Even After Death Novel (Olivia) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Ethan had so much to say to her, but he only managed to blurt out a curt response. “Let’s go.”

They seemed to be bound to a silent understanding not to bring up the past. Once they completed the procedure, they were officially divorced.

Olivia didn’t say a word throughout the process and turned to leave once the divorce was finalized. He couldn’t help but ask, ” What are your plans after this?”

She didn’t even turn around to look at him. “It’s none of your business, Mr. Miller.”

A piece of snow fell from the tree branch onto her shoulder. Ethan reflexively reached out to wipe it off, but his fingers froze mid–air when he realized that he had no right to do so.

The reason he set her free was to put an end to the grudges between them.

The sunny winter day reminded him of the weather on the day they got married. She was lovely in her white bridal dress, wearing a bright smile.

That day, she joked with him, “I hope we’ll never need to visit this place anymore.”

“Never.”

“But what if you cheat on me?”

“Kill me, then. A dead man can’t cheat.” The seriousness in his expression then might’ve scared her a little.

It had only been three years since that conversation took place on their wedding day.

“Fucking cheaters!” Everly spat and wiped away the tears on Olivia’s cheeks. “Don’t waste your tears on that bastard.”

Olivia tried her best to put on a smile. “I know. I lost control of myself for a moment there.”

“You little dummy. You have to understand that you cannot rely on anyone. A man could be your safe harbor one day and leave you out in the cold the next. I haven’t seen you wearing your confidence in a long time. You should have shone brightly in your world, living your best life.”

Olivia gave Ethan a final look before winding up the car window.

He returned the stare, which he knew was one of farewell.
