Chapter 587
Only a wall lamp was lit in the large bedroom. Olivia was wearing thin pajamas and was barefooted as she curled up in a corner.
Her face was filled with terror. Ethan’s heart broke when he saw that, and he dashed up to Olivia.
“What happened, Liv?”
As if grabbing her final lifeline, Olivia threw herself into Ethan’s embrace.
When Ethan saw the wet trails of tears on her face, his heart ached terribly.
“Don’t cry. I’m back.”
Ethan’s body was still wet, but Olivia didn’t mind it at all. She gripped Ethan’s arm with both hands. “Tell me, how did our
children die?”
“Why are you mentioning the children again?” Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears on her face.

As Ethan comforted her, he patted her back. “It was a stormy night, and the rain was heavy that night. The road was dangerous.
“The car was out of control, and it veered off the winding mountain road. In the end, it fell into the sea. Is that the image in your mind?”
Olivia shook her head. She kept mumbling to herself, “I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all. I just feel pain in my heart. When I recall the past, my head hurts as well. It feels like it’s going to explode.”
Ethan hugged her head tightly. “Then don’t think about it. It’s in the past now. I didn’t want to mention these things in front of you because I didn’t want you to be sad.
“Liv, I’ve said this before. You have me. Let’s not think about the past anymore, alright?”
Olivia slowly calmed down in his embrace. After choking a few times, she stopped crying.
Seeing that Olivia didn’t even wear her shoes, Ethan couldn’t help but complain, “I know that we have a heater at home, but you can’t go around barefooted.
“You might get wet easily. Your body is weak enough as it is. It can’t handle the cold.”
Olivia replied, “Alright. When I woke up, I didn’t see you anywhere, and there was thunder outside. I don’t know what cover me. I was very scared just now. I looked for you everywhere.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t leave without telling you ever again.”
Ethan felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. Crouching down, he picked her up in his arms and took her back to the room. “If
you can’t findin the future, just contactor Brent.
“Don’t worry about troubling me. We’re a married couple, so you can tellanything, alright?”
While Olivia settled into the warm bed, Ethan poured a glass of warm water for her. “You’ve been crying for so long. You must be thirsty now.”
Olivia drank swater to wet her throat. Her tears had stopped, but her eyes were still red. She looked like a little rabbit.
“What happened at the construction site? It’s so late at night.”
“Nothing important. I’m overseeing the project, so I can only rest assured after I take a look at it,” Ethan explained in brief. Then, he took off his coat.
Olivia noticed ssawdust on the black woolen coat. She thought that it was from the construction site, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Ethan returned to the bed. Then, he reached out and took Olivia into his arms. “It’s still early, so you can sleep a little while
longer. I’ll tell you a story.”
“Okay.”

She didn’t notice that she was becoming more dependent on Ethan by the day. She had spent several days with him now. Her initial suspicion had turned into familiarity.
She could see that he loved her for real. The look in his eyes and those tiny details couldn’t be faked.
Olivia realized that this man was deeply in love with her.
His fingers gently caressed her hair. He pampered her like a child.
She could feel the wedding ring on his ring finger. For the past few days, she never saw him taking it off.
It felt good to be loved. It felt so good that she could temporarily forget about losing her parents and her children. Her memory was blank, but she wasn’t scared in the least.
Her small hands trembled as they wrapped around Ethan’s waist.
Ethan froze. This tiny movement was proof that Olivia was beginning to open up to him. She was starting to accept him.
His heart leaped in joy, and he tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips.
“And so, the prince and the princess lived happily ever after. They were inseparable until the end.”
The woman in his arms had already fallen asleep. Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on her.
“Liv, we’ll also live happily for the rest of our lives, just like that fairy tale,” he thought.
