As their eyes met, Olivia suddenly leaped off the ground. Just as she had done in the snake den, she held Ethan tightly."Damn it, who permitted you to run away? Do you know how worried I was about you?"Ethan knelt on the ground on one knee. His eyes widened as shock filled his face.Last night, Olivia had said so certainly that she hated him and found him disgusting.He thought that he didn't have a chance anymore. He chose to leave so that she could stop crying and he wouldn't be an eyesore to her.But Olivia's embrace made him feel like the dying embers in the fireplace were rekindled. His heart began to thump wildly, and his suppressed emotions were slowly revived."Liv, what did you just say …"Pulling away from his arms, Olivia said through gritted teeth, "I said that I was very worried about you, alright?"Grabbing his collar, she jerked him forward. Then, she raised her head and planted a kiss on Ethan's lips.Ethan felt like his mind had just exploded.What was he s

Olivia found a large shirt of Ethan's. After changing into it, she hastily lay in the sleeping bag.Ethan came back soon enough. Olivia poked only her head out of the sleeping bag. It reminded him of when they were just getting used to each other when they were newlyweds.Even though Ethan was wearing waterproof clothes, he was quite wet as well. Taking off his jacket, he placed it on the rack. He was wearing a white T-shirt underneath.Because of the moisture, his shirt was snug against his body. The lines of his muscles were completely exposed.Ethan asked in a low voice, "Liv … Can I take off my top?"After what happened last night, he didn't dare stimulate Olivia again.Olivia turned away. "Okay."Taking off his top, Ethan placed it on the rack as well. When he saw Olivia looking away, he smiled like an idiot.He felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe that Olivia risked her life to look for him. If this wasn't love, then what was?Ethan suddenly felt that all this

Ethan crouched on the ground and began putting together the bamboo he had cut beforehand.While the meat was roasting, he gathered some bark and vines. After some adjustments, he turned them into rope.His upper body was still bare. When he crouched on the ground, he revealed his scar-filled back. He looked very manly indeed.Lowering his head, Ethan began to work. He explained, "I'm worried that the ground is dirty and there are bugs, so I cut some bamboo to make a simple bed. You can sleep more comfortably at night."He was used to these things, so he could build the bed within 30 minutes.He had also gathered some leaves and hay at the side. He had already dried them by the fire, so they weren't wet at all. Olivia wondered where he found them in the heavy rain.If she claimed that she didn't feel anything, she would be lying."It's just a night's sleep. You don't have to go through all that trouble.""If it's you, it's no trouble for me." Ethan didn't even turn around as he

After washing up, Olivia felt much more relaxed. Her thoughts slowly turned clear, and she had already decided something in her heart.When she turned around and came back, she saw Ethan toiling away.He was busy making a fish trap. Before he set out, he brought a lot of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water. He also brought some fruit along.He was planning to go as fast as possible. He would just drink water from some mountain springs and pick some wild fruits to eat along his way.The rain and Olivia's sudden presence had messed up his plans. By the looks of it, it would probably rain tomorrow as well. Ethan hastily weaved a fish trap, making preparations to catch fish.Before Olivia realized it, she was sitting on the bamboo bed he had made. Her fair legs were swaying lightly."Aren't you tired?" Olivia asked.Of course, he was tired. He hadn't slept the whole night, and he had also toiled for the whole day. It was extremely hot near the fire too. His forehead and bod

The storm swept everything in its wake, and the tender flower kept swaying in the gale. Countless petals were blown onto the ground.Sometime later, the rain gradually stopped.Olivia lay in Ethan's embrace.She suspected that Ethan had done this on purpose. He had the time to make a double bed, so why couldn't he make it a little wider?They were lying next to each other on the four-foot-wide bed. Ethan even had a strong figure of more than six feet tall. It truly was a little crowded for Olivia.She had no choice but to stick to Ethan. If not, she would have to lie on the floor.The sleeping bag had been taken apart, turning into a blanket that covered their bodies. Under the sleeping bag, the two lay naked.They could feel each other's skin and also each other's temperature and contours.To be honest, they didn't even stick so close to each other on their wedding night!After all, Ethan had limited himself too much back then. He had to suppress his truest desires in everyth
