Even After Death Novel (Olivia) novel Chapter 1135

Ethan smiled half-heartedly. "When Vanessa was treating me back then, we spent every waking hour together. I know a thing or two about her habits."

Ethan's reply was completely fine. However, Linus wondered if he was hearing things, for he felt like Ethan had emphasized the words "spent every waking hour together".

After Ethan said that, he looked away as if he had never said anything.

In an attempt to avoid trouble, Olivia didn't say anything more to him. She tried not to draw attention.

After all, it was a banquet, not some outdoor restaurant. The dining atmosphere was very quiet, and only the sounds of the piano being played live could be heard.

Olivia looked at the dishes, presented like a masterpiece. Even common vegetables were carved into the shape of flowers.

After the banquet, Mason excused himself. He said that he wanted the youngsters to mingle around.

It was a clear sign that he had intended for this banquet to be a blind date of sorts. Tatiana was taking the opportunity to check out the potential candidates who could become Linus' bride.

The women who received the invitations all came from wealthy families. They were genuine rich young ladies, and every movement they made was elegant and graceful.

Also, as expected, they all had high academic achievements.

They excelled in terms of both family and academic background. In contrast, looks didn't quite matter.

Tatiana nudged Linus. "It's a rare occasion for you to come back and stay for so many days, so let's get your marriage settled while you're at it. Have a look at the women here."

Linus held the unlit cigarette between his teeth, looking a little upset. "Mom, I don't intend to get married yet."

"You're in your 30s, so you should start thinking about it. Look at Ethan. His son can even go on missions now, but you're still single. No matter what, you have to try getting along with women."

"Women are troublesome."

"What's so troublesome about them? Hurry and go ahead. The women who turned up tonight look quite decent to me. In terms of personality and academic achievements, all of them are worthy of you.

"Remember, this is your dad's order too. No matter what, you'll have to get a dance partner later!"

Ethan turned to look at Linus. "What were you going to say?"

Linus had to force back the words he was about to say. "Nothing. I was just going to ask Vanessa if she needs anything."

Smiling, Olivia said, "Thank you. It's quite lively tonight, and I like it a lot. I don't need anything."

"If there's anything Vanessa needs, I'll help her with it. You should talk to the other guests," Ethan said sincerely.

Linus had no choice but to change his mind. "Alright, please take good care of Vanessa."

When Linus had turned around and left, the sincere look remained on Ethan's face as he gently pinched Olivia's waist. "You're quite something. Even he—"

"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Linus?"

Ethan looked away. "It's nothing."
