Olivia saw Ethan carrying Connor in his arms while she was on the helicopter. She felt a pang in her heart. She was such a bad mother.
They finally got to see each other again, but she left him again. She knew Connor must be devastated. She leaned on the window, and her tears never stopped flowing.
Ultimately, she watched as the father and son walked away into the snow, and she lost sight of them. She didn’t know when she would see her son again after that day.
The helicopter flew toward the island. It took quite some time for Olivia to recover from the depression she felt from parting with her son.
She saw Everly, Alicia, and Zack playing around before the helicopter landed. Even though she couldn’t hear their voices, she could feel that they were having a lot of fun.
Everly stopped the game when she heard the sound of the helicopter approaching. She brought the children over to welcome Olivia.
They hadn’t seen each other for a week. Everly seemed to be in a better mood, probably because she had left Henry. Her complexion had visibly improved. She wasn’t as pale as before.
“Liv!”
“Mom!”
The two children circled Olivia like little kittens. Olivia was supposed to feel happy as she was reunited with her two children, but looking at their faces, she was reminded of Connor.
Connor was suffering in their stead. She felt terrible when she thought about that.
“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy? Did Ethan bully you again?”
Everly rolled up her sleeves. She was ready to reprimand Ethan for Olivia.
“It’s not that. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.”
Olivia suppressed her negative emotions. She had already made a huge mistake. She couldn’t let these two kids down too.
“Were the two of you good when you were with Aunt Eve?”
“Yes!” The two children were like cute little birds when they opened their mouths. They were very adorable.
Everly smiled. “Stop calling me ‘Aunt’. I don’t care. They’re my godson and goddaughter now. They need to call me ‘Godmother’ from now on.”
“Sure, I don’t mind. I’m more than delighted to have another person care for them so much. Eve, I’m starving.”
“I knew you were coming today, so I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare food for you. Ethan might be a scumbag, but he treats you well. This island has everything.
“I thought the cherry blossom island he prepared for Marina was great. But that’s nothing compared to this island. I think he was planning to spend the rest of his days with you on this island.”
Olivia was calm. “So, what food have they prepared?”
Seeing that Olivia didn’t want to talk about Ethan, Everly quickly changed the subject. “You’ll know when you see it. Alright, children, follow your godmother.”
Everly acted like she was a kindergarten teacher. She was full of joy.
There were plenty of cameras on the island. Henry would look at the footage several times each day. He was relieved to see her having a good time with the children.
He said to Ethan, “Your suggestion is great. She seems to be in a much better state.”
“Women tend to do better when they leave the men who cause them pain.”
His words rendered Henry speechless. He glared at Ethan and retorted, “Are you talking about Olivia?”
Ethan wasn’t offended by his remark. He smiled and said, “Olivia’s life will get better. It’s a pity that I only understand this now.”
“Stop acting like you’re a saint. If you really mean what you say, you should cut her loose, not keep her right under your nose.”
