Looking at the calm Howard, Ethan smiled in a low voice.
"But, my beggar husband said that he only went to see his grandfather Why is he missing? " This was the question that Nina had been trying to figure out, but she failed.
"Hey, Nina, you are a silly girl. Maybe the beggar's grandfather is also a fake one. You'd better listen to Max." Since Ethan pretended to be Nina's grandfather, it was too cruel for him to continue to deceive her.
Nina said, "it was you who forced me to marry a beggar, Ethan..." Speaking of this, Nina stopped. She blinked her eyes and suddenly remembered that it was Ethan who asked her to marry the beggar. Moreover, it was he who followed the order of Mr. Howard.
"Did you collude with me to hide my beggar husband?"
With a false smile on his face, Ethan gathered his hair and said, "that's impossible."
As he spoke, he took a glance at Mr. Howard cautiously.
With a casual and calm look on his face, Howard asked, "Max, where's Nina's phone?"
Then she took out Nina's phone from her pocket and handed it to Howard.
He clicked on it, and saw the pictures of the beggar and women one by one. Then he sneered, "Nina, these pictures are photoshopped. Don't you see them?"
Max, Nina and Ethan looked over at the same time.
"Photoshop it out?" "So it's a lie?" said Nina, blinking her big eyes
"Yes, you're right. Nana! Before you checked this photo, you felt dizzy. Then where did you go to find your husband?" Max scoffed.
Here was the problem. At the thought that her boyfriend hadn't been found, Nina became angry again.
"Even if the photo is fake, what about my beggar husband?"
Hearing Nina's words, Max went silent.
Howard was silent because he was the beggar.
As for Ethan, he could do nothing but look at Howard.
"Where is my beggar husband?" Noticing that no one said anything, Nina asked again.
"Dead!" Howard thought about it and gave a simple answer.
Nina didn't believe it at all. She shook her head and said, "it's all your fault, Mr. Howard. Something happened to the beggar husband."
Ethan put on an apologetic smile and explained for Howard, "Oh, my brother meant that your beggar husband disappeared and he couldn't come back. Maybe, maybe one day he will come back himself."
"Damn it. What are you talking about, Ethan? What's the point? That bastard beggar got the sense of inferiority in his blood. He can't live a stable life. Given that Nana is here, he can live a homeless life! " Max analyzed.
"Surely, Max is better than me. I don't think so. So, you can stop looking for the beggar. He will come back when he is homeless. " Agreed Ethan.
The scar on Howard's face twitched a little, then he said lazily, "my sweetheart, maybe, he'll come back a year later."
"It's better not to come back. Nana! Is it better than that unreliable beggar?"
Nina glared at Max, "bastard, don't talk nonsense!"
Remembering what had happened with Howard, Nina blushed again.
Even though everyone thought the beggar was missing, Nina was still unwilling to give up. She took over Max's phone and called the beggar several times. As expected, no one answered.
Nina sighed with disappointment.
Howard opened the drawer of the coffee table and took out a delicate and luxury cell phone. "Nina, this cell phone has been here for a long time, and no one is using it. Will you use it?"
But Nina refused, "No."
If she took Howard's phone with her, it would make up for what she had done to Howard.
How could she make up for the loss she had lost!
She didn't mean to blame him. It was all her fault, wasn't it?
Max took out the SIM card and put it into the new one.
"Max!" Nina blamed.
"Why are you so sentimental? Just use it. Let's go, Nana?" Asked Max.
"What are you doing here?" With these words, Nina stood up and walked outside without even glancing at Howard.
Max waved her hand to Howard and said, "aren't you going to drive us home?"
"Well See you off. " Ethan replied.
Max and Nina walked out one after another. Howard lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Boss, are you depressed now?" Ethan sat down beside Howard and mocked.
"No. I'm just a little worried." Howard frowned as if everything went back to the starting point. The love he strove for was going to lose.
