Chapter 1890


    Ethan was just on his way to fetch some water when he opened the front door.


    "Whoa, Ethan, what are you doing here?" Angelina, standing at the door with a little boy in her arms and Georgia trailing behind her, sounded genuinely surprised.


    Ethan, taken aback, nced over at her. "What brings you here?" he managed a strained smile, exchanging pleasantries.


    Before he could step aside, Angelina, holding the child, walked in. "We came to check on ric. What happened to your eye? Did you get into a fight?"


    As Angelina entered, she made a show of concern for Ethan.


    Ethan had no choice but to move aside, making room for them. Georgia, following behind Angelina, had a smirk stered on her face, eyeing Ethan like he was thetest gossip. "Mr. Ethan, that bruised look suits you quite well."


    Ethan was speechless.


    Georgia really had a way with words.


    No wonder ric wasn''t her biggest fan.


    Angelina at least pretended to care, while Georgia justughed at him.


    What did his bruise have to do with her?


    Ethan chuckled lightly, saying, "Life''s a journey with its share of bumps. Only those spoiled by luxury, living in a bubble of adoration, manage to stay pristine."


    With that, Ethan defended his dignity while taking a jab at Georgia.


    But Georgia seemed unfazed, even taking it as apliment.


    "Of course, my parents dote on me. Whatever I want, they make sure I get it," boasted Georgia proudly.


    "My parents also go all out for the people I love," she added, ncing smugly at Angelina, her arrogance palpable.


    Her remark was clearly meant for Angelina, letting her know that if ric wanted to be CEO, only the Reed family could make it happen.


    Ethan wanted tough; he finally understood the ordeal ric had been through these past three years, probably being overshadowed by Georgia at every turn, unable to stand tall.


    No wonder ric was so against marrying Georgia.


    However, Angelina seemed to eat up Georgia''s words, saying, "Exactly Georgia is the perfect match for our ric Speaking of which, where is ric? We''ve been here for awhile and haven''t seen him."


    Saying so, Angelina, still holding the child, looked around for ric.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Her gazended on ric''s room, noticing the light was on. She headed there with the child, calling


    "ric, are you still sleeping?"


    Georgia hurried after her.


    Knowing he couldn''t stop them, Ethan didn''t interfere and headed to the kitchen to get ric some water.


    He didn''t want ric dying of thirst, after all.


    Suddenly, a scream echoed from the room, followed by an indignant usation, "What have you done to my son, you woman?"
