Chapter 432


    “How could you believe a word of what Charis says?”


    Ethan shook his head in disappointment.


    Sometimes he wished J wasn’t so easily manipted.


    “I knew she was up to no good, but what she said was true.” J’s eyes darkened.


    Ethan squeezed her cheeks and looked at her sullen face carefully. As his eyes fell on her pink lips, he


    said, “Can’t you tell that she desperately wants you to leave me?”


    J turned her head away, pouting her lips.


    “Don’t touch me, Mr. Larson. I’m a married woman. I should warn you that my husband is very good at


    fighting. If he finds out about this, he’s going to pin you against the wall and teach you a lesson.”


    Clearly, J was still mad at him.


    Ethan turned a deaf ear to her words. He grabbed her leg and slowly moved to the gap between her


    thighs.


    Although J was wearing jeans, she could still feel the warmth of his hand.


    With his strong arms, Ethan put down the passenger seat and pressed his body against hers.


    “Ethan!” Shocked, J mped her legs and propped up her elbow on each knee.


    “I’m the only one who gets to spoil you.” Ethan pinched J’s legs and then moved his hands to her


    waist. He leaned down and rubbed his nose against J’s. “What are you afraid of? Have I ever


    forced you? If I had known earlier, I would have made love to you already. If I can’t have your heart,


    then at least, I could have had your body.”


    “Don’t say that,” J scolded him in a low voice. It was as though Ethan’s old roguish self had


    returned.


    She knew she shouldn’t care about what Charis said either, but she couldn’t help it. After all, Charis


    sounded very convincing.


    Like a magic spell, her words kept repeating in J’s mind.


    Looking closely at her fluttering eyshes, Ethan raised his hand and gently smoothened her knitted


    brows.


    “I know you still have doubts, but you can go back with me first. It’s okay if you don’t want to work in the


    Larson Group, but you have to stay with me.”


    Ethan’s words softened her heart.


    Maybe she just couldn’t say no to this man.


    Now that this man hade all the way here chasing after her, she could never escape him.


    After tidying up her messy clothes, Ethan took J back into the airport.


    His private ne had been waiting there for a long time.


    It was the first time J had ever been on a private ne and she was nervous. Ethan put his arms


    around her and said, “You’ll be taking private nes more often in the future.”


    Pretending as though she didn’t hear him, J kept silent. In truth, she didn’t want to be so close to

    Although she had no choice but to y along and go back with him, she panicked at the thought of


    what she would doter.


    It was already eleven o’clock in the evening when they arrived in Seacisco.


    Ethan dropped J off in front of the vi. Having no intention to go inside, he simply said, “You can


    either wait for me or get some sleep. There’s something I have to take care of at thepany.” Ethan’s


    face darkened at the thought of who he would have to faceter.


    Biting her lips nervously, J looked down in disappointment, but she nodded her assent in response.


    She wasn’t used to the fact that Ethan was actually Brandon, but she was willing to try and understand


    him from another perspective.


    After all, the Larson Group was one of the fastest-growingpanies in the country. The pressure of


    having to hold such a high standard must have been exhausting.


    “Be good and I’ll be back soon, okay?” Ethan rubbed J’s ear gently and winked at her before he


    got in the Maybach.
