Chapter 117


    The temperature had dropped after the heavy rain. The air became cool.


    As soon as J took out the key to open the door, she heard footsteps and the rustling of stic


    behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a ck shadow engulfed her.


    Her body stiffened, and her heart began to race in her chest.


    ‘Oh, God! I hope Ethan has returned home.’


    She waved her purse to attack, but the tall figure quickly dodged.


    The man’s strong body pressed her against the door. His steady breath blew against her air. She could


    feel his rising body temperature. The man tucked J’s long hair behind her ear and gently kissed the


    back of her neck.


    “My husband is inside. If you dare to eveny a finger on me, he will beat you to death!” J’s voice


    quivered with fear.


    “You have another husband?” Hearing the familiar voice, J finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    She turned around and pinched his arm. “That wasn’t funny. I was so scared that my heart was in my


    throat the entire time.”


    “I’m sorry. Let’s go inside.” Ethan smiled and ruffled her hair. Then, he leaned forward and opened the


    door.


    As soon as they entered the apartment, Ethan grabbed her waist, and the two fell onto the sofa.


    J moaned as he peppered kisses on her ear and corbone. Ethan was strong and aggressive. “I


    miss you so much. We agreed to sleep in my room tonight,” he said breathlessly.


    J didn’t remember agreeing to it.


    “No. I have something important to tell you. Please listen to me. Brandon texted me again,” J said,


    turning her head aside. Her ears turned red, and she felt itchy.


    She told Ethan about what happened in thepany today. After listening to everything, Ethan buried


    his head in the crook of her neck. “It’s good that your boss is willing to help you. I’m sure he can solve


    the problem,” he said in a muffled voice.


    “I still don’t understand why Brandon wants to help me. In fact, I’m kind of afraid of him,” J said,


    shaking her head quizzically.


    “You’re just overthinking this. As the CEO of thepany, he must protect thepany’s interests


    first. Perhaps he doesn’t want your personal issues toe in the way of your work. Solving such a


    trivial problem would be a piece of cake for him.”


    J cast a skeptical look at him as her heart sank with dejection.


    Ethan was always calm whenever she mentioned Brandon. He was a possessive husband. However,


    he seemed tolerant of Brandon. She just couldn’t understand why.


    Ethan looked up at her. His unfathomable eyes bore into hers. He smiled and bit her earlobe, wrapping


    his arms around her. “Didn’t you say that you would cook a delicious meal for me? Or do you want to


    go to my room first?”

    He wondered if she’d be able toe out after they went in.


    J’s eyshes fluttered. She blinked and shyly pushed him away. “We have nothing in the fridge.


    Wait for me at home. I’ll go and buy some groceries right away.”


    Ethan pressed himself against her. With J’s slender legs wrapped around his waist, he grabbed her


    fingers resting on his chest and kissed them. “Don’t buy anything. I just want to eat you. Will you allow


    me?”


    J’s face turned red as she felt something hard poke her hip. “No, no. I’m still on my period…”


    Ethan shook his head and chuckled. He gently bit her lip and finally got up. The in white T-shirt


    clinging onto his body revealed his pert, chiseled abs.


    J quickly got up and hurriedly smoothed her dress. ‘Gosh, he is like a dog who is constantly biting


    me.’


    Ethan sat up and looked at her. “How about Ie with you?”


    “No, no. I can go on my own.”


    J’s mind went nk, and her body was burning. She quickly smoothed her coat and darted out of


    the house.
