Chapter 467


    J was still in high spirits long after she had arrived home. Shey in bed and stared at Draco’s


    business card, turning it over and over between her fingers. Then, out of the blue, Ethan’s glum face


    shed in her mind.


    It suddenly urred to her that she had been too busy recently to go on video calls with her dear


    husband. J wasted no time remedying that.


    As soon as the video call connected, Ethan’s scowling face appeared on her screen. “Have you finally


    remembered that you left your husband here in Seacisco?” heined.


    “I’m so sorry, honey,” J immediately apologized. “My mom has been taking me to parties and


    getting me to meet the local socialites. I get so tired that I pass out as soon as Ie home.”


    Ethan snorted at that and rolled his eyes. “You don’t think about how I would feel, do you? You don’t


    care about me at all.”


    It looked like he was bing a very clingy and needy husband.


    J had no choice but to cajole him with everything she got. She even talked sweet nothings to him


    for several consecutive minutes, until she finally noticed the corners of his lips twitching.


    “By the way, I have some good news.”


    She told him about Draco’s job offer.


    And just like that, Ethan’s face darkened all over again. This time, he looked even more sullen and


    cross.


    “You… Are you really nning to work for him?” He spoke through gritted teeth as he tried his best to


    rein in his jealousy.


    J’s parents had spirited her away with no regard for Ethan’s opinion, and he was still mad about it.


    In addition, he was all too familiar with Draco, what with the man being a reputable icon in the fashion


    industry. Ethan had also seen photos of Draco before. Thetter did have a pretty face, though Ethan


    thought he looked rather effeminate.


    While it would do wonders for J’s career to work at Draco’s studio, it certainly wouldn’t do her


    bereaved husband any good.


    “Mr. Wesley is a genius in design. I look forward to learning a lot from him.” J’s voice had


    instinctively turned an octave deeper in the face of Ethan’s displeasure.


    In the end, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “I won’t stop you from achieving your dreams,


    but… It’s just that, we’ve only just been married, and you’re already making ns to live apart from me.


    For how long are you going to leave your husband all alone?”


    J gave him a tight and apologetic smile. “For now, it looks like I’ll have to stay in Barnes for a while.


    Why don’t youe over, honey?”


    *******


    And so, Ethan dropped all his work and flew straight to Barnes.


    He yearned for his wife so much that he could barely hold himself together. He was starved of her, both


    physically and emotionally, and he feared that if they stayed apart any longer, someone might snatch


    her away from him.


    Early the next morning, J woke up to a call from Ethan.


    “I’m at the door.”


    “It’s only six o’clock,” J yawned. “You’re way too early, honey.” She stretched and got dressed, and


    then hurried over to open the door.


    Ethan found himself frozen in ce when their eyes finally met. He had been missing that bright, loving


    gaze day and night.


    J yawned again and ran a hand over her face. Clearly, she was still sleepy. “It’s still dark outside,”


    she muttered, smacking his chest yfully. “Why are you here at this godforsaken hour?”


    Ethan blinked at her in disbelief. “Do you even know how long it’s been since we’ve seen each other in


    the flesh?” he grumbled.


    He looked deted and angry at the same time. J thought it was cute. She hooked her arm around


    his and smiled up at him. “Of course, I remember. It’s almost been a week. I missed you so much,


    honey.”


    For sure, Ethan also missed her like crazy.


    But he was a mature professional who always remained unppable even in the worst circumstances.


    He had no business losing hisposure so easily. Ethan calmed himself before asking in a


    nonchnt voice, “Really? I don’t feel it at all.”


    With a knowing smile, J pulled at his tie and stood on tiptoe to nt a kiss on the corner of his lips.


    “What about now?”


    Ethan sighed to keep himself from grinning like an idiot. “Nope.”


    J pinched his cheek. “Don’t push your luck, Mr. Lester.”


    He chuckled as his hands slowly went around her waist. Ethan leaned close, and the next thing J


    knew, he was pressing her against the door and ravaging her mouth.

    “Ahem!” There suddenly came a loud cough, interrupting their passionate embrace.


    J pulled away from Ethan away and looked behind him.


    Beal and Johanna stood there, staring at them with unreadable expressions on their faces.
