Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

“What did you call me?” Chloe looked at Olivia in disbelief.

“Mrs. Carlton, did you forget that you divorced my father years ago?

“Your husband is now Mr. Carlton. Am I mistaken to call you Mrs. Carlton?”

This was the first time Olivia had been so cold to Chloe.

Even during the time Chloe met her after she came back from overseas, Olivia had been gentle.

Now, it was as if she was a cold and sharpened blade.

“Liv, you’ve changed. How can you say that? I am still your mother, after all.”

“Yes, I’ve changed. I’ve only come to realize that humans are despicable and that human nature is ugly and selfish.

“If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been missing my mother all those years. I wouldn’t have spent years waiting for someone who would never return.”

“Liv, I know I’ve let you down. But now that I’m back, I’ll do everything in my power to make it up to you.”

Olivia gazed at Chloe’s face. She didn’t remember how Chloe looked when she was still a child.

She looked largely the same as she was in the pictures. There were only some traces of aging.

But she felt completely different from the mother in her memories.

“When you wanted to leave, you forgot that I existed. But now you claim to want to compensate me?

“Mrs. Carlton, have you ever thought that perhaps I don’t want your compensation? You weren’t there when I needed you

most

“Now that I’ve survived that, nothing you give me would make me forget that.”

“Liv…”

“Mrs. Carlton, your daughter is over there. I am not worthy of your love.”

There were people in the world who would give anything up for love.

Chloe was such a person. She didn’t love Jeff.

So when Chris came to her, she threw everything away and left with him.

All these years, she went radio silent. She didn’t even call once, let alone a word of concern for Olivia.

Now that the years have passed, she seemed to have remembered that she had a daughter and claimed to want to compensate her.

Olivia no longer cared about that. She looked on at the fancy hall.

People’s voices reverberated within the walls. It was loud and lively.
