Chapter 91
Seacisco had extreme climatic conditions. It had scorching hot summers and cold winters.
The fruit store near their apartment sold iced watermelon juice. The refreshing scent of the fruit wafted
in the air.
J bought two cups of juice and went home.
She was still thinking about Brandon''s messages.
As J walked into the house in a daze, she saw Ethan standing on the balcony, picking up dried
clothes from the line. His hair swayed with the gentle breeze, and a few strands covered his bright
eyes.
"What''s wrong? You look preupied." Ethan sat on the sofa and put the pile of clothes beside him.
His droopy eyes made him look indifferent andzy. His maic voice snapped J out of her
thoughts.
A pang of guilt settled in her heart when she met his gaze.
J felt she had to tell him the truth. After all, she didn''t do anything wrong.
"I''ve been thinking about mypany''s CEO, Brandon Larson." J''s brows furrowed as if it were
something important.
Ethan picked up a cup of watermelon juice from the table, inserted the straw into it, and brought it to
J''s mouth, "What?"
After taking a sip of the juice, J turned her phone on and showed Ethan the conversation between
her and Brandon.
"I think he is being too nice to me. It doesn''t look like a professional conversation at all. That''s not how
a CEO talks to his employees."
Ethan drank the juice whilst reading the conversation. He scrolled down the screen and read the
messages.
Although Ethan had sent all the messages, he had to read the conversation. Otherwise, J would
doubt him.
He was d that J had told him the truth.
Ethan felt she was a righteous woman and a good wife who would never cheat on him with a wealthy
man for personal gains.
"Well, it seems normal to me. Why don''t you just ept what he has given you? Brandon is an
influential person. I''m sure he''ll be able to help you in case you encounter any problems."
Ethan leaned back on the sofa, and his hair rubbed against J''s neck. "Honey, you smell so good."
He couldn''t speak ill of Brandon, for it was equivalent to cursing himself.
J frowned and studied his face. "Is this how you really feel?"
Ethan''s reaction surprised her.
She had always felt the man was jealous and possessive, but he seemed strangely calm now.
"Husbands usually get upset and angry when they find out other men are trying to hook up with their
wives. Why are you so calm about it?" J was confused.
"I think ha is baing too nica to ma. It doasn''t look lika a profassional convarsation at all. That''s not how
a CEO talks to his amployaas."
Ethan drank tha juica whilst raading tha convarsation. Ha scrod down tha scraan and raad tha
massagas.
Although Ethan had sant all tha massagas, ha had to raad tha convarsation. Otharwisa, Janat would
doubt him.
Ha was d that Janat had told him tha truth.
Ethan falt sha was a rightaous woman and a good wifa who would navar chaat on him with a waalthy
man for parsonal gains.
"Wall, it saams normal to ma. Why don''t you just apt what ha has givan you? Brandon is an
influantial parson. I''m sura ha''ll ba a to halp you in casa you ancountar any proms."
Ethananad back on tha sofa, and his hair rubbad against Janat''s nack. "Honay, you small so good."
Ha couldn''t spaak ill of Brandon, for it was aquivnt to cursing himsalf.

Janat frownad and studiad his faca. "Is this how you raally faal?"
Ethan''s raaction surprisad har.
Sha had always falt tha man was jaalous and possassiva, but ha saamad strangaly calm now.
"Husbands usually gat upsat and angry whan thay find out othar man ara trying to hook up with thair
wivas. Why ara you so calm about it?" Janat was confusad.
Something seemed fishy. Ethan had never reacted this way.
"I think it''s pretty obvious that Brandon''s up to something," she added.
Ethan was smart enough to understand the intention behind a message. J felt he, too, must have
sensed the conversation didn''t seem normal but couldn''t understand why he was strangely calm about
it.
"He just wants to help you, doesn''t he?" Ethan shrugged as if it were no big deal.
Although he didn''t think he had done anything wrong, he could sense J''s unease. He sat up
straight and turned to look at J, who was staring at her feet.
A frown lined Ethan''s forehead. He wanted J to ask Brandon for help if she encountered any
problems. After all, he was Brandon.
J bit her lower lip and fell silent.
She didn''t expect Ethan to take Brandon''s side.
His reaction both confused and upset her.
He had kissed and hugged J. Now, another man was showing strange concern towards her. But
Ethan dismissed it as normal behavior.
''Perhaps I''m not as important to Ethan as I had thought,'' she wondered.
