My Billionaire Boss Is Jealous Of My Boyfriend - Chapter 26
It was an adventure.
An adventure Ethan embarked on with this crazily interesting girl!
He was though not the kind of guy who loved adventures but the way Casey Ho showed interest in her sister’s love life and followed her boyfriend like a spy, it was amusing him. He saw the watch on his wrist from time to time yet there was nothing he can do to stop her. Because, he did not just want to stop her.
Growing up in a house consisting only his parents and him alone, he had a boring childhood. Not to forget the dozens of servants that took his care however never in his entire life had Ethan felt so lively.
He was mad at his parents for deciding to shift in Venice from his birth town, he did not want to live in a new place as he was not the type of guy who can mix in with people easily. He was rather a tough guy who grew up feeling neglected by his parents.
If his father was a great merchant of diamond who stayed five days away from the house out of the seven days of the week for business purpose, then his mother was an ambitious woman who preferred to spend her time in kitty parties and enjoying the luxury of a wealthy life.
His life seemed a big joke few years ago when he was bȧrėly ten or twelve years old. Ethan had witnessed his parents on bed with different partners. In each other’s absence, they would sleep around with different people and looked like they knew about it but never raised the topic as if it was a part of some kind of contract that they have had signed!
Any which ways, life happened and years flew by. Watching his parents hanging around with partners other than each other became a normal thing that he accepted who heartedly. It did not take him a long time to recognize that his mother was his father’s second wife, and she was divorced from her previous husband just like how his father divorced his former wife and abandoned his first son.
Things for him seemed more of a joke when he also learned that he had a step brother, actually TWO step brothers!
Ethan realized his either parents (Mom and dad) had one son from their former partners. It hurt Ethan when he learned that both of his step brothers lived on their own, alone.
It was one of the biggest shock Ethan could experience as a teenager until he realized that one of his step brothers (his mother’s first child) lived in the same city as his, Venice. He was Emmett Li.
He knew about his step brother from his father’s, he was living in Korea.
Ethan was heart broken to realize that his mother decided to go back to the same city where she had left her first kid behind. He felt so pathetic that he stopped talking to her as he can feel his step brother’s emotions.
How would he (Emmett) feel after learning that his mother had another child?
How would he be able to survive after learning that the mother who left him when he was just a kid has returned to stay in the same city as his?
How would he stay calm after seeing her pictures in the magazines with her second son?
Ethan was all in all caught by guilt from all the four sides feeling bad for his step brother, Emmett Li.
Ethan empathized his step brother. And the empathy was so intense that after they landed in Venice, he promised himself to never talk to his mother nicely. He even promised himself to never smile but today… He just can’t stop smiling!
And the reason was right beside him— Casey Ho!
Casey Ho was slender and soft with brown waist length hair that tumbled behind her back in waves of silk. Her complexion was almost porcelain; every time she gritted her teeth, her cheek turned red and it was there for him to see. Her features were delicate; she had an ethereal beauty that was refined. She was of medium height, and she was so slender that her body was graceful and dainty. No matter how skinny and delicate she appeared from the outside, she was an equally ferocious rude girl from the inside. And that was what intrigued Ethan.
Last day when he joined the school and attended the first day of his school in the class, he had almost every second student coming and greeting him. All the girls approached him with excuses of lending him notes, books or whatever they had solid for showcasing as an excuse— except her.
He ȧssumed she was just showing off her attitude since she is the class president but no, she was anyway bent on being rude to him! Just him! And he was curious to know why.
“Wait.. Wait… Wait!!!” Ethan was snapped out of his thought land by her alert voice.
He immediately stilled in his spot as the two of them spied from behind a wall at Eric Mo who was talking on phone with someone. He smiled with an arched brow watching how her arm, (that she has used to stop him) rested across his ċhėst. He noticed her nails were perfectly trimmed but not so small that they won’t hurt, her skin had no wrinkles at all and most importantly, her tiny fingers were so baby like that Ethan just urged to touch them and entwined them with his own!
He was lost in her thoughts yet again until, “What…. The…. Fuckkkk!” he heard her curse grievously as at the same time his eyes narrowed watching how her nails dug in his ċhėst pricking his skin.
That was interesting regardless!!!
Tbc…
