Chapter 414


    “Miss, please close the window. It’s too cold outside to keep the windows ajar like that.” The taxi driver


    went on to stop the car. After driving for so long, it was now time to get more gas. “By the way, where in


    the world are you going?”


    The driver snuck a nce at J in the rearview mirror. She was innocently beautiful, and the more


    he looked at her, the more charming she appeared in front of his eyes.


    From the rearview mirror, J made eye contact with the curious driver. She wrapped her scarf


    around her neck and said, “Please stop at the nearest hotel.”


    “Okay, let’s head out.” The driver smacked his lips together and started the engine of the car.


    She was indeed a very beautiful girl and it was obvious that she had been hurt by love. The taxi driver


    felt very bad for her.


    The cold wind made J shiver in her seat. She was way calmer now.


    On second thought, she knew that Ethan hadn’t done anything heinous.


    He just lied to her.


    If this was someone else, they might not take this matter to heart.


    J wondered if she was being overreacted.


    Ethan had now be Brandon, the richest businessman in Seacisco who started from scratch. He


    had many good traits. He was not only young and promising but also handsome and rich.


    She should feel fortunate to have such a husband.


    However, there was one thing that J couldn’t wrap her mind around. Everyone around Ethan knew


    about his true identity, except for her. Why didn’t he tell her? Did she even matter in his heart?


    J didn’t want to return to “Brandon’s” vi. Ethan had also lied to her about this. It turned out to be


    one of his many assets.


    The driver stopped at the entrance of a chain hotel, which also happened to be affordable.


    After paying the cab fare, J walked into the hotel.


    Ethan, who had been following her, let out a sigh of relief. It was freezing outside. At least J was no


    longer braving the cold winds outside.


    He got out of his car and followed her into the hotel, in a hurry to catch up to her.


    “Give your manager a call.”


    This chain hotel also happened to be one of the properties that Ethan had invested in.


    When the hotel manager caught sight of Ethan, he came over right away with a ttering smile. “Mr.


    Larson, it’s sote at night. What can I help you with?”


    Ethan’s eyes were locked on the woman who had just walked into the elevator. “I want you to arrange


    the room opposite hers for me.”

    ***


    Holding the room card in her hand, J swiped the card and opened the door wearily. She was


    obviously worn out by the events of the day. The moment the door was opened, she heard a sound


    coming from the opposite room.


    J looked back subconsciously and before she knew it, her eyes were looking into Ethan’s deep


    ones.


    Ethan fixed his gaze onto her. He wanted to say something but stopped after thinking things over. At a


    loss for words, his hand frozen in mid-air. He somehow managed to squeeze a few words from his thin


    lips. “J, I…”


    With a snort, J turned back and proceeded to march into her room as if she hadn’t seen him at all.


    She mmed the door closed in front of Ethan’s face.


    And just like that, a door seemed to iste their two worlds.


    After hesitating for a good while, Ethan made his way to the door of J’s room.


    He wanted to start knocking on the door, but he was afraid that he might say something wrong to make


    J even more upset. After all, he wasn’t that good at coaxing girls.


    But if he used some sort of tough method, the result would be the exact opposite.


    At the same time, Ethan didn’t want to leave either. His tall body leaned against the wall and his eyes


    were covered withyers of unreadable emotions. He simply stood outside the door the entire time.


    Lying on the bed, J fixed her gaze on the closed door. Upset, she tossed and turned all night,


    unable to sleep a wink.


    It was not until early in the morning that she finally closed her eyes and was able to take a nap.


    When she opened her eyes again, the sun was shining brightly into the windows.


    With bags underneath her eyes, J proceeded to brush her teeth and wash her face, mulling it over


    in her head whether she should go to thepanyter.


    Even if she had some setbacks in her love life, she still had a job to get to and a lot of things were still


    waiting for her at thepany.


    She opened the door with her coat in her arm and bumped into the man, who was standing outside her


    door.
