Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Olivia lifted her head with a sarcastic smile on her lips. “What a smart question. Did you forget that you were the one who wanted a divorce?”

He ignored her jibe and inched closer with a threatening air. “Were you with him for the past few days?”

She flatly denied, “No. He dropped me off because it was hard to get a cab on a snowy day.”

Ethan smirked. “Olivia, don’t you know that you always stare upward when you’re lying? You haven’t changed that habit at all. Did you suddenly agree to the divorce after one year of dragging your feet, all because of that man? Did you vanish and leave behind your dad because of him too?”

Olivia did not bother to cook up an excuse, knowing that it’d only be an insult to Ethan’s intelligence and make herself look guilty.
