Even After Death Novel (Olivia) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Olivia raised her gaze to meet eyes with Ethan, who was standing by the door.

He hadn’t changed into his pajamas before sleeping, so his shirt was crumpled with some undone buttons.

He leaned against the door frame lazily. His disheveled hair didn’t stop him from looking handsome as always.

Olivia was feeling guilty. She wasn’t able to completely cut ties with Ethan.

In addition to his unappeased anger during the day, she thought of the people from the island and was scared.

“I–I couldn’t sleep,” she explained anxiously while he slowly came up to her.

She was sitting on the floor, and the light cast his shadow over her.

Judging from his clear eyes, he appeared to be sober.

His dark eyes carried zero emotions, so she couldn’t read his mood.

Olivia hastily placed the documents into the safe while stammering on her words. “I was s–simply looking around.”

He held her wrist tightly.

Her chest tightened, and her instincts prompted her to beg for mercy. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have read your sister’s documents. Don’t be angry…”

He held her hand while staring at her.

He wondered since when the affection and resentment in her gaze had given way to fear.

“It’s getting late.” His voice was hoarse.

Olivia looked at him, confused.

Ethan set the documents in her hands aside and carried her. “You can take your time and read them during the day.”

She widened her eyes in surprise, thinking, “Does that mean I can enter his study and read his documents whenever I want?”

“I didn’t change the password because I didn’t want to hide it from you in the first place.” He saw through her.

Ethan placed Olivia on the soft bed and hugged her tightly once again.

“You should rest now.” His groggy voice sounded above her.

Their eyes intertwined midair. She could see the tiny dust particles dancing in the air too.

Her hand remained stiff in midair. Whether she withdrew her hand or not, it would be awkward.

While she was thinking of how to resolve the awkward situation, his hand around her waist tightened. He suddenly hovered over her to kiss her lips.
