Ch. 371..375: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 371-375
Chapter 371: Strange Behavior
Did she want to explain it to Ethan in person?
Sally noticed Kylie looking to Ethan, then wore a knowing smile. “Please call me once the doctor is ready. I need to use the ladies’ room now.”
“Sure.”
When Sally was gone, Kylie moved near to Ethan, covered by dim light.
She saw Lauren stopped at a place not far behind Ethan but didn’t move nearer.
Lauren sat there with her back facing Kylie, so Kylie couldn’t see her face. It was so strange.
“Lauren!” Kylie patted her shoulder. “What are you looking at?”
“Ah!” Lauren almost exclaimed. When she turned around and saw Kylie, her eyes were full of strong hatred again, which confused Kylie.
Within a second, Lauren put on a smile. “I thought the person who sits next to Lord Ethan is you.”
Kylie smiled. “Do you have something to talk to me?”
“Nothing special…” Lauren escaped Kylie’s eyes.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already discussed it with Lord Ethan, and he agreed to keep you in the entertainment industry.”
“In fact, nobody wants to delete your part from Dangerous World, but you were absent for a few days. We only deleted some of your parts for the sake of the film,” Kylie said, staring straight at her eyes. “I hope you don’t mind.”
The smile on Lauren’s face was getting more embarrassed. “Of course not. I should thank you instead of for what you’ve done for me.”
“You’re welcome. Let’s sit there together!” Kylie invited Lauren to sit with her.
In order not to arouse gossip, Kylie chose to sit in the row behind Ethan, while Lauren sat where she could see Ethan’s profile.
When it was completely dark in the hall, the beginning of the movie was played on the big screen.
Under the flickering light, Kylie looked to Lauren several times and found that she was staring at Ethan all the time.
Also, her eyes were so tender, like Ethan was her lost love.
Does Lauren admire Ethan too?
“Lauren, actually, you’re a good actress.” Kylie talked to her on purpose, trying to find some clues.
Lauren was struck dumb for a second, then gave a glance at the big screen before she looked to Kylie. “Well, I think you’re a talented actress. I almost cried when I watched the plot just then.”
Kylie never doubted her acting skills, but the event happening in the film just then wasn’t the most touching part.
As an experienced actress, it was a little exaggerated for Lauren to say that.
Probably Lauren wanted to thank her by flattering her.
When they turned to look at the big screen, Ethan, all of a sudden, looked in the direction, because he just saw Kylie sitting with her.
However, when he just moved his head, he caught Lauren’s eyes. Lauren escaped his sight in a panic at once.
Ethan frowned a little.
When Kylie had told him Lauren had been missing last night, he was strongly suspected that it had something to do with Dora and her younger brother.
Why did Lauren suddenly appear today?
He glanced around, then noticed Kylie, who was sitting behind him.
Seeing him looking at her, Kylie greeted him with a smile. “Nice to see you, Chairman Parker.”
Ethan compressed his lips, but didn’t say a word, then looked to Lauren again, who was pretending that she was focusing on the film.
“Chairman Parker, didn’t you tell me Lauren’s good person so that she ran into the fire to help me out last time?” Kylie approached Ethan. Saying that she pulled Lauren’s arm. “Lauren came this time to thank you in person.”
Lauren wore a weird face looking at Kylie, then turned to Ethan. “Chairman Parker, been a while.”
Hearing her voice, a fact dawned on Ethan.
It seemed Lauren realized something, too, so she cleared her throat and explained with a smile. “I’m sorry. My throat is acting up.”
Ethan didn’t say anything wearing a cold face, then turned to watch the film.
Kylie quietly reached out her leg to touch Ethan’s. He sat with her legs placed backward, and let Kylie leave countless footprints on his pants.
When the film was over, many people wept because of the sorrowful ending.
Kylie turned to look at Lauren at this moment.
If Lauren almost cried just then, she must burst into tears now. However, to Kylie’s surprise, Lauren didn’t show any hint of sadness, but seemed quite pleased, like she had successful revenge.
To be honest, Kylie wasn’t sure what kind of person Lauren was. Was she a hypocrite?
When Kylie was thinking about it, Lauren suddenly stood up. “Sorry, I need to use the ladies’ room.”
Kylie didn’t stop her but approached Ethan’s ear when she left. “I think Lauren is so strange today.”
Ethan snorted, “You’re not dumb.”
When he had been on the stage just then, he had said that he would be kicked out if he said anything bad about his wife, but now he laughed at his wife!
Kylie pursed her lips. “Do you have any news about Dora?”
“Yes.” Ethan looked forward and said in a quiet voice. “Someone replaced her.”
“Then, Lauren…” An idea dawned on Kylie.
Did Lauren replace Dora?
“How is it possible!” Kylie couldn’t accept it. “Even if she did plastic surgery, it takes days for her to recover. Doesn’t it cost too much that she did that just to escape?”
“So.” Ethan turned to look at her. “She’s just wearing a human-skin mask.”
At the same time, Lauren just walked to the door of the ladies’ room and encountered the assistant director who just walked out of the men’s room.
When the assistant director saw Lauren, he rounded his eyes in shock. “Lauren! Why didn’t you tell me you left to work abroad? Kylie and I are worried about you!” Saying that he reached out his hand to touch her.
“F*ck off!” Lauren snapped at him and got rid of his hand, walking into the ladies’ room.
“Lauren, what happened?” The assistant director grabbed her shoulder. “You have no idea how worried I am about you.”
Although he had no intention to marry Lauren, he had to admit that he was quite satisfied with Lauren’s skills in bed.
He missed her so much now.
However, Lauren refused him to touch her now. The assistant director was a little anxious because he had helped Lauren a lot to chase her career in the entertainment industry. How could she dump him right now?
It was impossible.
The assistant director tried to pull Lauren aside by force, but someone knocked him from behind all of a sudden.
Chapter 372: You Just Want To Get The Prize
The last second when he passed out, the assistant director saw a man in a khaki windbreaker.
The premiere came to a perfect end.
The media were impressed by Kylie’s performance in the movie. When publishing film reviews, it was inevitable for them to praise her.
Like what Lucas had believed, Kylie once again made headlines of the entertainment news.
Without any doubt, William was amid criticisms again. As long as the news was about Kylie, many Internet users would mention his name below it.
Playboy became William’s other name.
In the Finch family’s house.
Kylie received Bob’s call, and he told her to attend the International Film Festival. Even if she couldn’t get any prize, she could broaden her horizons.
Kylie, who was pregnant, lay on the sofa looking at Ethan for his advice.
The man put down the documents in his hand and smiled. “Attend it if you want to. Just take it as a vacation.”
“But…” Kylie put her foot on Ethan’s legs, pouting. “The international awards are not like our domestic ones. Nobody will know who is on the shortlist for the prize.”
“You’re not on the list anyway.” Ethan held her cold feet in his big palms to warm them up.
Kylie rolled her eyes at him. “But I’ll be looking forward to it. You know that the bigger the expectation is, the greater the disappointment will be. I’m afraid I can’t control myself.”
The man snorted with laughter. “You just want to get the prize.”
“The soldiers who don’t want to be generals aren’t good soldiers!”
“You don’t have many film works. It’s already a great chance for you to attend the International Film Festival. Relax a little, and you’ll gain more.”
Although Ethan was right, Kylie still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
“Will you send someone to attend the festival from your company?” Kylie asked.
“Yes. She’s also a great actress.” Ethan nodded.
Kylie suddenly remembered the mysterious document in Ethan’s hands the other day. Was he going to bring fame to the actress who was going to participate in the International Film Festival?
Thinking of that, Kylie made up her mind that she must attend the festival too.
Even though she wasn’t on the shortlist, she was determined to fix her eyes on Ethan from the beginning to the end!
Like what Sally had said to her, even though Ethan was married, countless women still ached to be his mistresses.
“I’ll call Director Miller right now!” Kylie jumped down from the sofa, running to the balcony.
Seeing her running away, Ethan smiled.
Kylie hid in the place where Ethan couldn’t hear her and called Director Miller back. “Hi, Director Miller, I’ve made up my mind to attend the International Film Festival. I think it’s a great chance.”
“Glad to hear that. You still lack experience as an actress, so you must learn from your seniors.”
“Yes, you’re right.” Kylie smiled.
“Well, the assistant director will attend the festival on behalf of our crew too, and you two can go there together.”
“I know. I’ll contact him later.”
Kylie hung up the phone, then checked the calendar. There was still a week away from the International Film Festival. She must arrange the surgery for Sally as soon as possible.
“Star, is it convenient for you to talk now?” Kylie asked.
“Of course. Whenever you call me, it’s convenient.” Stephen, who was reading documents, took off his glasses and pinched the middle of his eyebrows.
He felt so tired just then but was cheered up once Kylie called him.
“Do you still remember Sally?” Kylie asked.
“Yes, didn’t you say that she’s not ready for the surgery yet?” Stephen got up and went to the bookshelf to take out a folder containing the treatments he had collected according to Sally’s condition.
“Yes, but she’s changed her mind, and I want to help her.” Kylie paused, then continued feeling a little embarrassed. “You’re working in your family’s company now. If it’s not convenient for you to do that, you can introduce a doctor you trust to me.”
“Besides me, who will you trust?” Stephen chuckled, and he would never hesitate to help Kylie.
“But…” She wasn’t willing to see Stephen argue with his family again because of her.
He just went back to work in his family’s business, after all, and it could be difficult for him to leave.
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”
“Um, I’m going to attend the International Film Festival next week. Could you be quick?” Kylie asked, feeling a little guilty.
“No problem. I’ll call you once I arrange the operating room well.” Stephen hung up the phone and called the doctor, who took over his clinic to arrange an operating room as soon as possible.
Sally’s surgery was arranged on the third day. When she was pushed into the operating room, she pulled a man’s hand. “If any accidents happen to me, don’t blame anyone. Today’s results are all God’s decisions.”
The man’s tender look at her could melt everything in the world. “I’ll wait for you here, and death won’t take you away from me.”
Sally once again gave Kylie a glance, then was pushed into the operating room.
Kylie was nervous and restless, while the man was very calm standing by the window.
He stared at the traffic on the road, like he just finished watching a wonderful movie and was waiting for his girlfriend, who just left for the washroom.
“Aren’t you nervous at all?” Kylie asked with curiosity.
The man looked over and smiled. “That’s because you don’t know Doctor Cecil’s medical skills. As long as he wants to save someone’s life, the person won’t die in any situation.”
The man said with confidence, but Kylie was struck dumb for a second.
Really, Stephen, that so good at medicine?
Before she asked further, the man showed a mocking smile. “Similarly, if he wants someone to die, no one can escape.”
Hearing that, a fact dawned on Kylie.
If he was telling the truth, then Stephen never had planned to hurt her. Otherwise, she couldn’t have woken up so soon, given Stephen’s unbelievable medical skills.
Could it be possible that she was still under Stephen’s control?
Kylie pinched her arm and felt great pain.
Alright, she had to admit it was a little over.
The two had waited for about half an hour at the door, and the lights in the operating room were off. Stephen, who was wearing a white coat, walked out at first.
“Everything goes well. It’s a benign tumor, and she’ll be fine soon.”
“Thank you so much, Doctor Cecil.” The man took the initiative to shake hands with him, but Stephen just gave him a glance. “Why are you willing to let me do the surgery?”
It seemed they already knew each other, and there was something unpleasant that had happened between them before from their tone.
The man’s face once again showed the self-deprecating smile. “If Sally didn’t insist on trusting Kylie and choosing you, I would rather let her die.”
Kylie was astonished. She glanced at Stephen and the man. Stephen looked at her, then shook hands with the man.
“I hope we’ll never meet again.”
“I hope we’ll never meet again.”
They said that at the same time.
Chapter 373: Don’t You Feel Bored
Sally was pushed out later, and the man went straight over and followed her going to the intensive care unit.
Stephen turned back and saw Kylie staring at him in a strange look. He smiled. “Do you like my uniform?”
“I like you in your uniform!” Kylie also smiled. This was the first time that she had seen Stephen carry out the surgery.
When a usually elegant man became serious in his work, he was super attractive.
“I haven’t seen Dinah for a few days. Call her out to join us for a meal. My treat!” Kylie said.
Stephen hesitated for a while, then said, “Sure.”
The two returned to the office, where Stephen was temporarily resting. The moment they walked inside, they saw a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing them.
“Father?” Stephen was surprised, and subconsciously pulled Kylie to his back.
Adolph turned around, staring at Kylie in an unkind look.
“She again? Do you prefer to listen to her?” Adolph smashed the ashtray on the table to the ground in anger. “How many times have I said that you are not allowed to be a doctor again?”
Stephen’s face turned pale. He seemed to want to say something but didn’t say a word after his lips moved a little.
“Mr. Cecil…” Kylie opened her mouth but was interrupted by Adolph. “You’re not qualified to talk to me!”
Adolph frowned and squinted at her.
Kylie didn’t say another word, not because she was scared of Adolph, but because she found he resembled Ethan so much when he squinted just then.
She just thought Adolph looked familiar before but had never connected him with Ethan.
A shocking fact dawned on Kylie once more.
Seeing Kylie being quiet, Stephen thought Adolph scared her.
Stephen, who planned to tolerate it, became angry all of a sudden. “Kylie is my friend. Please respect her!”
Adolph gave Kylie a cold glance. “I’m teaching my son a lesson, and she should leave right now!”
Stephen still wanted to say something, but Kylie pulled his arm. She looked at Adolph and said, “In your eyes, is Stephen, your son, or a dog that only knows how to wag his tail?”
Adolph was struck dumb for a second. It was obvious that he was stunned by Kylie’s bold remark.
“You… I support his life, and his surname is also Cecil. It’s none of your business whether he’s my son or a dog!”
Kylie smiled and said, “If you treat your son not as well as a dog, how will you treat your customers?”
She folded her hands in front of her chest, then stared at Adolph in an elegant way. “I heard that Mr. Cecil is the chairman of the Empire Hotel. Aren’t you afraid your employees will behave like you?”
Hearing that, Adolph was in a rage, and almost had a brain hemorrhage.
Except for his wife Agnes, only one person dared to confront him. Not only did she not listen to him, but she also had hidden away from him for more than 20 years and never had shown up. He wondered how she was doing now…
Stephen didn’t want to see his father arguing with Kylie, so he took the initiative to smooth over the tense atmosphere. “Why don’t you go to check Sally’s condition now? I’ll stay here and have a talk with my father.”
Kylie nodded. “Great, but remember not to be bullied again.” After that, she gave Adolph a glance before she left.
Adolph snorted at Kylie’s back, “Why do you like her so much? She’s so bad-tempered and rude. Dinah is much better than her.”
Stephen took the cockroach and cleaned the glass fragments on the ground. “I heard that my aunt’s temper is also very bad…”
Adolph’s face changed at once and glared at Stephen.
“Bullshit! Your aunt moved out only because she wasn’t used to life at home!” Adolph was angry. It took a long while for him to look at Stephen again. “Don’t mention it before your mother.”
“Sure.” After cleaning up the garbage, Stephen prepared a cup of coffee for Adolph. “How’s mother’s body now? It is time for the review.”
“Yeah, not bad.” Adolph took a sip of his coffee. “The doctor said that your mother could live 15 years more after kidney transplant surgery. Now it’s been more than 20 years. Your mother is very lucky, but you can’t give up looking for a new healthy kidney. If anything bad happens, it’ll come to need.”
Stephen looked at him, indifferently. “Sure, I understand.”
Adolph didn’t allow him to be a doctor but still forced him to find a new healthy kidney for his mother, which was very unreasonable.
Adolph tested the coffee for a while, then pinched the middle of his eyebrows. “I’m a little tired now, and I don’t want to argue with you anymore. Go back to the company later. I need to go home to have a rest…” Saying that Adolph stood up from the chair. However, his body shook when he just stood up.
Stephen moved agilely to catch the cup that slipped down from Adolph’s hand and firmly supported his body with another hand.
“Why don’t you have a sleep here?” A touch of cunning flashed by Stephen’s eyes.
Adolph’s eyes were sluggish, and he was wearing an absent look. After putting him down in the chair, Stephen took out a bunch of keys in his trouser pocket.
“Which is the key to the safe?” Stephen asked in a low voice.
Adolph’s face was expressionless. He was silent for a moment, and then his voice sounded like a repeater. “In the bedside table in the bedroom.”
Stephen nodded with satisfaction, then put the keys in front of Adolph’s eyes to let him see them. “Which is the key to the safe.”
Adolph thought for a moment. His head swayed gently. “None of them is… The smallest key is in my briefcase… There is a separate key in the bag…”
Adolph carried his safe everywhere. Even if he was on a business trip, he would take it with him. He came to live with Stephen this time, and still put the safe in his bedside table.
There must be something Stephen wanted.
Stephen snapped his fingers in front of Adolph’s eyes, then said faintly, “You’re tired. Take a rest, and I’ll wake you up later.”
Afterward, Adolph closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
According to what Adolph had told him, Stephen soon found the key. However, Agnes stayed in the bedroom most of the time, so he didn’t have any chance.
“Why are you back now?” Dinah appeared behind Stephen all of a sudden.
Stephen gave her a glance and thought of an idea. “Don’t you feel bored? You can go have a walk and enjoy the sunshine with my mother.”
Dinah snorted with disdain. She was unwilling to stay alone with Agnes for a second longer, let alone went to enjoy the sunshine with her.
Hearing their talk, Agnes walked out herself. “Dinah, today is a good day. Why don’t you accompany me to have a walk outside?”
She thought sunshine was good for her grandson.
It wasn’t difficult for Stephen to open the safe.
There was no direct evidence that he could use to unseat Adolph, but only an old photo.
Chapter 374: You’re Appetite Is So Good
However, the woman in the old photo…
Stephen took a picture of the photo, then closed the safe.
After returning to the clinic, Stephen snapped his fingers again by Adolph’s ear, and he woke up at once.
“What happened…” He shook his head, feeling a little dizzy.
“You said you felt a little dizzy just then, and you’ve lain here for a while. Do you feel better now?” Stephen asked with great respect. “Do you want to have a check? You’re in the clinic now anyway.”
“No need.” Adolph waved his hand. “Let’s go home now!” “No problem. Let me take my car key.”
***
In a restaurant.
Kylie ordered many dishes.
“Wow, your appetite is so good!” Dinah was surprised looking at the dishes on the table, then said to Kylie, “How come you don’t gain any weight at all!”
Kylie laughed, then approached Dinah’s ear. “Of course, I’ve gained some. 36D now, ha-ha.”
Dinah looked down at her 34B boobs.
“Don’t worry. They’ll be bigger too in the future.” Kylie had a bite of a slice of pizza. “How is everything going now?”
Dinah sighed, supporting her jaw with her hands. “Agnes didn’t tell Stephen I’m pregnant, but Stephen didn’t pay much attention to me even though Agnes treated me unusually kind. My boobs didn’t get bigger, but my waist did!”
“Your mother-in-law treats you quite well!” Kylie ate another piece of pizza, then blinked at Dinah. “As long as you sleep with Star, it’ll be the truth sooner or later.”
Thinking of that, Dinah felt sadder.
“Stop talking about me. How about you? How is your film?”
“Um, not bad.” Kylie wiped her mouth. “Lord Ethan is so generous that he bought tickets for the staff in the Century Group to watch the film for free.”
“Wow.” When Dinah just took a knife and fork, Ethan pushed the door of the private room open, walking inside.
“How does it taste?” the man asked Kylie.
“Quite good!” Kylie pulled a chair next to her out and gave Ethan a slice of pizza when he was seated.
Ethan wasn’t a vegetarian, but he disliked high-calorie food.
However, the pizza Kylie ordered was covered by a thick layer of cheese, and the barbecue sauce was even dropping.
“I’m not hungry.” He leaned backward to escape Kylie’s hand.
Dinah sat across the table, watching them with interest.
“Really?” Kylie looked at him.
“Enjoy it yourself.” Ethan poured a glass of juice for her.
Kylie nodded. Since he hated fast food, she would enjoy it herself. She took a large bite of the pizza and even licked the barbecue sauce on her finger.
Dinah noticed Ethan, who was a neat freak frowning.
The next second, Ethan took a wipe and cleaned Kylie’s hand.
Kylie was quiet and moved near to let him clean her hand. However, once Ethan finished, she abruptly grabbed his neck.
Ethan was surprised. When he just turned, Kylie approached him with barbecue sauce all around her mouth.
There was an evil smile on her lips, and more barbecue sauce came out from her mouth.
Ethan was displeased, but Kylie didn’t afraid of him at all. She kissed him right before Dinah’s face and pushed the pizza into his mouth by her tongue.
The man caught her hands in case she would stain his clothes, and Kylie raised her head, enjoying Ethan’s kiss.
When she ate it herself, she thought it was so delicious with creamy sauce. However, when Ethan pushed the pizza back into her mouth, she felt so disgusting.
She felt like throwing up and pushed the man’s chest wanting to escape.
Ethan, of course, wouldn’t let her go!
When Kylie swallowed the pizza, the man finally let her go. “Not bad,” he said, then took another tissue to clean Kylie’s mouth.
Seeing that, Dinah felt so envious. She really hoped Stephen could spoil her like that too.
Right at this moment, Stephen walked into the private room.
His sight fell on Ethan first, then on Kylie before he sat down next to Dinah.
Seeing he wouldn’t give her a glance, Dinah was mad and had a large bite of pizza.
Stephen frowned, and finally looked at her. “You’re getting disgusting.”
“People all eat pizza in this way!” Dinah said and had another bite. “Do you think they’re all disgusting?”
Stephen gave her a side glance, then unfold a napkin on his legs. “No one eats pizza the way as you do.”
Dinah disagreed. Kylie just had eaten pizza in a more disgusting way, but Ethan didn’t mind at all. He even shared it with her! Dinah thought she should share a slice of pizza with Stephen too.
Seeing that, Kylie pushed the plate of pizza to the front of Dinah.
Dinah pulled a slice out, but the sauce was splashed out by accident.
Before Stephen could avoid it, there were three dark stains left on her white suit.
“Oops, sorry,” Dinah said at once.
Stephen seemed to be in a bad mood, but he didn’t say anything, probably because Ethan and Kylie were here.
He used a wipe to clean her suit, like nothing had happened, and ignored Dinah.
“Is Sally awake?” Sally asked Kylie.
“Not yet when I left.” Kylie laid her hand on Ethan’s leg, looking at Stephen. “Are you familiar with Sally’s boyfriend?”
When she asked that, Kylie felt Ethan’s big palm covering her hand, and he tapped on the back of her hand.
Was it a hint for her?
“Not really,” Stephen said with a smile. “His family turned to me for help once before, but I didn’t agree.”
“Oh.” Kylie nodded, then changed the topic. “I heard you’re very famous in the medical industry, which is quite surprising.”
“He?” Dinah suddenly joined their talk. “He’s a talented doctor, but…”
Dinah suddenly noticed Stephen’s displeased look and stopped at once. “Well, I just heard of it too.”
Kylie understood Stephen must be hiding something from her.
She held Ethan’s hand with their fingers interlaced under the table.
Stephen couldn’t see what was going on under the table, but he could imagine what just had happened from the sauce on Ethan’s lips.
He didn’t look at Kylie, but asked her, “You’re eating a lot recently. Don’t you need to keep your figure?”
Chapter 375: Why Are You Smiling?
All of a sudden, Kylie remembered she had kept it a secret from a couple, especially Stephen, that she was pregnant now.
She turned her eyeballs and had an idea.
“Well, I actually didn’t want to tell you.” Kylie used a fork continuing to eat, and Ethan held her hand with greater force under the table. He was asking for her opinion.
Was she going to tell them right now?
Kylie turned her hand to hold Ethan’s before she said, “Lucas just helped me take an encouraging new role in a new film. It’s a story about a 150-pound fat woman who is abandoned by her husband, then loses a lot of weight to regain her confidence. The director said I’m too slim at the audition.”
Hearing that, Ethan was very satisfied.
Dinah had never followed Kylie working in a film set, so she believed her explanation.
“Acting really isn’t an easy job,” Dinah said. “I heard an actor also has gained a lot of weight for a role and then had to lose more weight for another role, which hurt his body.”
“Right.” Kylie nodded. “All for better performance in the film.”
Kylie and Dinah chatted with each other, but the two men seldom talked to one another till they finished the meal.
When they left, Stephen opened the car door for Dinah, but his eyes were fixed on Kylie’s body.
Seeing Ethan helping her sit in the car and fasten the safety belt with great care, Stephen was upset and annoyed.
The Knight XV drove away without delay in his sight, and he slammed the car door close in anger.
However, seeing Stephen wouldn’t get in the car after a long while, Dinah reached out to her head to have a check right at this moment.
“Ouch!” Dinah was mad. “What’s wrong with you?”
Stephen looked down at her, then abruptly pulled the car door open. “Get off if you don’t want to sit in my car!”
“Who do you think you are!” Dinah argued and got off it at once.
Stephen didn’t give her a glance, walking to sit on the driver’s seat and drove it away without hesitation. “What? You really abandon me here?” Dinah was shocked.
The Lamborghini moved fast ahead before it stopped on the road. Stephen hit the steering wheel with great force.
The blaring rasp of horn scared other passing vehicles away.
Stephen’s handsome face became twisted. He clasped the steering wheel clenching his teeth in annoyance. “Why, why it’s you!”
***
Kylie found out they were not moving to the direction of the Finch family’s house.
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“My family’s house. My mother misses you.” Ethan held the steering wheel with one hand and grabbed Kylie’s hand with another.
He covered her slightly cold hand in his big palm, then kissed its back.
Kylie approached him. “Why didn’t you talk to Star during the meal?”
“What do you expect us to talk with each other?” Ethan stares forward, driving steadily.
“Anything! I feel guilty if you won’t talk to each other anymore.” Kylie pinched his cheek. “You lost weight.”
“It’s all your fault.” He turned to give her a glance. His beautiful features looked more attractive under the flashing light.
Hearing that, Kylie pinched his cheek heavily.
Her fault?
She had warned him to restrict himself many times ever since she got pregnant.
However, he became more sexually active, claiming that the doctor said it was fine to have sex during pregnancy as long as it wasn’t violent.
Ethan’s good-looking face was twisted, but there was a broader smile on his lips.
“Why are you smiling?”
“You didn’t let me finish. I said it’s all your fault because I’m worried about our baby’s safety, given that you work all day.”
Kylie drew her hand back at once, feeling embarrassed.
Did she become a sensual woman after she married Ethan? No, it was a trap laid by him!
Kylie saw the man smiling with satisfaction.
The moment Knight XV moved into the Parker family’s spacious house, the housekeeper walked ahead and welcomed them home. “Lord Ethan, Lady Kylie, welcome home!”
When Kylie just got off the car, she heard a rapid running sound. She turned around and noticed Pupu, who was dashing towards her.
“Woof!” Pupu was so happy that it almost jumped into Kylie’s arms, but Ethan gave it a cold glance, so it had to be gentle and sat in front of Kylie within a second.
Kylie was struck dumb for a second, then laughed rubbing its head.
“Pupu! I miss you too.” After that, Kylie hugged Pupu’s head, wanting to kiss it.
However, Ethan pulled her back and said, “You’re pregnant now. Don’t be too close to Pupu.”
“Just a kiss.” Kylie looked at him.
Pupu also raised its head, looking at the man.
“No,” he said without a second thought.
“Just once.” Kylie lifted one finger, trying to negotiate with him.
“Woof!” Pupu seemed to be begging him too. Pupu and Kylie hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they missed one another so much.
The housekeeper glanced at Ethan, Kylie, and Pupu, then remained silent.
Ethan was so possessive of Kylie. Would he compete for Kylie’s love after their baby came out?
Ethan was silent for a few seconds, then finally said, “Once only.”
“Yes, sir!” Kylie didn’t hesitate and kissed Pupu with happiness.
She didn’t let Pupu go until she couldn’t breathe.
Pupu sat still but wagged its tail with excitement.
Kylie held Ethan’s arm walking inside and turned back to look at Pupu once in a while. “Ethan, Labradors are very gentle, docile dogs. Can Pupu live with us when the baby is out?”
Ethan compressed his lips but didn’t say a word.
If Pupu lived in the Finch family’s house with them, it wouldn’t be convenient for him to have sex with Kylie whenever and wherever he wanted, but Pupu did want to stay with Kylie.
He patted Kylie’s shoulder. “Sure.”
“Yay!” Kylie beamed and turned around to find Pupu, but it was absent.
In the living hall, old Mr. Parker’s eyes lit up the second Kylie walked in, but he remained serious because he was the patriarch in this family.
Therefore, he wore a serious face on purpose and gave old Mrs. Parker a glance.
Old Mrs. Parker understood it was time for her, as mother-in-law, to say something.
“Kylie, come here.” She pointed at the seat next to her.
Kylie felt a little embarrassed that old Mrs. Parker suddenly treated her so kindly. She looked at Ethan, and Ethan smiled at her, which was quite encouraging.
However, when Kylie was just seated, old Mrs. Parker asked, “Kylie, do you like the gifts?”
Gifts? Kylie was struck dumb. What gifts?
