Chapter 284
Kylie was leaning against Ethan’s chest and listening to his strong heartbeat.
Actually, she couldn’t fall asleep at all, even though she was weak and sleepy.
The moment she closed her eyes, a bloody scene would occupy her mind.
A scene in which Joseph was hurt by Stella, and he was so little and helpless.
“Ethan,” Kylie said.
She didn’t want to be quiet anymore.
Once she was quiet, her thoughts would run wild, and she would think of many bad things.
Yea
“Do you hate me?” Kylie suddenly asked.
Ethan was stunned for a moment before he shook his head slowly. “I’ve never
never hated you.”
“I refused you again and again. Don’t you have any complaints in your heart?”
“No,” Ethan said firmly. “Every time you leave ine, all I think about is how to win your heart back. I don’t have time to
you”
Kylie felt a lump in her throat.
How could there be such a stubborn person?
“Kylic, did I not tell you why I love you so much?” Ethan looked down at Kylie’s pale face.
bate
“You’ve told me before. You said that you were conquered by my skills on the bed. Kylie did not know whether to laugh or
cry.
It was her first time, and she had no experience.
“Not only that. It’s also because I fell in love with you at first sight when I was young.” Ethan said honestly.
“Did we meet each other when we were kids?”
Although they were both in high-society circles in Beliey, the status of the Hayden family was much higher than that of the Stafford family. It was difficult for them to have the chance to meet each other. Moreover, Ethan had grown up overseas.
“Yes. At your mother’s funeral, Ethan said.
Kylie’s heart ached.
She suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she had thought of her mother.
She almost couldn’t remember what her mother looked like.
She didn’t want to forget her mother at all….
“I followed my grandfather and my parents to the funeral,” Ethan said. “At that time, you were kneeling in the hall, not crying or making a fuss. You were so quiet, and it was as if you were not a real person existing in the world. For the first time, I felt pity for you, and I even had the urge to bring you home.
“However, I was still too young to realize that I liked you. I only felt that you were pitiful, lonely, and heartbroken.”
။
Back then, Kylie was indeed hopeless at life.
She did not understand why her mother, who loved her deeply, would suddenly leave her forever.
She didn’t even understand why people would die.
All she knew was that she had lost her mother forever.
“After that, every time I came back from overseas, I would hear Joel, Xavier, and the others talking about you. Every time they talked about you, I would feel an inexplicable throbbing in my heart. The image of you kneeling there that day would appear in my mind, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I even went back and asked my grandfather to change my name. My previous name was Cedric Hayden.”
“I know,” Kylie said. “Zola told me.”
“I changed it to Ethan later just because I flipped a book accidentally, in which the male lead and the female lead had the same names as you and me. Only then did I realize that I might have fallen for you.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about it? Kylie asked.
“I was only twelve years old that year, and you were nine. Would you believe me if I told you?”
“What happened next?”
Kylie still wondered why Ethan didn’t tell her that after they had grown up.
After that, I always stayed overseas and came back less. Stella was by my side all the time, and there was a time when I couldn’t tell my true love.”
“So you have affection for Stella?” At the mention of Stella, Kylie heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
She hated Stella.
“No. When I returned to the country at the age of 20 and saw you at the bar, I knew clearly about my love for you. Stella’s background was similar to mine, and the education I received since I was young also forced me to accept her. But all my reluctance turned into ashes in the face of you. My affection for you is completely different from my feelings for her. I can’t control myself.”
Kylie bit her lip lightly.
She had never thought that Ethan would love her secretly for so many years.
He had always loved her.
He fell in love with her before she heard that there was a person named Ethan and met him.
Ethan was only a legend who would never have any interaction with her.
“I’m sorry.” Kylie suddenly apologized.
“For what?”
I’ve misunderstood you so many times.”
“It’s alright.” Ethan pulled Kylie into his arms. “I’m satisfied. When you were with Sergio, I thought that it was my fate to miss you. But later, I still got a chance to confess my love to you and date you. I could feel your sincerity toward me, and in this life, L…”
Kylie’s hand covered Ethan’s mouth.
She stopped him from saying more.
What he said sounded like his last words, and she did not want to hear it.
Ethan talked so much about his love for her in the past just to distract her. However, in Kylie’s opinion, it was also because Ethan was afraid that he would never have the chance to tell her that he had loved her for so many years.
Now that he could get her response, he had no regrets.
Kylie did not want Ethan to risk his life to save Joseph, even though she did not know how things would end up.
Ethan gently removed Kylie’s hand and said, “Kylie, we know very well what we have to face later. The only thing we can do now is to try not to leave too many regrets for each other.”
Kylie shook her head..
No matter what they did, no matter what they said, regrets were inevitable..
Those who were alive would feel regretful.”
“Stella will not let Jos go easily. I can’t guarantee that I can escape unscathed after saving Jos. I can only promise that if I’m alive, Jos will be alive. If I die…” Ethan paused.
Kylie lay in his arms, her body trembling slightly.
Choking, she couldn’t control her instinctive reaction.
“If I die, Jos will also be alive. Take Jos and live well.”
Kylie shook her head.
She shook her head frantically.
She could not accept such a result.
She wanted her family of three to be safe and reunite happily.
“You can remarry.” Ethan chuckled. “But don’t bring your new husband to my grave
e to dism
disgust me.”
It took Kylie a lot of effort to hold back her tears. She finally collapsed when she heard Ethan’s words.
“Okay.”
In the end, she agreed.
If either Joseph or Ethan could survive, she would choose, Joseph.
