41 Chapter 41: She Felt Bad (1/2)

There sat a woman with a beautiful profile and long dark hair. It was like the color of... the chunk of mud that Pupu had given her.

She closed the curtains and took out Pupu's mud-caked statue from her bag. It did indeed look like a statue, the more she looked at it.

It was an abstract, dry statue, but when she looked closely, she could make out the shape of a woman: those abstract lines could be the hair...

This time, Kylie felt bad.

She remembered the first time she had asked Lord Ethan whether she could keep Pupu's gift, and he had refused. So why the hell had he agreed this time?

Kylie tossed the statue aside, and it rolled on the floor. Although it had hit the ground with force, it remained intact.

She lifted the blankets over her body and lay still in anger.

Fine, she thought, the statue was innocent. And it was from Pupu, not Ethan, so she picked it up.

She got out of bed, with bare feet, and placed the statue back in her bag.

But when she returned to bed, she couldn't sleep.

For the past several years, she had become used to sleeping alone. Yet, she found that with only a couple of days sleeping by Ethan's side, she now depended on his presence to feel sleepy.

Her head rested on the pillow, and she could feel him. His smell was everywhere in the room, which drove her crazy.

But Ethan didn't return, as she had expected.

After dinner, the butler took her luggage to the door. ”Ma'am, shall I call a car to drive you?”

”No! I can do this myself.” Kylie chewed at the gum in her mouth. She didn't like going to work, but this was different; it felt like traveling.

She wore sweatpants, just like a student.

”But I do want to say something to you,” Kylie said to the butler.

”Of course, ma'am.” He bowed.

Kylie chewed some more and said: ”I want to take Pupu with me.”

The butler stopped and didn't know how to reply to her. Lucy had instructed him never to refuse directly.

Pupu had never shown any enthusiasm to anyone, except Lord Ethan. But since he had taken over his new business, he hadn't been around very much to care for Pupu. Perhaps this would be a good idea.

”Please wait a minute, ma'am, I will call sir and ask him if it's all right.”

Kylie let him call the number. She looked peaceful and kept her eyes on the butler.

Watching him walking towards her, she felt nervous, and her heart began to beat quickly.

It would be impossible to expect an apology from Lord Ethan. But she wanted his attitude to improve, and she wanted him to comfort her. Only then would she forgive the things that had happened last night. After all, she was a fool to remain mad at him.

She smiled and was ready to speak on the phone to him.

The butler looked at her for a second, then put on a serious expression.

It was as if Lord Ethan had materialized in front of her, in the form of his butler. He nodded from time to time, as he spoke on the phone.
