"You've never waited for me to get off work before."
If that was the case, he should be happy. Why was he angry?
A sudden thought came to Annetta's mind. Ethan said that she had never waited for him to get off work before. In the past..., she remembered that she had always waited for Caleb to get off work instead.
This made sense. Just now, Ethan had kept forcing her to tell her who he was.
In that case...Did he think that she took him for Caleb and lost his temper because of that?
The more Annetta thought about it, the more convinced she was that this was the reason. Although she had nothing but resentment for Caleb in this life, this was something only she knew. To other people, she was the woman who always chased after Caleb Taylor.
As she thought of this, she took a deep breath and grabbed the man's large hand with her tiny hands. She looked into Ethan's dark eyes and said, "Ethan... did you think that I had mistaken you for Caleb?"
Annetta felt the temperature drop immediately after she had said this. Howard, who was in the front seat, wanted to curse that foolish woman. Why did she have to bring up Caleb Taylor, of all people? Did she not know that it was taboo to mention that name in front of Ethan?
The man's gaze turned menacing again. Annetta shuddered in fear as she felt like he almost crushed her waist with the strength of his hug. But she put on an innocent expression and said, "Ethan, I have already told you that I no longer have any feelings for that s*umbag. Ethan, don't you believe me?"
Annetta was ravishing, exquisite and beautiful when she did not dress up as ugly. She looked even more charming when she turned her 'puppy-dog eyes' on him. Such a gaze could charm people into forgiving her to get away with even murder.
Annetta pretended to be broken-hearted in despair when she saw that Ethan did not respond. She said, "Ethan, it's fine if you don't believe me... I don't want to explain myself any further."
