Chapter 1087
"Yeah. This is my temporary home in Aldenvine.
"You aren't planning on moving, right? This entire house is designed based on your
preference. You picked out this furniture yourself, right?"
Ethan knew her well.
Olivia nodded. "Yeah. I was born and raised in Aldenvine. I wanted to have a home here."
That was why she spent so much money to acquire the medical equipment. She wanted to
be prepared for every occasion.
Ethan felt bad when he heard that. "Liv. I'm sorry."
She used to have a home.
When the Fordhams went bankrupt, their residence was seized. Even if it was reacquired
later, it was no longer her home.
The house she lived in when she married Ethan was filled with unpleasant memories.
Marina lived in Collington Cove before, and the apartment belonged to Keith.
This was the only house she bought herself and never belonged to anyone else. She

"It's all in the past. I'll make you some pasta."
Olivia quickly headed to the kitchen.
Ethan looked at the flowers on the dining table. Olivia was still the same. She placed some
fresh flowers there.
The main color in the living room was beige. It looked very warm.
Ethan took a look around the house. He was like a lion that was surveying his territory.
He took a cup of water and was about to sit down and take a break when he dropped his
car keys.
When he crouched down to pick them up, he noticed a shade of red under the couch. The
bright color stood out against the beige-colored couch. It was hard to miss.
It was blood. It was a new stain that had been left there not more than ten hours ago. But
why would there be blood under the couch?
Ethan looked at the spotless floor. It was so clean it was also shining. Then, Ethan thought
about the rug he saw when he walked in.
A thought began to form in his mind.
Someone had bled all over the rug. The blood was everywhere, and it got under the
couch.
Olivia missed it when she was cleaning.
There was indeed a reason for her hasty departure.
Ethan's eyes darkened. Who was the injured person? Why was the person injured? Was the
person still in the vicinity?
Questions popped up in his head.
After a while, Olivia brought two plates of pasta out while wearing an apron. She looked
like she was a housewife like she used to be. Ethan couldn't see anything suspicious about
her.
Olivia had matured. The Olivia of the past was like an open book. She had grown to be
able to keep her emotions hidden when she was with her.
"It's already so late. You haven't eaten either?"
Olivia popped open a can and added the hot sauce to her plate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah. I have been cleaning the whole day. I didn't have the time to eat."
Olivia knew that Ethan was very observant. She was sure he probably already noticed the
rug.
"Why don't you hire a housekeeper? It would be a waste of time for you to clean such a
large house."
Olivia was spreading the hot sauce on her pasta to make it more even. Her face was
lowered so Ethan couldn't see her facial expression.
"I'm used to it. I cleaned the house we used to live in by myself, too."
"Liv..."
"Eat. The pasta is getting cold."
Olivia didn't tell him anything, and Ethan wasn't in a position to inquire further.
The atmosphere became strained.
Ethan didn't tell Olivia why he was looking for her yet.
"Liv, tonight..."
Olivia shut him down without hesitation. "I want to rest today. You've seen me. You should
leave after you finish the pasta."
Ethan reached out and held her hand. "Liv, why are you in such a rush to get rid of me?
Are you hiding another man in this house?"
