Chapter 538 - 538: Stephen Invisible Presence (1/2)

She walked to Ethan's side but had no intention to sit down. ”The dinner party shall begin soon. I think it's not necessary for me to be present. Can we go back home now?”

Ethan stood up and hugged her waist with one arm. ”Do you feel a little tired?”

”Yeah.” Kylie leaned on his chest.

Ethan turned to look at Nate. ”Enjoy yourself. I need to go home with Kylie.”

”Bye, leave the rest of the things to me.” Fannie smiled.

Kylie didn't walk out through the hall but left with Ethan from a side door.

When she was about to open the car door of the Knight XV, she sensed someone was looking at her back. She turned around at once.

The glass door they just came out of was the induction door.

It stood to reason that the door should be closed early on since she and Ethan already walked to the side of the car. However, when she turned around, the glass door was still closing at a slow pace.

It meant someone did has followed them behind and was about to walk out with them too but hid away when Kylie turned around.

Ethan also gave a glance at their back, then pulled the car door open. He could sense the strong presence of his brother, but he can't tell Kylie about it. Despite Stephen stood invisible next to them, Ethan pretended he saw nothing.

”Get in now. It's cold outside,” Ethan said.

Kylie hesitated for a while, then sat on the passenger's seat. When Ethan walked by the head of the car, she glanced at the glass door again.

The door stood there in silence without anyone around it.

The car left the parking lot, and it was filled with warm wind inside. ”What are you thinking?”

Ethan held Kylie's hand and asked her all of a sudden.

”What?” Kylie was struck dumb for a second. ”Oh, nothing.”

”Do you find it's too unbelievable that the drawing was sold out at the price of 10 million dollars?” Ethan smiled.

Kylie nodded. ”Yeah, I don't think it's worth that much money.”

”Do you know why?” Ethan asked.

Kylie licked her lips and looked out of the car window.

The sun already disappeared from the sky and left some sunlight, which dyed clouds orange. It wasn't the time when stars showed up, but there was an unusually bright star shining.

”Because it's a good drawing made by you.” Kylie withdrew her sight and turned to look at Ethan.

Ethan loosened Kylie's hand, then moved his hand up to catch her arm.

Kylie understood Ethan was reminding her that her arm was shaking again. Her arm shook once she lied.

After being silent for a while, Kylie asked, ”When you helped me finish the drawing, did you do it on purpose?”

Ethan focused ahead. ”Yes.”

They didn't talk to each other anymore along the way home.

It seemed the conflict between him and Stephen was insolvable.

She also reflected on herself. Ethan wasn't secure because she didn't make him feel so when they were together.

If she had stayed a clear distance away from Stephen, Ethan wouldn't have felt so insecure.

They shared dinner in silence, too, then Kylie walked to the terrace after washing her face and brushing her teeth. She saw Ethan stood there.

The moonlight stretched his shadow on the floor, and it looked helpless.

Ethan slightly raised his head, staring at the dark night sky. The light in his eyes shone brighter than stars.
