Ethan's pov.“You shouldn't make the decision for her, you know, she is an adult and doesn't need any bee to talk In her stead,” I rolled my eyes while Selina gave me a surprised stare which I knew the meaning without her saying it.“As you can see, I was having a discussion with her before you barged in. If you don't mind, you can wait back in your car while we finalize our discussion,” Dawin's doe eyes were locked with mine, his teeth gritted and his knuckles mercilessly tightened.I smirked, showing some side of my teeth, “I didn't know hugging and passing an apple around is now some discussion,” Selina chuckled at the sarcasm. She jumped in between us and said, “Can you guys stop already? Actually, I haven't had a meal today, I think I will just go with Ethan,” she said to Dawin, whose eyes held disappointment.This time around, he had no choice than to let her go. I stuck out my tongue at him, half of my body shielding Selina's gaze so that she doesn't see how I mock him.Dawin g
~Selina~The first thing I felt was fear, “You are a – Virgin, right?” He asked, earning a meek nod from me. I never thought that would be a huge deal to him.“Sorry, I need to take a shower, I feel very hot,” he fanned his face and stood up. My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach as sadness enveloped me. Ethan prefers to take a cold shower than to touch me? I blinked back the tears in my eyes. Sluggishly, I dragged my feet up and went to pick a dress from the closet. The embarrassment I am feeling is so overwhelming that I couldn't even imagine sitting or discussing with him.The moment I changed into new wear, I walked back to the bed and hid myself under the sheet. Minutes later, I heard the bathroom door open, followed by a couple of steps. I even knew when he got to my bedside even though my eyes were fully shut.He stared down at me and confirmed that I was asleep before he joined me under the sheet.“Good night princess, I promise to treat you well,” he placed a gentle k
~Selina~Ethan released me, stood up, and readjusted his rumpled shirt; he gave me one last look before stepping away from me. “Tell Aria that I have left,” I nodded absentmindedly.…A few minutes later, Aria entered the living room, looking refreshed with droplets dropping from her hair. She has a towel in her hand that she is using to dry her hair.“Where is he?” She eyed every corner of the room for him. “He left already. He said he has an emergency to attend to.” Aria rolled her eyes and scoffed. “As if that is true, why did he even rush down to Paris? Did he tell you any reason for that?” My heart slammed hard against my chest.“Hmn… no, no, he didn't.” I stuttered, unable to maintain my gaze with her. Aria didn't hesitate when she noticed my strange reaction. “You know, I think you are hiding something from me.”I became alerted. I think it's time I stop saying anything, before I go rant out everything that has happened. “Talk to me Selina, is everything okay?” She took her s
~Selina~I swirled the wine glass around while I relaxed back on the beach chair, peeking at the beauty of the beach through my lens. With my side eyes, I saw a familiar figure approaching. I hurriedly readjusted my short sarong so it would reveal less flesh.“Hey gorgeous,” Dawin greeted. I turned my head in his direction, and I was jaw-dropped by his celebrity figure. Dawin was naked up to his waist; his fair chest was visible in the darkness. He looked well-toned and handsome—although it's nothing compared to that of Ethan's.Wait! Am I thinking about that man again? I slapped my face a little. Dawin grew concerned and ran to my front. “Is everything okay? Is there some fly around? It's nighttime already; why are you still outside? Come, let me take you in,” he dragged my hand and pulled me up.In all honesty, I wasn't ready to leave yet. I already planned to enjoy night nature until daylight, but seeing Dawin's concerned face, I couldn't refute him.He led me to the reservation ha
~Ethan~I watched the excitement on Selina's face as she packed her luggage in preparation for their upcoming vacation. She sat on the floor as she sorted out outfits for the one-week vacation.“Hey,” she called out to me while I feigned a cough. I took a cup of water, stood from my corner of the bed, and approached her.“You couldn't even volunteer to pack up for me. Can't you try to be intentional for once?” She fumed with an eye roll.Sneering, I pocketed my two hands in my pocket. “I could be intentional in other ways, yunno. It might be in the form of a body massage ooorr…" She threw a pillow at me.Her lips had a stifled down smile on them. “You are just very shameless. I meant you should help me pack my needs. Who needs a body massage?” She blinked cutely, and I smiled as I almost forgot how cute she is whenever she is angry. Now I know where Avery got her load of cuteness from.I feel like poking at her cheeks and rubbing my hands over her porcelain-like facial flesh.“Are you
~Selina~Ethan and I simultaneously turned around at the sound of Arthur. To our relief, he was just talking in his sleep. I tucked him properly in his bed and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.I saw a frown form on Ethan's face; this made me feel dejected. So his contract still stands. I think I should know my place now.“So…” I heard Ethan's voice and stood up from the bed. “I am thinking, can Sage stay with him till he recovers? Since you are going on a vacation, that will relieve you as well.”Wow! Why haven't I thought of that? Hearing it from him excited me more. I can't wait for the kids to bond with each other.Without thinking or wasting time, I replied, “Sure, sure, he can stay with him. I will just ask him if he is okay with it.” Ethan nodded, and we concluded at that point.We both acted like strangers put together in a room; no one spoke anything to each other. Ethan's gaze was fixed on his phone; he was seriously typing like his life depended on it. Why does it seem like
