Noticing Olivia's silence, Ethan continued, "I did do a lot of things that hurt you in the past, and I can't do anything if you insist on leaving me.
"But other than being your ex-husband, I am also the father of your children. Even in court, I can have custody of them or even visitation rights.
"Do you think it's fair to strip me of all those rights just like that?"
When Ethan said that, Olivia's expression shifted. "You're trying to snatch the children from me now?"
If they truly took it to court, she couldn't win against Ethan in terms of qualification. Olivia's calm expression began to waver.
"Don't be upset, Liv. It was just an example. I didn't mean to snatch the custody rights of the children from you." Ethan hastily coaxed Olivia.
"I just want to tell you my obligations. I also have the responsibility of protecting you and the children.
"On the island, you can relax and focus on healing, and the children can grow freely as well. You'll all be safe."
Olivia lowered her gaze, thinking for a long while. "Alright, I agree. But I have one condition."
"Go ahead."
"Everly was also emotionally hurt. I want to bring her with me for a change of pace. We can look out for each other, too."
"Sure. I'll have it arranged."
Ethan didn't see the victorious look flashing across Olivia's lowered gaze.
It wasn't a bad thing to be overly familiar with him. She could guess Ethan's plans right away.
"One more thing. I want to see Logan."
Ethan had an upset look on his face. "Liv, if it weren't for the special circumstances that night, do you think I'd let him live?
"You want to see someone like that, but have you ever considered my feelings?"
"I just want to make sure that he's still alive."
"Fine. I'll send you there."
After paying the bill, Ethan walked out. It was already completely dark outside.
Snow drifted below the streetlights, and it looked extra romantic.
