“No.”
“Ethan, you’re too good,” Annetta said, “I was quite sad today. I know that my father doesn’t love my mother. I think he married her only because she was the eldest daughter of the Powell’s and for her money. But I never expected him to give my mother’s necklace to that mistress’s daughter for her birthday.”
“Mom must be heartbroken when she knows about this. This is how the man she loved for so many years treats her…” The little girl said sadly, “Mom died a long time ago. I recall her being such a tender person … Ethan, is your mom also a very tender person?”
Ethan said, “She passed away a long time ago. I don’t really remember her.”
“I’m sorry, Ethan.”
“It doesn’t matter.” The man’s deep voice gently brushed against Annetta’s ear like a gentle breeze. “We will be reunited one day. The wind beside your ears and the water in the mountains remind you that she’s always with you…”
Annetta was stunned. Perhaps this was the longest sentence Ethan had said so far. Furthermore, he had said it just to comfort her.
Annetta felt extremely touched.
Yes, even if her mother was gone, she must have been nearby, silently protecting her. Otherwise, how could she have lived such a cowardly life in her previous life and be reborn and given a second chance in life?
“Ethan, don’t be sad. I will also be your ‘wind beside your ears’ and be with you every day.”
The man did not answer, but his back stiffened for a moment.
Annetta didn’t feel anything and said, “Ethan, let’s get into the car! I want to go home.”
“Okay.” The man stopped happily. When the car slowly drove over, he opened the door and let her get into the car.
That night, he kept having sex with her. Maybe it was to prevent her from overthinking too much.
She cried out vacantly, “Ethan.”
It was as if this word was her only salvation.
“Yes, I am here,” he replied in a low, husky voice.
‘I am here’ were better than a thousand other words. It reminded her that she was no longer alone in this world.
Annetta looked at him with teary eyes.
“I’m so glad, I’m so glad that you’re by my side. The world is cruel, but your love is my salvation.”
That night, after countless times of ‘bed activity’, she finally fell asleep in Ethan’s arms.
That night, she also slept exceptionally soundly. Her body was so tired that she couldn’t think of anything else.
A kiss woke her up the next day. She opened her eyes sleepily and saw a familiar and handsome face. His dark eyes seemed to contain a whole galaxy. He smiled when he saw her, “Are you awake?”
Annetta immediately had a bad feeling about this. Before she could even open her mouth, he pounced on her again.
After having some sex in the morning, Annetta was exhausted. She asked in a depressed and serious tone, “Ethan, aren’t you tired?”
“Tired?” The man seemed to hear something he didn’t like.
So a new round began.
Annetta was speechless.
That was why she could not ask the man whether he was tired or not… Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After breakfast, Annetta felt much better.
Today was officially Leo’s first day of filming. Annetta planned to ask the school for a day off to accompany him to the filming location. As usual, she encountered some problems asking Giselle Long for a day’s leave. However, she was able to deal with those problems without breaking a sweat.
When they arrived at the filming location, Annetta realized that the place was next to the filming site of the drama “Concubines in the Palace”.
Since Annetta was left with nothing to do while Leo was at the film’s opening ceremony, she walked next door to see how “Concubines in the Palace” was being filmed. This drama had been a success in her previous life. In this life, she and her uncle had invested a lot of money into it. As a result, she wanted to check how the shooting was progressing while she was nearby.
