Ethan had only uttered one word, but Mona's knees went weak. Dropping to the floor, Mona said, "Mr. Miller, I'll tell! I'll tell you everything!"Ethan frowned, thinking that Mona gave in a little too soon. He hadn't even pressured her."Go ahead.""I felt that it was a pity to throw away the roses we trimmed from the garden, so I sold them at night for a dollar each."I didn't mean to be greedy. I just need money, and my grandmother has gotten sick, too. I'm sorry, Mr. Miller. I won't do that again."Ethan frowned even deeper. "That's what you wanted to say?"Mona wiped her tears. "There's more. I'll tell you everything. "When I was trimming the trees, my hand slipped, and I accidentally trimmed the heart shape into an apple."Mr. Miller, please don't question my work etiquette. I was just a little feverish that day."Holding his fingers against his forehead, Ethan had a look of annoyance on his face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"I'm asking you to tell me about

Ethan had heard many people say the same thing. They all wanted him to treat Olivia better. But in the end, he still forced Olivia into her current situation."Alright, I understand. She's wary of me, so she doesn't want me to know that she's pregnant. "You don't have to tell her anything; just take care of her."If there's something odd about her, just tell me. I will do my best to meet her needs in the Manor of Roses."Mona replied, "Understood, Mr. Miller. I knew that your love for Ms. Fordham was real."The simple-minded Mona didn't even realize that she had fully betrayed Olivia."You may leave now."After the door of the study closed, Ethan put a hand to his forehead. He dialed Chris Atkins' number with his other hand."Mr. Miller, did something happen to your wife this late at night?" Chris was already used to it by now. He knew that if Ethan called him, the matter would usually concern Olivia.Staring at the streetlights in the distance, Ethan was silent for a few

After Ethan learned of Olivia's pregnancy, he spent every second in pain and suffering. He suppressed the beast, hiding deep within his heart, fearing that it might hurt Olivia.Even so, the rage in his chest only grew stronger. His jealousy had changed him.He asked himself time and again why the child wasn't his. He wouldn't have to suffer so much if he was the father.As Brent bandaged Ethan's wounds, he said, "Mr. Miller, please calm down. Please stop hurting yourself."Ethan smiled bitterly. "Brent, if it were you, what would you do?""Mr. Miller, I don't have a wife yet, so I won't make assumptions. I can't give you any useful advice."Brent knew that Ethan was like a tired person driving on the highway. His whole body was tense. If he so much as slacked off for even a moment, he might very well die.Brent didn't dare suggest anything, nor was he able to.Olivia and Ethan had turned out like this, mainly because of Leia.Both women were important to Ethan. No matte

Ethan had brought Olivia and Jeff back from the island in a hurry. Ever since then, he didn't pay much attention to Avery.Ethan did hear that Avery had gone back to his home country, though. By the looks of it, Avery didn't intend to return to Aldenvine and take Olivia from him.In other words, Olivia was probably a toy Avery played with on a whim. He wasn't sincere at all.Ethan was extremely furious about it.The woman he loved the most was pregnant with someone else's child, but that someone didn't even care about it.Ethan didn't know how he should treat Olivia. For the past few days, he tried to convince himself to accept it. But his mind couldn't let go of the thought that the child wasn't his.He couldn't peacefully treat the child as his own. In another 20 days or so, Olivia would be able to undergo the operation.Olivia's health wasn't too great, and she looked very thin. She needed to nourish her body before the operation.Once again, Ethan asked someone to deliv

Standing behind Olivia, Mona noticed that Olivia had been hesitating for a long while. There was a puzzled expression on her face as she asked, "Ms. Fordham, are the clothes not nice enough?""No, they all look very nice. I'm just feeling a little sad."Mona didn't know about the history between Olivia and Ethan. So, she couldn't understand what the sadness meant."Choose one for me." Olivia decisively looked away. She was too used to wearing cheap clothes, so she only felt at a loss when faced with those luxurious outfits.Standing in front of the wardrobe, Mona picked out the clothes as she muttered, "Ms. Fordham, you have a good figure, and you're good-looking, too. You even have fair skin."You're just like a model, so you'd look good even if you're wearing a sack."She selected a white dress. It had an elegant design and was well-tailored, too. It looked graceful in every aspect."This one, then. I think it suits you very much, Ms. Fordham."Olivia put on the white dress. Smilin
