Chapter 71
The song began to play. With her graceful and melodious voice, Kylie started singing with dedication. Initially, everyone was still engaged in drinking, but at this moment, upon hearing her singing, they all stopped, surprised by the beauty of her voice. Zola rubbed her cars and said, ”
a waste of you not to become a singer. You sing better than me.”
“Aren’t you an actress?” Joel retorted.
“Can’t I have a diverse skill set?”
“Kylie’s singing is indeed good, but the lyrics…” Joel looked at Ethan and asked, “What are they implying?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes.
“What are you thinking? Just singing a song, do you think Ethan is a third party?” Zola was speechless about Joel’s wild imagination.
Joel quickly clarified. “I didn’t imply anything.”
The song finished. Everyone applauded Kylie. She sang passionately and genuinely didn’t notice that the others were all attentively listening. Blushing at the applause, she quickly put down the microphone and went to the restroom. She thought to herself, ‘Singing with unfamiliar people is not as easy as it seems, and besides, this may be the last time. After explaining things to Ethan, we probably will not cross paths again.”
Kylie composed herself, opened the restroom door, and found Ethan waiting for her at the door. Seeing her, he said, “I’ll take you home.” He had noticed her discomfort.
“Ethan.” Kylie gathered courage and continued. “I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm?” Ethan raised an eyebrow. At this moment, influenced by alcohol, his face carried a flush, and there was a hint of haziness in his eyes, making him seem warmer and more intimate than usual.
“Let’s end it here.” Kylie enunciating each word, tried to speak in a calm and steady voice. Ethan’s loosely hanging fingers seemed to tremble for a moment. Even though it wasn’t obvious, there wasn’t a significant emotional fluctuation on his face. However, at that moment, Kylie felt a sudden chill emanating from Ethan. Yet, he wasn’t angry or agitated. Instead, he calmly and coolly asked her, “What have I done wrong?”

Deep in his mind, he pondered, ‘All of a sudden? Have I made another mistake? Does she not like my friends or my lifestyle?’ Ethan thought that if she no longer believed in people, he could make her more involved in his social circle, which was why he had agreed to Joel’s so–called birthday celebration. He believed that through this approach, she would gradually understand him, become more familiar with him, and slowly resist him less. However, he wondered if he was too presumptuous, causing her repulsion. There were a myriad of emotions pressed on Ethan’s heart. He was afraid of scaring her.
“It’s not like that. I’ve told you before. I won’t fall for any man again. I’ve rejected your advances multiple times…
“Kylic Stafford, give me a genuine reason to let me give up. Otherwise, I won’t.” Ethan interrupted her.
Kylie couldn’t recall if Ethan had ever called her by her full name. But at this moment, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart as if she had truly hurt him. Clearly, it was his overwhelming emotions. She slightly bit her lip and finally spoke slowly, “I can’t accept your attitude towards relationships. Yes, my reputation isn’t pristine, and I’ve been in a relationship with Sergio for three years. Any man would think I’m easy, but I’m not. During those three years with Sergio, We limited our interaction to holding hands and hugging at most. There was never anything more intimate between us. That’s right. On one hand, I avoid contact with men, and on the other hand, it’s because I have boundaries. I don’t engage in premarital activities.
“I’ve said so much because I want to tell you that this is my attitude towards relationships.” Kylie changed her tone, tightly fixing her gaze on Ethan.
Ethan also looked at her and asked, “Then what? Where did my attitude towards. relationships disappoint you?” He bellowed inwardly, ‘I can change! But right now, I really don’t know what has gone wrong.
“You and Zola, you two are in a relationship, right?” Kylie asked straightforwardly. Not clarifying would only lead to continuous entanglements. Kylie didn’t want to say it before, as adults, there was no need to embarrass each other. They were not enemies. But after several failed rejections, she decided to make it clear.
Ethan’s eyes twitched. There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was probably genuinely shocked. He hadn’t spoken yet when Kylie continued to speak, “I’ve interacted with Zola. She’s a good girl. Although her personality is a bit straightforward, she has a good, kind, and pure heart. I don’t know the basis of your relationship, perhaps just mutual benefits without caring about eternity. But sincerely, I believe Zola deserves better treatment from you. If you truly want to build a family and find a mother for Joseph, Zola is not inferior.”

“She is indeed not inferior.” Ethan agreed.

Hearing his prompt statement, Kylie felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, but she ignored it. She also accepted Ethan’s feelings quite calmly. After experiencing so much, the pain caused by so–called emotions wouldn’t be too great. Besides, the emotional connection between her and Ethan wasn’t too deep.
“So, are you giving up for her sake?” Ethan asked her.
“It’s not for her. I just feel that you two are a good match, and I genuinely want to bless you both.” Kylie sincerely said, “Between us, me, her, and you, we can be friends in the future.”
“Do you think I lack a friend like you?” Ethan asked back.
“In that case, we shall never meet again.” Kylie left these words and turned away to leave.
Ethan swallowed hard. Then, in a chilly tone, he said, “Kylie, you truly don’t give a fuck
about me.”
Kylie pursed her lips. In truth, she couldn’t let go of many things, like Joseph. Between her and Ethan, the only regret she had was Joseph.
“In your eyes, how disgraceful am I?” Ethan suddenly reached out, grabbing her wrist. Kylie was startled. In the next moment, her whole person crashed into his sturdy chest. The force was somewhat strong, almost like retaliation. Her nose hurt a bit from the bump, and tears. couldn’t help but flow.
Just as she was about to resist, her petite body was tightly embraced by Ethan. Between breaths, the scent of sandalwood from him filled the air, mixed with the aroma of alcohol. At that moment, her ear suddenly stung. Clearly, he had bitten her earlobe. Enduring the pain, Kylie fiercely gripped Ethan’s arm, her nails sinking into his skin, attempting to make him let go. But he held her even tighter, carrying revenge and the fear of losing, or perhaps the uneasy feeling of regaining.
Just at the right moment. “Zola!” Ethan let go of Kylie’s delicate earlobe, now reddened from his bite. Zola stood awkwardly in front of them. She didn’t intend to disturb them. She just needed to use the restroom after drinking too much.
“Call me,” said Ethan in a commanding tone. Zola was confused and thought, ‘Is he overly happy, or has he gone insane?”
“Call me!” Ethan’s tone became heavier.

“Ethan?” Zola hesitated but still called out with uncertainty. It seemed like Ethan had hit the wall of happiness and knocked himself out.
