He extended his hand to me, and I naturally took his arm.

Damian rushed over, his voice trembling, “Ava! Have you lost your mind? He’s Isabella’s uncle…”
Jonathan gave Damian a dismissive glance and sneered, “A worthless person like you dares to make my daughter suffer?“]]
Whispers spread throughout the room.[]
I looked at Damian and said softly. “I forgot to introduce you. This is my father.“]
Isabella’s face instantly turned ashen.]]
As the car door closed, Damian’s shouts were completely shut out.
I leaned back in my seat, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
“Ava, it’s been a while.”
A deep, magnetic voice came from beside me. I instinctively moved away slightly.[]
Ethan’s long fingers casually tapped his knee. His perfectly tailored black suit accentuated his flawless physique, highlighting his pale complexion.[]
The beauty mark near the corner of his eye was faintly visible, his thin lips slightly pressed together, exuding an innate nobility.
“Had enough of watching the show?” I glared at him irritably.
He suddenly leaned closer, bringing with him a faint scent of cologne. His finger gently brushed the wound on my temple.]]
“Looking so miserable–not like the Ava I know at all.“]
“None of your damn business!” I slapped his hand away, only to have him catch mine.]]
“Ava! Don’t be so rude!” My father snorted from the front seat. “If Ethan hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known my precious daughter was living such a wretched life.“[
My father glared at me through the rearview mirror. “Some nobody without connections dared to make my daughter suffer like this?“]
I lowered my head as tears began to fall.]
“Tsk.” Ethan suddenly pinched my cheek. “Why are you crying? You look terrible.“[]
“Ouch! Ethan, let go!”
The Kane family mansion was brilliantly lit.]
During dinner, Ethan sat comfortably beside me, methodically cutting his steak.
I kicked his shoe under the table. “Why haven’t you left yet?“[]
He elegantly sipped his red wine, “Uncle Jonathan asked me to stay and keep you company, help you take your mind off things.”
“You” I stood up angrily, but he pulled me back into my seat.[]
“Lat properly.” He placed a piece of steak in my bowl. “You look like a walking skeleton!“]
I lowered my head and ate, not daring to look at him. Honestly, I’ve always been a little afraid of Ethan.[]
That winter years ago, I saved his life, and afterward, he started coming to my house frequently. My father once said that Ethan was a typical “cold–blooded killer in gentleman’s clothing“-polite and elegant on the surface, but cold and ruthless inside
When I insisted on marrying Damian back then, his eyes turned frighteningly cold, his expression as grim as my father’s.]
“You’ll regret it,” he had said at the time
1 felt like he was cursing me, and I angrily retorted. “A heartless person like you deserves to grow old alone!“]
Later I heard he’d gone to Europe and never returned.[]
I never expected that with just one phone call, both he and my father would rush to my side.]
I stake a glance at him. After five years, he had become even more mature and steady, with the unmistakable aura of someone in power. There was no trace of any hardshup from his time away
“What are you looking at?” He suddenly looked up, his deep eyes gazing straight into my heart

I hurriedly looked down, my heart skipping a beat.]]
