I was wrong, and I swear it won't happen again." "Ethan..." I could hardly get the words out through my tears. I wrapped my arms around him and held on tight.
At that moment, I realized we'd always held a special place for each other in our hearts.
Just then, the doctor walked in, smiling with relief. "Mr. Grayson waking up is great news. But he's still really weak and needs lots of rest. You'll need to take good care of him during this time, Mrs. Grayson." I almost told him I wasn't Ethan's wife but his business partner. But instead, I nodded quickly. "I won't leave him, not for a second!" Ethan's eyes locked with mine, full of affection and warmth. "Guess I'll be counting on you, 'Mrs. Grayson." "Ethan!" I blushed and gave him a lighthearted punch.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few days later, Ethan was finally released from the hospital. Although he wasn't ready to get back to work, his spirits were much better.
I stayed with him day and night, making sure he had everything he needed. He'd always teasefor being overprotective, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Evelyn, I'm not that fragile. You need to get srest, too," he said.
"Those two jerks would've killed you if it weren't for me, you idiot!" I teased.
Ethan let out a helpless laugh and pulledinto his arms. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say." As tpassed, our relationship grew stronger and more affectionate. All the hurdles and conflicts seemed to fade away with his recovery.
But within days, Rowan was out on bail. Word was his family had sstrong connections. Richard was released due to lack of evidence.
The first thing they did after getting out was show up at our door, over and over again.
"There's no such thing as permanent enemies in business, Ms. Wiley. How about we put the past behind us and work together again?" Rowan asked, flashing a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "We promise we won't go after Ethan anymore." I shot him a cold look. "Get out." Richard let out an angry laugh. "Do you really think you can carry the whole Grayson Group on your own Evelyn? Don't be so naive! Play along with us, and we'll make sure you live comfortably and climb the ranks in the fashion world. Otherwise, don't blus for getting tough!" I shook with rage, tempted to take them down right then and there. The winner of that day was still up in the air. But this time, they showed up with more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits, and Ethan was still recovering. I couldn't afford to stress him out.
"Take your tand think it through, Ms. Wiley. We're giving you a shot. But if you turn us down... you remember what happened at the hospital, right? Next time, we might not be so lenient! Think carefully!" I'd never find peace as long as these guys were out and about.
Meanwhile, Grayson Group flourished under Ethan's leadership, reaching new levels of success and wealth. Eventually, I moved into the Graysons' residence, and we started Kas a new chapter of our lives together The adjustment wasn't as easy. I'd imagined. Living under the sroof day after day naturally led to sclashes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI'd gotten used to Ethan's dominant way of doing things, but now that he was showeringwith so much attention, it felt oddly uncomfortable.
"One look from me, and the housekeeper's already rushing over with tea. Can't I just get it myself?" I grumbled.
"Of course not," Ethan said as if it were the most obvious thing. "M woman deserves to be pampered. I Wouldn't let those hands of yours get a speck of grease on them." "What? Is a little grease supposed to scare me? Just so you know, I can cook just fine." I scoffed.
"That might be a hobby, but it's not your job," Ethan said firmly. "Youn only responsibility in this house is to be my girlfriend. I'll take care of everything else." He was so stubborn about it that I couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "Very well, Your Majesty, I submit."
Life drifted by peacefully. The Graysons treatedwith the utmost respect But for sreason, I felt like things had been a little too quiet lately.
