His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 26: Who Gave You Permission to Touch Me?
Kiana Sutton quickly let go, her face visibly flushing.
At this moment, Smith suddenly clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention to him.
Smith gave Ethan Sinclair a slight smile and politely inquired, "President Sinclair, I’m feeling hungry too. May I join you for a meal?"
Ethan curled his lips slightly, "If Mr. Smith doesn’t mind..."
"Mrs. Sinclair packed delicious food for us from such a distance; I’m grateful enough, how could I mind?"
Seeing Smith genuinely pick up a knife to eat the packed leftovers, Matthew Crowe and Iris Lockwood were taken aback.
What’s going on?
Are wealthy people starting to trend on eating leftovers?
Matthew Crowe sat nearby, awkwardly unsure whether to eat or not, his face unusually sour.
Daphne then approached Kiana Sutton, "Miss Sutton, I’m sorry for not speaking with you earlier. It’s not that I disliked you, I just wanted to see why you packed this food. But thank you, it made my husband eat happily."
Actually, Daphne had been observing Kiana Sutton and Iris Lockwood from the start.
Affection can be feigned, but the nuances of daily life cannot.
Ethan Sinclair suddenly brought an apparently mute wife to meet them; it’s hard not to suspect ulterior motives.
But in conversations with Kiana Sutton, she discovered that Kiana genuinely loves Ethan Sinclair.
Moreover, Kiana is meticulous and considerate; though not a wealthy heiress, she carries herself with dignity and proper etiquette.
Compared to Iris Lockwood, she seems more like an heiress.
When Kiana packed the food, Daphne didn’t immediately express her opinion, suspecting that Kiana might know something about Smith’s past and might be using it to gain favor.
However, Kiana’s anxiety and unease along the way made her realize Kiana had no ulterior motive and just didn’t want to waste food.
And Ethan Sinclair didn’t blame Kiana at all; someone with a cleanliness obsession actually ate leftovers to avoid making his wife sad.
Although the leftovers hadn’t been touched by them three.
Before being with Daphne, Smith had experienced many hardships and was very appreciative of food.
Daphne’s family also followed the principle of never wasting, thus packing food is considered a virtue, not shameful.
People can disguise themselves in many ways, but sincerity is indomitable.
Matthew Crowe realized that his earlier words might not only offend Kiana Sutton but potentially Smith as well, anxiously trying to amend, "Mr. Smith, if you’re hungry, let’s go to a restaurant."
Smith and Ethan Sinclair finished off the packed food on the table, Smith casually said to Matthew Crowe, "No need, I’m already full. President Sinclair, thank you and your wife, I’ve had a wonderful time today."
Iris Lockwood had never expected that hosting a meal would end up benefiting others, gritting her teeth in frustration.
This mute person clearly isn’t as innocent and naive as she seems, but rather deeply cunning.
After the meal, Kiana Sutton considered tidying up but Ethan Sinclair asked her to sit and chat with Daphne while he cleaned up.
Matthew Crowe saw this and quickly held Ethan Sinclair’s hand, "President Sinclair, let me help you clean up."
Ethan Sinclair shook off Matthew Crowe’s hand coldly, his hand turning red immediately.
Seeing this, Kiana Sutton, fearing Ethan might hit him in anger, instinctively rushed over and tightly held Ethan’s hand.
Her hand was soft and cool, slightly soothing the burning sensation on Ethan’s hand.
"Sorry, I’m going to the restroom."
Daphne also noticed the large red area on Ethan’s hand, understanding Kiana wasn’t lying, she smiled slightly and whispered something to Smith.
Smith nodded, having already figured it out.
...
Concerned for Ethan Sinclair, Kiana Sutton followed him to the restroom.
Beside the sink, Ethan repeatedly rubbed his hand, the allergic spots being rubbed raw, his blood colored the sink as his expression turned ominously harsh.
Kiana Sutton watched with anxiety, risking Ethan’s fury, she pulled his hand away from the faucet and cautiously dried it with tissues.
Sensing a sharp and scrutinizing gaze on her, Kiana’s heart tensed up.
"Who gave you permission to touch me?"
Kiana lightly bit her lip, feeling a bit frustrated.
Matthew Crowe upset him, so why vent at her?
"Don’t forget..."
Ethan’s sentence was cut short when Kiana noticed Matthew Crowe, without thinking, she tiptoed and gave Ethan a quick peck on the lips.
Like a dragonfly touching water, the kiss silenced Ethan, making Kiana’s face blush furiously.
Oh great, she kissed Ethan Sinclair!
Ethan won’t make her bleed three inches just because of this, will he?
At this moment, Ethan also spotted Matthew Crowe, he wrapped an arm around Kiana’s waist, coldly glaring at Matthew with eyes as dark as ink, "Didn’t expect President Crowe to have a hobby of spying on others being loving."
Matthew Crowe eyed them, smirking cynically, "President Sinclair and Mrs. Sinclair have been married for three years and she still blushes when giving a kiss, truly rare."
Kiana’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, damn, did Matthew Crowe see through something?
"Kiana and I are in love every day, marriage won’t change that, unlike President Crowe and Mrs. Crowe, who separately indulge their own pursuits just two days after marriage."
Matthew Crowe’s expression changed drastically, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Ethan Sinclair ignored him, pulling Kiana away, but Matthew Crowe angrily blocked their path.
"Ethan Sinclair, don’t think you can secure Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s favor with a randomly found woman posing as a beloved wife; an arrangement like your fake marriage is as fragile as a balloon, easily seen through by the Smiths."
"In that case, what are you afraid of?"
Watching Ethan’s confident and lofty demeanor made Matthew more irate; thinking of something, he sneered, "Ethan Sinclair, how about we make a bet?"
Before Ethan could respond, Matthew Crowe maliciously eyed Kiana Sutton, "We wager on who wins Mr. and Mrs. Smith over; if you win, I’ll give you anything, but if I win, the mute woman in your arms has to spend two days with me."
Kiana’s body trembled slightly, reminded of Ethan previously leaving her for President Langley.
Will Ethan truly give her to someone else again?
Seeing Ethan didn’t immediately refuse, Kiana bit her lip and fiercely pinched his waist.
Wake up; what if Matthew Crowe is testing him?
Ethan lightly released Kiana, grabbed Matthew’s collar, and delivered a solid punch, "You dare call her mute?"
Neither Matthew Crowe nor Kiana Sutton expected Ethan to act.
Matthew Crowe, despite having money and looks, lacked substance.
Considering Ethan’s ruthlessness and coldness made Matthew genuinely scared, refraining from further provoking him, leaving behind threats as he hurriedly fled.
Kiana Sutton: "..."
She thought Matthew Crowe was tougher, yet didn’t expect he’d back down so quickly.
In the next moment, Kiana’s chin was forcefully held, her gaze meeting Ethan’s cold, handsome face.
"If you dare pinch my waist again, I’ll dismantle yours!"
Kiana immediately shook her head, conceding defeat as swiftly as Matthew Crowe had.
