Chapter 177
When Olivia said that, she forced herself to recall the sad memories so that she could look at Ethan with teary eyes.
She knew that being ferocious against him wouldn’t do.
After all, they were once husband and wife.
She knew his character more than anyone else did. Softening his heart was the best option.
Her voice was calm, free from complaints and doubts. Tears were pooling in her eyes, too.
Although tears can disgust someone, they could be a weapon when it was used at the right time.
Now, Ethan’s throat parched due to guilt.
“I know.” He lowered his head in self–reproach.
He held her shoulders and licked his lip before saying, “I know that many things have happened between us.
“We cannot turn back teither. Let’s put an end to Leia’s matter. Stay by my side. I’ll take good care of you.”

Frigid numbness shackled her heart.
He was the person who hurt her deeply in the past. How could she forget about it only because he promised to look after her?
In order not to ruin her plan, Olivia expressed sorrow and rested her head against his chest.
Facing her advance, Ethan had never been this nervous before.
After all, this was the swoman who yelled while pointing at him fiercely in the morning.
Yet, she turned gentle at night.
Their interactions were mostly on the edge for the past two years. Such a calm moment was rare between them.
His body went tense as he quietly waited for her to say something.
“Ethan,” she called.
Olivia’s soft voice was like a cat’s meow, prompting him to hum in response.
She continued, “We need to talk”
“I’m all ears,” he said.
She hugged Ethan’s waist and recounted the whole story on the island in a gentle voice.
“At first, I was trying to rescue Connor. But I fell in love with that place later on. No one hurt me. Everyone on the island was kind to me. I genuinely want to help them.”
She raised her head to observe his response.
When she was certain that he wasn’t acting repulsive to that topic, she added, “Tom is cheerful, and Jerry is talented in arts.
“Martha owned only one thermal underwear, but she made it into a diaper for Connor.”
“What do you wantto do?” He was surprisingly receptive.
Her expression sparked joy as she told him her plan.
“Got it,” he responded.
Olivia gazed at Ethan in anticipation. “You-”
“I can develop the island, but on one condition.”

Her eyes were twinkling in happiness. “Say it.”
The squeaky–clean window reflected how he bent over to whisper into her ear. “I want you to stay by my side forever. You cannot leave me.”
Her body shuddered slightly.
Previously, he was the person who wanted the divorce. Now, he was the person who wanted her to stay.
She couldn’t seem to understand him anymore.
Considering the few months she had left, she nodded without hesitation. “Okay.”
Her lifetcwith a limitation. There were a few months remaining.
Her quick response made Ethan anxious instead.
He had more questions in mind, but it would upset both of them since it was related to their fight this morning.
He tightened his arms around Olivia’s waist. “If you leave me, I will burn that island. You know that I do as I say, don’t you?”
His body was warm, unlike his icy tone.
Calmly, she tugged his shirt. “Ethan, I have a favor to ask you.”
