Even After Death Novel Chapter 785 – Olivia touched the cup of lemonade with her fingers.
The lemonade was cold, so there were water droplets on the cup. It felt cold to the touch. She didn’t answer the question.
Instead, she asked, “What about you? You don’t look that young. You must have someone you love, right?”
Logan smiled brightly and didn’t try to keep it a secret.
“Yeah. I met a woman a long time ago.
I was very poor, and I was injured. But she didn’t care about all that and saved me. It was love at first sight for me.”
“What happened next?”
Other people’s stories were always nice. They wouldn’t make Olivia feel sad.
“Nothing. She was a good woman. Someone like me, who would do anything for money, wasn’t worthy of her.
“She was like the moon, forever out of reach. I’m happy to keep her in my memories.”
“You never told her how you felt?”
Logan looked up to the moon that was almost completely hidden behind clouds. Olivia couldn’t see his face.
Logan paused for a few seconds before replying, “I didn’t. She was so perfect like she belonged in the heavens.
“I could only admire from afar. If I ever got closer to her, I’m afraid …that I might hurt her.” Olivia smiled.
“Even if you understand, you shouldn’t hurt the one you love. But some people just can’t seem to get it.”
“Actually, I didn’t understand this in the past. I only realized my mistake after that litter of kittens died.
“I know that too much love would be detrimental. So, I am satisfied with admiring her from afar.”
“Where is the woman now? Is she living a good life?”
For some reason, Olivia thought of herself. Logan took a good look at Olivia.
Olivia thought she was imagining it, but there seemed to be a dark gleam in Logan’s eyes.
“Yeah, she is doing well. Is the person you mentioned your lover?”
Logan changed the subject. Olivia also told the truth.
“He was, in the past. I loved him a lot.”
“What about now?”
“Not anymore.”
Snowball purred. Logan had been scratching Snowball, but he suddenly increased the pressure.
So, the kitten called out in dissatisfaction.
Logan lowered his head to check. The kitten bit his fingers in anger, but he didn’t resist.
Snowball was still very small, but its teeth were sharp. The bite left two little injuries on Logan’s fingers, and they started to bleed.
He ignored the injury and asked,
“Since he used to be so important to you, why did you stop loving him?”
“There wasn’t a point in loving him anymore.”
Olivia didn’t want to talk about Ethan anymore, so she got up to go back to her room.
Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds can be heard overhead. Olivia stopped in her tracks and saw fireworks being set off a small distance away.
She remembered that the fireworks were set off in the direction of the hotel where Keith’s engagement ceremony was held.
Those fireworks were probably to celebrate the occasion. She stood under the palm tree as she gazed at the fireworks.
“Do you like fireworks, Ms. Fordham?”
Olivia replied calmly, “It’s only natural to like things that are pretty. But as pretty as they are, fireworks burn out very quickly.
“Soon, the night sky will return to being calm, like nothing ever happened.”
“Even so, at least the beauty is preserved in our memories, and we will remember it for a long time.”
Olivia shook her head in resignation.
“That’s true, but I don’t think I would live long enough to see the day.”
She never did get a fireworks show for herself.
Ethan prepared fireworks shows for Marina and Connor but never for her. She wasn’t angry, just sad that it never happened.
Logan set Snowball down and draped the jacket he had prepared on her.
“The show will last for quite some time. This will keep you warm.”
“Thanks.”
Suddenly, Olivia asked, “What day is today?”
