Chapter 28: Go and Punish Yourself


    The little girl sniffled and obediently nestled in the man''s arms.


    The man lowered his head and let go of her wet and sticky hair, which had been dampened by her


    tears. He swept his ck eyes over her red-rimmed eyes, catching every delicate expression she


    made.


    In the past, no matter how much this little girl fussed, he only needed to use violence to force her to


    stay by his side.


    But now, the little girl had suddenly be as good as gold.


    Ethan''s stared deeply at Ata as he thought, "Ata White, no matter what you do, you can never


    leave me again."


    Ata, buried in Ethan''s embrace, clearly felt the pressure from the man''s stare. However, she did


    not dare to move. She knew that Ethan needed time to ept her sudden change.


    The car arrived at the Harris residence half an hourter.


    Just as Ethan was about to carry her off the car, Ata straightened herself and said, "Wait, Ethan, let


    me go down by myself."


    After saying this, Ata squirmed out of Ethan''s embrace.


    Ethan got out of the car and saw Ata standing in front of him in her gown. She smiled brightly at


    him and said, "Ethan, do I look good in this outfit? I purposely wore this for you!"


    The little girl stood tall and straight in all her exquisite beauty, smiling seductively at him. Ethan had


    never seen such a lively and cute Ata before. He stared nkly for a moment before saying, "You


    look really good."


    Ata happily walked to his side and took his arm upon hearing his affirmation, "As long as you like it!


    Let''s go home!"


    "Okay." Just as Ata was about to go in with him,


    Ethan nced at Howard and said coldly, "Go and punish yourself."


    "Yes sir!"


    Howard let out a sigh of relief as he watched his master enter the house. This was considered a light


    punishmentpared to the past.


    At two o''clock in the morning, Ata woke up in an empty bed.


    The man who had coaxed her to sleep was gone.


    Ata got up and walked out of the bedroom. There was a light in the study opposite her room, and


    she heard faint sounds of men talking.


    It was rumoured that the whole of Toronto was the Harris family''s empire, and Ethan was the ''young


    emperor''. However, no one knew the blood, sweat and tears Ethan had put in to be worthy of that title.


    Sess did note easy, and Young Master Ethan of Toronto was no different.


    Ata lightly padded downstairs to the living room and poured herself a ss of water.


    She could see a light rain outside through the French windows. Ata thought she saw a ck figure


    standing motionlessly in the garden amid the drizzle.


    Startled, she walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows for a closer look. There was indeed someone


    standing in the garden.


    It was Howard.


    Ata pursed up her lips and picked up an umbre from the porch. Just as she was about to go out,


    she stopped and hung another umbre on her arm. She opened her umbre and walked towards


    him.


    Since it was about two o''clock in the morning, judging by his drenched figure, he had evidently been


    standing there since their return.


    Was this the so-called punishment?


    Ata looked at the man and smiled, "Howard, aren''t you tired of standing there?"


    Howard''s expression did not change at all.


    Ata knew that Howard used to be a special forces soldier and had started to work for Ethan after


    his retirement from the military force. She did not know what had happened between the both of them.

    All she knew was that Howard was fiercely loyal to Ethan after that incident.
