Chapter 1042
As their eyes met, Olivia suddenly leaped off the ground. Just as she had done in the snake den, she held Ethan tightly.
“Damn it, who permitted you to run away? Do you know how worried I
was about you?”
Ethan knelt on the ground on one knee. His eyes widened as shock
filled his face.
Last night, Olivia had said so certainly that she hated him and found him disgusting.
He thought that he didn’t have a chance anymore. He chose to leave so that she could stop crying and he wouldn’t be an eyesore to her.
But Olivia’s embrace made him feel like the dying embers in the fireplace were rekindled. His heart began to thump wildly, and his suppressed emotions were slowly revived.
“Liv, what did you just say.
Pulling away from his arms, Olivia said through gritted teeth, “I said that I was very worried about you, alright?”
Grabbing his collar, she jerked him forward. Then, she raised her head and planted a kiss on Ethan’s lips.
Ethan felt like his mind had just exploded.
What was he seeing?
He couldn’t believe that Olivia was taking the initiative to kiss him.
Chapter 1042
In the past, he would have to think of a hundred ways to get close to her. Now that Olivia was taking the initiative to kiss him, he couldn’t quite get used to it. He stood completely still.
He feared that he was in a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, Olivia would be gone.
Rain poured down their heads, but they had forgotten their current
situation.
Ethan had been suppressing it for so long, and so had Olivia.
She was switching between loving him, hating him, and feeling bad for him. She had loved him and hated him deeply in the past, and in
the end, they went their separate ways.
People always said that everything faded with time, but in the past few years, Olivia didn’t forget about Ethan at all. Instead, their reunion
this time had opened her eyes.
She finally realized how important he was to her.
As it turned out, when he carried her out of the water back then, that
single glance changed their lives forever.
From today onward, no matter how long the path she had to take or
who she encountered, she would never be able to forget him.
It felt like there was a whole lifetime in that kiss.
At least, at that moment, Olivia had forgotten all the grudges between
them.
After being worried for a long time, she finally saw Ethan safe and

sound. The emotions she had been suppressing for so long finally
rushed out of her. She couldn’t stop it at all.
The kiss almost suffocated them. Placing his forehead against hers,
Ethan let out a heavy sigh. “Liv, you’re the one who dashed over
yourself. Even if you beg me, I’ll never let you go again.”
Ethan gently pulled her into his arms. With great ease, he carried her
away.
Olivia didn’t struggle. She had used up too much mental and physical
energy, so her body was exhausted.
Also, she seemed to have waited too long for this familiar embrace.
She leaned her head against Ethan’s arms. She wasn’t thinking of
anything now.
Other than the sounds of the rain, she could also hear Ethan’s
heartbeat.
As expected, Ethan had already found a temporary refuge nearby.
He wasn’t as brash as Olivia. After going back last night, he began
packing up and planning a route out.
He had prepared everything, from weapons to food and sleeping bags. He estimated that he would have to spend about a week or more in the forest. He even brought along a first aid kit in case he got
hurt.
His backpack was filled to the brim.
Fortunately, it only started to rain after he went down the cliff. He had ample time to find a small cave to set up a refuge in.
Chapter 1042
He never thought that Olivia would scale the cliff to look for him.
Ethan had just brought Olivia back to the refuge when he couldn’t
control his overwhelming emotions anymore. As he undid Olivia’s
clothes, he kissed her.
Olivia hissed through her teeth.
