Chapter 936

Olivia finally managed to convince Connor to see things her way. He was still young and wasn't as

stubborn as Ethan.

All his thoughts were centered around Olivia. He might look like Ethan, but his personality resembled

Olivia's. He was considerate.

People like them usually had it harder. They would always put other people before themselves and

never consider their own interests.

That night, Connor fell asleep in Olivia's arms. His arms grabbed onto her sleeves uneasily. Olivia felt

another pang in her heart when she looked at the wounds on his face.

She knew there would be more injuries to come. Connor's path was one riddled with pain and suffering.

Despite that, she would still be leaving him. Olivia felt terrible and sad.

But she knew that Ethan and Connor wouldn't be able to protect her forever if she didn't make any

changes.

She would be dead if she ever slipped up. She only had one life, so all she could do was grow stronger.

Or else people like Krystal could slap her without any consequences.

She would be nothing without Ethan's authority. Moreover,

Ethan's identity had been leaked. It was no longer safe for her to stay with him.

Olivia had learned her lesson from her failed marriage with

She had to plan for her and her kids’ future.

Ethan snuck into the room after Connor was sound asleep.

Olivia immediately tensed up when his chest was pressed against her back.

"What are you doing?” she whispered.

Ethan wrapped his hands around her waist and said softly, “Don't be alarmed. I'm just going to sleep

with my arms around you."

Olivia immediately doubted his words. She felt like he was plotting something.

But Ethan didn't do anything to her. He just had his arms around her waist without making another

move.

“Are you planning to leave tomorrow?"

“Yeah,” Olivia replied softly.

"I knew I couldn't keep you here ..."

Ethan sighed and added, "I have to stay here for a little longer to recover. I won't be seeing you off

tomorrow. I've already made arrangements for you to go to the island.”

"Alright, thanks. Now sleep,” Olivia said in a stiff and distant tone.

There were no farewells or sorrows. It was like two friends who met up and were going their separate

ways.

Olivia slept very well that night with Connor in her arms. She had thought about it a few times. It would

be great if they were just normal people. She could stay with her children if that were the case.

Olivia woke up from the dreamless sleep very quickly. She left early in the morning before the sun was

even up.

The sun came out later during winter. There was a gap between the curtains, and Olivia could see that

the sky was still dark.

Connor was sleeping very soundly in her arms. Even Ethan had a good night's sleep. The father and

son leaned in close to Olivia on both sides. Neither of them wanted her to leave. Olivia got out of bed

gently, trying her best not to alert them. But she didn't know that both of them woke up the moment she

left their side.

Neither of them opened their eyes. They didn't say anything either.

Olivia freshened up briefly. Then, she lingered before Connor. The light in the room was dim. She could

barely make out his face and could only see the outlines of it.

A single drop of warm liquid fell on the back of Connor's hand. He knew it was Olivia's tears.
