His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 209: Stood Outside the Door All Night
Connor Grant felt completely off; the events of tonight had unfolded too suddenly.
Seeing Kiana Sutton’s face as pale as paper and a look of utter despair, he couldn’t bear it, "Young Madam, it’s already very late. How about I take you home first?"
Kiana Sutton seemed not to hear Connor Grant’s words, her eyes blankly fixed on room 2308’s door, tears streaming down her face.
"That... The Fifth Master surely won’t touch Miss Lynch; perhaps they are just..."
Connor Grant couldn’t continue his sentence; he wanted to comfort Kiana Sutton but didn’t know what to say.
Seeing Kiana Sutton not moving at all, he had no choice but to leave first to investigate tonight’s incident.
Quentin Sinclair didn’t leave either. Looking at Kiana Sutton’s lost and broken appearance, he suddenly felt a connection as if they were both drifting nomads.
If Kiana Sutton weren’t the love rival of Kate Lynch, he might have tried to become friends with her.
The two stood by the door for a long, long time until after 4 a.m. when Quentin Sinclair left.
As he was leaving, he said to Kiana Sutton, "So much time has passed, whatever was going to happen between them has already happened. There’s no point in deceiving yourself anymore."
Kiana Sutton didn’t respond to Quentin Sinclair; she just stood there outside the door all night.
She couldn’t see what was happening inside, but just thinking about it made her chest tighten painfully.
It wasn’t until the sky lightened that she faintly withdrew her gaze and left the hotel, desolate and desperate.
Five hours earlier in the room, Kate Lynch intended to take advantage of this opportunity to be intimate with Ethan Sinclair.
Ethan Sinclair treated her very well, provided her with the best resources, and treated her very gently, but she wasn’t sure if Ethan Sinclair was good to her because of guilt towards Felix Lynch or if he truly liked her.
As long as Ethan Sinclair didn’t touch her, she couldn’t feel at ease for a single day.
After all, she had previously witnessed the intimate scene between Ethan Sinclair and Kiana Sutton with her own eyes.
She also wanted Ethan Sinclair to treat her that way.
But to her complete surprise, seeing her like this, Ethan Sinclair had no other thoughts and even wanted to dispel the effects of the drug on her with cold water.
The cold water in autumn was chilling to the bone; she felt hot and uncomfortable all over. While soaking in the water made her feel much better, it wasn’t what she wanted.
She deliberately tore her gauzy dress, revealing her fair and beautiful shoulder, "Ian, it’s so cold, hug me... please hug me?"
At this moment, Kate Lynch’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes seductive, and every part of her exuded allure. If it were any other man, he would have been unable to resist.
But Ethan Sinclair had no such thoughts; he only wanted to quickly help Kate Lynch counteract the drug effects.
To him, the fastest way was to soak in cold water.
Thus, he wrapped her in a towel and then took the shower head, turning on the cold water, pouring it over Kate Lynch.
Kate Lynch, tormented by the drugs and still having to endure cold water pouring over her, felt completely miserable. She pitifully began to cry, "So cold, so cold... Ian, what are you doing?"
"Bear with it, this will make the drug effects dissipate faster."
Kate Lynch: "..."
The fastest way wasn’t to take her to bed and manually relieve her drug effects?
"No... don’t, it’s so uncomfortable... Ian, help me..."
Kate Lynch reached out, wanting Ethan Sinclair to hold her, but he pushed her back into the bathtub, "Stay put, it will be over soon."
Kate Lynch never expected the situation to unfold like this, with Ethan Sinclair unwilling to touch her.
And what if it were Kiana Sutton?
Would he let Kiana Sutton soak in cold water too?
"No, it’s too hot..."
She removed the towel, just about to get up. She had finally gotten this chance; she wouldn’t give it up so easily.
But in the next second, the towel was wrapped around her again, and she was once more pushed into the bathtub.
Just like that, one intent on seduction, one purely aiding in dispelling the drug effects.
After struggling for most of the night, Kate Lynch’s complexion finally returned to normal, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Ethan Sinclair looked at the sleeping Kate Lynch, feeling both exhausted and annoyed.
All he could think about was Kiana Sutton’s pleading expression as she tugged on his sleeve.
What exactly was the connection between Kiana Sutton and tonight’s series of events?
After daylight broke, Connor Grant arrived at the hotel with the information he had gathered.
He reported all the findings to Ethan Sinclair, and seeing Ethan Sinclair’s face grow darker, he felt anxious but still spoke up for Kiana Sutton.
"The Fifth Master, although all the evidence points to the Young Madam, I still believe there’s a misunderstanding in all this."
Ethan Sinclair didn’t reply, and at that moment, Kate Lynch awoke.
As soon as Kate Lynch woke up, she seemed still haunted by last night’s events, throwing herself into Ethan Sinclair’s arms, "Ian, it’s all thanks to you last night; if it weren’t for you, I surely would have..."
Ethan Sinclair gently pushed Kate Lynch aside, "Last night, why were you having dinner with Kiana Sutton?"
Thinking back to last night, Kate Lynch forced a few tears, "I only found out yesterday afternoon that Kiana’s mother didn’t steal my necklace, and it was someone in the studio who framed her. I wanted to treat Kiana to dinner and have her apologize to her mother on my behalf, but I didn’t expect..."
"Was it Kiana Sutton who drugged you?"
Kate Lynch nodded tearfully, "My right hand was injured, and I asked her to pour me a drink... I know she hates me because her father is in jail thanks to me, but I didn’t expect her to collude with Quentin Sinclair to set me up."
While speaking, Kate Lynch tightly embraced Ethan Sinclair, "Ian, I was in a coma for three years, and when I woke to know you were married, it was a devastating blow to me. I was truly in pain and despair."
After a few choked sobs, Kate Lynch continued, "I didn’t know what to do. I thought that if you and Kiana Sutton were in love, even in pain, I would smile and bless you two. But seeing her like she is now, how could I possibly feel at ease letting you be with her?"
Connor Grant squinted at Kate Lynch, his cheeks puffed with anger.
Kate Lynch was about to continue, but Ethan Sinclair pushed her away, "Kate, I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding last night’s events. You’ve been through a scare; get some rest first."
Ethan Sinclair turned to leave, but Kate Lynch grabbed his arm, "Are you going to just send me a gift to pretend like nothing happened, just like last time when Kiana pushed me into the lake?"
Ethan Sinclair removed Kate Lynch’s hand and softly reassured her, "Go home first. Connor Grant, take Kate home."
"Yes!"
Watching Ethan Sinclair leave like that, Kate Lynch clenched her fists tightly. This time, she would definitely not let it go.
