125 Chapter 125: Revive His Wife (1/2)

Ethan was feeling tired; he had been in meetings all day. On top of that, he had not a moment to even eat lunch, so his stomach was growling. Looking at the time, he noticed it was 7 o' clock. If he caught a flight now, he would be back home by 9 or 10 pm. He smiled the thought of Kylie waiting for him in their bed.

Ethan admitted this seemed like a dream. He had never thought he would fall in love, let alone marry. That, too, is his nephew's ex-girlfriend. That all changed when his eyes first fell on Kylie Finch. She was simply exquisite, her body, her deep eyes, her soul. Everything about her was perfect, and before Ethan knew it, he was falling head over heels for Kylie Finch.

That certainly did not mean their marriage was a breeze. Oh no! Keeping their relationship a secret was the hardest thing to do, especially when Ethan considered Kylie the love of his life. He wanted to take her out to eat at restaurants, take her shopping, and go out to watch movies, but they could not do anything like that all because of that damn Laurence Finch and his bitch of a daughter, Khloe.

Ethan stepped out of his office and walked towards the lobby. Everyone had gone by home by now except for his secretary, Bella, who was tidying up getting ready to leave. She was an annoying little thing, always offering Ethan this or that. He was not stupid; he could see how she threw herself at him, but Ethan could care less. He had thought of replacing her, but she was damn good at her job, so Ethan continued to ignore her advances.

”Have a night,” Ethan smiled at her.

”Good night Mr. Parker,” Bella replied, perking up immediately. She bounced up to him, fixing her shirt. Ethan noticed how she pulled her shirt down, trying to expose her neckline, but his eyes stayed on her face.

”Um…so Mr. Parker. You have not eaten at all today. I was thinking…I mean, I haven't eaten either, so I'm sure you must be hungry…?” she rambled on.

”Thanks, but I have to get home right away,” Ethan replied sincerely and turned around. ”Have a good night Bella.”

Bella's face immediately fell, but Ethan continued on walking. He was almost out the door when he heard Bella calling him again.

”Mr. Parker?”

Ethan sighed and rolled his eyes, ”What is it Bella?”

”I almost forgot to tell you. Someone named Jules Finch kept on calling you. I told her to stop calling as you were busy. Don't worry, Mr. Parker, and I blocked her number after. She sounded like one of those pesky reporters.”

Ethan became immediately alert when Bella mentioned the name, Kylie Finch. He knew it had to be Kylie, but why was she calling his office?

”What did she say, Bella? Did she say why she was calling?” Ethan asked, trying to keep his panic at bay. It was alright, and he tried to reassure himself. Kylie probably forgot something; maybe that was why she called?

Bella hesitated when she saw that 'Jules' was indeed someone that Ethan knew.

”Um…Mr. Parker? Do you know her? I…I thought that...”

Ethan cut her off, ”Bella, what did she say?”
