Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1183

At that moment, Olivia remembered the arrogance that she had seen on Marina and Krystal's faces.

They were able to be so cocky because they had the love of their families supporting them. Their family would help them no matter what they did.

Things had changed for her, too. She had family. She was no longer alone.

It was getting late. Linus brought her back to the guest room she used to stay in. He stood at the door hesitatingly, with snow still falling heavily outside.

Olivia broke the silence. "Uncle Linus, is there anything else?"

"I had feelings for you before."

Olivia met his gaze and smiled. "Yeah, I know."

It wasn't something he could be proud of. It was going to be something embarrassing he would think back to for years to come.

Olivia could imagine how awkward he was feeling.

She said gently, "Maybe you felt close to me because we're family. I can understand that. Just like how I felt inexplicably close to Mr. Heath."

She was able to do away with the awkwardness with a single sentence. She possessed way more emotional intelligence than his dumb sister Krystal.

"I know you lead a hard life before this. Since you're part of the Heath Family now, no one will be able to bully you."

That was Linus' promise to her. Since they couldn't become lovers, he would watch over her as her uncle.

Olivia smiled. "Thanks, Uncle Linus."

He patted her on the head. "Rest well."

"All these years, you've been fighting with Yale. Mr. Heath was forcing you to marry Krystal a while back. Now, you don't have to do that anymore. Isn't that great?"

"What do you know? Have you forgotten that Mr. Heath is very protective of his own? I've done so much to hurt Olivia in the past.

"He would probably be happy to see me dead. He wouldn't let me off the hook."

Kelvin thought about it for a moment. "Maybe even worse. He might get the Tiger Squad chop off your limbs and throw you into the ocean."

The Tiger Squad was a covert special forces unit that was under Linus' command. Not even Ethan had power over them.

"It was already going to be hard to mend my relationship with Liv. Now, it seems like it would be impossible for me to marry her again."

"There's no use feeling sad, Mr. Miller. I think this is fine. Mrs. Miller has had a hard life. With Mr. Heath by her side, things will start to get better for her."
