Chapter 560
Later that evening, J went to the Michelin-starred restaurant Ethan had booked.
Wearing just a simple T-shirt and jeans, J stood out like a sore thumb in the fancy restaurant.
Sitting opposite her was a calm man with a cold temperament. He propped his chin on his palm and
watched helplessly as the woman tinkered with her iPad.
“Is your work really that urgent?” Seeing the dark circles under J’s eyes, Ethan felt tired for her.
It had been half an hour since J sat down. She had been on her iPad that whole time, tirelessly
working on her design drafts.
J broke off a piece of a cookie and popped it into her mouth. “We just received two big orders.
Plus, we’reunching another line thising fashion week. Everyone’s been so busytely. In fact,
Elizabeth’s still in the office.”
Ethan frowned slightly and plucked the iPad from her hands. “Can you take a look at me for one
second? You can continue working after dinner. I won’t take up too much of your time, I promise.”
With the iPad taken away from her, J looked at him sheepishly. “Sorry, honey. I’ve just been so
busy at worktely. When my schedule frees up, how about we go on a trip?”
“So you’re aware that you’ve been neglecting me?” Ethan grumbled. Realizing he was whining like a
child, he coughed in embarrassment and cut the steak for J. “Let’s eat first.”
J put on a charming smile and ate the steak that Ethan had cut into bite-size pieces for her. As she
chewed, she looked around the restaurant, deep in thought. “This restaurant’s design is pretty simple
but elegant. The color scheme will look good on clothes, I think.”
“Why’s your mind still on work?” Ethan felt both helpless and amused. “Please pay attention to your
husband, whom you’ve neglected for so many days.”
From under the table, J gently touched Ethan’s thigh and smiled innocently. “But I’ve never
neglected you in bed.”
With his chin resting on his palm, Ethan’s eyebrows shot up.
The more he got to know J, the more he felt that she was two different people in and out of bed.
Her eyes sparkling, J continued, “It’s really inspiring to work with Draco. He makes me enjoy being
a workaholic. And when you’re doing something you’re passionate about, you’ll really forget everything
else.”
“Good evening. It’s a special night for couples. Tonight, we’re giving outplimentary drinks to the
couples dining here. Please enjoy.” Just then, a waiter approached with two sses of drinks and
some dessert.
Staring at Ethan’s ss, Jmented, “Your drink is prettier than mine. Yours looks glittery
somehow.”
“Then let’s exchange,” Ethan suggested with a smile.
He handed J his ss, and thetter marveled at it for a long time. The color of this ss of drink
was like a mix of blue and purple, like the Milky Way gxy, shining and beautiful.
She took a sip and her eyes widened in surprise. “It’s delicious! Would you like to have a taste?”
Looking at the colorful girly drink, Ethan wasn’t interested at all. He proceeded to eat his steak and
said, “I can’t drink. I have to driveter.”

After dinner, J went back to the studio to continue working.
The deadline was fast approaching. She had been working tirelessly for a few more days.
One night, Elizabeth showed the rest of her design drawings to J. After a while, she frowned and
said, “You don’t look well, J. Do you want to take a break?”
“Just a little sleepy. I’ll have another cup of coffeeter and I’m sure I’ll be fine.” J shook her head
and smiled. “Anyway, are these drawings done? I’ll go through themter.”
Seeing that J waspletely immersed in work, Elizabeth didn’t say anything more. Anyway, after
tonight, they would finally have some days off.
She set down the drawings and turned to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a loud thud from behind her.

Elizabeth immediately turned around and found that J had passed out and fallen to the ground.
