His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 122: The Brazen One Is Here

At this moment in the fencing hall on the second floor, Ethan Sinclair’s gaze was sharp as he landed a hit on his opponent, who raised his hands in surrender, "I lost, I lost!"

Ethan Sinclair removed his helmet and ran his fingers through his sweat-soaked hair.

His features were refined and handsome, his physique firm and tall, and just that gesture of brushing his hair was overflowing with hormones, making him exceptionally attractive.

The man facing him also took off his mask, and while he was good-looking, he still couldn’t compare to Ethan Sinclair.

This man was named Gavin Hale, who used to often play with Miles Goodman’s brother, Ian Goodman. After Ian went to prison for murder, he became Ethan Sinclair’s playmate.

"Thanks to The Fifth Master for letting me choose fencing over boxing. If it were boxing with you, I probably wouldn’t be alive right now."

Ethan Sinclair wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, his expression still grim.

"What’s up with you today? Who’s the short-sighted one that made our Fifth Master Sinclair angry?"

Just thinking of that woman made Ethan Sinclair even more frustrated.

"I’m going to take a shower!"

While showering, Ethan Sinclair’s mind was filled with Kiana Sutton, that woman’s every frown and smile, every move constantly spinning in his mind.

Especially every time he bullied her, she clearly felt uncomfortable yet actively complied, it was simply...

Damn it! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Kiana Sutton really is toxic.

After taking a cold shower and coming out, he saw Gavin Hale holding a glass of red wine, watching downstairs with a face of amusement.

Seeing Ethan Sinclair come out, Gavin Hale laughed, "Fifth Master, your white moonlight’s sister is having a bowling match again, but this time it’s not a man, rather a cute and petite little fairy."

Ethan Sinclair was not interested in Stella’s affairs.

Stella was very skilled at bowling, always with an air of supremacy. Whenever she was happy or unhappy, she’d come here to challenge someone, humiliating the losers to satisfy herself.

"Let’s go!"

Seeing Ethan Sinclair picking up his clothes to leave, Gavin Hale laughed, "Not gonna watch? I heard Stella and that girl made a bet that the loser has to kneel down and lick the winner’s shoes!"

Then Gavin Hale sighed, "Given Stella’s bowling skills, that little beauty is gonna have a tough time. I don’t know what she’s thinking, challenging Stella to a bowling match."

Ethan Sinclair was about to leave, and Gavin Hale was still chattering behind him. He felt a bit irritated, instinctively wanting to see who that foolhardy woman was, and then he saw Kiana Sutton in the crowd.

Ethan Sinclair: "..."

Kiana Sutton was still wearing the same dress from earlier today; she must have come here after sending Willow away.

Right, Joshua Sutton works here; she must be here to see Joshua.

But how did she end up in a match with Stella?

At that moment, she was surrounded by a group of jeering men and women and the smug and arrogant Stella.

She was so petite and frail, looking just like a chick under attack by a flock of hungry hawks.

Seeing Ethan Sinclair stop in his tracks, Gavin Hale raised an eyebrow, holding a wine glass as he walked up to him, "Worried your future little sister-in-law might suffer, huh? Relax, she..."

Before Gavin Hale could finish, Ethan Sinclair interrupted him coolly, "A short-sighted one has come."

"Huh?"

"Didn’t you want to watch the drama? Up close is even better."

Seeing Ethan Sinclair not leaving straight away but heading toward the bowling alley instead, Gavin Hale froze for a few seconds then quickly put down the glass to chase after him, "Fifth Master, wait for me."

...

Kiana Sutton was still pondering over how a bowling match with Stella could surely mean she’d win.

Just now, she finally heard from others about Stella’s prowess.

They also said there aren’t many people in this establishment who can beat Stella.

To Kiana Sutton, "there aren’t many who can beat Stella" means obviously there are some who have beaten her.

Since Stella isn’t invincible, even with a million-to-one chance, she would give it her all.

Besides, isn’t it just knocking down pins with a ball? It doesn’t seem that hard.

"Kiana Sutton, don’t say I’m bullying you, let’s do a trial round first, how about it?"

Kiana Sutton indeed hadn’t played bowling before; a trial round seemed good to her, so she nodded in agreement.

Stella knocked over ten pins with one ball, and the crowd erupted in cheers and whistles.

She snorted in laughter, looking both proud and smug, then handed the ball to Kiana Sutton, "Your turn."

Kiana Sutton mimicked Stella’s ball grip, tossing the ball.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the ball went straight into the gutter, missing all pins.

"Hahaha..."

Laughter erupted from the crowd, Stella laughed uncontrollably, "Kiana Sutton, are you pretending not to know how to play or are you setting me up for a big surprise during the official match?"

Kiana Sutton bit her lip, her face looking a bit troubled; the ball was quite heavy, and she struggled just to lift and throw it, let alone hit the target.

"Here, you have another ball."

Kiana Sutton was just reaching for the ball when suddenly another one was handed to her, "Use this one."

Hearing a familiar voice, Kiana Sutton quickly turned her head and saw Ethan Sinclair.

Others also noticed Ethan Sinclair, instinctively stepping back a few paces.

Stella’s smile disappeared instantly upon seeing Ethan Sinclair.

Damn, what was Ethan Sinclair doing here?

Then she smiled at Ethan Sinclair, "Brother Ethan, Miss Sutton insisted on a bowling match with me, since you’re here, why not be our referee?"

Kiana Sutton felt uneasy, what a reversal of black and white.

She felt somewhat scared deep down, Stella was Kate’s younger sister, it made sense for Ethan Sinclair to help Stella.

Judging by the situation, she likely wasn’t going to fare well today.

Little did she know Ethan Sinclair merely glanced at Stella, then pulled Kiana Sutton to the lane.

"Selecting a bowling ball is crucial, your strength is too weak, that ball just now wasn’t suitable for you. Picking up the ball..."

Kiana Sutton was somewhat bewildered; she didn’t understand what was going on, but instinctively followed his instructions.

"Step forward with your right foot, simultaneously extending the ball forward."

"Step with your left foot, the angle between the ball in your hand and body should be around 90 degrees."

Kiana Sutton was like a robot, doing whatever Ethan Sinclair told her.

"90 degrees is not enough!"

Ethan Sinclair pressed down on Kiana Sutton’s body, and although it was a simple touch, her body stiffened.

"When stepping forward with your right foot, hold the ball to the back. As your left foot slides out, release the ball gently."

Kiana Sutton was just about to release the ball when Ethan Sinclair suddenly stopped her, "Did I tell you to release the ball?"

Kiana Sutton felt caught like a student who hadn’t listened to the lecture, blushing furiously.

Ethan Sinclair’s face remained expressionless, he continued, "Straighten your body when releasing the ball, relax your shoulders, walk straight down the lane."

Kiana Sutton instinctively relaxed her shoulders, and suddenly felt a tap on her back, "Still not enough, relax more!"

"The swinging of the ball should be like a pendulum, perpendicular to the ground. Your eyes should focus on the arrows on the lane, that’s the path for the ball once it’s released."

Kiana Sutton nodded, and the next second, Ethan Sinclair leaned in close, their noses nearly touching.

For a moment, Kiana Sutton felt like her heart might leap out of her chest.

But Ethan Sinclair acted as if nothing happened, standing up calmly, "Be natural with the hook and release the ball."

Kiana Sutton took a deep breath and released the ball...
