Even After Death by Lilting Champ
Chapter 8
Olivia looked at the paper in her hand. It was the address of a cemetery.
Was Ethan’s sister dead?
Even so, what did her father have to do with her death?
If anyone were to know what kind of person her father was, it would be Olivia. And she knew he was not one to harm others, let alone a young woman.
She knew that Brent and Kelvin would not disclose more information and decided to stop probing them. It was silent all the way to the Millers’ residence. Olivia had mixed feelings when they arrived.
Brent politely asked her, “Mrs. Miller, would you like to go inside?”
“No, thanks. I’ll wait for him here.”
This was the final time she would meet him, and it was only to settle their divorce. She did not want to cause more trouble for herself. Besides, every single thing in there would remind her of their time together, and she refused to reminisce about the past.
He was to blame for cherishing her so much back then. Even though he had become colder and more indifferent to her over time, she would never forget how kind and loving he had been.

It was winter, so the days were short and the nights long. It was already seven in the morning now, yet the sky was still rather dark. The leaves had fallen from the apple tree in the garden, making her thoughts drift off to some time in the past.
During the apple season, she yearned to have a taste of apple cider. Knowing this, Ethan helped to pick the fruits for her.
Back then, the Ethan she knew was amiable and approachable. He was an excellent cook, and he spoiled her like a princess.
