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

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." 1
That was Linus' promise to her. Since they couldn't become lovers, he would watch over her as her
uncle. i
Olivia smiled. "Thanks, Uncle Linus."
He patted her on the head. "Rest well."
Olivia closed the door.
Linus took a deep breath. Who could say for sure if his feelings for her were romantic or familial?
But this was fine as well. At least he could watch over her forever as her uncle. It was good.
It was a sleepless night for many people.
Olivia tossed and turned in bed. Everything that happened that day felt like a dream.
She had a grandfather and an uncle who was only slightly older than her. It was a very ridiculous turn
of events.
Who would've known her grandfather was someone so important? 1
Ethan couldn't sleep either. He smashed three ashtrays in the study.
Kelvin carefully handed him the fourth. He rubbed his nose and said, "Mr. Miller, it's a happy thing for
Mrs. Miller to find her family. Why are you unhappy?
"All these years, you've been fighting with Yale. Mr. Heath was forcing you to marry Krystal a while
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback. 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. 5
"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." 3
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." 3
"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."
