Chapter 35 Kisses Left Red Marks
She was so worried that she angrily yelled at him not to go too far, and she hated him. In his waking state, Ethan's left hand froze at her sudden words.
Did she really hate him that much, even in her dreams?
A slightly distorted smile appeared on his handsome face, tinged with an insoluble bitterness. The tenderness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by coldness and hardness, and he was about to turn and leave.
But when his gaze fell on the thin blanket, he stopped.
Walking to the office, Lilly knocked on the door, only to find that it opened as soon as she knocked and wasn't actually locked.
She pushed the door lightly, and a strong cigarette smell hit her nose, causing her to cough several times and her eyes to turn red.
This cigarette smell was stronger than the one she'd smelled in the living room at noon! Without thinking, Lilly pushed the door open and called "Mr. Romano" several times, but no one answered.
Her heart immediately panicked.
The cigarette smell was so strong, she called several times, but there was no answer. Could something have happened?
She anxiously walked a few more steps inside. There was no one in front of the desk, and no one on the sofa either.
That's strange, he left? But for the past two months, he had barely left the house: he picked her up from the villa every morning and drove her back to the apartment after dinner.
She, too, felt uneasy. Why was the president so busy?
But Ethan was rarely out during the day, while the secretary often came to the villa with a ton of information.
She also felt that after a year of separation, Ethan had become a homebody, even working from home.
But who could blame him for such abilities? He was like a "scholar who knows everything without leaving home." Even if he never went out, Wanning's work was improving under his leadership.
Lilly thought so and glanced around the study again, but still couldn't find him. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a light cough from the corner.
The footsteps, about to turn away, stopped, and Lilly headed toward the source of the sound. Seeing the cigarette butts scattered across the floor, Lilly involuntarily frowned and quickened her pace.
Finally, she found the man in the corner at a table by the floor-to-ceiling window.
He leaned against the windows, his right hand resting on his bent right knee, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were sleeping; the cigarette between his index and middle fingers was about to burn out and burn his fingers.
Lilly's pupils suddenly contracted, and she became frightened. She rushed toward him to snatch the cigarette and extinguish it.
Even with all the noise, the man sitting on the floor didn't react, as if he were fast asleep.
Lilly was startled and felt a chill run through her. She quickly squatted down, grabbed him by the shoulders, and shook him twice. "Mr. Romano..." She screamed until she was hoarse, but he still closed his eyes and didn't respond.
"Ethan," Lilly was so worried she almost burst into tears, and her voice began to tremble. "Ethan, don't scare me, wake up, please!"
No matter how she called, there was no answer. A terrible fear instantly gripped her heart. Lilly hugged him tightly and tried to pull him out.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang in her ears.
Lilly froze in an instant and, with a scream, threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and screaming incoherently, "Are you okay? I'm glad you're okay! Why didn't you answer my calls so many times? Do you know I almost died of fear! How can you pretend to be dead like that? You're so old and still pretending to be dead! I thought you were really dead! Who told you to smoke like that? Do you know how many people die from smoking every year? How can you be so heartless, so mean, and so fond of tormenting people! If you die, I..."
"How are you?" he suddenly interrupted, grabbing her slender wrist with his large hand, his voice tinged with worry. "How are you feeling?"
The evening mist hadn't yet abated, but the distant clouds were captivating. The black Hummer slowly approached largest villa in Luoshan.
The lights were off in the villa's study, but rays of light from the lamps in the lawn quietly drifted through the large windows, illuminating the bodies of the lovers embracing each other.
The man was tall and slender, and the girl was gentle and beautiful. A handsome face with a hint of indifference juxtaposed with a rosy, rosy complexion, and the man's sharp lips fiercely caught the girl's breath.
Ethan's ominous black eyes caught a moving spot beyond the lawn. As the black Hummer approached, his actions toward the girl became increasingly rough and assertive.
Lilly couldn't escape and could only retreat under his onslaught, immersed in his powerful kisses and caresses, her soft, boneless arms wrapped around his shoulders.
No woman can resist the love of the man she loves.
Ethan's kiss quickly spread to her neck, leaving one red mark after another, and Lilly, freed from his lips, immediately moaned.
A soft moan further ignited the fire in his heart. His five fingers, callused from years of playing musical instruments, deftly parted her chiffon blouse, penetrated, and slid down her shoulders...
Karl climbed behind the wheel of the Hummer and found the number of the villa Lilly had given over the phone at noon. As soon as the car stopped, he immediately took out the new cell phone he'd bought for her, got out, walked to the villa door, and prepared to ring the doorbell.
The hand he'd just raised suddenly stopped. The lenses on Karl's nose reflected the lawn light, and the eyes hidden behind them suddenly glanced at the windows.
The intertwined figures in front of the window weren't very clear from his position, but he recognized Lilly's figure very well. He recognized the girl's back at first glance. And the girl was hugging the man who'd taken her away that morning.
Karl's family and Lilly's were old friends. He knew about Johnson's business crisis this time, and naturally noticed Ethan White. From what she had said several times before, he guessed that something had happened between Lilly and this man while they were in school.
But he hadn't heard Lilly admit it herself, so he wasn't sure Ethan was the one she cared about. But now Lilly throwing herself into Ethan's arms clearly confirmed his true thoughts.
The feelings he'd hidden for the girl for years suddenly burst forth, and Karl's heart filled with bitterness. His face, always elegant and refined, contorted, and his eyes behind his glasses blazed with fire. He raised his hand and rang the villa's doorbell.
After a while, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the device, and Karl simply explained who he was.
“Okay, wait a minute, I'll go call you now," maid said bluntly.
