Chapter 821
Olivia counted the days. Logan had been with her for around half a year.
They went from being distant to him becoming a full-tnanny for her child. He helped care for Alicia without any complaints and she had long since dropped her guard with him.
“I…” But Olivia was reluctant to tell him. The story was too long, and she didn’t know where to start.
“It’s okay, I’m very tight-lipped. I’ll never tell anyone else.”
Olivia glanced at Alicia and said, “Maybe later.”
“Okay.” Ethan wasn’t in a rush. He waited for around half a year for her to open up. He didn’t mind waiting for a while longer.

When Olivia walked over, he stood up. “Ms. Fordham.”
“No need to stand. Let’s sit and talk.”
“Okay.”
Ethan had prepared a glass of juice for her. They sat under a parasol as the sea breeze blew toward them gently.
Olivia took a sip. It was fresh lemonade. The taste was refreshing with a sour tinge.
“Are you willing to hear a story?”
“It’s my pleasure.”
Olivia set the glass down and gazed at the ocean. “The story starts from that one accident at sea…
This was the first tEthan heard about their story from Olivia’s perspective. He never knew she fell for him the moment he rescued her.
She didn’t mention all the reprehensible things he did to her over the years. She only glossed over them.
Ethan fell into a deep silence after she finished talking.
He had experienced the sthings as her, but hearing her recounting the events felt like he was putting salt on her wounds.
He had the urge to slap himself.
“I’m already divorced, but he is a very obsessive man. He will never give up on whatever he decides on. If he knew where I was, he would definitely takeand my child prisoner.”
Olivia used a very harsh word-prisoner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan collected his thoughts before speaking.
He said, “Judging from what you said, your ex-husband must have loved you a lot. Maybe he just wants to protect you and your child and doesn’t plan to hurt you.
“Besides, they’re his children too. He might be overjoyed if he knew they were still alive. Have you ever thought about getting back with him?”
“Impossible!” Olivia turned down that notion without hesitation. “I’ll never go back to him, not for the rest of my life. Love was not an excuse for him to hurt me. I won’t deny that he might’ve loveda lot. But he hurtrepeatedly under the guise of love. His actions hurttoo deeply.”
Intense hatred appeared in Olivia’s eyes when she said that. “If not for him, my adoptive father would still be alive. I would still have a home. My son would still be alive.”
Olivia raised her hand. “He didn’t just hurtemotionally. This is proof of the physical harm he caused
No matter how many evil deeds his sister committed, despite her multiple attempts on my life, he still sided with her and shotwithout hesitation.
“If I forgave him, I would be doing myself a disservice. All the suffering I had been through, the blood I shed, and the pain I felt would have been for nothing.”
Even if her hand had recovered, it would never return to how it was, at least not in the foreseeable future.
The scar was also forever carved on her skin and on her heart.
“I hate him with every fiber of my being. I despise him. I would never live with that monster, even if it were for the children’s sake.”
