she got out of the Heath residence.

He recalled back when he returned from his missions, she would always have some soup ready for him if he informed her beforehand. She would stand at the entrance in her apron, looking out for him. White snow drifted around her, covering her hair and clothes with a layer of white. She looked as pretty as a picture.

He just terribly missed the past.

Ethan sighed. He had somehow made Olivia mad again. Stepping on the gas pedal, he went after her.

The surgery today would be performed in the basement of Olivia's villa, which was equipped with the most advanced medical equipment. But it was still early when Olivia went back to her home. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The cars, one black and the other white, pulled up. Ethan hastily stepped forward, following Olivia.

The door was then opened. The heater in the house wasn't turned on yet, so it felt like they had walked into a fridge.

Ignoring Ethan, Olivia changed her shoes and went to turn on the heater.

When she felt someone tugging the corner of her coat, she turned around to see the tall man with his head lowered.

His eyes were filled with apology toward her, and his voice was pitiful as he said, "I'm sorry, Liv."

It was fine if he behaved arrogantly about it, but Olivia's heart always softened when she saw people who showed weakness. When she saw him like that, her rage decreased a lot.

"What are you sorry for?"

“You're right, I shouldn't have involved you in my debts to Kurt. I should've drawn my boundaries.”

Pursing his lips, Ethan explained, "Back then, I thought that Erina was too young, so if I told her the truth, it might hurt her. Kurt saved my life, so I wanted to take care of his children in his stead.

"But I was stubborn, and I never considered your feelings.

"I felt terrible when I saw Zack and the others calling Jack their dad, so when I put myself in your shoes, I realized that your heart must've hurt terribly last night."

Olivia didn't expect Ethan to accurately identify his mistakes. “I know that I shouldn't hold a grudge against a child, but I can't control my feelings.

“You're indebted to Kurt, but if Erina and I were to get into danger at the same time, are you going to shove me away and choose her again just to repay his kindness?

"Getting hit by a bullet once is once too many."

Ethan pulled her into his embrace. "That won't happen again. Liv, I'm sorry. I'll explain the truth to Erina today, so please give me another chance, alright?

"I was inconsiderate, but I swear I won't do it again."

Olivia raised her eyebrow. "Are you really willing to do it? Won't you worry that she might get hurt?"

"She can understand these things now. If she keeps getting the wrong idea about me and Marina, she'll try to get us together. Instead of that happening, I would rather explain it to her right now.

“I've been searching for you for the past few years, so I didn't manage to see her. That's why I forgot to explain it to her.

"Yesterday, I gave in because I hadn't seen her in forever. I shouldn't have overlooked your feelings."

Lowering his head, Ethan rubbed against her neck. "I wasn't plotting anything by waiting outside the Heath residence this morning. I seriously just wanted to see you as soon as possible."

He sounded extremely wounded. "Your grandpa won't let me see you alone, and you're busy taking care of Molly these days.

“Liv, I know that you're very busy and also very outstanding, so I won't try to own all of you. But can you please reserve a small corner in your heart for me?"
