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.

She stared at the silver button on his shirt that reflected the moonlight.

His heartbeat was pounding into her ears due to the proximity.

Confused, she couldn’t follow him at all.

“If you don’t wanna sleep, I don’t mind continuing our unfinished deeds from the day,” he suddenly said.

She was surprised and hurriedly shut her eyes. She stayed still

She deemed that he wasn’t in his right state of mind.

Ethan stared deeply at the sleeping Olivia, who was curled in his arms.

It had been a long time since they last slept in each other’s embrace.

The next morning, his handsome face appeared in her sight the moment she opened her eyes.

It was as though time had returned to three years ago when she could see him whenever she woke up.

A few strands of his fringe rested on his forehead, tickling his furrowed eyebrows. The sleeping man

appeared harmless.

There was a thin layer of stubble around his tense jaw.

Olivia instinctively reached out to smoothen the crease between his brows.

Her hand halted midair when she recalled that they were divorced. When she was going to withdraw

her hand, Ethan opened his eyes.

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.
