Chapter 220


    An hour ago.


    J had deliberately made noises while moving her things back to her room.

    Her anger red up when Ethan didn’t respond. She mmed the door, making it rattle against the


    hinges.


    She had thought Ethan would stop her and exin everything to her. Part of her hoped all this was just


    a misunderstanding, and Charis was nothing more than Ethan’s ssmate. J waited for a long time


    but didn’t hear any sound outside.


    J walked to the bed and slumped down. She was mad at herself for not being decisive enough.


    She had stormed off like she didn’t give a damn. However, she couldn’t stop thinking about what was


    going on in Ethan’s mind.


    She fell on the bed and buried her face in the pillow.


    It was a quiet night. As J stirred in her sleep, she felt like someone was standing by her bed. She


    quickly opened her eyes and turned the light on. However, there was no one else in her room.


    The white nket was still smooth and fluffy. J realized no one had been watching her sleep.


    Ethan hadn’t whispered sweet things into her ear during her sleep.


    J sat up and massaged her temples.


    ‘Why hasn’t Ethan bothered to exin himself? Was my guess right then?’


    J couldn’t stop thinking about the smug look on Charis’s face. They definitely had a history.


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, unable to take it anymore, she got up


    from the bed.


    She knew sitting in the room and wracking her brains was pointless. The only solution to the problem


    was to talk to Ethan about it.


    But J was a coward. Her momentum disappeared as soon as she walked out of the bedroom. She


    trudged across the living room as if nothing had happened, pretending that she only got up to get some


    water.


    However, to her surprise, the living room was empty.


    ‘Where is Ethan?’


    She frowned and tiptoed to his room.


    However, Ethan wasn’t in his room either.


    J was enraged. She couldn’t believe Ethan had left the house without even telling her.


    J took a bottle of beer from the fridge and walked to the balcony. A gust of cold breeze brushed


    against her as she looked down. Her gaze fell on the man standing in the garden downstairs.


    It was Ethan.


    He was leaning against the tree, talking over the phone.


    J grew suspicious. ‘Why does he have to go downstairs to answer the phone? Does he not want


    me to know who he is talking with?’


    J quickly ran downstairs and walked toward Ethan from behind.


    The cool night breeze caused the shadows of the trees to dance under the streetmps.


    J could clearly hear his voice. He uttered Charis’s name and was asking her not to get involved in


    their business.


    ‘What does he mean? It looks like the two indeed have a history — an unforgettable past.’


    J’s heart sank.


    Countless thoughts and possibilities buzzed in her mind. Her vision grew blurry. She froze and didn’t


    dare to walk any further.


    It looked like Charis was telling the truth. And Ethan didn’t care to exin himself probably because he


    never cared about J.


    A wave of shame consumed her. She felt stupid for trying to defend Ethan for a moment.


    J wiped her tears, turned around, and ran back. A pang of jealousy settled in her heart. All of a


    sudden, she broke into a cold sweat, and her body began to tremble.
