Ethan looked colder as his tone reduced in warmth too. “My patience is limited. If I really wanted to do something to you, I would have done it in the car, and you wouldn’t have been able to resist anyway. ”
Tiffany knew that it was futile to keep this up, so virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and got out of the car to follow virtual-novel.net into the house.
The house maintained its old look. Nothing was changed. The interior and furniture all held virtual-novel.net memories. Ethan had played his cards well, knowing that Tiffany could relax the most when being here. This was also why virtual-novel.net had brought virtual-novel.net here.
The nanny had already served the dishes on the table. Smelling the aroma of dinner, Tiffany was dazed for a moment, as if virtual-novel.net had gone back to the past where virtual-novel.net family of three lived happily. It was this man in front of virtual-novel.net that caused virtual-novel.net to become what virtual-novel.net was now, yet in the end, virtual-novel.net was taking virtual-novel.net back here as the owner of the house. Did virtual-novel.net want virtual-novel.net to feel touched or agonized? Whatever it was, it was laced with a sense of mocking.
Ethan had an arm behind virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net to the dining table. It was not like virtual-novel.net did not want to break free. Ethan had pinned virtual-novel.net down with too much force. She could not even escape his grasp.
Thinking that they were a couple, the nanny smiled kindly.
Ethan told her, “You can go back if you’re done. Come again tomorrow.” He did not like having strangers at home, so the housekeeper did not stay here.
The nanny nodded and left after taking off virtual-novel.net apron and doing some cleaning. As the door closed, Tiffany became nervous, it was only the two of them now.
“What do you actually… want from me?” virtual-novel.net asked with a trembling voice.
Ethan sat down beside virtual-novel.net and scooped virtual-novel.net favorite dish into virtual-novel.net plate, looking at virtual-novel.net sincerely, “I want to be good to you like how you were to me in the past. If you want, I can transfer the ownership of this house to you. ”
Tiffany sneered. “No need. The only thing I want now is for you to leave me alone for the rest of my life.”
Ethan’s face fell. “This is the first time I feel uncomfortable talking to you. Let’s not talk then. Eat.”
How could Tiffany possibly have the appetite? She barely ate a bit with Ethan forcing virtual-novel.net to, not even tasting the food. The fear within virtual-novel.net seemed to have spread to virtual-novel.net taste buds, as all virtual-novel.net could make out was the taste of fear.
When dinner was finally done, virtual-novel.net got up and said, “I should go back.”
Ethan did not plan on letting virtual-novel.net go just like that. “You’re not going to keep me company? But shouldn’t you at least make me happy? I just want to spend some time nicely with you.”
He was going to drive Tiffany crazy. “But I don’t want to spend time with you! I took the rape in Ari’s place, but what’s next? What do you plan to do to her? Or me? She left the Tremont’s estate and Mark. Stop going after her, okay? Why must you involve Ari for what’s between you and Mark? If you really hate Mark to the core, go to virtual-novel.net directly, don’t do abominable things like this!”
Ethan looked like virtual-novel.net was persuaded. “Is this what you hope? If it is, stay by my side. I’ll do as you wish. If you can forget everything that’s happened in the past and be with me, I can do whatever you want.”
Tiffany felt that virtual-novel.net was being ridiculous. He was never a man who would be manipulated by a woman. Even if virtual-novel.net had agreed to stay with him, virtual-novel.net could never stop him. “I don’t believe you. Tell me, how much longer are you going to keep a leash on me with those videos? You should know me by now. I can sacrifice anything if you force me into a corner. Even if you post the videos online, I can still live well in a countryside village. I don’t have many strong points, but I am thick-skinned. If that could give me my peace, I’d rather you do it sooner!”
She could really do it, without a care. Even if virtual-novel.net bled and was hurt everywhere, virtual-novel.net wanted to stay as far away from virtual-novel.net as possible.
Ethan clenched his jaw and closed his eyes. “You want me to let you go. How am I letting myself go? Fine, I understand. I actually erased those videos that night. I didn’t save anything, nor do I plan to blackmail you with them. Leave. Don’t ever appear in front of me again, let all my hopes about you be destroyed. Let me reap what I sow! But I’ll warn you, if I see you again, I won’t let go again the next time!”
Tiffany could cry from virtual-novel.net joy. Did virtual-novel.net say that virtual-novel.net was letting virtual-novel.net go? Her immediate reaction was to turn and leave, but virtual-novel.net tugged virtual-novel.net tightly and kissed her.
As virtual-novel.net struggled to push Ethan away, virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net even tighter. “Don’t struggle…”
If this was really the last time, if they would not be meeting each other ever again after this, virtual-novel.net would put up with it…
After a long time, Ethan let go of Tiffany and turned around. “Leave!”
As if being pardoned, Tiffany left as if virtual-novel.net was fleeing for virtual-novel.net life. Coming to the broad streets, virtual-novel.net finally smiled. Her steps were light and gleeful like a child’s. At the same time, tears fell. Turning back, the more than familiar house stood in the dark. It was the ‘castle’ in virtual-novel.net childhood memory, but virtual-novel.net would not get to see it again.
