Wayne pushed himself against the warship, his face filled with a pained expression.
The look on Olivia's face was extremely cold, and she didn't fake anything at all.
Ethan fired more shots. The bullets rained down near Wayne's speedboat, causing waves to splash in Wayne's face.
"Wayne, I'll make you pay dearly for kidnapping my wife!"
With that, Ethan ordered his men to steer homeward.
Looking at the hurt man, Ike sighed silently. "She's already gone, Mr. Maxwell. Just give up. She doesn't love you."
The heart was the most important factor. Age and status didn't matter at all.
If she didn't like him, then she didn't. No matter who he was, he couldn't do anything about it.
"Why…" Wayne mumbled. After so many years, he finally met a woman like her, but the heavens refused to grant his wish.
Olivia leaned in Ethan's embrace.
"I thought that I would never see you again."
Back then, she seriously thought that Wayne would keep her trapped on the island forever.
"I'm sorry, Liv." Ethan had realized it too late, too. He hugged Olivia tightly.
He was extremely worried when he heard the news that Olivia had died.
A few days ago, when he couldn't find any leads, he spent every second in anxiety.
Fortunately, this was all in the past.
Olivia's arrival was like the parting of dark clouds. Even the winds and snow in Aldenvine had stopped.
Her children bounded toward her. "Mom!"
Gathering the children in her arms, Olivia teared up. "I'm sorry. You must have been so worried!"
"I'm fine. Everything went as planned. It's cold outside, and you have a weak body. Go back to your room and rest first."
It was only then that Molly sighed in relief. "I'm glad she's back in one piece."
Reaching up, Yale scratched the tip of her nose. "I promised you that I'd bring her home safely, didn't I?"
That night, the Heath family was finally in a festive mood. They had maids cook Olivia's favorite dishes to welcome her home.
Even though they had missed the New Year's festivities, with her family around her, Olivia felt extremely blissful.
In the big wide world, as long as their family was together, they had reason to celebrate every day.
The island was beautiful, but in the end, it wasn't her home. Her family wasn't there, either.
After Olivia had a refreshing shower, she saw Ethan hugging the children as he told them stories.
He said in his deep and attractive voice, "After that, the princess and the prince got married. They had several adorable children, and they lived happily ever after."
