Dumping My Billionaire Ex novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Sharon was startled awake. In a dazed state, she thought for a moment that she was still living with the Stanley family, and Edwin was demanding 

She leapt out of bed in one motion, barely missing a fall

It was only when she rushed to the door and saw Ethan that she remembered she had already left the Stanley family and no longer needed to open the door for Edwin and welcome him home

She rubbed her eyes to wake herself more as Ethan has opened the door

A dark figure stood at the door

Sharon was initially shocked, but after a closer look, she finally made out Sophie’s face

Sophie invited herself in and said gleefully to Ethan, in an exaggerated manner. Hey Ethan, you u didn’t make a scene yesterday, did you?” 

Ethan looked at her, not understanding 

Sophie continued Yesterday, when Sharon found out that you bought a knife, she thought you were going to do something rash. She was so frightened. Sot What did you buy the knife for?” 

Before Sharon could stop her, Sophie blurted out the truth

A visible flash of embarrassment came across Ethan’s face. He shifted uncomfortably

Sophie, did you need something?Sharon hijacked her interrogation 

Sophie hemmed and hawed. Ohit’s not a big deal. Don’t worry about it.” It was clear she was just fishing for gossip material

Sharon kept a steady eye on her, making Sophic flustered as she tried to figure out an excuse for coming over. She spoke to Sharon, So. how long are you planning to stay here?” 

They’re going to stay a while. Ethan answered on her behalf

Oh, yes, of course. A while.” Sophie looked put off by the information. She added, Well, you’re lucky to have married into money. I’m sure you’re not used to living in a small house like this 

Sharon remained silent and merely continued looking at her

Sophie pointed to a direction away from the town. You know, there’s a big, new hotel in the next town over, and they specialize in accommodating VIPs, like business owners or celebrities. It’s supposedly luxurious. You should take your dad there, Sharon. Let him have a taste of the high life.” 

I’m not young anymore, there’s no need. Ethan rejected the suggestion flatly

Sharon had been wary of Sophie and had her suspicions confirmed. Sophie was worried about getting evicted from her father’s property. Ethan was a kind and eventempered person, and she wanted to continue taking advantage of that so her family could live in a big house for free

Sharon didn’t

plan on getting into this so early, but with Sophie in the house, she wasn’t going to play dumb and let her continue to get away with it 

Smiling at Sophie, Sharon promised, Don’t worry, Sophie. We won’t move back to our old house. You and your family can stay as long as you 

want 

when she heard that. She beamed at Sharon and replied, Rich people indeed do things differently from average folks 

Sophie grinned like a foot w like us.” 

Turning to her father, Sharon asked, Dad, does Sophile pay the rent monthly or yearly!” 

Huh?” Sophie froze

Soplur continued. “If they pay annually, you should give e them a discount

Sophie’s expression stiffened beyond recognition. She started to regret making the trip

Originally, she had just wanted to get the low down on last night anel discourage them frum moving back to the old house, but now she was being asked for relit

She didn’t give a straight answer. Instead, star made up an excuse and quickly made her way out

In the morning after they had breakfast, Ethan led Itene to the back yard

Chapter 40 

His beloved shoemaking machine sat under an awning. Ethan took his position in front of it and turned it on. It creaked and squeaked and can 

Irene was fascinated and observed every movement with wide eyes. Ethan started to work on adding soles to his shoes, and the watched quiet); only asking him some questions from time to time

Ethan patiently answered every single one. Grandfather and granddaughter were getting along swimmingly 

Sharon walked up to them and leaned against Ethan as she did when she was a child. She rested her head on his arm and felt it move as he wor 

Dad, you’ve been working all your life. Why don’t you stop?She suggested

For as long as she could remember, her father had sat at this machine, laboring day and night

Yes, Grandpa Ethan. Mommy has opened a big company and she can afford to take care of all of usIrene piped in as well

Although shoe making seemed fun, Irene saw that Ethan had to thread a very thick needle through the sole repeatedly, and it looked incredibly tough. She worried about him too

Ethan held Irene’s face in his hand, his lips spread in a wide smile, Trene is only a little girl and already knows how to care for Grandpa. What a lovely person you are.” 

Irene rubbed her face against Ethan’s palm, happy to be praised

Ethan reassured her. Grandpa is already used to doing this work. If I don’t use this machine ev 

even for a day, it feels strange

The shoes made by Ethan were durable and inexpensive, and have proven to be popular

Sharon felt a mix of maternal pride and familial tenderness in her chest as she watched the exchange 

I should have brought Irene back a long time ago.The bond between them was undeniable

Knowing that Ethan was unwilling to give up his work, Sheron did not pursue the topic and only said. It’s okay to continue if you want, but don’t take on too many orders. And if you’re tired, you must take a break “ 

I know, I know.Ethan nodded obediently like a child
