CHAPTER 45: Ethan decides to talk to Lawreence about the car
Last Updated:
2026-01-07 17:01:57They arrived at the workshop just before ten.
The building stood apart from the road, wide and clean, with tall doors and quiet surroundings. Inside, the smell of oil and polish filled the air. Several cars rested under bright lights. At the center stood a red Rolls Royce.
The scratch on the door was long and clear.
Pearl stopped walking.
A man in a dark suit approached them. He looked at Pearl and then at Ava. “You are Pearl Adams.”
“Yes,” Pearl replied.
“This way,” he said, gesturing toward the car.
Pearl followed, her steps slow.
“This vehicle belongs to our employer,” the man said. “The paint cannot be r

He let her believe she was right.Ava continued, “Pearl will be so relieved. She cried yesterday. This will give her hope again.”Ethan listened without speaking. Her happiness warmed something inside him, but a thin line of guilt stayed at the edge of his thoughts.He had used his power freely to protect her peace, yet he could not tell her any part of it. She believed he was just an ordinary employee making calls on behalf of his boss.He kept that image for her, hiding the truth away from her.Ava took another bite of breakfast, calmer now. “Golden… thank you again. Truly.”He watched her quietly and answered in a low voice. “You do not need to thank me.”She smiled gently. “I will thank you anyway.”Ethan lowered his gaze.In his mind, he said only one thing:‘So this is what it means to protect someone without showing your identity.&

Ava stood from the table slowly. She almost looked lighter, though the worry still touched her eyes. “Goodnight, Golden.”“Goodnight,” he replied.She walked into her room, closing the door gently behind her. He waited until the room settled into quiet before leaning back in his chair.He stared at the table for a long time.A wry breath escaped him. He had given Lawrence every encouragement to press charges and demand full repairs. He had supported him with confidence, saying the family should take responsibility. He had no idea he was speaking about a child tied to his wife.Now the situation sat directly in his hands.He rubbed his forehead slowly and picked up his phone. The screen lit the dim room.Golden pressed his palms together as he waits for the call to connect. But the line was busy.He had to protect Pearl for Ava’s sake. But more than that, he felt troubled inside him.He was pro

The Wrong Bride CHAPTER 44: Lawrence told Pearl how much to pay for the car repair
“I did not see him move,” the grandmother continued faintly. “He picked up a small stone. He scratched one of the cars. He wrote words on the door.”Pearl leaned forward. “What words”“Big Bad Man,” the grandmother whispered.Pearl’s breath caught sharply. “He scratched a car with stone paint… Mama, no… no…”She sank to the side of the sofa. Her heart beat faster.This was more than a scratch, this was danger, ‘and the words?’The grandmother continued with a shaky voice, “A guard saw the mark. Then another one came. They shouted, Jay panicked. He ran into the crowd. They chased him. They chased the child.”Pearl shut her eyes tightly.“They found him near the fountain,” the grandmother said. “He was crying, they took him aside. They asked questions. They said the car belongs to a billiona
The Wrong Bride CHAPTER 43: Lawrence collects Pearl's phone number
The fear in her voice grew. “Please, he is frightened. Do not scare him more.”Nobody answered.The chase continued, the guards searching every corner for Jay. The boy hid behind a row of boxes near the tidying area. His breath shook, his small hands trembled against the floor.He did not understand the seriousness of what he had done. He only knew he was scared.Pearl’s grandmother stood alone in the crowd, holding Savior, praying Jay would come out before the guards made things worse.There was tension in the air, the angry presence of the guards made people started heading home.None of them knew that Ethan and Lawrence stood only a short distance away; and that the slightest word from either man could change everything.The guards tightened their search area. They moved with practiced steps, their voices steady, their radios crackling with updates. People in the amusement park slowly stepped asi
The Wrong Bride CHAPTER 42: Jay ruins Lawrence car
Ethan’s expression changed almost imperceptibly, but he did not answer.Below them, Pearl’s grandmother guided the two children toward the small slide. Savior laughed as she slid down for the second time. Jay clapped for her, and she clapped back.Lawrence nodded suddenly toward the crowd. “Look there the children are so happy.”Ethan followed his gaze but saw only families. His eyes moved slowly from face to face until they fell on the two children running near the fountain. Pearl’s grandmother walked behind them.He did not know who they were, but he watched them for a moment. The calm in their laughter stirred something inside him; something familiar.He usually kept his life tight and well ordered. Seeing this open joy reminded him of a life far from the one he lived.“Your mind is elsewhere,” Lawrence said.“Just watching,” Ethan replied.“Children change everything,” Lawrence said softly. “Their presence shifts your priorities. They make you see life differently.”Ethan nodded.
