Even After Death のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 641 - チャプター 650

Before Olivia could make sense of the situation, Janice had already walked away, leaving Olivia confused. Olivia batted her eyes at Ethan and whispered, "What is your mother thinking?""Come try some authentic Grovale cuisine." Ethan didn't answer her question. Instead, he led her to the dining room. Janice was already seated when they entered. She glanced at their interlaced fingers, and her gaze froze momentarily. Nikki brought over a bowl of soup and saw Ethan pulling out a chair for Olivia. He sat down after Olivia took her seat. Then, he brought the appetizer, which was placed quite far away, before Olivia. If he was just putting on a show as a loving husband in public, why would he do it here when there were no outsiders?There was only one explanation. It was how the two of them interacted on a daily basis, like a regular couple. Looking back at herself, Nikki was trying to curry favor with Janice, but she ended up looking like a cook. She put the soup down and s

Ethan looked at Janice with mild surprise. "I thought you didn't care about us. I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."Janice needed to raise her head slightly to meet Ethan's gaze. She felt a little emotional when she heard that. "You were still the little kid that chased after me in my mind. But you've grown so much."Janice raised her hand to touch Ethan's face, but she stopped midway. She had always had mixed feelings toward Ethan. In the beginning, she hoped that his birth would make the man come back to her. But, all she got was his cruel disregard. That was why she resented Ethan. She had never been a good mother to him. Even as he stood before her, she felt like she didn't know him at all. Janice withdrew her hand awkwardly with a disappointed expression. "You and Leia must detest me. I've never given the both of you any love." "What's the point of saying all this now? He didn't return to you, but you gave birth to his offspring anyway and became a laughings

Ethan's gaze grew intense. "What else do you know?""Judging by your reaction. My guess was spot on. I don't mean anything by it. I just wanted to meet the two of you. But there's something I need to tell you. "People in our family are flawed. We're stubborn and dedicated. Once we fall in love with someone, it lasts for the rest of our lives. It's a double-edged sword."Janice said sincerely, "Both your father and I weren't able to teach you to love. Ethan, I don't want you to follow in my footsteps. "Love is never one-sided wishful thinking. My biggest regret was the things I did to your father. My actions caused permanent trauma to you and your sister." Her words seemed surreal to Ethan. He never imagined that Janice would say something like that. "I'll take good care of her."He paused before saying, "Since you know about Ms. Rosa, can you find something out for me? It's Liv's origins." "Oh?" Janice was surprised. "She isn't Jeff Fordham's daughter. Ms. Rosa is the on

The meeting with her mother-in-law went smoother than Olivia expected. She kept staring at the pretty bracelet, which seemed to look prettier with age. She didn't put it on but was examining it closely. She subconsciously felt that the bracelet didn't belong to her. "Do you like it?" Ethan's voice suddenly came from behind her. Olivia jumped in fright. She was too focused on the bracelet and didn't notice Ethan coming in. "Yeah, it looks nice."Ethan picked up the bracelet and said gently, "I'll help you put it on."Olivia pulled her hand away reflexively and said, "Not right now. This is such a valuable piece. I should only wear it to important events. "I'm not in the habit of wearing jewelry, anyway. So I don't want to wear it now."Ethan was stunned, but he didn't call her out. "Okay, whatever you want."Although Olivia was with Ethan every day, she still didn't fall in love with him. She felt some affection for him, at best. Ethan even felt like Olivia was hidin

Olivia quickly clarified, "Mr. Harold, I'm Liv, not Ms. Nat. Please come to your senses."Harold stared at her for a while and tightened his grip on her wrist."Impossible. You are clearly Ms. Nat. You can't fool me. What's this Liv nonsense?"Olivia was rendered speechless. She didn't understand why all of the Millers seemed to have some mental issues.Ethan appeared just as Olivia was at a loss for what to do. He came forward and pulled Harold's hand from Olivia."Grandpa, this is my wife. You made a mistake.""Stop spewing nonsense. How can Ms. Nat be your wife? And brat, who are you calling Grandpa? I don't even have a son, much less a grandson."Ethan looked at Harold with pain in his eyes. Harold loved him a lot when he was young, even though Harold was very strict with him.Harold was someone important to Ethan. He felt bad when he saw that the once successful businessman had become a senile older man who didn't recognize his own family.Harold instinctively tried to grab Olivia
