Noticing Olivia's silence, Ethan continued, "I did do a lot of things that hurt you in the past, and I can't do anything if you insist on leaving me.

"But other than being your ex-husband, I am also the father of your children. Even in court, I can have custody of them or even visitation rights.

"Do you think it's fair to strip me of all those rights just like that?"

When Ethan said that, Olivia's expression shifted. "You're trying to snatch the children from me now?"

If they truly took it to court, she couldn't win against Ethan in terms of qualification. Olivia's calm expression began to waver.

"Don't be upset, Liv. It was just an example. I didn't mean to snatch the custody rights of the children from you." Ethan hastily coaxed Olivia.

"I just want to tell you my obligations. I also have the responsibility of protecting you and the children.

"On the island, you can relax and focus on healing, and the children can grow freely as well. You'll all be safe."

Olivia lowered her gaze, thinking for a long while. "Alright, I agree. But I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

"Everly was also emotionally hurt. I want to bring her with me for a change of pace. We can look out for each other, too."
