Connor took after Ethan the most. He was sensitive and gentle yet bashful.

Olivia caressed the back of Connor's head. "Baby, this is your home now. We're your family. You can do anything you want. No one will blame you."

As soon as she said that, the insensible Zack breezed into the room and jumped onto the bed. "Connor, save me!"

Huffing, Alicia grabbed Connor's arm. "Connor, you gotta help me! Zack is the bad guy!"

The kids messed around, and Connor gradually warmed up to them. At the end of the day, Zack and Alicia slept beside Connor—one on his left, one on his right. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Connor was so tired from all the play. The sight of them sleeping together elicited a warm smile from Olivia.

She lay next to Willow, who naturally curled into her embrace. The warmth in her arms filled her chest with bliss.

Everything was perfect.

Late at night, Olivia felt an arm sliding beneath her legs. The next second she knew it, she was lifted into someone else's arms.

The smell of alcohol alone was enough to tell her who it was.

She nestled in Ethan's embrace, allowing him to carry her wherever he was heading. "You drank until now?"

He hummed in response. Since he had taken a bath, the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of shampoo.

It felt so intimate.

He closed the door and placed her on the bed that was initially meant for Willow.

"Liv..."

Alcohol always got him horny, so she didn't mind him waking her up. Gently, she cooed, "Looks like the talk with Grandpa went smoothly. He allowed you to stay."

Not wanting her to get involved in the men's business, he let his lips leave traces on her neck.

Everything in him was screaming for her, and his muffled voice kept muttering something.

When he was going to tear a condom open, Olivia pressed his hand. "Don't use it."

“Liv, I don't want you to take the pills.”

Aside from the days they spent in the mountains, Ethan always made sure he prepared protection.

Olivia lost a lot of blood during each delivery. Connor alone was enough of a gift and yet she had surprised him with another three children!

He didn't want her to go through the pain again, let alone suffer from the effect of taking pills. That was why he was strict with himself.

No longer the innocent lady, Olivia had her demands when it came to this kind of matter.

Besides, the other party was the man she had loved for so many years. “I won't be able to get pregnant even if I don't take the pills,” she blurted the truth.

Ethan was momentarily stunned. Although he didn't intend to impregnate her, it pained him to hear that she was barren.

"Is it because of me?"

She chuckled lightly. "Everything comes with a cost. We have to pay the price to get what we want. It's a miracle that I'm still alive.” Frowning, he planted a kiss on her lips. "I'm sorry. We already have four, and I'm happy with that.”

She let her head fall onto his shoulder. "Ethan, don't disappoint me again."

The calm yet dangerous night outside the window caught her eyes. "No more. Never.” Ethan wanted Olivia again and again while she hugged his waist.

When she left that year, she no longer believed in love.

However, this time, something warm began to seep into the long- dormant void in her.

"Ethan, I'd like to believe in you again.”
