Chapter 59
Marina stared at Ethan’s side profile throughout the confrontation. Ethan did not like publicizing his relationship with Olivia, especially after the divorce. However, she noted that Ethan was triggered by Keith’s act of drinking on Olivia’s behalf.
She turned her resentful gaze to Olivia when she realized divorce was not enough. It turned out that Olivia still had a place in
Ethan’s heart.
Meanwhile, Keith was stuck in an awkward situation. A heavy silence hung in the air; none of the guests dared to make a move that might provoke Ethan.
Keith knew that Ethan wanted to force him to give up on Olivia. Any man would have buckled under Ethan’s threat, but little did Ethan know that Keith had fallen too hard for Olivia. It was love at first sight.
She was a wholly different person when they were younger. But he was too occupied with college and studying abroad to make the relationship happen.
When he returned to the country, he learned that she had quit school to get married. He was dismayed at the shell of the person she had become, like a tree withering from neglect.
He waited a long time until her divorce. He was always grateful for the time he spent with her, no matter how short.
For the first time, the rule–abiding man followed his heart and gave his all for love. Keith, ignoring the threat, stared determinedly at Ethan.
“It’s not your place to comment on that. You do know that your fiancée is right beside you, don’t you? You should focus on her. No matter what Olivia’s decision is, I will protect her well. I won’t hurt her the way her ex–husband did.”
With that, he downed the contents in Olivia’s glass and slammed it on the table. He took her hand and muttered, “It’s getting late, so I’ll send Olivia home. I shall excuse myself since you’ll be talking business.”
