Chapter 508 Men Are Hard to Deal With

Alex slammed the door open, scanning the room.

“Alright, let’s just call it a day!” he shouted.

Alice and Dawn were taken aback.

Alice closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When he got close, she couldn’t help but lift her leg and kick him. “You’re all talk!”

Alex didn’t get it and pretended to swing at her. “Do you really think I’m a pushover?”

“Yes, you jerk!”

Alex was puzzled.

Just like that, they were tangled up, fighting and wrestling.

Dawn couldn’t stop smiling, her eyes drifting away from them to the man standing behind her.

He stood tall, his black shirt unbuttoned at the top, two buttons undone, showing the clean line of his throat. His jawline was smooth and defined, his features perfectly balanced.

His eyes were dark and deep, impossible to read.

For some reason, Dawn felt a little nervous meeting his eyes.

Brogan noticed something was off and looked toward the two fighting. “Why don’t you guys head back and rest? Dawn’s probably tired too. I’ll make sure they get home safely.”

“Okay.”

Ethan took Dawn’s hand and said in a low voice, “Call me if anything comes up.”

Then he turned and strode away.

For the first time, he didn’t slow down to match Dawn’s pace. He walked fast, and she almost had to jog to keep up.

“Ethan, wait…

“Ethan!”

By the time they got to the parking lot, Dawn couldn’t take it anymore. Out of breath, she yanked her hand free. “Have you been drinking too much? What’s wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Ethan sneered, pain flashing in his eyes.

He stared at Dawn, step by step, closing the distance. “Dawn, sometimes I feel like I just don’t understand you. But I tell myself… I don’t have to understand everything. I just want you to be yourself.”

Dawn swallowed hard. “And then?”

“And then…”

He stopped walking. The corners of his mouth twisted into a bitter, self–mocking smile. “I realized… I’m such a damn fool!”

He turned and walked away, looking more alone than ever, and Dawn felt a sharp ache in her heart.

She stayed where she was and said, “I just ran into Austin, but we only talked for a little while.”

Ethan stopped in his tracks.

He didn’t turn around, didn’t say a word.

Dawn pressed her lips together, making sure he had seen her with Austin. “Ethan, the Osbornes raised me for years. I can’t just cut them off and become strangers. If I had feelings for Austin, I would’ve gone straight to him when I came back, right?”

Her voice was calm, neither loud nor soft–but to Ethan, it sounded cold, even merciless.

He turned his head, eyes bloodshot.

“So, why didn’t you go?” he asked.

Dawn remained silent.

“Can’t say it?” His voice was hoarse, low. “Fine, I’ll say it for you. Because only by marrying me can you get what you want!”

Dawn opened her mouth, but no words came out. She didn’t even know how much Ethan already knew.

After a moment, she said in a low, hoarse voice, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ethan’s deep eyes locked onto her, like he was trying to see right through her.

But this woman was wearing armor from head to toe–so thick no one could get close. He had no idea what she was really thinking.

Ha. Ridiculous.

He didn’t say another word. He opened the car door and got in.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang, sounding especially harsh in the quiet night.

Dawn ran her fingers through her hair, feeling frustrated. For the first time, she felt a little lost.

Why are men so hard to deal with?

She even thought back to earlier with Austin. She hadn’t said anything over the line. Maybe it’s that hug?

Dawn sighed and, with a sense of resignation, got in from the other side.

The driver wasn’t here yet, so they would have to wait a little while.

Two people who had just argued sat in the back seat. Even the air felt awkward.

About two minutes later, a small, soft hand reached over and gently tugged at Ethan’s sleeve. “If … it’s because Austin hugged me earlier, I can explain. Please don’t misunderstand, and don’t be mad at me.”

Ethan closed his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.

Silence.

Dawn felt a little discouraged and let go of his hand.

Before she could pull it back completely, Ethan’s low, cold voice said, “Ms. Porter, is that all the patience you’ve got?”

“Huh?” Dawn blinked in confusion.

Ethan opened his eyes.

In just a moment, he seemed to have calmed himself. His eyes were unreadable again, but when they landed on Dawn, all that came through was sheer dominance. “Instead of wasting

words, it’s better to do something useful.”

“Do what…”

Before she could finish, he grabbed her by the neck, pulled her close, and kissed her.

Dawn’s eyes went wide, but then she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, tilting her head up to meet him.

It didn’t last long, but it was more intense than most of their other moments together. When it ended, Dawn’s whole body felt weak. She rested against his chest, breathing hard.
