Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller

Olivia smiled. It was an extremely mocking smile.

She pried Ethan’s fingers off her. “Mr. Miller, I’ve never wanted anything from you. I can even let go of the title of Mrs. Miller without any issues.”

In the end, her fingers touched his lips. “Ethan, aren’t you tired of all those grudges? I am. I don’t want to waste more time on you and Marina.

“I don’t want to be upset because of people that don’t matter to me anymore. Let’s just go on our separate paths, alright?”
