Chapter 596
Even After Death
Olivia and Ethan were the only people in that passageway. Olivia could hear the noisy sounds of music
and the hostâs voice on the other side. They were at some sort of event.
She didnât understand it. If Ethan wanted to bring her to an event, it didnât make sense for him to keep it
a secret.
Looking at Ethan, she asked in a small voice, âWhat event is this? You should at least tell me
beforehand so that I can prepare myself.â
There was a lamp above them, and the light shone on the manâs well-defined face. The sharpness of
his features disappeared
in the light.
âIt doesnât matter what event it is. The important thing is that Iâm attending it with you.â
The hostâs voice could be heard outside, followed by cheers from the audience. Olivia realized that they
were at the award ceremony of some film festival.
Olivia was even more curious about Ethanâs identity now. She thought that he was the construction site
supervisor of some huge project.
She didnât understand why he would be able to attend an event like this.
Once she came back to her senses, Olivia would realize that she could just search online to figure out
Ethanâs identity. But of course, she wouldnât have expected her husband to be from the number one
wealthy family in the area.
Then, the hostâs loud voice sounded.
âWeâre very honored today. The president of Miller Group and his wife have come here in person to
present the awards. Everyone, letâs give a round of applause for Mr. and Mrs. Miller.â
Olivia was caught off guard. She couldnât believe that her husband was the president of a corporation!
He looked very busy, but she had never seen a president who could spend time with his wife every day
at home.
Olivia elbowed Ethan. âWhat are you up to? You never told me about this!â
âI just thought that thereâs no better chance than this to tell the world that youâre Mrs. Miller.â
Olivia was shocked. âYou did this so that-â
Ethanâs fingers slid between the gaps of Oliviaâs fingers. He held her hand tightly until there were no
more gaps. Then, he kissed the back of her hand. âI want everyone to know that youâre my wife.â
The backdrop gave way, and all the lights and cameras were focused on Olivia and Ethan.
Everyone happened to catch sight of Ethan kissing the back of Oliviaâs hand. Their excited screams
almost broke through the
roof.
âAhh!â
âTheyâre so handsome and so pretty!â
âThis is something straight out of novels! I had a feeling that Mr. Miller had an unavoidable reason
when he said that he was going to marry Marina.â
âWhen you love someone, your eyes wonât lie. He had never once looked at Marina with a gaze like
this.â
âSo this is his ex-wife. Sheâs so beautiful.â
âI know her! We used to be in the same high school. Sheâs not just super smart, sheâs a genius! She
skipped lots of grades. Later on, I heard that she got married in secret. I didnât expect that she had
gotten married to Mr. Miller!â
The people who mocked Ethan for being a jerk in the past had now changed their minds. After all,
many people in this world judged a book by its cover.
People loved stories of broken relationships getting mended.
Many people in the audience were overwhelmed and wished the couple well.
Smiling, the host looked at the two. âLooks like youâre quite the popular couple. Mr. Miller, youâve never
attended an event like this before. Can you tell us why you accepted the invitation?â
Ethan led the slightly anxious Olivia as he slowly walked to the center of the stage. Throughout the
whole process, he never let go of Oliviaâs hand. Taking the mic, he had a face filled with tenderness.
âMy wife is fond of some old artists. We heard that âBesieged Heartsâ was nominated, and weâre glad to
be here to present the awards. My wife can finally meet the celebrities she idolizes.â
Instead of the movie, everyone was more interested in Ethanâs and Oliviaâs relationship. The host was
even more excited to see Ethan in an uncharacteristically good mood.
âI heard that you and your wife were married in secret for a few years, Mr. Miller. Why did you choose
this moment to announce your relationship?â
