Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Olivia's burp was loud in the silent room before stillness inflated in the air.

She didn’t expect herself to give the game away that quickly.

Feeling awkward, she looked at Ethan. “I can explain.”

She blurted that in the heat of the moment, making matters worse. She observed his expression carefully only to realize that his face was free from annoyance.

Worry sat upon his brows instead.

She thought, “Did I misread his expression? He resents me to his bones. Why would he be worried about me?”

“Have more if you're hungry.” He gave her a spoonful.

She was confused as she thought, “Does he think that I burp because I'm hungry?”

In the end, Olivia was stuffed when the meal was actually made for Ethan.

“Enough. I'm full.” She could feel her stomach bursting.

He frowned. “You're all skin and bones. How could you eat only this little?"

Then, he fed her another spoonful of lasagna. Her cheeks were puffed like a chipmunk.

At this moment, a woman in spectacles opened the door. “Mr. Miller, we need a signature from you for this doc-"

Never in her life has she imagined herself to witness such a scene. The solemn Ethan, who abhorred contact with women, was hugging and feeding Olivia.

His humility put the secretary in a trance.

Olivia swallowed the food in a hurry and choked on it. Her face turned red instantly. “Water ..."”

Ethan gave her a glass of water. “How could a grown-up choke on food?”

She hugged his neck and nuzzled his cheek. “I was surprised. That's all.”

Her gentle voice sent slight shudders across his body. It made his heart flutter.

Olivia's breathing was brushing his ears.

He turned his head away to look at the shocked secretary. “Who told you to come in? Leave!”

“I-I'm sorry, Mr. Miller.” She quickly closed the door.

Although she was hugging Ethan's neck, she had been watching that secretary from the corner of her eyes.

Everyone around him was on Olivia's suspect list.

The opponent's objective was to drive Olivia and Ethan apart. Thus, the opponent wouldn't like it when they were intimate.

Too bad there weren't many emotions shown on the secretary's face. As soon as the door was closed, she released him. “That secretary is bold. She entered the office without your permission.”

Jealousy seeped into her tone, and he was in a good mood because of that.

“I'm full. You can dig in.” She hopped off Ethan's lap as if she had achieved her objective.

Olivia stood in front of the floor—to—ceiling window, which made her appear petite.

Mixed feelings churned in his stomach as lie watched her back. Chapter 176

She was gazing at the illuminated city, where she didn't feel a sense of belonging.

He placed the cutleries down without her knowing and came up behind him. “Something on your mind?"

“About you and Marina's engagement ceremony. I heard that she’s chosen Cherry Blossom Haven as the venue. It'll be

gorgeous when the cherry blossoms bloom,” she described it with tranquility.

Slowly, she turned around and looked at him. “Speaking about it, you still owe me a wedding.”
