Chapter 40 It Seems Like That Man Wasn’t Him


    ra thought that Ruby had changed her number and contacted her and so she immediately


    answered.


    “Hello?”


    “Ms. ra Rowan? “ The person on the phone asked politely.


    Seeing that it wasn’t Ruby, ra’s heart sank once again and she responded, “Speaking. What’s the


    matter?”


    “I’m from EMC Group’s personnel department.” The caller said politely, “We are interested in your


    resume. Are you free toe to EMC for an interview at 9:00 on Wednesday?”


    ra remembered that she had sent her resume to Donny. She hadn’t expected to receive a call today.


    “Yes, do I need to bring anything?”


    Afterpleting her studies and returning from D country, ra pretty much did not work. She would


    asionally go abroad to help Steve, but she had never gone to otherpanies for interviews.


    She wrote down the information she needed to bring for the interview, talked a bit, and then hung up


    the phone just as she arrived home.


    After entering the house, ra took off her coat and hung it on the hanger. She found that there was a


    thin ck windbreaker hanging on the rack. As she approached it, she could smell a seemingly


    invisible fragrance.


    It seemed to be... perfume?


    “Mae.” ra hung up her coat and asked, “Is Ethan back?”


    Mae nodded. “He came back two hours ago, but he went to the study with Donny aftering back. I


    brought them ck tea. It seems that they are busy with work.”


    ra turned around and looked at the windbreaker on the shelf again, quickly forgetting about the


    perfume.


    The man she had seen at the dessert shop that noon had not been wearing a windbreaker.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    It seemed that it really wasn’t Ethan Preston.


    Knowing that Ethan was working upstairs, ra didn’t go and bother him. Instead, she teamed up with


    Baxter and yed games with him in the living room until dinner.


    Just as the servants were serving dinner on the table, Ethan and Donny came downstairs.


    Ethan was wearing a white shirt and trousers. He looked handsome, and the cuffs of his shirt were


    slightly bent, revealing his smooth forearms underneath.


    Maybe because he was working too long, exhaustion showed between his eyebrows. However, his


    indifferent expression was no different from usual.


    ra couldn’t help but worry that he still insisted on working today even after such a significant injury,


    “Ethan, is your injury okay?”


    “It’s just a minor injury on my back.” Ethan pulled away the chair opposite hers and sat down, his tone a


    little impatient. “Focus on your own affairs, there’s no need to focus on me all the time.”


    ra was about to thank him, but after hearing thetter half of his words, she unconsciously


    squeezed her chopsticks.


    Did he think she was too nosy?


    Yes, their marriage was only a transaction, it wasn’t like they were really husband and wife. In addition,


    everything she had was from him, why did she want to control him so much...


    “Sorry.” ra lowered her head to eat and didn’t saying anything else.


    Ethan seemed to sense ra’s subtle change. He looked at her and frowned slightly.


    However, as was his habit, he was toozy to give an exnation.


    Baxter nced at Ethan and then at ra. He obviously felt that the atmosphere on the table had


    changed. He, who always loved to talk, didn’t talk, and ate his food quietly.


    The people around the dinner table finished their dinner in silence.


    Ethan still had work to deal with and quickly went upstairs. Baxter went back to ying games with


    ra.


    “Madam, please don’t take what Ethan said while eating to heart.” Baxter quietly told ra, “Ethan


    might look cold and indifferent, but sometimes he gets even more passionate than my brother...”


    However, the Preston’s core business was handed over to Ethan and the children of the other wives


    were only assigned several smallpanies and stock.


    The other children were not happy to receive so little money. Later when they saw Ethan move the


    business to J city, expanding its domain and making a countless amount of money, each and every one


    of them had turned green with envy. They had attacked Ethan in secret many times and tried to get all


    his assets.


    Baxter almost nodded. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough, “Madam, there are some things that are


    safer for you not to know.”


    Seeing that he wasn’t willing to say anything else, ra didn’t force him.


    The two stayed in the living room and yed games until past ten in the evening. ra eyes were


    sore, so she waved her hand and said that she wouldn’t y anymore. Then, she went upstairs to her


    bedroom. New ch?pter av?ble o? NovelDrama.Org


    Aftering out of the shower, ra noticed the shopping bags on the sofa.


    She quickly remembered that this was the clothes she had picked for Ethan when she had gone with


    Baxter to the mall.


    She had been so worried about Ethanst night, that she had forgotten to give him the suits.


    Fortunately, she had asked someone to send the suits to the vi, otherwise when car blew up, tens of


    thousands of dors would have been gone.


    ra looked at the time and found that it was time for Ethan to rest. She hesitated, dried her hair, and


    then carried the shopping bags out.


    She reached the door of Ethan’s room, and was about to knock on the door, when everything turned


    dark, and she jumped in fright.
