Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 840 - : It’s Probably Love at First Sight_1

Chapter 840: Chapter 840: It’s Probably Love at First Sight_1

“However, don’t misunderstand me,” Ethan Zhekova added, “I don’t just approach every pretty girl I see.”

Wendy Clarke seemed a bit nervous, slightly lowering her head in a shy manner.

Ethan found her pretentious behavior nauseating.

Usually, whenever he’s out to have fun, it’s a consensual affair.

The girls are also very proactive, proving themselves to be spirited and fiery, exactly to his taste.

At first glance, Wendy Clarke didn’t seem like a naive girl.

...

Moreover, he had previously investigated Wendy.

He was aware of what sort of person she was.

Why does she need to feign shyness before him now?

It’s utterly off-putting.

She’d be better off showing her true colors from the get-go.

He’d rather she matched his intensity fireworks-for-fireworks right from the outset.

Anything would be better than her current sickeningly annoying behavior.

“So, being offered a drink by you is quite the honor,” Wendy Clarke said, affecting an air of sophistication.

Unfortunately, Ethan Zhekova had seen far too many genuinely sophisticated ladies.

Not some pretenders like Wendy Clarke.

Ethan Zhekova handed Wendy Clarke his business card.

“Ethan Zhekova,” he said with an indifferent smile. “Let’s be friends.”

Wendy Clarke took his card and, before even getting a good look at it, handed him her own. “Wendy Clarke,” she said.

Ethan took Wendy’s card and glanced at it with a casual look.

Wendy lowered her head to look at Ethan’s card.

She hadn’t noticed when he stated his name earlier.

Despite the striking similarities between Ethan Zhekova’s and Adrian Zhekova’s names.

But she did not connect Ethan to Adrian.

Then she looked at his business card and read it:

Deputy CEO of the Westington branch of Pingla Group: Ethan Zhekova.

Wendy Clarke looked sharply at Ethan, surprised, and exclaimed, “Pingla Group?”

Adding Ethan’s name to the mix as well,

Wendy’s lips moved slightly as she said, “You and Adrian Zhekova are…”

Ethan lowered his gaze, hiding the loathing in his eyes.

And there it is again.

People always first know about Adrian Zhekova.

Seeing his name, seeing his business card.

Their first reaction, always like Wendy’s, is to think of Adrian.

Asking whether he is related to Adrian.

Every time, he has to admit, he is Adrian’s younger brother.

But every time he does, Ethan feels an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

Why is it that people’s first thought is always Adrian?

Why is it that when he introduces himself, he always has to mention Adrian to be understood?

He doesn’t want to keep saying he’s Adrian’s brother.

He wants his own name to hold significance too.

He wants people’s first reaction to be recognizing him, Ethan Zhekova, not asking if he’s related to Adrian.

That’s why he’s fighting for the position of Family Head.

He wants to seize the Zhekova Family and make a name for himself.

From then on, when people see him, they’ll know who he is.

No longer will they ask him how he’s related to Adrian Zhekova.

They’ll just know, he is Ethan Zhekova.

But he wants more than just that.

In the future, when they meet Adrian Zhekova, they will ask him about his relation to Ethan Zhekova.

The people of the Zhekova Family will be associated with Ethan Zhekova, not Adrian Zhekova.

Keeping this ambition in mind, Ethan, with suppressed anger, pretended to surprise and asked, “You know Adrian Zhekova?”

Wendy Clarke gave a bitter smile, “Although he is beyond my reach, Adrian is indeed my brother-in-law.”

“However, ever since my sister married him, she has turned her back on us, busy distancing herself from our family and doing everything possible to cut ties with us,” Wendy Clarke said. “So, if you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t bring this up.”

She didn’t want to have the reputation of relying on Adrian Zhekova.

Feigning surprise, Ethan Zhekova said, “I had no idea there was such a connection.”

Ethan then laughed, “Adrian is my elder brother, and your sister must be Cindy Clarke, my sister-in-law.”

This time, Wendy’s surprised reaction was genuine.

She hadn’t expected to run into Adrian’s younger brother in a pub.

Just listening to their names, Adrian Zhekova, Ethan Zhekova.

Only a slight difference, but it exhibited how close their relationship was.

He wasn’t just another distant relative from the Zhekova family.

Nevertheless, Wendy cautiously asked, “Adrian is an only child. Are you his cousin?”

“That’s right.” Ethan managed to answer despite the bubbling anger, “My grandfather and Adrian’s…”

Ethan paused, explaining, “I mean Adrian’s grandfather were blood brothers.”

“My father and Adrian’s father.are first cousins, and Adrian and I are also first cousins.” Ethan explained.

Now Wendy was really excited, her heart pounding.

She had always resented her lot. Why did her less deserving sister Cindy encounter someone like Adrian Zhekova while she, who was clearly superior in so many ways, couldn’t find anyone nearly as good?

Even Edward Lopez dares debunk her.

But now, she’s met Ethan Zhekova!

Wendy felt that no matter where it was, gold will always shine.

She was superior and much better than Cindy, naturally Ethan Zhekova would be drawn to her.

Look, Ethan has come to her now, hasn’t he?

“To think, that we are connected in such a way.” Ethan said light-heartedly, “No wonder the moment I walked in I felt a certain affinity.”

Wendy seized the moment, “Why don’t we add each other on Whatsapp?”

Ethan had initially intended to hook up with Wendy.

There’s no way he would refuse her suggestion.

Ethan promptly agreed and added Wendy on Whatsapp.

“If there’s anything you need in Belfard, don’t hesitate to contact me,” Ethan said as he leaned closer to Wendy.

“If Cindy doesn’t help you out, I will,” Ethan said.

Wendy looked deeply moved, “Ethan, thank you.”

“After Cindy dismissed us, my heart shattered. I thought, if she doesn’t want to acknowledge us, then so be it. I’ll expand my business in Belfard without seeking her help, I can succeed on my own.”

“Who would’ve thought, my sister won’t acknowledge me, but you…”

Ethan suddenly raised his hand, His slender fingers touching Wendy’s lips.

“Don’t be sad,” Ethan said softly.

Wendy blushed, her heart beating rapidly at Ethan’s sudden closeness.

“Ethan, why… why are you so nice to me?” Wendy asked, puzzled. “We just met.”

Ethan gently rubbed his fingers over Wendy’s lips before slowly withdrawing them.

His other arm resting on the sofa’s backrest, seemingly cradling Wendy in his arms.

“I can’t explain it either, perhaps it’s just meant to be,” Ethan smiled, feigning a loving expression.

“But, you have met Cindy. Hasn’t she said anything bad about our family?”, Wendy asked again.

She intended to develop something with Ethan,

But she had to clear up the situation first.

“I only met her for the first time today,” Ethan replied.
