Tony had just replied to the message, and on the other side, the nightstand vibrated as well.

Ethan hesitated for only two seconds, then stretched out his long arm to grab the phone. Without needing to unlock it, the message popped up on the screen.

Aidan asked, “When are you coming home?”

Perhaps feeling that this didn’t convey enough emotion, another one followed, “Our kid really misses you.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes halfway, and before he could react, a hand suddenly reached over and snatched the phone away.

“What are you doing? Sneaking a look at my phone.”

She pouted, humming softly.

Though her words sounded like complaints, there was no sign of anger on Dawn’s face. She casually stuffed the phone under the pillow, scooted forward in a daze, and hugged the man’s arm, fully reliant.

“What time is it? Let’s sleep a bit more…”

Ethan’s complicated gaze fell on her face, but he said nothing.

Dawn didn’t hear a response, and her drowsiness faded quite a bit.

She looked up, and his expression was ugly.

With a fierce look, she twisted his waist hard. “You tormented me all night, and you’re still energetic? What are you thinking about?”

The man remained expressionless. Following her arm around him, he pulled her a little higher and said, “Thinking about how to get the cheater back to me.”

Dawn rolled her eyes and said bluntly, “Yes, I am a cheater, but don’t get it wrong, you’re not the one qualified to get me back.”

She was telling him that she and Aidan were legally married.

Even if someone had the right to pull her back, it should be Aidan.

Ethan’s eyes darkened. He raised a hand and pinched both sides of her soft checks. “Ms. West, when did you become so sharp–tongued?”

“When you weren’t looking.”

Dawn’s speech was unclear due to being pinched.

She grumbled twice in dissatisfaction, broke free of his grip, and said, “If you don’t want to sleep, then get up. I still have things to do today.”

The man leaned lazily against the bed, watching her climb up.

“You’re very busy?”

“Of course.”

Dawn threw him a sideways glance. “Not everyone can be like you, Mr. Jackson. You’ve transformed into a capitalist so that even when you’re doing nothing, someone else still works hard for you.”

She looked around for her clothes but couldn’t find them. She was about to get out of bed when she felt the wolf–like gaze on her back.

Even Dawn, thick–skinned as she was, couldn’t help blushing.

“Can you turn around?”

Ethan didn’t know what he was thinking, but when he lifted his eyes and saw her shy expression, the corner of his lips curled. “Last night, you wanted me to…”

Realizing what he was about to say, Dawn lunged forward and slapped a hand over his mouth, threatening fiercely, “If you dare say it, I’ll kill you!”

Ethan immediately made a surrender gesture, his eyes full of laughter.

Only then did Dawn breathe a sigh of relief. She looked around, grabbed the blanket, and threw it over his head, pressing it down heavily for safety.

“Since you’ve got nothing to do anyway, wait until I’m finished washing up before you come out!”

With that, she jumped up.

And ran.

Only when the bathroom door closed did Ethan emerge from the blanket.

The gentle smile on his lips faded the moment his gaze swept to the side.

Even in that situation just now, she hadn’t forgotten to take her phone with her.

Was she afraid he’d see something?

Thinking of the name Dawn mumbled in her half–conscious state that morning, his dark eyes turned suddenly deeper, thick as ink.

When the two of them were ready and came downstairs, it was already close to eight.

Ethan calmly took the bag from her shoulder.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

Dawn lifted her wrist to check the time, then retrieved the bag as if nothing had happened. “I don’t have time. I’ll grab something at the office…”

She took two steps forward, then stopped.

Turned back.

She lifted a hand and gently stroked the man’s jaw, her gaze meaningful. “I’m still a married woman right now, Mr. Jackson, so keep your word. No next time.”

He was the one who said he wouldn’t come back to stay, and backtracking wasn’t a good look.

Ethan frowned slightly but said nothing.

“Alright, I’m leaving.”

Dawn rubbed his face, then leaned in and kissed him. “See you next time.”

Without waiting for his reaction, she ran all the way out and into her car.

Ethan watched her departing silhouette, his gaze gradually darkening.

He picked up his phone and called Tony.

“How’s the thing I asked you to look into?”

“I found it. I just sent it to your email.”

Tony hadn’t expected that the man tied to Ms. West was actually someone with such a big background!

He spoke properly, “Aidan Gardner is an orphan. He worked as a mercenary overseas for a long time. Three years ago, during a mission, he encountered Ms. West. She probably saved him.”

Ethan let out a cold laugh. “And he repaid her with his body?”

Tony’s scalp tingled, but he still answered, “Probably?

“But, Boss, I definitely can’t check the details of their relationship! Anyway, after Aidan met Ms. West, he never went back to his previous line of work.”
