Chapter 178


    Ethan let out a startled gasp and almost broke the bowl in his hand. He took deep breaths and


    immediately calmed down.


    “I’m just an illegitimate child of the Lester family. How could I have any kind of rtionship with the


    CEO of the Larson Group?”


    Ethan cleaned thest bowl, wiped it dry, and ced it on the cab above his head. Then he took the


    kitchen towel and carefully wiped his slender fingers.


    J felt ufortable as she stared at his handsome face. The doubt in her heart seemed to grow


    with every passing moment.


    The more she thought about it, the more she believed that Brandon and Ethan were rted in some


    way.


    Brandon was a good-looking man, and Ethan wouldn’t lose anything by being in a rtionship with him.


    J’s face reddened. She rested her hands on her hips and red at him. “Are you two hiding


    something from me?”


    Brandon was gay, and that was why he didn’t seem interested in her. ‘Then why is he helping me time


    and again? Is he actually interested in Ethan? Is he helping me because I’m married to Ethan?’


    “What could possibly happen between us?” Ethan’s eyes darkened as he strode toward her.


    J involuntarily stepped backward and raised her hand to stop him. “Don’te over. I need to sort


    my thoughts.”


    She was still racking her brains to figure out what was going on.


    Ethan had told J that he had talked to Brandon. That was how all her doubts started. It seemed


    suspicious because he should have had no chance to talk to Brandon. Ethan had not only contacted


    him, but also learned his sexual orientation. J couldn’t help but wonder if Ethan and Brandon


    shared a special rtionship.


    Besides, Ethan didn’t seem like an idler who wasted his time. There was an air of mystique around him.


    It was understandable for Brandon to have feelings for him.


    J felt her guess was likely to be right.


    Ethan’s heart was racing in his chest. J eyed him with suspicion. She looked doubtful, confident,


    disgusted, and sympathetic. The mixed reaction confused him more.


    Ethan lifted J and threw her on his shoulder, ignoring her protests. “What the hell are you thinking


    about?” he asked, patting her butt.


    J was stunned when he put her down. Ethan cupped her face and kissed her. “Drop that look on


    your face. It turns me on.”


    J snapped out of her trance and red at him.


    Ethan was domineering and always exuded a majestic aura. J couldn’t picture him having an affair


    with Brandon, yet that seemed like the only possibility.


    She ignored Ethan’s words and asked, “What do you think of Brandon?”


    “Hmm… not bad. He is an excellent businessman.” Ethan scratched his nose and felt that J was


    acting strange today.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Don’t think you can fool me by pretending to be innocent. I know what you two are up to,” J said,


    arching an eyebrow.


    His evasiveness irked her.


    Ethan had been deliberately avoiding the question.


    He had already conspired with others and fooled her once. Besides, Ethan was an effortless actor. She


    couldn’t tell whether he was lying or not. The man always had a straight face and effortlessly masked


    his emotions.


    “What?” Ethan couldn’t understand what she was insinuating.


    J forced a smile at him. She had to be patient. She would wait until Ethan exposed himself.


    “Nothing. I was just joking. I’m going to take a shower.” She pursed her lips and pushed Ethan away


    from her.


    It didn’t matter if he didn’t admit the truth. J nned to pay close attention to Ethan and Brandon in


    the future. She was determined to find the truth.
