Loving A Stranger - Chapter 538

Fannie glanced at Kylie. Kylie smiled and said, “I did.”

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.

Kylie wasn’t annoyed at Ethan’s behavior but felt confused about why Ethan became so insecure in a romantic relationship.

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.

Ever since they planned to catch Stephen, Ethan began to smoke again, but he wasn’t really smoking. Instead, he just lit a cigarette, then sandwiched it between his fingers.

He loved the smell when tobacco burnt.

Hearing light footsteps coming behind him, Ethan put out the cigarette on the guardrails. Before he could turn around, a pair of soft arms laid on his waist.

Kylie placed her head on his back, taking a long breath in.

“Don’t do that. My body is cold,” Ethan said.

Kylie reached her hands out and covered his big cold palms in her hands. “Let me help you warm them up.”

She just took a shower and smelled good. Ethan soon relaxed in her warm hug.

He turned and walked back to the bedroom with Kylie, then closed the door of the terrace.

He helped Kylie dry her hair as usual.

The wind blew over his hand. He didn’t point the hairdryer at Kylie’s hair until he felt the wind temperature was fine. Her hair was as smooth as always with a faint fragrance.

The hairdryer was a little loud when it worked so that Ethan didn’t hear what Kylie just said to him.

Seeing Ethan focusing on drying her hair in the mirror, Kylie stopped him by holding his hand.

Ethan glanced at her, then turned the hairdryer off. “Is it too hot?”

“No.” Kylie pulled the hairdryer off his hand. “There is something I want to tell you.”

Ethan panicked a little. “I need to use the bathroom.”

Kylie stood up and pulled him back. Her heart ached when he wanted to escape away from her. “I’ll wait for you in bed.”

“Great.” Ethan nodded, then strode into the bathroom.

Kylie covered herself in the quilt and played games on the tablet. However, Ethan was still absent after she had played two rounds.

“Baby, are you good?” Kylie raised her voice and asked.

“Why don’t you sleep before me?” Ethan said.

“I can’t if we don’t talk about it,” Kylie shouted to the door of the bathroom.

A few seconds of silence later, the door was opened. Ethan probably had washed his face, so his hair was a little wet.

He walked to the bed, looking down at Kylie. “What do you want to tell me? I need to read some documents later.”

Kylie uncovered herself and patted her side to tell Ethan to lie down.

Ethan hesitated for a while, then listened to her.

“Ethan.” She hugged him at once, but she felt his body was a little stiff. “Do you hate it?”

“No,” Ethan said and covered Kylie’s bare shoulder with the quilt. “We can talk now.”

Kylie stared straight at his eyes. The longer she remained silent, the faster his heart beat was.

“Ethan, I don’t want to lie to you.” Kylie laid her head on his chest, hearing his strong heartbeat. “I can’t forget Stephen. Probably I can’t forget him forever.”

Hearing that, Ethan stiffened. He was afraid to hear that, but it still finally came. Was she going to tell him how important Stephen was in her heart?

He made up his mind. Once Kylie told him she cared about Stephen, he would leave here with the excuse that he needed to work.

“But you’re my love. You’re my love forever,” Kylie whimpered.

Ethan couldn’t believe his ears. “What did you say?”
