Chapter 427: Leave Ethan


    The car was filled with a thick silence.


    Instead of making a scene, J chose to be calm and asked, "Will you please unlock the door? I want


    to go back."


    She turned away and stared at the scenery through the window.It was a very long winter this year, in


    Seacisco.


    Ethan unlocked the door with shaky fingers.


    The tremor in his fingers had not stopped yet.


    J shut the car door carefully and went back to the vi.


    She had to get Ethan to agree to the divorce because she didn’t think she would be able to live with him


    as a couple like they had done in the past.

    She knew if he didn’t agree then the divorce would not happen.


    J waspletely worn out as she entered the vi. She knew she could not bepared to


    someone as perfect as Charis, which was why it baffled her that Ethan was so into her.


    These questions without answers left her feeling confused and pained.


    No, she would not think about this anymore.


    It only proved to be a waste of her time since she could not find the answers to them anyway.


    She went to her room in silence and buried her face in the pillow, covering herself with the bed sheet.She


    had thought that everything was done with.She would leave Ethan even if he refused to grant her a


    divorce She did not belong here with him, not after the hell he had put her through.


    Tears fell from J’s eyes and she bit her lips hard to try and stop them from falling.


    She missed home and wanted to return there, to the house where she and Hannah had live before.


    *******


    A huge wall separated them.


    Ethan found it difficult to get the words he so desperately wanted to say out of his mouth.He remained in


    front of J’s door, lost in thoughts.


    Ever since J had found out about his secret identity as Brandon Larson, she moved out of their


    bedroom Ethan was quite busytely, by taking care of work from hispany.


    He had to go to work early in the morning ande backte at night.


    To make it worse, J was avoiding him on purpose.


    He hadn’t seen J for a while now and he knew the situation would continue if he hadn’t gotten off


    work early today to wait for her outside the Larson Group.


    Ethan massaged his head.


    He had a terrible headache that made his head throb.He figured that someone must have said


    something to J.He decided to call Garrett "I did not say anything to her so don’t add me to your list of


    suspects."


    Garrett had been sitting in a booth at the bar andining about the way young people prefer to


    dance in the bar, when he got the call from Ethan.


    He sighed loudly after gathering his thoughts.


    "In my opinion the only thing you did wrong was to hide your identity from J, and it is not so


    unforgivable.And despite the fact that the senior executives in ourpany like to gossip, I believe that


    they aren’t stupid and they can at least behave themselves in certain situations.I believe she must have


    been prompted by something J was devastated and probably believed that her world might copse


    at any time when she found out about the truth.I do not think she can handle any more stress right


    now.You will need to figure out what it is that happened to her before you try to find a solution to the


    problem."


    "What exactly has Charis been up totely?"


    Ethan ground out.


    Garrett had not been expecting that line of question from Ethan so suddenly.He frowned at Ethan’s


    words.


    "She traveled abroad to deal with some financial issues we had a few days ago.She just got back


    actually.I think she will mind her words.She is smart enough to know that."


    "I tasked my assistant with investigating what happened to J today.There appeared to be nothing


    unusual during the day, but the surveince video cannot ount for what happened when she went


    downstairs by the time she was off duty."


    Garrett could not help but think that Ethan was making usations he could not support with facts.


    "There was a general meeting of the top executives a few days ago and the decision was made at the


    meeting to upgrade our security system.So it wasn’t really an ident that the CCTV cameras were shut


    down after work.The two things happening at the same time is purely coincidental and I think you are


    overthinking it."

    J walked downstairs from the floor of the design department, but then she chose to take the elevator


    from the second floor.


    Why? What exactly on the first floor made her so afraid that she went back to take the elevator** Ethan


    could feel in his gut that something dubious had happened.
