Chapter 4


    Seeing the frown on J’s face, Ethan followed her gaze and saw his watch. Momentster, he


    realized what she was thinking. “This is a knock-off that I borrowed from my friend,” he whispered into


    her ear. “I usually wear it to look cool but didn’t expect you’d notice it soon.”


    Ethan removed the watch and put it into his pocket.


    “It looks real.” J smiled and stepped back, covering her ming ears.


    Ethan was leaning closer, and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke.


    As J thought about it, she realized it was normal for a man like Ethan to have a street friend who


    sold fakes.


    She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, J had freaked out, thinking Ethan had done


    something illegal to make a fortune.


    Ethan knitted his brows. He had heard that the daughter of the Lind family had several boyfriends and


    hung out with different men all the time. The girl’s shyness seemed to surprise him.


    “The bridegroom is here. Why hasn’t the wedding started yet?” asked a sweet voice of a woman.


    Jocelyn grinned and walked forward, holding her boyfriend’s arm. “Since the bridegroom is here, let me


    introduce my boyfriend to you,” she said, deliberately raising her voice a decibel higher. “My boyfriend


    is the general manager of Cagen Group. It would be good for you to know him. We are family. We can


    help you in the future.”


    J smiled politely.


    She knew Jocelyn was pretending because the woman hated her with a vengeance. J was used to


    Jocelyn’s mockery. “Yes, we should get to know each other. But your current boyfriend is different from


    the one I sawst week. I wonder if you’re going to be with him or not next week.”


    Jocelyn’s boyfriend’s face darkened; the smile on his face dropped.


    “My younger sister always likes to tease me. Don’t take it to heart,” Jocelynforted her boyfriend


    before turning and ring at J. “If necessary, I can rmend Ethan


    to work in Cagen Group. If he isn’t efficient enough to do technical work, he can perform daily chores


    like serving tea and cleaning bathrooms. After all, it’s better to have a real job than roaming around idly


    after getting married.”


    J stole a nce at Ethan. However, Jocelyn’s words didn’t seem to bother him the slightest. “No,


    thanks.” He smiled politely. “I’m used to roaming outside. My bum can’t rest in one ce, so I can’t sit


    in an office and work nine to five.”

    His response irked Jocelyn. She shot a vicious look at Ethan and returned to her seat, holding her


    boyfriend’s arm.


    Soon, the priest arrived and hastily finished the wedding.


    Ethan took J back to a small house in the suburb. The house looked old, and the front yard


    covered only a small area. The house looked empty and hoarded only basic necessities. She felt they


    were recent additions simply for the wedding. Ethan was a tall, muscr man; the narrow space


    somehow looked smaller after he came in.


    It seemed obvious that he barely made ends meet.


    “This is my home. Make do with it.” Ethan shrugged casually. He didn’t seem embarrassed in the


    slightest.


    “Yes, it’s a small house, yet it looks tidy. It can amodate the two of us.”


    J was honest. Although the house looked shabby, Ethan had maintained it well. The yard looked


    neat, and the house looked spotless. However, it didn’t feel like a home — it was too empty; perhaps


    because Ethan seldom stayed there.


    J looked around. She saw that Ethan had taken off his suit jacket and put it on a wooden chair. He


    was unbuttoning his white shirt. She trailed her gaze across his body and saw the toned muscles under


    his shirt. It looked like he had been working out regrly.


    Sensing her gaze, Ethan turned his head and met J’s anxious eyes. He stopped and walked


    toward her. “You’ve been busy all day. Do you want to shower first?” he asked intently.
