Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Olivia smiled. It was an extremely mocking smile. She pried Ethan's fingers off her. “Mr. Miller, I've never wanted anything from you. I can even let go of the title of Mrs. Miller without any issues.” Under Ethan's gleaming gaze, Olivia smiled faintly. She said calmly, “In the past, I thought that nothing could rival you. But then I stood still, waiting “I waited as leaves budded, then cicadas started crying in the summer. The leaves then turned yellow in fall, and lastly, the wind began to how! in winter. “I couldn't wait any longer, so I had no choice but to drag my tired body forward. Then, I realized something. “The spring breeze, the summer cicadas, the leaves in the fall, and even the winter snow... All those things are better than you.” She lifted her hands, her slender fingers touching the face she used to love with all her heart. “Ethan, I admit that I haven't completely forgotten about you. Maybe I won't be able to wipe you from memory even after many years. “You'll still affect my mood and change my thoughts, but... I don’t have the energy to miss you anymore.” In the end, her fingers touched his lips. “Ethan, aren't you tired of all those grudges? I am. I don’t want to waste more time on you and Marina. “I don’t want to be upset because of people that don’t matter to me anymore. Let's just go on our separate paths, alright?” Her face was reflected in Ethan's eyes. She was supposed to be familiar, but now, he felt that she was a stranger. He felt like he had never seen her before. Gritting his teeth, he said in a cold voice, “Olivia, are you so desperate to cut off ties with me?” Olivia met his gaze. At that moment, she wasn't afraid, nor was she pretending. “Yes. If I weren't looking for Leo, I wouldn't have gone to you. I don’t like Marina, and I don't want to be a second Marina either. I don’t want to get involved with you while you're married. “Divorce isn't just a contract written on a piece of paper; it's a decision made by two adul do is to respect your own choice.” He released her shoulders. “I hope you don't regret your decision today.” Olivia thought that she would be scared and helpless. But when the time came, she realized that she was much calmer than expected. the only thing you have to “In the past, I was scared of the dark. I was scared that you would leave me and not love me anymore. I would close my eyes and block my ears. “I stopped where I was. I dared not take another step. But now, I realized that it was scary because I didn't dare face the problem. “When I accepted the truth and stopped caring, I realized that you're the one I fear losing the most. But now that I've already lost you, what is left for me to be scared of?” Ethan parted his lips. He wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn't know where to start. He could only let his arms fall by his sides. He looked at Olivia with a complicated expression. “Have you truly made up your mind?” Olivia tried her best to smile. “Ethan, I earnestly tried before. I kept believing this certain saying. 212 “When you've decided to give up on your dreams, tell yourself to hang on. For one more day, one more week, one more month, and even one more year. “You'll be surprised with the results from just hanging on.” Lifting her hand, she held up her index and middle fingers. “Because of this saying, I persisted for two years. I kept waiting for a miracle to happen. “You don’t know how I felt when I watched the sun setting alone at home. The moon was already in the sky, and the food was reheated over and over again. “I was waiting for someone who would never return. “You'll never understand what it felt like when the Fordhams went bankrupt. When my father got into an accident, and when I lost my lover and child. When I lost everything. “Back then, I rushed to and from the hospital. When I needed you the most, you were spending time with Marina.” There were tears in Olivia's eyes, but she remained smiling. “I've experienced heartbreak and knives stabbing through my heart. I've been betrayed by everyone close to me. “I struggled in the mud for two whole years, but what did I get in the end? What can I do about it? You don't need me, so why should I stay?" Gripping Ethan's arms, she continued, “I can now feel that you don’t hate me anymore. Since you don't want to hurt me, Ethan, can you please let me go? For the sake of old times?" Ethan didn’t say a word. He simply pried her hands away. That day, he closed the door gently. Those words had come true. When he was leaving for real, he would close the door at the lowest volume possible. Olivia slid down along the wall of the bathroom. Tears streamed out from between her fingers.
