His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 98: Don’t Forget We’re a Married Couple Legally
Ethan Sinclair brought the glass of water to Kiana Sutton’s lips, his eyes filled with warning.
The servants were still watching. In the middle of the night, Kiana Sutton didn’t want to wake everyone.
She drank all the water from the glass, aided by Ethan Sinclair’s hand.
The servant then gave a silly smile, "Young Master and Young Madam are so affectionate. I won’t disturb you, remember to rest early."
Affectionate?
Hearing these words, Kiana Sutton laughed self-deprecatingly. Between her and Ethan Sinclair, there could be anything but affection.
"Want more?"
Kiana Sutton shook her head.
"Then why aren’t you going to sleep? What are you standing there for?"
Kiana Sutton felt a pang in her heart and turned silently back to the room.
When she reached the room and saw Ethan Sinclair follow her in, she realized that she had been staying in Ethan Sinclair’s room these past few days.
"These days, you’ve taken over my nest. Are you comfortable?"
Detecting the sarcasm in Ethan’s words, Kiana Sutton turned to leave, but Ethan blocked her path, "Where are you going?"
Playing dumb!
If she didn’t go to another guest room to sleep, would he really allow them to share a room?
She couldn’t speak, and not daring to use her hands, she could only signal Ethan with her eyes to move aside.
But it was as if Ethan didn’t see, and he picked her up and placed her on the bed.
As Kiana Sutton was about to get up, Ethan pressed her down on the bed, "Don’t move."
The unique scent of Ethan Sinclair slowly seeped into Kiana Sutton’s nose, and the familiar smell made her long for it.
Yet, her heart tightened in her throat because of Ethan Sinclair’s abnormal behavior.
Wasn’t he the one who hated her getting into his bed the most? Why was he...?
Whenever strange things happen, there’s always something behind it. Who knows what mischief this man is plotting?
Facing Kiana Sutton’s highly guarded gaze, Ethan Sinclair inexplicably felt a surge of irritation. Just how bad could he be in her eyes!
"I’ve heard that you’re being treated like a little princess in our house recently. If grandma saw me kicking you to the guest room, wouldn’t I meet a terrible end?"
Ethan suddenly leaned in as he spoke, their noses touching.
Kiana Sutton’s face turned red instantly, and she instinctively backed away, but Ethan held her head firmly, leaving no retreat.
"Or do you want grandma to deal with me as revenge for you?"
As Ethan spoke, his breath sprayed onto Kiana Sutton’s face, and an ambiguous atmosphere naturally arose.
Sensing the increasingly inappropriate atmosphere, Kiana Sutton’s heart skipped a beat. When Ethan snaps, he never cares if she gets hurt.
These days, she had been carefully protecting her fingers, fearing that if they were damaged, she’d lose her ability to communicate.
She must not let Ethan Sinclair go berserk, nor can she let him touch her fingers.
With this in mind, Kiana Sutton threw her head back hard, colliding her forehead with Ethan’s.
Hiss...
She was only focused on getting Ethan to let her go, forgetting that force was mutual.
And her forehead was evidently not as hard as Ethan’s.
Upon collision, Ethan only furrowed his brows slightly, but her head buzzed with pain.
"You’ve got guts, daring to hit me!"
Kiana Sutton thought Ethan was retaliating against her, keeping her guard fully up.
"Hum... if I want to do something to you today, do you think you can stop me!"
Before Kiana Sutton could react, he pinned her to the bed, tucked her in, and got up to head to the bathroom.
"I have no interest in mummies. By the time I’m done showering, you’d better be asleep, or else..."
Ethan didn’t finish his sentence, but Kiana Sutton heard the heavy threat in it.
By now it was half-past midnight, and Kiana Sutton dared not create more trouble.
Listening to the tinkling water sounds from the bathroom, Kiana Sutton’s mind was restless.
Ethan Sinclair... was he splitting again? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Half an hour later, the bathroom door opened, and Kiana Sutton quickly closed her eyes.
She had been trying hard to sleep, but the more she wanted to, the more alert she became.
To prevent Ethan from carrying out the "or else," she could only pretend to sleep.
She heard Ethan drying his hair with a towel, heard him pick up his phone to reply to a message.
Just as she thought Ethan wouldn’t sleep in the bed with her, the covers were suddenly lifted, and Ethan got into the bed.
At that moment, Kiana Sutton’s whole body tensed, not daring to move an inch.
The next second, Ethan pulled her into his arms.
Ethan had taken a cold shower, and as their skins touched, Kiana Sutton shivered but kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them.
She thought she had pretended to sleep flawlessly, believing Ethan couldn’t see through it. Little did she know, her eyelids were fluttering like tiny fans, making it hard for him not to notice.
Ethan gave a soft snort internally. He was too tired recently to bother with any more trouble, and he closed his eyes.
It has to be said, this woman’s body was indeed very soft, comfortable to hold.
Kiana Sutton, considered a bolster by Ethan, thought she’d be doomed to a sleepless night. Surprisingly, she drifted asleep against Ethan’s chest in less than a minute.
Under the moon’s gentle light, a momentary warmth enveloped them.
The next morning, Kiana Sutton was awakened by Quinn Sinclair’s voice.
"Sis-in-law, get up and have breakfast!"
Kiana Sutton opened her eyes groggily, only to see Ethan Sinclair beside her, looking sullen.
Perhaps he hadn’t slept well, as a chill surrounded him.
Kiana Sutton blanked for a few seconds before remembering last night’s incident, but why hadn’t he gotten up to go to work today?
Knock, knock, knock...
Another knock came at the door, "Lazy little sis-in-law, I’m coming in!"
Kiana Sutton’s expression changed dramatically. She wanted to stop Quinn from entering, but she couldn’t speak. Anxiously, she started to fumble out of bed.
Ethan, who hadn’t quite woken up, was already in a bad mood. Seeing Kiana Sutton trying to use her hands to support herself on the bed, he frowned and pulled her waist, "Do you not want your hands?"
The next second, the door was pushed open, and Quinn Sinclair walked in.
Kiana Sutton: "..."
Quinn hardly expected Ethan Sinclair to be back, let alone find him and Kiana Sutton in the same bed.
Ethan was bare-chested, with Kiana rested against his chest.
Seeing Kiana with disheveled hair and an awkward expression, coupled with Ethan’s unsatisfied hateful look, Quinn promptly covered her eyes, "Wow, you guys are wild this early in the morning?"
"Quinn Sinclair!!!"
Seeing Ethan looking like he was ready to eat someone, Quinn’s hand covering her eyes cracked open a slit, "I didn’t see anything, okay?"
She then immediately ran out, "Grandma! Ethan’s back! He..."
Before finishing her sentence, she ran back, blinked at Kiana Sutton, and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
Kiana Sutton felt helpless. With Quinn’s big mouth, it wouldn’t be long before everyone in the old house knew she and Ethan had slept together last night.
Watching Kiana Sutton looking dejected, Ethan frowned slightly, "What? Ashamed that people know you and I slept together? Don’t forget, we’re legally married."
