Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481

First, it was Leia, then it was Jodie. Both times, when Olivia thought she had grasped the truth, she was wrong.

Jeff didn’t know what had happened. His memories stopped a few years ago.

“Olivia, do you have so little faith in me? If I wanted a baby, I would’ve married her and asked for your permission. I’d only have a baby with her if all the conditions were right. I’d never take having a baby so lightly.”

If Jeff hadn’t told her, Olivia would have held onto the misunderstanding forever. She thought the unformed baby in Jodie’s womb was a Fordham.

“I thought she liked you. Why would she have someone else’s baby, then?”

Sighing, Jeff said, “This is why I say young people are too emotional. She was resentful when she left me. So, she went to a bar, got drunk, and did it with someone. Later, I found her and told her how I felt. We found out about the pregnancy shortly after we got together.”

“What did you think about that?” Olivia asked while looking at Jeff.

”

“I won’t deny the happiness she made me feel. I felt relaxed when I was with her, but I couldn’t accept the baby. I would already have to deal with the criticism of being with a woman much younger than me. I wouldn’t be able to take it if she brought a baby with an unknown father with her.

“I’m a philanthropist, but I don’t like trouble.”

Jeff’s gaze became intense as he exuded an air of indifference befitting a successful man.

“You’re my only daughter. I wasn’t planning to have another child yet, which was why my relationship with her had been purely platonic. That was also why I couldn’t accept her having another man’s child.

“I was already past the age when I would do anything for love. I wasn’t as emotional when I was with her. Maybe I sound a little cold-hearted to you right now.”

Olivia shook her head. “Not really. I understand how you felt. Life isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. The responsibilities and hardships of the day-to-day routine are what matters.”
