Chapter 9
Olivia searched around the small house for Nathan but couldn’t find him.
Panicked, she hurriedly made her way over, just in time to see Nathan talking with her mother.
As soon as Nathan finished speaking, she rushed over and grabbed his hand. “Nathan, you… you’re going to emigrate?!”
She couldn’t think of anything else.
On the way, she had been thinking about how to explain things to Nathan, but everything that happened in that small house…
Made it impossible for her to explain.
Now, hearing that Nathan was going to emigrate, her heart felt like it was being stabbed.
Nathan’s expression didn’t change. “It’s a classmate of mine. He’s planning to emigrate and wanted to meet up tonight, so I came to let you know.”
“What about just now?”
Olivia didn’t believe him and continued holding Nathan’s hand. If Mrs. Sullivan wasn’t there, Olivia would have told Nathan her
answer.
But the next second, Nathan pulled his hand away, looking confused.
What do you mean just now?”
Nathan looked at Mrs. Sullivan: “I’ve been standing here talking to Mom this whole time. What happened just now?”
Though Mrs. Sullivan had a thousand things she wanted to say, in the end she just nodded.
Perhaps because Nathan and Mrs. Sullivan’s expressions were too calm, Olivia never imagined he could be lying. But she still hugged Nathan tightly, laughing with relief: “Nathan! I thought it was you. You scared me to death.”

Nathan forced a smile. “It’s just emigrating. Why such a big reaction?”
Olivia’s heart was pounding furiously as she held Nathan tight, explaining: “Nathan, you know my family has been in the military for three generations. With this background, no one in the Sullivan family can go abroad.”
She paused, seemingly not reassured, and said in front of Mrs. Sullivan:
“Nathan! I know I’ve neglected you a lot since Ethan came back, but I really just want to tell you, he and I are in the past. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be my husband, so…”
“If I did something wrong and you found out, you can hit me, scold me, even kill me, but please don’t leave me, and especially don’t emigrate abroad. Because then I’ll never be able to find you, and that would be even more painful than killing me.”
Hearing Olivia’s unprecedented confession, Nathan was held tightly in her arms, but he just smiled faintly.
“Okay, I understand! I definitely won’t leave, let alone go abroad.”
Hearing Nathan’s promise, Olivia gripped his hand tightly.
“Let’s go cut the cake.”
But Nathan shook his head, holding up his injured hand.
“Not now, the injury hasn’t healed yet. Why don’t you find Mr. Fu?”
Nathan gestured behind Olivia. She turned her head and saw Ethan hurrying over, then stopping in front of the two of them.
He looked at Olivia tightly gripping Nathan’s hand, his eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.
“…Olivia.”
Hearing this, Olivia furrowed her brow, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.
“Enough! Ethan, I’ve already told you, I have a husband now. He is Nathan Xu. From now on, please stay away from me!”
The atmosphere became chilly due to Olivia’s words.
Only Nathan’s expression remained unchanged.
“Nathan, let’s go.”
After Olivia finished speaking, she took Nathan’s arm and walked forward step by step amidst the applause and crowd.
This scene was extremely similar to their wedding day, when Nathan appeared and Olivia gave a surprised smile after her initial shock,
She took his arm and walked down the red carpet.
At this moment, in an almost identical scene, Nathan turned his head to look at Olivia.
She was holding his arm, her smile pure and sincere happy, joyful, determined.

It made Nathan feel momentarily dazed, as if the embrace and kiss between Olivia and Ethan in that small house had all been

But was it really fake?
Nathan was led by Olivia to the cake surrounded by champagne and flowers.
Just as they were about to cut it,
A cry of shock from behind shattered the illusion in an instant.
Sophie came running over in a panic, shouting:
“Sis, something terrible happened! Ethan, he… for your sake! He tried to kill himself!”
