Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 210: Saying Goodbye Properly

"You know?" Ethan Sterling’s chest heaved, and in his rage, his clearly defined hands gripped Seraphina Redgrave tightly.

"Since you know everything, you’ll still do it?"

"You’ve always been clear about what I want to do." Seraphina said calmly, "You said before that you wouldn’t interfere with me, so why the urgency now?"

Ethan stared at her, trying to read every subtle expression on her face.

"I guess you didn’t expect me to be so close to The Law Council, so close it’s just a step away."

Seraphina gazed into Ethan’s amber eyes, "Are you anxious about how to make a choice? Once I truly bring Veridian Isle before everyone, as the biggest tycoon in Z Nation, you’ll have to make a decision, won’t you?"

"I’m just a woman, incomparable to your wealth. You could easily get rid of me, can’t you?"

Businessmen, the most important thing is still making money. Who would be foolish enough to abandon their wealth and status for a woman from Veridian Isle?

"..."

No, it’s not as Seraphina guessed.

He had a feeling, a feeling so real it was undeniable.

Seraphina would leave him, getting closer to her goal and, consequently, farther from him.

He would lose control over her.

This was something Ethan absolutely could not tolerate.

After hearing her words, Ethan laughed coldly, his burning hand slowly caressing Seraphina’s delicate face, then suddenly gripping her neck, "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll resolve this problem of yours when the time comes?"

Say you’re afraid!

Say you’re scared, and I’ll stop.

You’re afraid, aren’t you? So many people are waiting for you.

So stay obediently by my side and don’t think about leaving.

Seraphina didn’t push his hand away, feeling the increasing pressure on her neck.

Finally, she spoke, "You’re a tycoon, I’m a commoner, our positions have always been different, why torment each other like this? You can’t stop me."

"Similarly, I can’t stop you."

Fear, what use is it?

If she was afraid, she would have already died on that island that eats people and doesn’t spit out bones.

"Say that again!" Ethan was so anxious he was incoherent, his grip tightening.

"I, I said, our positions are different, you can’t stop me."

Seraphina felt the force on her neck lessen a bit, and quickly said, "I know you don’t want to hurt me now, but eventually we’ll reach that point, so I hope we can say a proper goodbye in advance so that we won’t have to worry about each other later."

At that time, she wouldn’t look back at him anymore.

"Goodbye?"

"Hahaha..." Ethan laughed, laughed so loudly, so ostentatiously, yet so sadly.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he punched the pillar next to Seraphina.

His eyes turned redder, as if they had just been soaked in blood.

"No way in hell!"

As soon as the words fell, Ethan lowered his head and harshly bit down on Seraphina’s lips.

"It hurts..." Seraphina pounded on Ethan’s shoulder, trying to push him away.

Ethan didn’t care at all, greedily absorbing her warmth with his lips.

Seraphina struggled more fiercely, so Ethan simply picked her up; the movement pulling at the wound on his shoulder, but what did it matter, it was nothing compared to the heartache.

Along the way, Ethan kissed her madly, and she was caught off guard.

Some things, once spoken, would rip open a bloody wound that couldn’t be avoided.

They were people of different classes, so why force it?

This situation, Seraphina hadn’t anticipated at the start.

Ethan, heedless of his own safety, had rescued her from danger time and again, making it impossible for her to truly dislike this man.

Even if the time came when she truly had to deal with him, she’d be unable to harden her heart to get rid of him.

The words she spoke earlier seemed reasonable to her, so why did he lose control so?

With a bang, Ethan kicked open the bedroom door, tossed Seraphina onto the bed, and pressed down on her.

This time, Ethan was more frenzied than ever before.

Seraphina was firmly restrained by him, and in the end, she didn’t know at which time he finally held her and fell asleep.

His arm tightened around Seraphina, making her whole body sweat with heat.

Even sleeping, Ethan’s brow was furrowed deeply.

Before his eyes was a misty vision, the roses in the garden withered.

In a flash, he returned to his childhood.

Back to the day he was hung on the old fan.

Small as he was, he spun alongside the fan’s blades.

His head was dizzy, his stomach churning, nauseous to the point of retching.

However, the servants standing below were all laughing at him.

The small him could only despairingly revolve with the fan, round and round.

Sister, save me...

Tears, in the end, uncontrollably slid down his face.

"Ethan, live well." As the words fell, a violent gunshot pierced his eardrum, shattering his nerves.

"Ah! No—"

Seraphina, save me! Save, me...

He was shouting again, wanting her to rescue him from this hell, he longed for her.

The next moment, his Seraphina stood expressionlessly before him, each word from her mouth devoid of warmth.

"Ethan, you and I are people from two different worlds, we can never have a future."

"I’ve achieved my goal, I’m leaving, goodbye."

No! Don’t! Don’t leave me!

Ethan desperately opened his mouth to shout, but no sound came out.

Why, why does my heart hurt so much!

Why doesn’t anyone want me, why does everyone abandon me.

How can she barged into my life just to leave me here alone.

So determined.

Ethan smiled bitterly, oh, yes, it was I who forcibly brought her into my life.

The fan still turned, the servants below still laughed, yet he could only watch that figure heartlessly disappear from his life....

"Ethan? Ethan?"

"!"

Ethan suddenly opened his eyes, seeing the girl who had just vanished from his dream back at his side, gazing at him with wide eyes.

Without a second thought, he pulled her tightly into his embrace, wanting to merge her into his very being.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Seraphina laboriously extended a hand to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.

Because of Ethan, she was too hot to sleep, just lying there with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly, the man beside her began to tremble incessantly, with large beads of sweat forming on his forehead, a frightening sight.

This was the first time she’d seen him like this.

Ethan suddenly began kissing her, her brows, her eyes, her lips.

He wanted to commit her every inch of skin to memory, only then would his heart find some ease.
