Chapter 1053
The fierce rippling of the water gradually calmed down.
Blown by the wind, a flower on the branch gently landed on the surface of the water.
Ethan casually scooped it up and put it in Olivia's hair.
Olivia glanced at him with displeasure. Then, she skilfully gathered her hair and tied it into
a bun.
"Let's leave as soon as we're done resting. The weather is nice today, so we should take
the opportunity to walk as far as possible. You'll need at least a week to get out of this
forest," Olivia reminded Ethan.
"Okay."
Ethan brought along the fish he had caught last night. The fish would suffice as supplies
for their next stop.
After the two gathered their things, Ethan stood at the entrance of the cave with the large
hiking backpack on his back.
He turned around and glanced at the cave, seemingly a little reluctant to part with it.
Olivia stood ahead of him, saying with a cold expression," Come on, let's get going."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was only then that Ethan returned to his senses. "Let's go."
He would never forget this place as long as he was alive.
The next night, Ethan and Olivia couldn't find shelter, so Ethan could only build a
makeshift hammock with vines. The two huddled together in the sleeping bag, gazing at
the sky full of stars above them.
It was their first time experiencing something like that.
"Liv, I suddenly feel like this is the life I truly want."
He was tired of all the fighting. He only wanted to focus on his love life now.
But this wasn't what Olivia wanted, so she didn't respond to him.
Ethan was already happy enough that he could hold her in his arms.
He planted a kiss on Olivia's forehead. "I won't make you suffer tonight. Goodnight, babe.”
Olivia was the treasure he had spent a lot of effort to retrieve. From today onward, he
wouldn't hurt her ever again.
The journey was smooth for them from then on. Ethan was surprised that Olivia had
gotten much stronger compared to before.
She could walk vigorously for a few miles in a forest like that, and she didn't seem
unaccustomed to it at all. It was as if she had already gotten used to days like this a long
time ago.
By the looks of it, Olivia had led quite an interesting life in the past few years.
When the two made it out of the forest, they found themselves at a small fishing village at
the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the place had both electricity and internet access.
Ethan managed to contact Brent. Because of the long distance, Brent would only be able
to arrive the next day.
Olivia and Ethan lodged in a family's house. The family was very friendly. The elders had
loving looks in their eyes, and even their sons and daughters were kind as well.
"I can see that you're a married couple on a camping trip. It's quite dangerous in the
mountains, so you shouldn't go there at night. I've asked Emma to prepare a room for you
two to spend the night in."
"Thank you," Olivia expressed her gratitude.
The sky was turning dark. After getting out of the mountains, Olivia finally got to take a
hot shower. Her whole body felt much better now.
Even though the mattress on the wooden bed wasn't from an expensive brand, it was

When Ethan was done with his shower, he walked in to see Olivia sprawled comfortably on
the bed. Her legs were crossed, and she was making a call on her phone.
Ethan grabbed her ankle. "Babe, who are you chatting with?"
When Ethan spoke up, Olivia had already ended the call. "No one. I was just letting my
friend know that I'm safe."
Ethan half-narrowed his eyes as a dangerous gleam appeared in them. His hand trailed up
from Olivia's ankle, and his voice had a suggestive tone to it. "Is it Jack?"
"No," Olivia replied decisively.
"Then is it—" Ethan wanted to keep asking.
Olivia grabbed his ill-intentioned hand. ”1 don't think we're close enough for me to tell you
everything."
After being separated from him for so many years, she had already established her world.
Ethan half-crouched by the bed and said in a humble voice," What do you think we are,
Liv?"
Olivia bent over, caressing his chin with her fingers. For the past few days, because of the
lack of razors, short and tough stubble had grown on his chin.
"If I have to give our relationship a name, I'll call us lovers. I don't want anyone else to
touch me, and I only want your body. Do you understand now?"
