Chapter 583
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Turning to look at Ethan, she said, “You shouldn’t
say things like that.”
Ethan looked into the distance and said calmly, “People die all the time. If I get into an accident…”
“Accidents don’t happen that frequently. Stop saying things like that.” Olivia felt gloomy. She didn’t like
the word “accident”. She subconsciously placed a hand on her stomach.
They spent the rest of the trip in silence. Ethan brought Olivia to the closest mall, and they went
shopping. Then, they got some food and watched a movie like a normal couple.
It was already past 9:00 pm when they finished the movie. Also, it was getting cold out. So, there
weren’t a lot of people on the
streets.
Shiny decorations were hung up everywhere, illuminating the drifting snowflakes. The scene looked
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvery romantic.
“Are you cold?” Ethan asked.
“It’s fine. The car is just a short walk away.”
Ethan noticed the misty breath she exhaled from her mouth. So, he took off his coat and draped it over
her.
“Let’s go,” he said.
“But you …”
“I’m not cold.”
Ethan held her hand even tighter. Olivia had a feeling that he was afraid she would be gone if he let go.
She felt a tinge of happiness as she looked at Ethan’s big and warm hand wrapped around hers. It felt
like she had waited a long time for this to happen.
Olivia abruptly stopped in her tracks. Ethan waited for her patiently.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look, there’s a tree in front of you.”
There was a tree with a lot of red ribbons hanging from it. Christmas was approaching, and vendors
were trying to attract customers by setting up a wishing tree.
The tree in question was over a century old. Some marketing whiz utilized this tree for a promotional
event. Customers could get a ribbon if they spent over 800 dollars in the mall. They could get a strip of
ribbon when they showed their receipt.
Even though it was apparent that it was just a gimmick to drive sales up, many young couples still
participated in the event. But 800 dollars was no small amount, which was why there weren’t a lot of
ribbons on the tree.
Olivia stopped to take a picture and was ready to leave but noticed that Ethan had taken out a receipt
to redeem the ribbons. They had spent quite a bit at the mall, so Ethan received ten ribbons.
“This is obviously just a marketing gimmick,” Olivia complained. Ethan looked like he was a
materialistic person. Surely he wouldn’t fall for something like this?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan held the ribbons in one hand and a pen in the other. He slowly began to write down their names
on the ribbons carefully. He only raised his head after he had finished writing on all the ribbons.
He gazed at Olivia tenderly. “Liv, I’ve never been one for superstitions. But ever since you’ve been with
me, I just want to be with you for the rest of my life. I don’t care what supernatural forces I have to
believe in as long as my wish can be granted.”
Olivia muttered under her breath, “But how will it work if you don’t even know what to believe in?”
“I don’t care. All I care about is you.”
The twinkling lights that hung from the tree cast a gentle glow on Ethan’s face. Olivia could see his love
for her overflowing from his eyes. She felt like something tugged at her heartstrings.
“We have ten tries. Let’s throw them together.”
Olivia held five ribbons in her hands. Initially, she felt like it was just like a carnival game, but when she
saw Ethan’s serious expression, she began to take it seriously too.
There was a tiny ball tied to the end of each ribbon. They just needed to aim the ball at one of the
branches. It wasn’t that hard. Olivia aimed and threw one of her ribbons. The ball just barely missed the
closest branch.
