Chapter 339 The Wrong Turn Home

She could feel it clearly. If he said he would do it, then he absolutely would.

Between being kissed and having her hand held, she chose the latter without a second thought.

The rest of the drive passed in silence. Amelia behaved like a quiet little bird. She let him lace his fingers through hers and hold on tightly. She did not dare struggle again, not even a little.

In the front seat, Lily caught the scene through the rearview mirror once or twice. Each time, she quickly looked away and pretended she had seen nothing.

Even so, the curiosity in her heart was burning so hard it was about to explode.

At the same time, in another city far away, Ethan had finally finished putting out one fire after another.

Isla’s condition had stabilized. She was about to be discharged from the hospital.

The Rowe Group’s stock price, which had fluctuated wildly not long ago, had also settled after a series of moves.

Most importantly, Mason had not torn up the Litginia Project partnership the way Ethan had feared.

Everyone at the Rowe Group breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Everyone–except Ethan.

He knew better than anyone why Mason hadn’t pushed his company to the edge. It was not mercy. It was because Mason had already claimed something better.

Amelia. Ethan had pushed her away with his hands.

The moment he thought about how she ended up being with Mason, his chest tightened. It felt heavy. It hurt.

He felt like Mason had handed him charity from above–spared him out of generosity.

But his company’s current situation gave him no room for pride. He could not afford to refuse this cooperation, even though it felt humiliating.

After wrapping up the last matter at the office, Ethan drove to the hospital to pick Isla up.

When he arrived at the hospital room, Hannah was busy helping Isla pack her clothes.

The moment she saw him, Hannah hurried over with a warm, eager smile. “Ethan, you’re finally here. Isla’s been talking about you all day. She’s been waiting for you to come get her.”

By the bed, Isla had already changed. She lifted her head obediently and held out a small, delicate paper box, her eyes full of hope. “Mr. Rowe, Mom bought this cake for me this afternoon. I saved it for you.”

Ethan glanced at the small cake. His expression was flat.

“I don’t eat cake.”

The coldness in his voice made Hannah’s heart sink.

She sensed it clearly now. Since Isla had been hospitalized, Ethan’s attitude had turned distant almost overnight.

During the hospital stay, Ethan had taken care of every detail of the treatment and nursing. Everything was arranged perfectly. However, the coldness and distance in his manner were impossible to hide.

Ethan glanced at his watch and asked, “Are your bags packed?”

“Yes,” Hannah answered quickly with a nod.

She comforted herself silently. Once they went back to the estate, she could take her time and slowly fix her relationship with Ethan.

After all, the biggest obstacle–Amelia–was already divorced from him. Wasn’t that right?

Not long after they got into Ethan’s car, Hannah sensed something was wrong.

The car moved smoothly down the road, but the streets outside the window grew more and more unfamiliar.

This wasn’t the way back to the estate.

A sharp unease rose in Hannah’s chest. She clenched her hands and asked casually, “Is there a roadblock on our usual road? Is that why we’re taking a detour?”

Ethan kept his eyes on the road. He gave a low, brief reply.

“Yeah.”

The truth was, if Isla hadn’t just had surgery and still needed rest, he would have driven them to another apartment he had already prepared for them. The mother and daughter could settle there for good.

For now, he had no choice but to let them stay a few more days.

When they arrived at the estate, Ethan got out first. He didn’t look back at them. He only told the butler who came to greet them, “Take them to the same guest room as before.”

Before his words even settled, Isla hid behind Hannah. Her little face turned pale as she grabbed her mother’s clothes and spoke in a trembling voice. “Mom, I don’t want to stay in that

room.”

Hannah patted her hand gently and asked softly, “Why, Isla?”

“That room… has my blood in it,” Isla said, her voice shaking as tears welled up. “Just thinking about it scares me. I’ll have nightmares at night.”

Ethan’s patience nearly ran out.

He had never thought Isla was such a difficult child.

What annoyed him even more was that Hannah didn’t put a stop to her antics. Instead, she accepted her daughter’s unreasonable demand. Hannah looked at Ethan with hopeful eyes, as i waiting for him to make a better arrangement.

In that instant, Ethan finally understood.

For the first time, he clearly realized that the real problem might never have been the innocent sheltered Isla, but Hannah. She allowed it,and even guided it from behind.

Anger pressed hard against his chest, but he couldn’t lose his temper in front of the staff. He certainly couldn’t throw out the mother and daughter recently discharged from the hospital.
