Ch. 356..360: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 356-360

Chapter 356: Blackmail

Kylie laughed too. “I think your mother is right!”

Stephen made a reservation at a high-end restaurant.

When they walked to the second floor, Kylie noticed a couple of middle-aged men and women sitting by the window.

The man was wearing a white shirt and a dark gray suit. He frowned a little, checking the time on the watch frequently.

The woman sitting by his side was wearing all the designer’s brands. It was obvious that she was super-rich.

She had a sip of her coffee, then noticed Kylie and Stephen, who were walking to them. She smiled and lightly knocked the man by her side with her elbow.

The man put down his arm, looking at them with dissatisfaction. “Who are you so late!”

All of a sudden, Kylie felt he looked so familiar like they had met somewhere before.

“We were caught by a traffic jam,” Stephen said, then pulled a chair out for Kylie to sit down.

Before Kylie sat down, she greeted them with great respect, “It’s so nice to meet you, Mr. Cecil and Mrs. Cecil!” After that, she took the gift bag from Stephen’s hand and handed it over. “This is a little gift. Please take it.”

Adolph Cecil, who was Stephen’s father, looked at Kylie with observation and remained silent.

Agnes Cecil, who was Stephen’s mother, just gave it a glance before she put it aside. “Have a seat. You may order whatever you want.”

Kylie sat down with Stephen’s shoulder to shoulder, then said to him, “Why don’t you make the order? You know my favorites.”

Stephen agreed, then ordered several dishes before he gave the menu to Adolph, who sat right across the table from Stephen. “Do you want to order some?”

Adolph snorted but didn’t take the menu, and everyone felt embarrassed.

Agnes smiled instead and took the menu. “Well, Stephen, you only know what’s your girlfriend’s favorite food, but you have no idea what your father likes.”

Although Agnes said it with a smile on her face, Kylie felt it was so strange.

Stephen was adopted by the Cecil family, and he already knew his mother was killed by them. It was kind enough that Stephen hadn’t poisoned them in their dishes. Why should he remember what Adolph liked?

Wasn’t it ridiculous?

“May I have a bottle of soda, please?” Kylie said to a waiter. Afterward, she poured the glass of wine, which was placed in front of Stephen, to the ashtray right before his parent’s faces.

“Mrs. Cecil, probably you think Stephen isn’t a good song, but I don’t think you’re a good mother either. Don’t you know Stephen doesn’t like wine?” Kylie said in a calm voice.

Hearing that, Agnes was obviously displeased. She looked at Stephen, saying, “Stephen, didn’t you drink a little wine before?”

Stephen was very happy that Kylie defended him, but he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.

Therefore, he said with a faint smile on his lips, “I haven’t drink it recently. I’m allergic to wine somehow.”

He took the bottle of soda and opened it to have a drink.

Adolph put the glass in his hand on the table with great force, looking at Stephen coldly. “You’re not a kid anymore, and you should learn how to run the business now.”

“Sure, I’ll go to work at the company,” Stephen said very politely like they were strangers.

“Kylie, do you mind going to the ladies’ room with me before the dishes are on the table?” Agnes smiled at Kylie.

“Why not?” Kylie stood up and held Agnes’s arm on her own initiative.

She understood Agnes wanted to talk with her in private.

“Mrs. Cecil, you keep a great figure! How do you manage to do that?” Kylie flattered her. Agnes, however, compressed her lips in annoyance and didn’t talk to Kylie until they were in the ladies’ room.

“Kylie Finch, stop pretending. You’re not Stephen’s girlfriend,” Agnes said with disdain. “I know your boyfriend has been put in jail.”

“It seems that you’re quite familiar with me.” Kylie wore a faint smile. “Well, since Aiden is in jail now, I, of course, should replace him with another man who can provide a luxurious life for me.”

“Do you think you can marry into our family?” Agnes said coldly. “You’re merely an expensive prostitute!”

“Then, what kind of woman do you think can marry into your family?” Kylie raised her hand and pointed her belly. “An infertile woman could do that. Why can’t I?”

“You……”

Agnes was mad and clenched her fists. “How much do you know?”

“Basically, everything.” Kylie shrugged. “Do you think Stephen will marry a woman who is carrying his baby?”

“Do you mean Stephen already has his baby?” Agnes had mixed emotions.

Kylie made a gesture that she pulled a zipper on by her mouth, then remained silent no matter what Agnes asked her.

In the end, Agnes took out a check from her handbag. “This is a check of three million dollars. Tell me where his baby is, and this will be yours.”

Kylie took the check and put it into her pocket. “The baby isn’t born yet.”

When Kylie turned around and was about to walk away, Agnes stopped her.

“Kylie Finch, since you took the check, you should disappear!”

Kylie patted her pocket, then smiled. “I’m sorry. This check is just the price of the answer. Stephen also gave me a check to persuade me to be his wife.” Agnes finally lost control of her anger.

She grabbed Kylie’s hair to pull her into the ladies’ room. “You’re not his baby’s mother! Bitch!”

Just when she raised her hand to beat Kylie, someone knocked on the door of the ladies’ room.

“Kylie, are you inside?” Stephen’s voice sounded.

Kylie looked at Agnes with a proud smile. “Let’s have a deal. Give me another check of three million dollars, and I’ll tell you his baby’s mother’s name.”

“This is blackmail!” Agnes abruptly moved her hand away.

“Whatever,” Kylie said, then shouted to the outside of the door, “I’m here. Please wait a second. I’ll be right out.”

After that, she smiled at Agnes, like she would leave with Stephen if Agnes thought for a second longer.

Once she was gone, Agnes wouldn’t know where the baby’s mother was.

The reason why Agnes cared about the baby more was just that she planned to use the baby as the hostage, in case Stephen would betray the Cecil family someday in the future.

Agnes bit her lips. Seeing Kylie was about to open the door, she said in a hurry, “I give you!”

Kylie put the second check of three million dollars into her pocket with a satisfied smile, then said, “Her name is Dinah, and they’ve been together for many years.”

Chapter 357: Old Parker’s Gift

Kylie pulled the door of the ladies’ room open, and Stephen looked at her with worries.

“Are you alright?” Stephen asked her in a low voice, then looked at Agnes, who seemed not in good condition. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Agnes smiled with embarrassment. “You must be worried about your girl. We’re fine.” After that, she walked away by pressing Kylie’s shoulder.

It meant Kylie could disappear now with the two checks.

However, Stephen seemed displeased and protected Kylie in his arms.

Kylie looked at Stephen with a smile. “I just received a call from the film crew, and I need to go back right now.”

“Let me send you there.” Stephen even didn’t bother to tell Adolph and walked downstairs with Kylie.

Agnes saw them leaving sitting by the window, then snorted, “You don’t need to worry that you’ll lose control of Stephen anymore. I already found his weak spot.”

Afterward, she started to eat like she was a winner.

Stephen didn’t open his mouth until he started his Lamborghini. “What did my mother say to you just then?”

Kylie patted her pocket. “Your mother sent me a gift.” Saying that, she approached and said, “Your family is so rich, and your mother is so generous that she gave me six million dollars without a blink.”

Stephen knew she was just joking, so he didn’t care, but smiled. “Is the Parker family mean? Do you know how much is the ring Ethan gave you worth?”

Kylie snorted, “It’s just a stone, and I can’t use it to buy anything. I think money is more convenient.”

“Did my mother give you the money in cash?” Stephen asked.

Kylie moved her eyes, saying with a smile, “Kind of. Well, I need to make a great plan to spend the money.” Seeing she began to think about it with a serious look on her face, Stephen just smiled.

Once Kylie was back to the film set, she gave the two checks to Dinah. “Here, your future mother-in-law’s gift.”

“Wow, she’s so generous!” Although Dinah didn’t lack money, it was the first time that she had seen a check of that large amount of money.

“How did you get it?” Dinah asked.

Kylie told her everything, then said, “I think I don’t need to send you a wedding gift again when you and Star get married.”

“Don’t be so mean!” Dinah said. “You don’t need to save money for Ethan.”

“He is mine, and I certainly should save money for him,” Kylie said and sat on the sofa cross-legged like she was the boss.

Dinah snorted with laughter.

They discussed their next step for a while before Kylie and Dinah slept on the same bed.

However, probably because Dinah was too excited, she couldn’t sleep at all.

“Kylie, thank you.”

“Mm…” Kylie was so sleepy that she barely opened her eyes.

“I wish I were pregnant right now.” Dinah touched her belly, thinking of the night when she and Stephen had wild sex for the first time.

It was her first time, and she thought it must be Stephen’s first time, too, according to his unfamiliar skills.

In that case, it was impossible that she could be pregnant at a time.

“Yeah…” Kylie rolled her back and almost fell down from the bed. “Try to be pregnant!” She was finally a little awake and hugged Dinah’s waist.

“What can I do? I can’t force him to have sex with me!” Dinah said, but suddenly felt it wasn’t a bad idea.

Dinah was so thrilled dreaming of being pregnant, and totally forgot how she had trapped Ethan tonight.

This afternoon, when Ethan was about to leave Peak Pictures and go to pick Kylie up, he received a call from the Parker family’s old house. Someone told him old Mr. Parker was in a terrible condition.

Although he was worried about Kylie, he thought she would be safe with Dinah’s protection, and he could go to pick her up later.

Therefore, he drove back to the Parker family’s old house first.

Once he walked in from the gate, he sensed something must be wrong.

A female servant was crying and walked away the second he appeared.

The housekeeper walked out to welcome him in a hurry, and said in a low voice, “Lord Ethan, old Mr. Parker is waiting for you in his room.”

“Does he feel better now?” Ethan asked in a deep voice.

“Well, you’ll know.” The housekeeper lowered his head and guided Ethan walking ahead.

At the outside of old Mrs. Parker’s room, the housekeeper knocked on the door. “Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker, Lord Ethan is home.”

Old Mrs. Parker came to open the door and pulled Ethan’s hand with wet eyes. It seemed she had cried too.

Seeing that, Ethan was upset.

Old Mr. Parker was always healthy, but he was an aging old man after all, and he could pass away sooner or later.

However, it was still so shocking when he departed from them like that.

“How’s my father now?” Ethan hugged his mother’s shoulder and asked gently.

Old Mrs. Parker shook her head with tears in her eyes, pulling his hand walking inside. “Your father, he-he…”

Old Mr. Parker was lying on the bed.

He closed his eyes with ruddy cheeks and seemed asleep. If he passed away like that, he must have died in peace.

Ethan felt sorry for his father.

The Parker family had been through a lot recently.

Khloe had ruined old Mr. Parker’s birthday party, and Matthew had embezzled all the public money, then Aiden, who was old Mr. Parker’s only grandson, had been put in jail.

How could an aging old man like him survive from the series of blows?

Ethan felt guilty and blamed himself in the heart. He patted his mother’s shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, “Mother, I’m sorry that father left us.”

Nevertheless, the second he finished the sentence; he felt something was flying at him at fast speed.

He raised his hand at once and caught a pillow in the air.

“What did you say? I’m not dead yet!” Old Mr. Parker sat up from the bed all of a sudden, glaring at him.

Ethan was surprised and looked at his mother.

Old Mrs. Parker laughed. “Your father’s blood pressure was too high when he heard you’ll be a father and got too excited.”

Ethan didn’t know what to say, and turned around walking away, but was stopped by old Mrs. Parker.

“Don’t go. Your father has something to ask you.”

“Ask me on the phone.” Ethan ached to see Kylie now.

“Where are you going? I’ve prepared a gift for my grandson,” old Mr. Parker said, and pointed at a box laid on the bedside table.

old Mrs. Parker pressed Ethan to sit down in a chair, then gave him the little box. “Open it.”

“I’m not your grandson.” He was still annoyed that they had made fun of him.

He did feel so sad if old Mr. Parker passed away. Although old Mr. Parker had been very strict with him, old Mr. Parker also treated him very well with sincerity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have searched for them for so many years ever since he had been missing.

In Ethan’s heart, old Mr. Parker was his biological father.

He pressed his thin lips, then unwillingly opened the box, and was shocked in an instant.

“You want to send this to Kylie?”

 

Chapter 358: Parker Daughter-In-Law

“It’s a gift for my grandson!” Old Mr. Parker refused to admit that Kylie was already his daughter-in-law.

Old Mrs. Parker lightly pushed Ethan’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Shouldn’t you thank your father?”

Ethan had mixed emotions and remained silent for a while before he stood up. “I’ll tell her to thank you in person.”

He turned around, walking out, and heard the noise of crying and argument at the downstairs all of a sudden.

Old Mrs. Parker followed Ethan stepping downstairs at once, and the woman who was arguing loudly in the living hall was exactly Matthew’s wife, Taylor.

Once Taylor saw Ethan, she seemed angrier.

“Very well, you live a good harmonious life here, and my family is almost ruined!”

Old Mrs. Parker criticized her in a low voice. “Are you insane? Isn’t Aiden already put in jail for Matthew? I’ve handled it all well, and he’ll be taken good care of in prison. Nobody will bully him.”

Taylor snorted. “I wish Matthew had been put in jail, instead of Aiden!”

She then glared at Ethan. “It was all because of you! Once you come back, my family will never live a peaceful life. Why do you have to punish Aiden like that just for a bitch?”

“She’s Mrs. Parker,” Ethan said in a deep voice and seemed utterly displeased.

Taylor had been afraid of Ethan before because she didn’t want him to ruin Matthew’s career. As long as Matthew could make a lot of money, she could continue to live her luxurious life.

However, everything was different now.

Ever since the dirty secret that Khloe had been Matthew’s mistress had been exposed, Matthew didn’t bother to hide his affairs with all kinds of women anymore. Sometimes, he even brought the other woman back home to have fun.

Those women were also arrogant and despised Taylor, like she was just an abandoned wife. Taylor certainly was mad, but Matthew directly ignored her.

Her son was in jail now, so Taylor was helpless.

During this time, Matthew hadn’t come home for many days, and he proposed to divorce her the moment he came back.

Therefore, Taylor came to the Parker family’s old house for help.

If Matthew really abandoned her, she would have nothing left.

Old Mrs. Parker understood Taylor was in a hard situation and signed with a resigned look.

“Taylor, you married into our family, and you’re also Ethan’s sister-in-law after all. Don’t spread the embarrassing news abroad. It won’t do you any good.”

Don’t spread the embarrassing news abroad?

Taylor didn’t know what to say, because she was already a joke now.

“Old Mrs. Parker, Matthew is going to divorce me, and I can barely support myself. Probably I’ll die of starvation,” Taylor sneered.

Before old Mrs. Parker could say a word, Ethan opened his mouth. “You don’t want to die from hunger? Easy, you can stay here from now on.”

Taylor couldn’t believe her ears. “What? I can stay here?”

The Parker family’s old house was far better than her own place. In addition, she could also enjoy the service of many domestic servants. Although she wouldn’t have much allowance, she could show it off that she was the only daughter-in-law who was accepted by the Parker family.

In that case, nobody would dare despise her again.

There were plenty of people who wanted to fawn on the Parker family, and she probably could gain some benefits from that.

“Really?” Taylor asked Ethan again with her eyes full of the obvious excitement.

Ethan slightly nodded, but he still seemed displeased. “You’ll be fully responsible for taking care of my mother.”

Taylor’s smiled froze on her face. It turned out she must be a servant here.

She was Matthew’s wife, not a domestic servant!

Nevertheless, Taylor thought it wasn’t a bad idea, actually. If she could stay by old Mrs. Parker’s side, she could keep a distance away from Matthew, and Matthew wouldn’t dare come here to divorce her.

It was the best way she could think of to solve her problems.

Moreover, it wouldn’t be tiring to take care of old Mrs. Parker, and it was also reasonable to look after her mother-in-law anyway.

After the struggle against unwillingness, Taylor agreed at the end. “Well, I think I’ll stay here tonight.”

When Kylie heard it later, she couldn’t help but think Ethan and her connection with each other so well.

Ethan gave Taylor a cold glance, then walked outside.

“Why don’t you stay here too?” old Mrs. Parker pulled Ethan back. “You seldom come home, and we can share dinner together.”

Taylor helped old Mrs. Parker persuades him. “Yes, stay, please! I’ll go to the kitchen to have a check.” After that, she walked to the kitchen with a broad smile on the face at once.

Ethan knew he couldn’t leave, so he called Dinah. Dinah told him Kylie was still at the film set, and everything was normal.

***

The next day.

To falsify the illusion of pregnancy, Kylie took some time to accompany Dinah to visit the baby shop and went shopping for herself.

“You must wear flat shoes now,” Kylie said, then handed a pair of white flat shoes to her.

“It’s very strange to dress like that.” Dinah looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a loose sweater now. If she put on this pair of shoes again, she would be like an old nanny.

“Put it on!” Kylie said. However, a middle-aged woman’s voice sounded at this moment from her back all of a sudden. “Pack the shoes up.”

Kylie was surprised, then turned around. It was Agnes! And two bodyguards were standing behind her.

Agnes smiled, looking at Kylie. “Thank you for guiding me here.”

“I didn’t!” Kylie argued and grabbed Dinah’s hand. “Trust me. I didn’t guide her here.” Dinah soon understood what was going on.

She then acted at once and got rid of Kylie’s hand. “How could you do that to me!”

“No, I didn’t. Please, I can explain…”

Agnes moved a step forward and stopped Kylie from saying another word. “Well, she took my money, and she betrayed you,” Agnes said to Dinah.

“Kylie Finch! I hate you!” Dinah threw the baby clothes in her hands to the ground with great force in anger. “I don’t want to see you anymore! Get out of my face!”

“Dinah, I did take her money, but I have no idea she followed me.” Kylie tried to explain, but was moved away by the two bodyguards.

Agnes smiled and appreciated Dinah’s loose clothing with satisfaction, and then her sight fell on Dinah’s belly.

“I’m Stephen’s mother, and I’m your mother too from now on. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you and the baby.

“I don’t need that, and I won’t marry Stephen either!” Dinah shouted, then walked away.

Agnes gave the bodyguards a glance, and they soon caught Dinah back.

“Take her to the Marriage License Bureau now.”

Chapter 359: I’m Your Baby’s Father

A car stopped at the door of the Marriage License Bureau.

A middle-aged man beamed to welcome them. “Mrs. Cecil, how come you’re here in person?”

“My son is absent, and I, of course, should come here,” Agnes said, then shook her hand, and two bodyguards pulled Dinah out of the car by force.

“Be gentle! Don’t hurt my grandson,” Agnes snapped at them in a low voice.

“Yes, Mrs. Cecil.” The two bodyguards loosened their hands at once, but Dinah tried to escape again.

Therefore, they could only catch her shoulders and let her struggle.

In fact, it was super easy for Dinah to beat down 20 bodyguards, let along just two, and escaped right away.

However, all she wanted now was the marriage license, so it was impossible that she would escape at this moment.

Seeing the scene, a senior official in the Marriage License Bureau felt it was so strange.

There were countless women who had tried everything to marry into a super-rich family in vain, but this girl cried and struggled not to connect with the Cecil family.

Probably ordinary people could never understand what the upper class in Seattle was doing.

Let alone the bridegroom was absent, he could still issue the marriage license even if the bride was absent too.

In an exclusive reception room, Dinah stayed alert and protected her belly, in case Agnes would hurt her.

“Tell me how old are you now?” Agnes asked with a smile.

“None of your business!” Dinah rolled her eyes.

“You should control your temper, or you’ll be easily made when the baby is out.” Agnes remained patient.

“I told you I wouldn’t marry Stephen,” Dinah insisted.

“As long as you can safely give birth to the baby, I can let you leave Stephen with a lot of money, too,” Agnes said, “but the kid must stay with us.”

“Why? This is my kid.”

“Because the kid’s family name is Cecil.” It was rare to see Agnes being so patient and kind. “Dinah, do you think the kid will live a better life with you? I promise you can visit the kid whenever you want. Of course, I also hope you won’t divorce Stephen.”

Dinah was silent. It seemed she was thinking about it.

The senior official pushed the door open and said to Agnes, “Mrs. Cecil, I’ve already trimmed the photo you gave me well, and the bride can take a photo now.”

Dinah seemed unwilling to do so but followed him walking out.

When she sat before the camera, she beamed.

The photographer was struck dumb for a second.

Doesn’t she get married unwillingly? Why does she look so happy now?

***

Kylie continued to shop alone in the baby shop.

“Please pack up a pair of that shoes for me,” Kylie said to a saleswoman.

The saleswoman gave Kylie a strange glance, then rolled her eyes. She pretended to search for the shoes, then looked at Kylie. “Sorry, your size is out of stock.”

Kylie suddenly felt this saleswoman who had a strong sense of justice was so cute, and she said with a smile, “But you haven’t asked for my size yet?”

“What size do you wear?” The saleswoman gave her a perfunctory question.

“5. 5.”

“Sorry, out of stock.”

“How about 6?” Kylie smiled.

“Out of stock too.”

“And 5?”

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know the size of your shoes?” The saleswoman lost her patience.

Kylie giggled, then pushed her hat up a little to show her face. “You’ve mistaken us. We were just shooting.”

The saleswoman was surprised, but soon recognized Kylie’s face. “Ah! You’re Kylie…”

Kylie shook her hand, telling the saleswoman to keep her voice low, then pulled the hat lower again.

“Wow, your acting is so good! And those people are good actors too. I thought it was real!” The saleswoman got excited at once because she was Kylie’s fan. “I’m sorry, Kylie, I just… I’m your big fan!”

Kylie laughed. “Do those shoes come in size 5. 5?”

“Of course, yes. Please wait a second.” The saleswoman took out a shoebox and handed over a notebook to Kylie. “Um, would you mind leaving your signature here? I’ll send you this pair of shoes as a gift.”

Kylie took the notebook and signed her name on it, along with a line of a good wish. “You live on your salary, and I can’t take it for free. I think I’ll be a frequent customer of you.”

“Well, then please let me help you pay the bill. I’m afraid it’ll cause you trouble if others recognize you,” the saleswoman said like she was Kylie’s knight, which was quite different from her attitude just then.

Kylie liked this girl more. “That will be great. Thanks!”

The saleswoman came back soon and asked with doubt. “Do you buy this pair of flat shoes for yourself? I think female celebrities all wear high-heels all the time.”

“We do when we need to walk down the red carpet, but I love wearing comfortable shoes in my daily life,” Kylie said.

The saleswoman nodded and admired Kylie more.

Ethan, who hadn’t seen Kylie last night, called her all of a sudden. “What are you doing now, Kylie?”

“Shopping for our baby,” Kylie didn’t say that until she walked away.

“I’ll go with you.”

“I can handle it alone.”

“I’m our baby’s father.”

“Fine.” Kylie gave up.

Half an hour later, Ethan appeared at the baby shop.

Once he showed up, he became the focus of people’s attention.

Female customers stared at him, rubbing their bellies, dreaming that this perfect man was their babies’ father.

Saleswomen fixed their eyes on him and wished they could marry this perfect man and have his baby.

That was the reason Kylie didn’t want him to come here.

He was too stunning to be ignored.

Ethan glanced around when he walked in, then noticed Kylie sitting on a bench against the wall.

“Are you alright?” He took the bags from Kylie’s hands at once.

Kylie took out a mask and helped Ethan put it on, in case this stunning man would attract too much attention. However, the moment Ethan put the mask on, he seemed more mysterious.

Without a better idea, Kylie removed his mask.

“Let them see you as they want. They probably will stop staring at you once they have enough,” Kylie said to comfort herself.

Ethan’s arm laid on her waist, and Kylie could hear women’s discussion, which was full of jealousy and sadness behind her back.

She wore a proud smile and hugged Ethan’s waist on her own initiative.

Since those women all felt disappointed, she would let them be in despair. This stunning man was hers, and would always be hers.

Seeing Kylie being so proud of him, the man wore a satisfied smile.

“Let’s shop for clothes and a small bed for our baby,” Ethan said in his husky voice.

Kylie smiled, looking at him. “How? We’re not sure it’s he or she yet.”

“Easy, we can prepare clothes and beds for a boy and a girl at the same time.”

Chapter 360: Slave To His Wife

“What a waste of money!” Kylie said.

“It’s not. You can keep on giving birth to our babies,” Ethan said.

Kylie rolled her eyes at him, then pointed at a small sky-blue bed. “Look at that! This color is suitable for both a boy and a girl.”

“Don’t worry. Your husband can support a big family no matter how many babies we’re going to have.” Ethan smiled with happiness.

“I can raise a family myself!” Kylie snorted.

The man tightened his arm around her waist, and she pressed his body closer. Kylie looked at him and threatened, “If you dare cheat on me, I’ll cut your manhood off!”

The man lowered his head to kiss on the top of her head. “If you cut it off, what can I use to serve you in the night?”

Kylie snorted with laughter.

Ethan laughed too.

He never thought he would feel so at ease and laugh out loud one day before Kylie.

If tens of thousands of employees in his company found out the shocking fact that their boss was his wife’s slave, their jaws probably would fall to the ground.

Ethan loved Kylie so much, and he wasn’t just saying it, but also proving it by spending money on her.

As long as Kylie saw something twice, he would buy it without hesitation.

When a saleswoman was registering the address, Ethan asked Kylie, “The Finch family’s house has been redecorated. Do you want to raise our baby there or in Garbo Palace?”

Kylie thought for a while, then said, “I think the Finch family’s house is a better choice. I hope my mother will feel comforted in heaven.”

Ethan agreed and wrote down the address of the Finch family’s house.

Kylie looked at his beautiful writing and joked, “If you move into the Finch family’s house along with me, you’ll marry into my family.”

“As long as I can ‘into’ you, I’m satisfied.” Ethan finished writing and turned to look at her.

Kylie rolled her eyes at him. There was nothing that could stop him from “loving” her now.

The saleswoman who stood aside didn’t understand they were talking a sexual joke and interrupted with a smile. “Don’t worry. We also provide free delivery. No matter how many you’ve bought in our shop, we’ll send them to your place within an hour as long as you make a call.”

Kylie forced herself not to laugh and pulled Ethan walking away.

Ethan smiled and said in a loving voice, “I’m just one call away too.”

“Enough, Ethan!” Kylie flushed. Couldn’t he stop making sexual jokes?

Once Kylie walked out of the baby shop, she encountered the female reporter again.

When the female reporter saw Kylie, she was obviously surprised, and her sight moved to Ethan, who stood by Kylie’s side.

Although they didn’t talk at all, there was hostility in their looks.

Kylie subconsciously tightened her hand on Ethan’s arm. The man turned his head to look at her, then checked their surroundings, but didn’t find anything unusual.

“What’s wrong?” he asked in a low voice.

When the female reporter walked into the shopping mall, Kylie pretended nothing wrong had happened and said, “I just saw a reporter, and I thought she would recognize me.”

“So what?” Ethan announced in a domineering tone, “You don’t need to hide at all as my woman.”

“If our relationship is exposed right now, people may ignore my acting but pay too much attention to the fact that I marry into a super-rich family,” Kylie said and seemed upset. “I don’t want to be a beautiful dumb woman in your life.”

In fact, Kylie was a strong independent woman.

Although she enjoyed Ethan’s unconditional love and care, she wanted to stand with him, not behind him.

Ethan, of course, knew her very well, but he still wanted to protect her in his arms.

Suddenly he asked, “Honey, would you still love me if you find something unusual with me?”

She was lost of words for a moment and stared at him seriously, “What do you mean? Is there something you hide from me?”

Ethan went silent, and he said, “No.. Nothing, I … I just wanna tell you that I love you,”

Kylie gave him a pleasant smile and said, “I love you, too!”

He can’t tell her the truth about his real identity right now, knowing Kylie’s situation being pregnant.

And he was determined to tell everyone in this world that Kylie was his woman. Even though she made a mistake or cause some trouble, he would handle it.

Ethan stopped talking then, and Kylie gradually paid attention to the door of the shopping mall.

Why did the female reporter suddenly appear here?

Ethan opened the car door for Kylie to sit in, and then went back to sit on the driver’s seat.

“How long do you need to stay in the film set?” Ethan fastened the safety belt for her.

“I think I can finish my part tomorrow.” Kylie stared straight at the door of the shopping mall. All of a sudden, she caught the female report taking secret photos of her.

Kylie approached Ethan at once, then raised her phone to take a selfie with him.

Ethan wasn’t prepared, so there was only his profile in the photo.

Kylie planned to let him be her background, but he looked more attractive than her in the picture.

“Wow, you look so charming,” Kylie said to herself, then moved her phone to find a better angle to take another selfie.

There was a faint smile on Ethan’s lips, and he started the car. When the car moved by the door of the shopping mall, Kylie pressed the capture button without delay.

Not only a reporter knew how to take secret photos!

Kylie sent the photo of the female reporter to Lucas and told him to find out which company she worked for.

“Boss, are you going to act as a spy in a new film?”

“Say another word, and you won’t be paid this month.”

Lucas sent her a crying emoji.

Kylie laughed and suddenly felt Lucas was different now because he used to type words all the time.

Ethan gave her a glance and saw she was playing on her phone, so he didn’t think further.

When Kylie went back, someone told her the assistant director was looking for her.

“Do you find Lauren?” Kylie asked once they met.

The assistant director frowned and moved an unlit cigarette under his nose leftwards and rightwards.

Seeing him being so serious, Kylie was very nervous.

Lauren had been taken away because the kidnapper had mistaken Lauren for her. If anything terrible happened to Lauren, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

“Well…” The assistant director gave several photos to Kylie.

Kylie’s fingers were shaking in fear when she took the photos, but her sight escaped from them a few times.

She was afraid there was Lauren’s chopped body or the scene in which she was being tortured in the photos.

“Don’t be afraid. Nothing horrifying,” the assistant director said in a hoarse voice.

Kylie took another deep breath, then focused on the photos.

Those photos were captured by the surveillance camera at the door of the B&B when it was on fire.

Before the fire, a man wearing a khaki trench coat with big sunglasses had appeared at the door three times.

After that, it was the scene when Lauren escaped from the B&B in a black windbreaker.

Although it wasn’t a video, it was obvious that someone had called her, so Lauren walked toward a big old elm tree.

“What happened next?” Kylie asked.

The assistant director sighed, “And next, Lauren disappeared from the surveillance camera.”
