His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 155: Didn’t You Really Like Sticking Close to Him Before?
Kiana Sutton and Connor Grant didn’t expect Ethan Sinclair to come out so quickly.
The two stood obediently, Connor Grant smiled ingratiatingly at Ethan Sinclair, "The Fifth Master..."
Kiana Sutton had a complicated expression, after just glancing at Ethan Sinclair, she silently lowered her head.
In Ethan Sinclair’s eyes, her gesture seemed like jealousy.
"Connor Grant, you go ahead and take Kate home." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Ah..."
Connor Grant was initially stunned, then immediately flashed a dazzling smile, "Alright."
Connor Grant eagerly ran over to Kate Lynch, "Miss Lynch, my car is parked over there, please wait a moment, I’ll go get it."
Kate Lynch was so angry her teeth were almost clenched to pieces; she had been so arrogant and triumphant moments before, now she was equally enraged and unwilling.
Ethan Sinclair had initially disliked Kiana Sutton; upon hearing about the couple’s bracelet, he immediately rushed out to find Kiana Sutton and removed the bracelet.
Wasn’t his action obvious enough?
If she wasn’t mistaken, Ethan Sinclair’s maneuver to bully Kiana Sutton earlier was meant to make her jealous.
Suddenly, her phone rang, seeing that Quentin Sinclair was calling, she directly hung up.
Soon after, he sent a WeChat message, "Either you come find me, or I’ll come find you right now."
Kate Lynch, who was already not in the best of moods, suddenly felt even worse.
Realizing Quentin Sinclair was nearby, Kate Lynch didn’t want Ethan Sinclair to see her getting close to Quentin Sinclair, so she smiled at Connor Grant, "No need, I have some errands to run around here, I’ll just walk."
Saying this, Kate Lynch walked over to Ethan Sinclair, "Ian, I have to go now, don’t forget what I told you this morning."
"Okay, be careful on the way."
Kate Lynch smiled, as if she wasn’t at all bothered by Ethan Sinclair not taking her home, "Got it."
However, once she turned and left, the smile on her face instantly vanished.
She absolutely wouldn’t give up like this!
After Kate Lynch left, the sensible Connor Grant adhered to his principle of not being a third wheel, and quickly slipped away on the excuse of having a stomach ache and needing to go to the restroom.
The street was busy with people coming and going; Ethan Sinclair and Kiana Sutton stood at a distance, separated by three or four meters.
Seeing Kiana Sutton standing like a wooden stump without any reaction, Ethan Sinclair took a few steps toward her, "What’s this? Planning to stand there until the end of time?"
Kiana Sutton didn’t respond to him, instead, she packed up the lunchbox on the chair.
In the next instant, the lunchbox in her hand was taken away by Ethan Sinclair.
Ethan Sinclair checked the lunchbox that had no temperature at all, furrowing his brows tightly, is this what she’s eating?
"Did you eat enough?"
Kiana Sutton didn’t understand what Ethan Sinclair was up to; he was just bullying her, and now he’s starting to care?
"I’m asking you a question?"
Kiana Sutton nodded slightly.
A chill slid through Ethan Sinclair’s eyes, she considered eating just this much enough, seems like she’s still angry with him.
Hmph, petty!
Across from them was a coffee shop, Ethan Sinclair glanced coldly at Kiana Sutton, "Follow me."
Completely bewildered, Kiana Sutton followed Ethan Sinclair into the coffee shop.
This guy, finished lunch and now going for coffee?
Seeing Kiana Sutton standing beside him, Ethan Sinclair frowned, "Sit down!"
Kiana Sutton obediently sat across from Ethan Sinclair.
"What would you two like to drink?"
"One cup of St. Helena Coffee, one matcha cake..."
Then he looked at Kiana Sutton, "What do you want to drink?"
Baffled by Ethan Sinclair’s change in attitude, Kiana Sutton was unsure but decided to make the best of the situation, she wrote a line on paper and handed it to the waiter.
"I’d like a glass of milk, thank you."
Seeing Kiana Sutton choose milk, Ethan Sinclair snorted lightly, "Come to a place like this to drink milk? You might be the first."
Facing Ethan Sinclair’s mockery, Kiana Sutton slowly gestured, "I don’t like coffee."
Kiana Sutton’s mind still wondered about Connor Grant’s words; if things were indeed what Connor Grant said, then she misunderstood Ethan Sinclair.
Should she apologize to him?
Just then, the waiter brought over the coffee and matcha cake.
Ethan Sinclair pushed the cake towards her, "Eat it."
Kiana Sutton was stunned, was this cake ordered for her?
How did he know she liked matcha cake?
She looked at Ethan Sinclair in disbelief, only to see him adjusting his sleeve.
Both of his wrists were missing that red bracelet.
What’s going on?
He was still wearing the red bracelet during the meal, why has it been taken off?
Or... he accidentally lost it?
Seeing Kiana Sutton staring at his wrist, Ethan Sinclair’s dark eyes flashed slightly, "What’s wrong?"
Kiana Sutton shook her head.
Clearly, Ethan Sinclair had noticed his wrist; if the bracelet were lost, he would certainly realize, so... he must have taken it off himself.
Kiana Sutton felt slightly at ease, picked up her fork and started eating the cake.
Turns out matcha cake was indeed delicious, sweet things first, followed by the silky and flavorful taste that sweetens the heart.
Kiana Sutton was a person easily satisfied; when Ethan Sinclair was mean to her, she felt very sad.
But as long as Ethan Sinclair showed a little kindness, her heart instantly leaned towards Ethan Sinclair.
Thinking of something, she hesitated for quite a while before slowly gesturing, "Thank you for the gift you gave me yesterday, I had no idea you personally went to Mount Providence to get it, I’m sorry..."
Ethan Sinclair’s gaze turned slightly cold, it was obvious that blabbermouth Connor Grant told her everything.
He was quite thorough about telling everything to Kiana Sutton.
"Huh... Didn’t you already refuse? Does an apology help?"
Kiana Sutton quickly shook her head, "No, I kept the bracelet, it’s in my room’s drawer."
Ethan Sinclair didn’t speak for a long time, and Kiana Sutton didn’t know what he was thinking.
After a while, he reached out his hand to her, "Come over."
Kiana Sutton stood up, cautiously walked over to him, and then was suddenly pulled into his arms.
Kiana Sutton was startled.
This was a coffee shop, and it was lunchtime with quite a few patrons present.
She instinctively wanted to get up, but Ethan Sinclair suddenly bit her earlobe lightly, causing Kiana Sutton to shiver slightly in pain, her face flushed red.
Fortunately, the two of them were seated in a corner, while everyone else was either engrossed in their phones or reading, nobody noticed them.
"Next time you dare refuse my gifts, see how I deal with you."
Kiana Sutton hastily shook her head, then recalled, hadn’t he said that night that he’d never give another gift, otherwise he’d be a fool?
Why mention ’next time’ then?
"Don’t get it twisted, I didn’t specially go to Mount Providence, just happened to pass by the place and decided to drop by, besides, the wish wasn’t solely for you; Grandma, Quinn, they all got one."
As soon as Ethan Sinclair finished speaking, he cursed under his breath.
How does this come off sounding like he was hiding something?
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Kiana Sutton seized the opportunity while Ethan Sinclair was answering to quickly escape him and obediently sit across, sipping her milk.
Ethan Sinclair cast a chilly glance at her, his mood displeased, wasn’t she the one clinging to him before? What’s with the shyness now?
The call was from the principal of Varden University, inviting Ethan Sinclair to attend their centennial anniversary celebration.
