There wasn't any change in Linus' tone. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm a doctor, Mr. Heath. I know my condition very well. Thanks for the concern. It's getting cold. You should rest up."
The footsteps faded out, and Ethan buried his face in her neck. "Linus has taken a liking to you."
Linus and Olivia had been getting along as friends, and he had been showing an interest in her.
Although Olivia thought that it was not that likely, she could feel that he was paying a little too much attention to her.
She couldn't distinguish the cause of such attention, whether it was due to love or gratitude.
"Don't take everything as a love matter."
Ethan bent over to carry her to the bed. "You're still as naive as ever, Liv. There's no such thing as pure goodwill. When a man cares for a woman, it can't be anything else than love."
Her tresses lay across the sheet. He held a strand of it to his nose to sniff it. "Unfortunately, you're mine and can only be mine."
The night was meant to be a crazy night.
…
Tatiana brought over a basin of water to Mason's side. Tatiana had mixed Olivia's herbs in it so that he could have a foot spa.
"Mason, we've known each other for decades. We've been through thick and thin together. Now, we're already over 70 years old. Time really does fly."
He realized something. "No wonder you insisted on me hosting this party. You told me that you wanted to look for someone suitable for Linus. But you're actually up to something else!
"Have you ever thought about your identity? Put the possibility of success aside, even if the plan is successful, do you want Ethan to look down on us forever?"
Tatiana's expression turned cold. "I only know that you taught me that there's nothing I can't do as long as I give my all in whatever I do."
Mason placed his hand over his chest. "Did I say that so that you could do such shameless deeds? You're seriously going to give me a heart attack. Where are they? Stop them! Hurry!"
She sneered. "It's too late. The maid told me that she heard noises coming from the room. I'm afraid Ethan is giving Krystal all his love, mistaking her for Olivia."
He slapped her. "Just what did you do!"
