Kylie grabbed her phone with one hand, while her other hand stayed in the coat.When she and William had been fighting, her T-shirt had become untucked from her pants, so that a small part of her slim waist was showing.
Her two white tender feet were bare on the floor. Her dreadlocks were now loose and fluffy. Accompanied by the messy car, it would be difficult for others to believe that nothing had happened. Not even only once, but so many times!
The ambiance became embarra.s.sing all of a sudden. Kylie wasn"t able to turn her head to look at the two men inside the car until a long time had pa.s.sed.
William didn"t understand what was going on at all. He looked at Ethan, then at Kylie. Ethan, on the other hand, was more than furious, and his eyes were full of threats. Kylie put on her shoes in a hurry, as the other two got out of the car.
Ethan hung up his phone, and Kylie was quiet at once. William didn"t notice what was going on and tried to end the embarra.s.sment. He said to Kylie: "Kylie, this is my uncle Ethan."
"Uncle… Ethan?" Kylie said it in a doubtful way.
"Was he the reason for your stomach ache?" Ethan said lightly. His voice was slow, as if he didn"t care. But only Kylie knew how serious he was.
Kylie stepped to his side like a good girl. William then started to feel as though something was wrong. "Kylie, have you met my uncle Ethan?"
Kylie"s head lowered in shame. She summoned up the courage to raise her head and stare back at him.
"Ethan Parker, is your uncle?"
"Yep, how did you meet my uncle?"
"Why didn"t you tell me that!" she asked William.
"I was planning to tell you that when I"d bring you to meet my family!"
Kylie wanted to kill William right now! The latter saw that Kylie was annoyed and turned to Ethan. "Uncle Ethan, what a coincidence. You know Kylie as well."
Ethan nodded, and his handsome face couldn"t have been colder. "What a coincidence. She is you, Aunt Ethan." His voice was light, but William was more and more shocked by each word.
William was stunned and speechless with shock. "Are you going to come back with me, or are you going to continue to have an intimate moment in the car with him?" Ethan glanced at the woman beside him in a distant way.
Kylie suddenly behaved like a good girl. "I"ll go with you."
When seeing the tall man and the shorter woman walking away, William"s mind was unclear for quite a while. He finished the recording in bad condition, when the director finally found him.
On the other side, Kylie lowered her head all the way down the mountain.
The mood while climbing down was totally different from the mood that had governed while climbing up.
Ethan wore a poker face while he walked down the mountain, one hand in his pants pocket. Kylie followed close behind, trying to break the ice between them, but Ethan showed no reaction.
"Are you tired?"
"Are you thirsty?"
"Please listen to me…"
But Ethan never stopped.
The sky was darkening. Once they were back in their hotel, Ethan walked into the apartment first, then pressed Kylie against the door with a snap when she had just stepped in.
"Kylie Finch!" The man"s eyes were as deep and dark as the night so that the fury at the bottom of his eyes couldn"t be seen.
Kylie took one look at him and quit. She bit her lip, having stabilized her breath, then explained: "It"s not what you think."
"Then, what was it?" The man grabbed her jaw. "What? You can"t wait until the divorce to find another man?"
"No!" Kylie was so anxious that the tip of her nose was sweaty. She explained: "I said yesterday that seeing is not always believing!"
"Fine." The man nodded, letting her jaw go. But the next second, Kylie was being held up in the air. Ethan held her in his arms and turned her around horizontally, walking to the bedroom: "If that"s the case, I need to check it out!"
"Ethan Parker, are you crazy?!" Kylie rolled away from his arms when he opened the door.
Ethan tried to catch her with his hands but failed. She sat on the floor and moved backward several steps. "Calm down and listen to me!" Her back was against the wall, and she stood up in a hurry.
"Nothing has happened between William and me." The man compressed his thin lips into a tough cold line, while his eyes were in such peace that Kylie was frightened.
The peace was like the quiet before a storm.
"I met William the day I became an actress. His mother was very sick, so I had to pretend to be his girlfriend once," Kylie explained at a fast speed, afraid that Ethan would freak out before she could finish.
"His mother probably misunderstood, but I have since laid my cards on the table for William, and I haven"t seen his mother again."
Ethan stood straight and nodded slightly. His soft voice sounded: "Was the diamond rose from William?"
"Yes, he did it on purpose to trap me. Nothing else…"
Ethan waved his hand to make her stop. He hadn"t paid much attention to it before. William had established a diamond craft factory for himself because of his fondness for diamonds.
That was the reason Nate Ba.s.s couldn"t find out the source of the diamond rose. It was from his own family.
Ethan walked towards Kylie. The latter wanted to escape, but she was suddenly pulled into the man"s arms. Kylie"s head was pressed against his chest, where she could hear the vibration of his voice: "Kylie Finch, I give you half a year to cut off your relationship with all your men completely."
"You included?" Kylie said in a naughty way. The man"s big palm was gripping her shoulder. He pulled her slightly towards him, lifted her jaw, and looked into her eyes.
"In half a year, I"ll reveal what our relationship is." The man stared at the woman closely. Kylie"s jaw fell to the floor with shock; she couldn"t say anything for a long time. The man was so aggressive. Before, he had told her that they were in a fake marriage, then that they were going on a honeymoon, and now… Kylie felt that she was continuously being fooled.
"Ethan Parker, didn"t you say…" Ethan pressed her lips with his thumb. Kylie was turned on by this light touch.
He said: "I married a wife, but not to simply watch." The meaning was quite apparent. In half a year, he would lie down with her. Kylie"s heartbeat suddenly sped up. "Well, aren"t you a …"
The man immediately kissed her in order to close her mouth. Kylie was pressed against the wall.
The tall, strong man lowered his body, forcibly kissing and biting her lips… Kylie thought that she was used to his kiss, but her body felt like it was out of control and melting into his.
Her hands that had meant to push him away, instead unconsciously wrapped themselves around the man"s neck.
He looked satisfied with her reaction; the man pressed his body even more against her, raising one of her legs.
