He assumed that this woman with a beautiful figure would be a beautiful woman. He never expected her to have such a terrifyingly hideous face. How disgusting!
Others at the table had also noticed the “Beauty” downstairs. They immediately joked, “She looks good from the back view, but once she turns around, her face is enough to scare one to death.”
“Bless our Mr. Davies’ little heart. What a terrible fright he must have had.”
“Haha!”
Ms. Branch listened to the laughter and babbling around her and sneaked a peek at the hotel’s garden on a lower floor. She saw the woman’s face and couldn’t help letting out a snort as she exclaimed, “She’s hideous!”
The man beside her suddenly got up abruptly.
His aura was too strong. When he passed by her, Ms. Branch was so shocked that she accidentally knocked her wine glass over and spilt red wine all over herself.
Ms. Branch shrieked, but the man ignored her and left.
The next second, all the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the hotel garden were closed, leaving only a dark screen.
This had never happened before at Elder Cabin Hotel.
After leaving the banquet hall, Annetta did not return to the Harris family immediately. Instead, she sat at a seat in the hotel garden for a long time.
When night fell, a man’s slender figure suddenly appeared in the empty garden. The man walked to her side, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her cold little body.
She looked up at the man who was approaching her. She sniffed, leaned over, and buried her head in the man’s arms, saying in a choked voice, “Ethan, I miss my mom.”
Although Ethan was naturally indifferent, he knew more or less about Annetta’s family because of his relationship with Annetta.
However, the little girl had never been interested in this before. He did not know why she had suddenly become vulnerable today.
Young Master Ethan did not know how to comfort this vulnerable girl, so fragile as if she would break into pieces with just one touch. He just held her and stroked her long hair with his long and warm fingers.
Annetta lay in Ethan’s arms, and her cold little body gradually warmed up. She did not move, just wanting to lie quietly in Ethan’s embrace.
She wanted to forget about all her grievances and grudges for the time being, whether they were from a former life or this one. She needed some alone time to unwind and forget about everything. She just wanted to be herself, without having to be wary of others.
After a long time, the little girl in his arms opened her mouth and mumbled, “It’s so quiet. Doesn’t anyone else from the hotel come here?”
In fact, Ethan had planned all of his activities at the Elder Cabin Hotel ever since Annetta went to the banquet. After seeing her in the garden, he had instructed the hotel employees to clear out all of the guests in the garden and close all of the windows that faced the garden.
After lying in Ethan’s arms for a while, Annetta straightened up and said to Ethan, “Ethan, let’s go home!”
“Okay.” The man answered in a low voice, with a gentle tone that he had never used before.
Annetta stretched out two long arms. “Piggyback me back.”
The normally domineering man got up with his back to the little girl and squatted in front of her.
Annetta looked at his broad back, sniffed, and obediently got onto his back.
Ethan carried his little girl out of the garden. Many people stared at him when he passed the hotel lobby.
The guests who could afford Elder Cabin Hotel were either rich or noble, but most of them did not know who Ethan was. Everyone could only see an extremely handsome man carrying a hideous woman on his back.
There was a Bentley 728 worth ten million dollars waiting outside. One of the hotel ushers also held the car door open for him. However, instead of entering the car, he carried the woman on his back and walked towards the road.
As a result, everyone saw an extremely romantic scene. The handsome man carried the woman on his back and walked along the sidewalk, whilst a Bentley 728 followed closely behind them.
Annetta leaned on Ethan and asked softly, “Ethan, are you tired?”
