DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 114
Chapter 114,
Olivia knew who it was without taking a look at the man.
Ethan was wearing a suit that perfectly outlined his built figure. The glint in his eyes was dangerous, as always.
She could recognize him through his sharp jaw alone, too.
His cedar scent wafted her nose, creating an intimate atmosphere in the back seat.
She stifled the urge to shove him away for her big plans.
She broke the silence first. “Where have you been?”
Now that she had gotten over him, she showed no interest in his life.
She wouldn’t take notice of his social media updates nor check his Twitter account repeatedly, let alone click his profile picture again and again.
Had Ethan not informed her to pick him up from the airport, she wouldn’t have known that he had been abroad.
“Work.” It was a succinct answer.
He wanted to talk about Leo, but it would ruin the atmosphere.
Olivia was sitting on his lap. Her body was warming his thighs.
In addition to the closed space, their intimate posture was a fluttering scene to behold.
The temptation was urging him to do something more.
His finger traced upward along her neck, sending tingling heat to her skin.
It finally stopped at her eyebrow. He observed her cheek carefully as his voice softened. “Is it healed?”
As the lighting flowed through the window, he noticed a scar on top of her eyebrow.
It was barely visible without a closer look.
His coarse fingertip rubbed her wound softly.
“Thank you for what you did that day.” His breath brushed her forehead lightly.
Olivia thought that he was being unusually gentle to her because she saved Connor.
She was suddenly intrigued to know Ethan’s reaction when she killed Connor one day.
He wouldn’t be as gentle as he was right now, for sure. She began to look forward to that day.
She wanted him to know how it felt like to lose his loved one.
Olivia replied indifferently, “It’s nothing. I was once a mother, too.”
Ethan’s arms tightened around her waist when he heard that.
She continued, “Any updates about Leo’s whereabouts?”
His eyebrows creased. He recounted the whole story without hiding anything. “I’ve announced a bounty on him. We’ll find him soon.”
She took it as an excuse because she had expected this coming.
She thought, “He wants Dad to die. Why will he spend the effort to look for Leo?
“He gave me his word back then so that I wouldn’t get in his way. What a great actor you are, Ethan Miller.”
Mockery tinged her gazes.
Meanwhile, Ethan took her silence as a disappointment, so he comforted her, “I will find him.”

“Okay.” She didn’t want to continue that boring topic anymore, so she switched the subject.
“It’s Connor’s birthday party in two days. Can I join?”
Her child passed away on Connor’s birthday.
Ethan was aware that her child’s death had always been her sore spot.
“You…”
She raised her head. The street lights reflected in her dark eyes as she licked her dry lips. “It’s been a year. I think it’s time for me to move on.”
