Even After Death by Lilting Champ

Olivia had known Ethan for years.
She knew when something was wrong with him.
"Are you hiding something from me? Is it news about my dad?" Ethan ruffled her hair.
"No.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
You haven't rested much in the past few days.
You should take a break.
I'll monitor the situation for you." Olivia didn't feel the urge to sleep at all, but her body had been showing signs of fatigue.
She knew she should get some rest.
She sighed.
There was nothing she could do but go back to her room and rest as she waited for updates.
She was very anxious.
She wanted to do something for the Fordham family and David.
The Fordham family was in a huge mess.
She didn't want to risk making a wrong move.
Ethan comforted her gently until she fell asleep.
Then, he received a call from Brent.
"Mr.
Miller, the person who's tailing Ms.
Miller reported back.

She's in disguise and heading toward that villa in the suburbs." Ethan's people knew that David was in that villa.
That was a very dangerous place.
Leia knew that, but she decided to go anyway.
Brent had to tell Ethan about such crucial information.
"I know that already." "Should I stop her? It's very dangerous there." Ethan looked up at the moon.
It was a sight to behold.
Everything looked especially forlorn under the moonlight.
He paused for a second before he made his decision.
"No need.
She's an adult.
She knows what she's doing, so she should be responsible for her actions." "But..." "We don't need to intervene.
Her fate is in her own hands now." "Understood." Brent also understood what Ethan was going through.
Back then, Leia forced Ethan to make a choice between herself and Olivia.
He chose her sister, and that decision caused him to feel pain and regret for many years.
He had enough of that feeling.
He wasn't going to make the same mistake again.
Besides, Olivia didn't owe Leia anything.
It was the Miller family that owed Olivia a lot.
The two of them were already divorced, but Olivia would always be his wife to him.
She was also her family.

He wasn't about to let his wife down another time—even if this decision meant he might lose Leia.
Ethan lit up a cigarette under the moonlight.
He looked lonely and helpless.
Olivia stood behind him and watched silently.
Avery had just revealed the entire plan to her.
She didn't tell Ethan about it because she wanted to know the answer to that question.
She had asked him a long time ago.
Who would he choose if he had to pick between Leia and her? Ethan gave her the perfect answer that night.
He felt her gaze.
So, he turned around to meet her gaze as he reflexively snuffed out the cigarette he was holding.
"What woke you up? "T never fell asleep in the first place," Olivia said.
Ethan knew what she meant.
"You heard everything?" "Yeah." Ethan sighed helplessly.
"What would you do if I had chosen her instead?" Olivia walked toward him and dove into his arms.
"I know you wouldn't.
You care about me." They hugged each other tightly.
Ethan kissed her on the head.
"I just want you and the kids to be happy." "Ethan, let's get married again when we go back to Aldenvine." 2 "Okay."
