Chapter 194 Are You Sleeping Together


    With onest nce around the banquet hall, Garrett surmised that Ethan was no longer in danger


    of being exposed.


    "I''m sorry but I need to help my girlfriend with something. Shall I walk you to your husband?" With a


    smile, he gestured in the direction of the gate.


    After a moment''s consideration, J nodded and followed him into the garden.


    Ethan was seated in one of the benches outside, his legs crossed, a ss of wine in his hand.


    Garrett didn''t linger. He all but fled the scene after escorting J to her husband.


    "What are you doing out here? Aren''t you cold?" J plopped down on the bench opposite


    Ethan''s with a huff. Her eyes were clouded with disappointment.


    She hade here for nothing. She didn''t even get to see Ethan and Brandon together.


    "It''s too noisy in there," Ethan replied softly. He took a sip of his wine as the music from the ballroom


    started to dwindle down. He heaved an inward sigh of relief.


    The party was finallying to an end.


    Ethan nced at J and found her fiddling with her fingers, seemingly deep in thought. He


    walked over and held out his hand. "Shall we go


    home?"


    His voice jolted her back to her senses. J nodded and epted his hand. There was no point in


    staying when Brandon had already left.


    The Larson Group had pre-arranged for cars and chauffeurs to send the guests home. Wearing a


    mask, Sean pretended to be the driver and opened the door for Ethan.


    J slumped in the backseat, her eyes fixed outside the window. She remained quiet and


    dejected throughout the drive.


    Despite her best efforts to distract herself, she just couldn''t stop thinking about the rtionship


    between Ethan and Brandon. She would sneak nces at the man beside her from time to time.


    J considered asking him once and for all, but ultimately decided against it.


    It wasn''t an easy question, after all, and who was to say that Ethan would tell her the truth?


    As for the man in question, he had sensed that something was bothering J since the moment


    she had joined him back at the garden. And yet, he somehow knew that she was still unaware that


    he and Brandon were the same person. Otherwise, she would have confronted him there and then.


    Ethan reached over and closed the window on her side. A slight tension fell in the car, which Sean


    took as his cue to slow down.


    Ethan gathered J into his arms. "Is there something in your mind? Perhaps something you


    would like to ask me?"


    He always wanted to know what she was thinking, especially when her thoughts started bothering


    her.


    They might have grown closer recently, but Ethan couldn''t shake off the feeling that J had put


    up a wall between them. A couple of times, she had instinctively recoiled from his touch, and other


    times, she would avoid it altogether.


    J snuggled into his tight embrace and pondered her options. After some hesitation, she decided


    it would be better to just ask him directly instead of repeatedly overthinking matters without reaching


    a conclusion.

    "You and Brandon... Are you..."


    Her voice was so quiet that Ethan had to lean close to hear her properly. "Are we what?" he


    prompted.


    J took a deep, fortifying breath, then pulled back and looked Ethan in the eye. "Are you


    sleeping together?"
