Chapter 201


    Ethan held her in a vice-like grip, and J could barely breathe. She tried wriggling out of his hold,


    but Ethan slung his leg around J, trapping her in ce.


    “I am having trouble breathing!” J kicked her legs, trying to free herself.


    “But you’re still mad at me,” Ethan mumbled, pulling her impossibly closer. J could feel his hot


    breath blowing against her.


    Her skin tingled, and she couldn’t think properly. “Gosh, you’re squeezing me. I can’t even speak


    properly,” she said, gasping for breath.


    However, J suddenly remembered that Ethan was the illegitimate son of the Lester family. The


    cause of his mother’s death was still a mystery to all.


    It must have been embarrassing for him to admit his identity. J felt he must have experienced a lot


    of setbacks ever since he was a child. Therefore, it didn’t seem strange for him to hold back many


    secrets.


    Although J was still unhappy that Ethan was hiding something from her, she couldn’t help but feel


    sorry for him at the same time.


    “Well, it’s a bit upsetting to know that you’re still in touch with your high school friend but haven’t uttered


    a word to me. It made me feel like you’re still attracted to her. She is an excellent woman, after all.”


    Considering Ethan’s family background, J felt sorry for him. She wanted to rify everything once


    and for all.


    Seeing that J didn’t resist anymore, Ethan held her tighter and kissed her cheek. “She is not my


    type.”


    Then, he bit her neck and slid his hand under her dress. “I only want you!” he whispered into her ear.


    “Don’t mess around. I can give you some time. But you have to tell me everything — soon, and no


    more secrets.” J pped his hand and moved farther away — keeping a safe distance from him.


    Although J felt sorry for Ethan, part of her still feared something was going on between him and


    Charis.


    She didn’t want to sleep with him unless he told all his secrets to her.

    Ethan chuckled and rolled back to his side of the bed.


    He knew J very well. If she wasn’t in the mood, trying to seduce her would only make her hate him


    even more.


    Ethan was determined to speed up his n. He had to solve the Lester family’s problems as soon as


    possible. J was the most important person in his life, and he didn’t want to continue deceiving her.


    Ethan had many misgivings. He feared that exposing his identity to J before solving the problems


    would only put her in danger.


    Both of them fell asleep soon after the conversation, their minds filled with problems of their own.


    The next morning, J wanted to talk to Ethan, but just couldn’t find the right words to say. It felt as if


    an invisible wall had risen between them.


    While brushing his teeth, Ethan wondered if he should do something to ease the tension. He didn’t


    want Charis toe in between them and ruin their lives. After all, he wanted to spend the rest of his


    life with J.


    “I’ll pick you up tonight?” Ethan thought he could take her out for dinner.


    J was just about to leave for work. She didn’t like staying away from him either. Just as she was


    about to say yes, Ethan’s phone rang.


    She quickly nced at the screen and sneered. “You should pick her up and have dinner with her. After


    all, you two haven’t seen each other for a long time.”


    J mmed the door and left.


    Ethan sighed and picked up the phone. It was Charis.


    “Brandon, I’ve arrived at the airport. The driver isn’t here. Can you pleasee and pick me up?”
