Even After Death

Olivia's brows furrowed. Although she was aware that Wayne was a rough man by nature, she couldn't accept hearing that from men other than Ethan.

After all, Ethan was raised in a rich family. Even during the worst time of their relationship, he never said such words to her.

"You'd better watch your language," she told Wayne off.

If he wanted to touch her, he could've done it two days ago. However, he was waiting, waiting for Alexander to lift the curse off her. Thus, she knew that she was safe, at least for now. Noticing that his threat didn't scare her, he let her go. He was discouraged. "Why are you so smart? This is so unfair."

Olivia stared at him warily. "Why did you bring me here? I'm looking for my daughter."

The next thing that happened was beyond her expectations. He kicked a screen in the room to reveal Willow sitting there, eating fruit yogurt.

"I made that myself. I wanted to speak to you, but I couldn't find the chance to do so. So, I asked for her help to lure you here." Wayne stood there like a lost puppy.

It was his first time putting himself lower just to make a woman happy.

Olivia was at her wit's ends. She came up to Willow. "How did he buy you off?"

Willow gestured, 'He said he'll protect you.'

Olivia stroked her head. "Alright."

Wayne pointed at another bowl. "Have some too. I specially made you fruit yogurt. It's refreshing in hot weather. They said that women love it." Yet, Olivia didn't move.

"I didn't poison it. If you don't believe me, I can show you." He became agitated to eat it to prove that it was safe.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Olivia sighed. Considering that they were in Wayne's territory, she was certain that Ethan and Wayne had reached a compromise. "Wayne, why are you doing this? I said I'll never like you."

"My feelings for you are my business." He looked at Willow. "Maybe your kids want to have a new father. Don't you think so, kid?" Willow choked on her food upon hearing that. Wayne quickly patted Willow's back. "Take it slow. It's okay."

He wasn't that gentle, and she was literally rolling her eyes.

Olivia hurriedly carried Willow away from him "Wayne Maxwell, if you have nothing better to do, you can find a woman and have a kid with her Experience what it's like to be a father. Stop wasting your time on

me." ś

"I just don't get it. What's so good about Ethan? Can't you consider me? How about giving me a chance?"

Olivia rejected him coldly, "Not a chance. I'm thinking of remarrying him. Just give up."

"Remarry?" Wayne heard her saying that loud and clear.

"

In the past, Olivia wasn't thinking of remarrying Ethan, so Wayne had always thought he had a chance.

Now that she said it herself, he could tell that she was serious about it.

With Willow in her hands, Olivia got up. "I'm grateful for the affirmative feelings you have for me, but I can't reciprocate your feelings. But since you've helped me once, I'd like to return the favor. Haven't you always wanted to know your true identity?"

"You know the truth?"

"Nothing's sure, but if you give me your hair or blood, the truth might come to light soon."

"Who are my family? Where are they?" he asked vehemently.

Olivia said seriously, "They didn't

"The Procters?"

"Yes. You and Ethan are cousins. His mother is your aunt."
