Ethan hurried back. Finally, at noon the next day, he arrived in Aldenvine.
He didn't even bother to go home and wash up. Instead, he headed toward the Heath residence right away. With the cold and bloody smell surrounding him, he appeared in Mason's study.
Olivia was making tea, whereas Mason was reading a book.
Ethan strode in. When his gaze fell upon Olivia, some tenderness appeared in his cold eyes.
"Mr. Heath, it's fortunate that your orders were not disgraced. The mission was accomplished."
Mason closed his book. He had already received a detailed report last night. He gave Ethan a look of approval. "You've done well. It's getting late, so feel free to stay behind for dinner."
Perhaps because Olivia was around, he didn't talk too much about work.
If it were before, Ethan would decline without hesitation. If he stayed for dinner, Krystal would most probably be attending as well.
But things were very different. Olivia was here, so he was elated.
"Pardon my intrusion, then."
Ethan looked at Mason. "Mr. Heath, there's something I'd like to talk to Liv about."
Olivia placed the tea on Mason's desk. Before Mason could say no, she said, "Grandpa, I happen to have some things I'd like to talk to him about as well."
Mason waved his hand. "Go ahead. I have quite a headache right now, so remember to drop by and give me a massage later."
He didn't have a headache at all. He had simply found an excuse so that Olivia wouldn't spend too much time with Ethan.
In the past few days, Mason asked someone to investigate Olivia's past again.
He wanted to help her find the culprit. But unexpectedly, he found all the details of what Ethan had done to her instead.
Ethan was a good subordinate, but Mason wouldn't allow him to reconcile with Olivia.
Mason didn't have to voice his thoughts for Ethan to guess them. This was the mutual understanding between men.
Ethan dragged Olivia back to her room. As soon as they entered the room, he eagerly pulled her into his embrace and kissed her deeply.
"Darling, I missed you so much."
Ethan's kiss was fierce and aggressive. It was like a black hole that threatened to suck her in.
