Chapter 84
At 6 p.m.
As promised, Ethan brought along Joseph when he went to pick Kylie up after work.
“Mommy!”
Joseph’s childish voice made Kylie’s heart melt every time she heard it.
Kylie hugged Joseph and sat with him, chatting and laughing.
Ethan, who had been ignored, had a dark expression.
“Daddy, are you unhappy to see Mommy?” Joseph frowned and asked seriously.
“No.” Ethan replied coldly.
“Then why are your eyebrows like this? Look, they’re like this.” Joseph imitated Ethan’s frown.
Joseph was originally a mini version of Ethan. Now that he was imitating Ethan’s frown, he looked so much like his father that they seemed to have come out of the same mold.
Kylie could not help but laugh out loud.
Even the chauffeur was amused by Joseph.
Ethan’s face darkened even more.
Joseph’s mood lifted when he saw Kylie laughing. “Mommy, don’t worry about Daddy. Daddy’s probably going through menopause.”
Kylie could not help but laugh out loud again.
Her son was really good at antagonizing his father!
Fortunately, the restaurant was not far away and they arrived quickly.
Otherwise, Ethan would have difficulty suppressing his anger.

The three of them sat in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows by the side of the high–end
restaurant.
Ethan lowered his head and looked at the menu. He started to order the food while Kylic and Joseph were chatting happily away.
Ethan felt that he was a tool.
“Ethan.”
A female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Ethan looked up.
Kylie and Joseph also looked at the person.
“It’s really you! Don’t you remember me?” The woman was pleasantly surprised to see Ethan here. She hurriedly introduced herself. “I’m Jennifer Lane, Stella Garner’s cousin. We met when you were studying abroad with her.”
Ethan made a sound of acknowledgment. He seemed to remember who she was.
Jennifer was not displeased by Ethan’s coldness. Instead, she became even more enthusiastic and said, “What a coincidence. I came over from Toville to see my boyfriend. today. I didn’t expect you to eat here too. By the way, I heard from my aunt that Stella is coming back to the country soon. Do you know about it?”
“No.” Ethan’s attitude was cold.
“Didn’t Stella tell you?” Jennifer was a little surprised, “Don’t tell me you two quarreled. When I saw that you had returned to Beliey, I was thinking…”
“Miss Lane,” Ethan quickly cut in to prevent her from talking incessantly. “We’re about to eat. I’m sorry.”
Jennifer could tell that Ethan was ordering her to leave.
She said awkwardly, “Then I won’t disturb your meal.”
The moment she left, she glanced at Kylie beside Ethan.
Sensing Jennifer’s gaze, Kylie also turned to look at Jennifer.

Jennifer hurriedly looked away and left.

She returned to her table and sent Stella a message. [Stella, I met Ethan when I was eating. He’s with his son and there’s a woman beside him. I think it’s Kylie.]
Some time ago, Kylie was trending on the news. Jennifer did not pay much attention to the news, but she had listened to some gossip. She should not be mistaken..
But why was Ethan with Kylie?
How could an aloof man like Ethan fall for Kylie, who had such a complicated private life?
Overseas.
Stella looked at the words on the screen and her eyes narrowed.
She really should not have let Ethan go back alone back then.
She had underestimated Kylie.
Back in the high–end restaurant.
Ethan, Kylie, and Joseph ate dinner.
Kylie’s attention was mostly on Joseph. She had been taking care of him while he ate.
“Miss Stafford, am I invisible?” Ethan could not help but ask.
Kylie was speechless.
Ethan was already an adult, yet he was still jealous of his son.
How childish of him!
Seeing that Joseph was eating obediently, she focused her attention on Ethan and said, “That woman mentioned the name ‘Stella Garner‘ earlier. Is Stella from the Garner family, the most prestigious family in Toville?”
Ethan’s eyes flickered.
Kylie should have been coaxing him at this moment.

Why was she suddenly asking about Stella?
“Yes.” Ethan nodded.
“What’s your relationship with her?” Kylie asked bluntly.

After having misunderstood Ethan and Zola’s relationship previously, Kylie decided that if she had any doubts in the future, she would directly ask Ethan.
“My grandfather and Stella’s grandfather used to be comrades, so they were very close. Even though our families were not in the same city, we often contacted each other. My grandfather often brought me to visit his friends‘ and relatives‘ houses when I was young, so I often went to visit the Garner family in Toville. Stella is considered my. looking for words to describe her.
“Childhood sweetheart.” Kylie raised her eyebrows.
“No,” Ethan denied. “She’s kind of the girl next door.”
The girl next door?
Ethan was
No matter how she looked at it, Kylie felt that this form of address sounded very suspicious.
Ethan continued, “When I was young, my grandfather sent me overseas to study. Mr. Garner also sent Stella overseas. After graduating from university, I stayed overseas to expand Hayden Group into the foreign market. Stella also stayed overseas to manage the Garner Group. Because of the relationship between our elders, we took care of each other.”
Kylie wondered, Took care of each other? In what way?”
Ethan noticed Kylie’s scrutinizing gaze and chuckled. “Don’t worry. There’s nothing between us.
“Regardless of whether there is or isn’t something between you, I don’t care. It’s all in the past,” Kylie said nonchalantly.
However, the corners of her lips had curled up.
Ethan was suddenly in a good mood. He commented, “Miss Stafford, you’ve improved.”
“Huh?” Kylie was confused.
“You also know that your mouth can be used to ask questions. Unlike before, when you

secretly sentenced me to death.”
Kylie blushed in embarrassment.
She had mistakenly thought that something was going on between Ethan and Zola previously. It seemed like Ethan did not intend to drop this matter forever.
After dinner.
Ethan drove Kylie back in his Maybach.
The car was filled with the sounds of her and Joseph laughing.
Ethan instantly became a tool again.
Suddenly.
Suddenly, Kylie’s fingers trembled and her heart skipped a beat.
In the dark car, Ethan had secretly grabbed onto Kylie’s hand and held it tightly in his own.
Kylie pursed her lips.
Her heart suddenly beat faster.
After holding onto her hand, Ethan turned to look out of the window.
Even though she could only see the back of his head, Kylie could sense his stubbornness.
Ethan refused to let go.
Kylie did not pull her hand away either.
That was because… The feeling was not as repulsive as she thought it would be.
“Mommy?” Joseph called her twice.
Kylie came back to her senses and quickly chatted with Joseph again.
Along the way, Kylie’s palm was sweating from how tightly Ethan was holding onto it. He could not bear to let go.

Kylie felt a little puzzled. Ethan had clearly passed the age of first love, yet he was still behaving like this.
They reached the garage.
Kylie moved her fingers.
Ethan reluctantly let go.
Kylie opened the car door and said gently. “Bye, Joseph.”
“Bye, Mommy,” Joseph said reluctantly.
Kylie stroked Joseph’s face and then got out of the car.
After she entered the elevator, the sedan left the garage.
It was very quiet in the car.
Joseph sat in the back seat obediently. He was not as active as he was in front of Kylie.
“Jos,” Ethan suddenly said.
“Yeah?” Joseph answered.
“Do you want to go to summer camp?” Ethan asked.
Joseph looked at his daddy.
“The kind where you’ll be away for a month,” Ethan added.
Joseph pursed his lips. “Daddy, why don’t you just give me away to others?”
Ethan was at a loss for words.
