Chapter 206 That Night
Ethan still remembered that night.
And although it was a long time, he could recall how he had feelings for Nancy at that time.
Moreover, he was also drunk, so if something happened between them, he was sure it was caused by hormones and had nothing to do with love.
That night, Kathy kept bugging and cursing Steven. Obviously, she was already under the influence of alcohol.
'How much did she drink?' Ethan thought as the smell of alcohol penetrated his nose while helping Kathy stand on her feet.
"Drink some water," he said, holding a glass before her mouth.
Kathy drank it in a fit of anger and squinted her eyes in a daze. "Honey, you are so kind. You are much better than Steven. That bastard always bullies me. But I still have to thank him tonight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you."
Ethan's face darkened while his jaw hardened. "Naughty girl. Stop talking, okay?"
If someone else heard these words, they'd probably mistaken the situation and think of something else.
What was worse, the woman in his arms was so drunk that she couldn't hear anything clearly anymore.
"Ethan, my good sister is so jealous of me. You love me, right? You know that I love you very much, very, very much..." As Kathy spoke, she leaned forward and kissed Ethan's lips. Before the latter could even react, their lips locked- much to his irritation.
'How could she take me as Steven?'
As he thought of that, Ethan couldn't help biting Kathy's lips.
But to his surprise, the little girl even smiled as if she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she whispered, "You're one bad man, huh? How can you be worse than that evil Steven?" Upon hearing this, he furiously lifted Kathy up and patted her on the shoulder, warning, "Kathy, if you keep talking, you'll get into trouble."
"Ahhll! How could you slap me?! I hate you..." Maybe it was because Steven had, time and again, hurt her and she was under too much pressure that Kathy really cried. Tears rolled down her cheeks like a river. More than that, she began to weep as if someone was whipping the shit out of her.
Ethan thought it would be better for them to leave as soon as possible; otherwise, this girl would stir a commotion.
However, Kathy, who was in his arms, fell asleep unexpectedly.
So he had no choice but to put Kathy on the bed and tuck her in.
And when he was about to get up and leave, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and muttered, "Ethan, will you marry me? I want to marry you."
Helpless at the girl's stubbornness, Ethan gritted his teeth to the extreme.
He tried to her pull her arms down, but she entangled with him like hot glue. "Ethan, please don't go. You love me, right?"
With her seductive voice and hazy eyes, Kathy slowly slid her hands from his neck down to his waist, unbuckling his belt.
This time, Ethan had to stay calm while his sharp eyes darkened. But his sexy Adam's apple trembled, and with a hoarse voice full of desire, he asked, "Kathy, do you really want it?"
While her head was spinning, Kathy found the strength to nod. However, she suddenly shook her head again. "I'm not...I want to..."
'She's driving me nuts!' Ethan cursed, tightly shutting his eyes.
He then lowered his head and bit Kathy's lips.
"Woman, remember, it was you who took the initiative!"
How could Kathy still be able to know these things? She was half-way through passing out on that bed. But even with the alcohol in her system, she couldn't deny being happy right now. 'Tm your woman for the rest of my life!" she exclaimed and felt Ethan's soft lips on hers.
The following morning, Kathy woke up with quite a headache.
As she rubbed her temples, she turned to look at the man lying beside her.
His well-sculpted face was even more handsome and charming against the morning light.
However, as her gaze surveyed the perfection of this man, her eyes widened in utter surprise. 'What?! Why was Ethan beside me and not Steven?'
she thought, covering her mouth with her hand.
Completely pissed off, she turned over and rode on Ethan, strangling his neck with both hands. "Ethan, you haunting devil! What did you do to me?!" she thundered while tightly gripping his neck. Feeling suffocated, Ethan quickly opened his eyes and saw Kathy gnashing her teeth, eager to swallow him alive.
He grabbed her hands and pulled her slightly, causing her to fall and lie flat on his body.
"Ethan!" she yelled, blushing from embarrassment.
"You were the one who clung on me last night. Did you forget? I did nothing! It's you who forced me to stay!"
Ethan had never seen a woman acting so rascal before!
"Nonsense! How could I... You bullied me, you bastard! How dare you defend yourself!" At this moment, Kathy desperately wanted to hit the wall. If what she was thinking really did happen, she and Steven would really be over!
And she couldn't stand the thought of that, not when this bastard was grinning from ear to ear, obviously liking that she slept with him!
While she struggled to break free from his grip, Ethan held her tighter.
"Woman, didn't anyone tell you that provoking a man who had just woken up is a terrible thing?" Ethan uttered while glaring at her. Then, with a playful tone, he uttered, "But I like it very much!" After another crazy hour, Kathy finally put on her clothes and ran downstairs as fast as she could.
Her whole body ached, and she was particularly sore in between her legs.
At this moment, she was completely lost and felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. And if she were to a step forward-just a step closer to Ethan-she would be doomed eternally. "Ethan, you bastard!" she yelled one more time before opening the door.
But the unapologetic man merely stared at her disappearing figure and uttered, "Kathy, remember, it's you who seduced me."
Helpless and utterly lost, Kathy ignored him and left without looking back.
Then, she called Steven to explain what happened last night.
"Steven..." Her voice was shaking. Obviously she was about to cry at any moment.
"Hello, Kathy." Meanwhile, Steven's voice rang from the other line, causing her to freeze while beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
For a moment, she wanted to ask him if he'd divorce her should something happen between Ethan and her.
"I know you're doing this for my own good. Don't worry. I trust you. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I have a project to review. I love you. Bye."
Without waiting for Kathy's answer, Steven hung up the phone, leaving the former even more lost than before.
The poor woman was forlorn; her wobbly legs were on the verge of giving up. She called to tell him everything, but he just dismissed her because of some project he had to review?
How could Steven be so indifferent? She was his wife!
As Kathy dwelled into a self-pity party, she felt the tears flowing on her face. And that moment, nothing could describe the pain that mantled her heart.
