Ethan had always been clear with his feelings. Back then, when he hated Olivia, he was extremely cold to her. Now, he had sincerely repented, so he couldn't have done something so hypocritical.At least, Olivia didn't blame him for this matter."Liv…"Olivia took his hand and raised it. Then, she gently wiped away the blood on his hand and placed a band-aid on the wound."Come on, the children are still waiting for your food."Ethan lowered his head, meeting Olivia's gentle gaze. His heart ached terribly, and he felt extremely remorseful toward her.He had treated Olivia cruelly back then, but she was still willing to stay by his side and let bygones be bygones.The two interlaced their fingers in the snow as they walked back into the house.Ethan made the meal while the twins ran around outside. Willow was herb-imbued since birth, so she had an excellent physique. However, at that moment, she quietly stayed by Olivia's side.Olivia played chess with Willow. The room was so qu

Olivia leaned in Ethan's embrace, feeling as if everything was like a dream.She had returned to this house which had brought her joy and endless pain. Undoubtedly, she had shared sweet moments with Ethan when they were just married.Back then, she would learn to cook various dishes at home while waiting for Ethan to come back.She would take care of the flowers and plants in the yard over and over again. She would also wash all the clothes Ethan took off, dry them, iron them, and then place them back in the wardrobe.There would always be a bouquet of flowers on the table, which brought life to the house.After she lost her child, she wept every day. At that time, the house was like a cage that trapped her. She could no longer feel joy.It was especially so for the baby room she had decorated herself. After her incident of falling into the ocean, she would curl up on the small crib as she constantly thought about her premature son.Now, Olivia heard movements coming from that r

As it turned out, Mason was even happier than expected. He had two children, but Molly had only recently returned to the family. They didn't even know if she could get pregnant in the future.Much less could be said of Linus. He had been single since birth, and he didn't even have a woman he fancied, let alone any plans of expanding the family.Now, Olivia had returned with four children. Mason was so elated that he instantly seemed to have gotten a few years younger. He had a joyous expression on his face."Come, let me have a look at the children."He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. The children ran up to him, saying, "Great-grandpa!""Hello, darlings." Mason was elated. He looked at each child in turn, and his eyes were filled with joy.As Tatiana didn't like Olivia in the past, she definitely wouldn't have liked Olivia's children then either. Now that Tatiana had reconciled with Olivia, she was happy to see the children as well."I've seen these wonderful child

Olivia didn't reveal the issue she had with Yale. Ethan had his own life, and his issue with Yale was his business to deal with.She didn't want to join the fray."Nothing. I went to the kitchen to check on today's dinner.""You're meticulous as always." Ethan shoved her hands into his pockets to give her warmth.They were such a perfect match.Still, Ethan knew that that wasn't the truth. He had clearly witnessed her leaving alongside Yale. He just knew that she didn't want to bring it up.Despite what Leia had done, Olivia didn't take her anger out on him. Ethan was aware that their relationship could never return to the way it was.The wife who only had her eyes on him and waited for him at home every day was now gone.At present, Olivia possessed everything that she desired. Love was not her priority. He was one of her priorities, but not the one and only.The epiphany hit home to him, but he didn't dare to show it. After all, he didn't have the right to do so; he wa

Connor took after Ethan the most. He was sensitive and gentle yet bashful.Olivia caressed the back of Connor's head. "Baby, this is your home now. We're your family. You can do anything you want. No one will blame you."As soon as she said that, the insensible Zack breezed into the room and jumped onto the bed. "Connor, save me!"Huffing, Alicia grabbed Connor's arm. "Connor, you gotta help me! Zack is the bad guy!"The kids messed around, and Connor gradually warmed up to them.At the end of the day, Zack and Alicia slept beside Connor—one on his left, one on his right.Connor was so tired from all the play. The sight of them sleeping together elicited a warm smile from Olivia.She lay next to Willow, who naturally curled into her embrace. The warmth in her arms filled her chest with bliss.Everything was perfect.Late at night, Olivia felt an arm sliding beneath her legs. The next second she knew it, she was lifted into someone else's arms.The smell of alcohol alone was e
