Chapter 386
The light disappeared from Olivia’s eyes. Putting down the towel, she said coldly, “Go ahead and bathe
him. I’ll go change my clothes.”
With that, she strode out of the room without waiting for Ethan’s reaction.
She couldn’t bring herself to hurt a child, but she couldn’t bear to see Ethan pampering Connor
either.
She couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if her child were still alive. She wondered if things
would’ve turned out differently by now.
But in reality, it wouldn’t change much. Bringing him into this world would only endanger him.
After all, she couldn’t even ensure her safety.
Ethan quickly came in after her. Olivia was changing her clothes, so arge area of her fair skin
entered his line of sight.
Olivia cried out, and Ethan quickly turned around.
Soon, he realized something. They had done even the most intimate of acts, but they reacted as
if they were strangers.
Even his instincts were telling him that they were getting further away. He didn’t even realize
1.
After Olivia had changed her clothes, Ethan came back in.
“Where’s the kid? Don’t tell me you left a small child alone in the bathroom!”
“Don’t worry, I let Mina take over. I have something to talk to you about.”
“Oh.”
Olivia wore a short-sleeved top, but she didn’t feel like it was enough. She took a coat and put it on,
covering herself firmly. She feared that even a little bit of her skin would be exposed.
Ethan felt dissatisfied with her actions. But he was running out of time, so he didn’tment

much on that. He immediately voiced his reasons foring back.
“I’ll go with Mr. Carlton to meet the Toxic Hive tonight.”
“I’m not your wife. You don’t have to report your whereabouts to me.”
Olivia spoke indifferently as she sat down. Taking a random book, she looked at it.
“Liv, do you have to be like this?”
Closing the book, Olivia looked up at him, returning the question. “Then what do you want me to do,
Ethan? Care about you? Which identity am I assuming? Your ex-wife? Or your enemy?”
Ethan clenched his fists. “So we can’t return to the past anymore? For real?”
“The past? You’ve never experienced my suffering, but you mentioned the past so nonchntly. What
past should I be talking about? We were a proper family, but we ended up like this in the end.
“What do you want me to do? What can I even do?”
Her eyes were filled with mockery, and Ethan felt his heart breaking when he saw that. cing his
hands on her shoulders, he said earnestly, “Liv, I told you that I’ll give you a proper answer.
“Toxic Hive is a dangerous andplicated organization. You don’t have any evidence, but you insist
that a dead person is the murderer. How can I believe you?”
Olivia peeled his fingers off of her. “It’s not important whether you believe it or not. What matters is that
one day, I’ll shove the evidence in your face and tell you that you were wrong!”
Ethan felt fear when he saw her determined gaze. His sixth sense told him that he was right to have
hidden the truth. If Olivia learned of it, they would truly never go back to the past again.
“Liv, take good care of Connor tonight. He likes you a lot.” Ethan changed the topic.
Olivia wanted to argue more, but Connor had already put on his clothes. He ran toward the two with
some drool on his face.
He kept mumbling, “Mummy, Mummy …”
Olivia couldn’t be mad at Connor even if he were Marina’s son. When she had returned to her senses,
the child was already in her arms.
Ethan sighed in relief. “Don’t go anywhere tonight. Wait for my news.”
Olivia ignored him. After standing there for a moment, Ethan left.
Olivia heard the sounds of the car engine downstairs getting more distant. Holding Connor in her arms,
Olivia stood at the window and watched the car disappear into the night.
Connor yawned. He was getting sleepy. Olivia put him to bed, then patted his back like she used to
when they were on the ind.
Connor gripped a button of her pajamas, burying his little face in her chest. He quickly fell asleep.
From time to time, he would smack his chubby pink lips. “Mummy.”
Olivia’s heart melted from how cute he was.
It was gettingte. Oliviay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Her phone screen notified her of a new
message.
