Chapter <b>253</b>
Ethan said, “Put it down and get lost!”
rk was shocked by his fierceness and could only put down his axe. Ethan still stared at him, making his hair stand on end.
rk was unwilling to give up. He thought, Ethan is clearly a gambling addict, so why should I be so afraid of him?; However, Ethan’s body seemed to be enveloped by a ruthless force that made rk not dare to act rashly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Julian was afraid that rk would not give up, so he quickly chased after him. “rk…”
rk interrupted him impatiently. “Alright, Julian, stop talking. I’m not going, okay? I have a home now and can’t go back, I’ll <b>go </b>to my uncle’s house and make do for the night.”
For a moment, he really felt like Ethan was going to kill him. This psychological trauma made rk’s heart tremble. He thought, ‘Ethan never seemed to care about Valerie in the past. Why did he stand up for Valerie this time? It is baffling.”
After sending off rk, Julian returned to the house to take a look. He had nothing to say here. After some thought, he threw the kitchen knife and hoe into the pond at the door. Then, he went straight to the warehouse and took out a set of bedding. He made a <b>bed </b>at the door.
Ruth was worried that he would catch a cold and asked him to sleep in his old room. Julian pretended not to hear her.
In the end, Ruth came to <b>a </b>realization. Her facè turned pale. “Julian, are you afraid that I’ll go to Valerieter…”
Julian finally raised his head and looked at her. That nce was as if it contained ice dregs. It made Ruth’s heart turn cold. She thought, All these ns I have made are all for him. Why does he not see my good intentions? He even treats me as an enemy!”
Ruth returned to her room in a daze. Ethan was still drinking in the room. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand. His beard was unshaven. He nced at her coldly and sneered. “Why don’t you go back to your new house to enjoy yourself?”

Chapter 253
Ruth was already filled with anger. She was so angry that she could not say anything. At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Ethan had said just now and could not help butugh.
She closed the door and made sure that Julian could not hear her. She covered her mouth andughed. “Ethan… Do you really treat Valerie as your daughter?”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
Ethan had a rxed look on his face, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold. Unlike the ruthlessness from before, his eyes did not have a trace of warmth. He stared at Ruth as if he was looking at a dead person..
Ruth was shocked again. She quickly turned around and pretended not to see anything. She jumped onto the bed and rolled up the nket to pretend to be asleep. She regretted saying something she shouldn’t have.
She thought, “This is a secret that should never be revealed. I shouldn’t have mentioned it…”
Recalling what happened in the past, Ruth had nightmares all night.
Julian endured the cold and hard ground the entire night.
He knew that although Ruth liked to be unreasonable, she was timid. It was most likely rk who came up with the idea for the two of them to find Valeriest night. As long as Ruth did not go out, Julian felt that she could calm down after that night.
At dawn the next day, Ethan saw that Ruth had already gone to the kitchen to make breakfast. Ethan went to the pond to get the hoe. The two of them seemed to have calmed down. Only then did Ethan leave in relief.
Yesterday, he had searched for Melinda for the entire day. The fruit shop was closed for business. Today, he had to open it no matter what.
His fruit shop basically relied on the fixed customers in the surroundings. If he didn’t consistently open his business, the customers would go to other shops after a few times. It was not easy to do business.
However, it was strange. Ever <b>since </b>Julian received that strange order which ordered every kind of fruit in the shop, business in the fruit shop had been better than before. Julian kept feeling that someone was helping him.
