The Doted Lady Is So Wild

The other party did not try to hide anything, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wharton…”

Ethan didn’t want to listen to the rest of his words and hung up the phone. Looking at the night sky outside the window, his eyes were filled with confusion.

The next morning, as soon as Kristen woke up, she heard a loud noise outside. Kristen stretched, changed her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

“Aunt Kate.”

Kate hurried over, “What’s wrong, Miss Healey?”

“What’s going on outside? Why is it so noisy?”

Kate looked as if she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, she said, “The Collins came early in the morning. Mr. Wharton told us to ignore them.”

The Collins?

How dare they come here?

“Miss Healey. If you think they’re noisy, I’ll have them evicted immediately.”

Kristen said, “It’s okay. I’ll go and have a look.”

With that, Kristen went downstairs and saw Mr. Collins and his wife, Lilac, sitting on the ground crying outside the villa, saying Ethan should spare them.

Seeing Kristen coming, Lilac quickly stopped crying. She got up from the ground and rushed to Kristen. Kate was afraid that Lilac would hurt Kristen, so she hurriedly stood in front of Kristen.

“What are you doing? Stay away from Miss Healey.”

Lilac said, “No, Kristen. Please, let me meet Ethan. I have something to say to him. It was all my fault. Everything was my fault. Please. Let go of Steve. He is still young. He has a long life. If he goes to prison, his life will be ruined…”

Lilac wiped her tears as she spoke.

If another person saw it, his or her heart would soften a little. But Kristen had a straight face and said calmly, “You may have the chance to elude the natural disaster, yet you eventually cannot have the chance to escape from your sin.”

Lilac’s crying stopped abruptly.

She looked at Kristen incredulously and asked, “What did you say?”

Kristen said without hesitation, “What did your son do must have something to do with you.”

Lilac’s face instantly darkened.

Kristen went on, “What’s the point of begging Ethan after such a thing happened? The person who arrested him and sentenced him to prison is not Ethan. You’ve come to the wrong place.”

Lilac stepped forward and grabbed Kristen’s hand.

“I know Ethan must have done something to Steve, or he can’t end up like this. I just want to ask Ethan to let go of his brother.”

Kristen retorted, “Your words are disgusting. If Mr. Collins had not done such a thing, no one would have done anything to him, but he just had to cross the bottom line of law. Whom can he blame? You should find a lawyer for him if you are bored. Maybe he will be sentenced to one or two years less. What’s the use of making trouble here?”

With that, Kristen disengaged herself from Lilac’s grip.

Then she ignored them and turned to leave. To her surprise, Lilac shouted at her, “Ethan, that bastard, is jealous of my Steve. But no matter how jealous he is, he can’t change the fact that he’s an illegitimate child. He’s a bitch, just like his mother.”

When Kristen heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and clenched her fists on both sides of her body silently. “You said that he is jealous of your son. Are you suffering from cognitive impairment? Why should Ethan be jealous of him? Why don’t you ask around and find out the influence of the name ‘Ethan’ in Nangania? Look at your son. How can they be compared? He is going to jail now. What else do you have to be arrogant about?”

Kristen hit the nail on the head.

Lilac could not refute her at all. Seeing that Lilac was about to pounce on her, Kristen turned her body to avoid her.

Kristen looked at her coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes, “The illegitimate child you just mentioned has already stepped on you. If you’re polite, we can still keep things decent between us. Since you are rude, don’t blame us.”

With that.

Kristen turned and entered the room.

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Kristen turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the people outside and walked in. As soon as she reached the hall, she saw Ethan going downstairs. They looked at each other, and Kristen felt the smile in his eyes.

“Why are you so angry in the morning?” Ethan’s voice came slowly. Kristen thought of what Lilac said, pursed her lips, and then said, “What a morning.”

Ethan walked up to her, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed her in a gentle voice, “Don’t let her get to you. Just take her as a barking mad dog.”

Kristen couldn’t help smiling, “Mr. Wharton, you have a sharp tongue.”

Ethan raised his eyebrows as if he didn’t care at all, “Really? I don’t think so.”

But Kristen said, “She can’t go on like this. People who don’t know the truth will think that we did something bad to her.”

Ethan comforted her.

“It’s all right. She won’t be able to make a fuss for long. From another perspective, she’s mistaken. After all, I’m not the one who wants Steve to end up like this.”

Kristen felt awkward. She felt that Ethan was implying something.

She then said, “He deserves it. Any man of justice will stand up and deal with him.”

Ethan nodded his head approvingly, “That’s right. Do you want to change your place of residence so that you won’t be disturbed?”

Kristen thought Ethan was joking, so she didn’t take it seriously.

So, she said, “It doesn’t matter. I won’t live here for long.”

However, Ethan had a different understanding of this reply. According to the contract, they would only be together for half a year at most. Moreover, the precondition was that his illness wouldn’t flare up, otherwise, their time together would become shorter.

Ethan instantly felt anxious when he thought up to here.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Then, he said, “When is the final of Meet You In Summer?”

Kristen replied, “It’s prime time the night after tomorrow, live broadcast on TMS TV.”

“OK. What plans do you have today?”

Kristen paused a second and then said, “Yes. I am going to meet Ivan and discuss the tournament the day after tomorrow.”

“Then do your best. I wish your group a good result.”

Kristen was not hopeful about this. She was already very satisfied to be able to make it to the finals. As for the result, it would depend on their efforts.
