53 Chapter 53: I’ll Be Back Soon (1/2)
”No...They're not!” Kylie retorted, her face flushed.
Ethan did not put it bluntly, but now he held her hand, and they moved on.
When passing a street lamp, their shadows were elongated: one was long, the other was short, and they were holding each other's hands.
Looking down at the shadows of herself and Ethan, Kylie, for a moment, felt that this was the happiness she wanted.
She thought: if this marriage is real, it seems that we should hold each other's hands and walk till we become old. She smiled with her eyes bent forward. The smile on her face was no longer fake, but natural and beautiful.
Even Kylie herself did not notice that her heart no longer belonged to Aiden, but to the man beside her.
Ethan's hands were big and full of strength and warmth. Now that he was holding her, Kylie was reassured.
They walked around Toprak Mansion. ”How can the house be so big?!” Kylie asked with emotion. ”But it's really spectacular, with European elements and a little Chinese style.”
”Do you like it?” He strongly pressed her on her shoulder.
Kylie thought about it seriously, then nodded. ”Who could not like such a great house?”
The mansion was big with good architecture, and had an artificial lake behind it; she certainly liked it.
”When we divorce, you'll get it.” Ethan's hand, which was on her shoulder, moved slightly.
Hearing that, a woman who loved to take petty advantage of people, like Kylie, was supposed to be happy. But now her heart seemed empty, and the smile on her face looked a bit fake.
”Well, if you're homeless, then you're welcome to live here.”
She could not make out his face in the shadow of the trees. Kylie did not see the smile on his face.
The next day, they set off to Connell.
Since it was a honeymoon, the driver, Elliot, and Pupu, were forbidden to go with them.
Kylie jumped on the front passenger seat of the Knight XV, touching here and there excitedly. ”This car is really cool!”
Ethan squinted at her. His lips moved like he was about to say something, but Kylie interrupted him: ”When will we arrive?”
She was a little afraid that he would repeat those other words.
It seemed that as soon as she showed her fondness for something, he said: 'When we divorce, you'll get it.' At the moment, she did not want to hear anything more about divorce.
Ethan said gently, with his eyes looking straight ahead: ”An hour, so you can sleep for a while.”
Kylie nodded, but she could not sleep.
The Knight XV was her dream car, but she had never had a chance to appreciate it before...
After suppressing her desire for a while, Kylie asked him obsequiously: ”Can I take a drive?”
”No way,” Ethan responded expressionlessly.
”Just a few minutes...” She took the initiative to clasp his arm and acted coquettishly.
Kylie felt disgusted with herself, but she really wanted to drive her dream car.
Ethan tilted his head and took a look at her, his sight falling on his arm, which was deliberately being rubbed against Kylie's breasts.
His breath became heavier, and the blood in his body was rushing to the same place. He blinked his eyes hard and did not respond.
Kylie did not give up either. She moved forward and gently exhaled in his ear.
”Dear...”
Suddenly, the car squeaked to a stop.
Ethan's face darkened. In an effort to suppress his desire, his eyebrows were trembling. He pulled up the handbrake, then said in a cold voice: ”Ten minutes!”
”Yes, sir!” Kylie jumped happily out of the car and changed seats with Ethan. As soon as Ethan got back in the car, he immediately fastened his seat belt.
It was a new road, under construction, and not yet officially open, so there were almost no other cars on the road. Otherwise, he would not have let her drive; he had his own limits.
