The Grants: Choosing One Between The Two-Chapter 188: Yvette Aston Resembles Harrison Sterling’s Mother
Exhausted and sleepy, Yvette Aston nestles in Ethan Grant’s arms and sleeps until early the next morning.
"Breakfast, hmm?" Ethan Grant, already washed up, sits on the bed and calls Yvette Aston to get up.
Yvette Aston rubs her eyes.
She finds them swollen...
"Good morning, Mr. Grant." As soon as she speaks, her voice is hoarse.
Yvette Aston lowers her head in grievance, tears brimming.
She cried herself hoarse last night; how could Ethan Grant be so excessive?
"I’ll take you to the beach later." Ethan Grant pinches Yvette Aston’s chin and kisses her on the face.
Why does she feel so precious?
"Can you swim?" Ethan Grant rubs Yvette Aston’s head.
"Yes!" Yvette Aston’s eyes light up, showing she is very excited.
She not only knows how to swim but also set a small diving record — she’s super skilled.
"That’s awesome." Ethan Grant stands up and sits on a nearby sofa, waiting for Yvette Aston to change into her swimsuit.
Yvette Aston’s ears turn red; how could Ethan Grant... such a stark contrast, like coaxing a child.
Moreover, Yvette Aston is surprisingly finding Ethan Grant increasingly affectionate towards her.
He likes to sneak kisses when no one is around, likes to coax her, likes to hold her hand.
Just like... a couple in love.
Stunned for a moment, Yvette Aston frightens herself with her thoughts.
Ethan Grant just temporarily feels fresh towards her, don’t be too self-assured...
With her heartbeat slowing, Yvette Aston calmly gets out of bed, washes up, and changes into her swimsuit.
The swimsuit she bought is a simple camisole one-piece with a little skirt over it.
Her skin is snow-white, like mutton fat jade; wearing the white one-piece swimsuit, her figure is outlined perfectly.
Sitting on the sofa, Ethan Grant was originally looking forward to it, but when he sees Yvette Aston in the swimsuit, he frowns and gets up to cover her with a bathrobe. "Don’t want others to see."
Yvette Aston stammers. "Then, then we won’t go."
Reading Yvette Aston’s desire, Ethan Grant insists she wants to go.
"Go diving." Ethan Grant pulls Yvette Aston onto his lap, letting her sit there to eat breakfast.
"How do you know I can dive?" Yvette Aston’s eyes shine bright.
"Hmph..." Ethan Grant snorts, staying silent.
Of course, it’s from those photos and videos Jayden Grant kept.
Though he’s crazy jealous, he wants to know more about Yvette Aston, forcing himself to repeatedly watch those pictures and MVs Jayden Grant took of her back then.
...
By the seaside, this kind of private spot isn’t too crowded, but those who come are invariably wealthy or distinguished.
Some are surfing, others sunbathing, making the scene lively.
"Hey pretty lady, are you alone?" While Yvette Aston is applying sunscreen under a parasol, someone strikes up a conversation.
Nervously glancing around, Yvette Aston feels scared.
Unsure where Ethan Grant has gone.
Seeing Yvette Aston doesn’t answer, the handsome guy imagines she’s not local, thus switches to English.
Cautiously, Yvette Aston glances at the tall, handsome guy in front of her, radiant with a beaming smile.
With deep-set features, he belongs to the category of strikingly handsome men, estimated 188 cm tall, wearing only beach shorts, with a body even surpassing that of a model.
Nevertheless, Yvette Aston still thinks Ethan Grant looks the best. Even as they walked together, it didn’t stop those women from approaching him for contact details.
"Pretty lady, can I have your contact information?" The handsome guy awkwardly scratches his head, continuing in English.
Yvette Aston shakes her head, about to refuse.
"She’s taken." Ethan Grant’s deep voice cuts through.
The handsome guy hesitates, eyeing Ethan Grant. "Fancy running into you."
Ethan Grant frowns, finding nothing fancy about it.
"Acquainted?" Yvette Aston nervously asks.
"Sean Sterling, second son of The Sterlings, younger brother of Harrison Sterling." Ethan Grant somberly introduces.
Yvette Aston nods in surprise. "No wonder he looks somewhat familiar."
Turns out he’s with the Sterling Family.
"Didn’t expect to encounter you here." Compared to Ethan Grant and Harrison Sterling’s cold demeanor, Sean Sterling looks much sunnier, chatting enthusiastically with Ethan Grant.
Ethan Grant silently radiates a "I don’t want to deal with you" expression.
"Never thought our taste is so similar, Mr. Grant being so confident surely wouldn’t mind me adding this pretty lady on WeChat, right?" Sean Sterling feels unwilling to give up.
He spotted Yvette Aston long ago; ever since catching sight of her, his gaze hasn’t wandered.
For some reason, it’s strange; he feels something special in Yvette Aston draws his attention.
"I do mind." Ethan Grant bluntly declines.
Sean Sterling stalls, awkwardly rubbing his nose. "Alright then..."
Seeing Ethan Grant is clearly unfriendly, Sean Sterling has no choice but to leave.
Turning back to look at Yvette Aston several times, Sean Sterling also finds it strange.
He’s surrounded by countless women; although Yvette Aston is indeed beautiful and stunning, she’s clearly not his type, yet he can’t understand why he’s attracted.
"What are you looking at?"
Sean Sterling walks a few steps and bumps into Harrison Sterling.
Harrison Sterling frowns, following his brother’s gaze.
What a coincidence... Ethan Grant and Yvette Aston.
Indeed, enemies on a narrow path.
"Heh, didn’t expect Mr. Grant to have the leisure to bring his lady on vacation." Harrison Sterling’s tone is quite hostile.
"You’re being nosy." Ethan Grant is quite angry, thinking from now on he’ll need to investigate travels to avoid running into the Sterlings.
Yvette Aston also fears Harrison Sterling, hiding behind Ethan Grant.
"Bro, why so fierce, scaring people." Sean Sterling is a bit upset. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Scaring? You must be blind, having a thing for her?" Harrison Sterling warns his brother. "If she were timid, she wouldn’t have served five years for extortion."
Sean Sterling freezes, gazing back at Yvette Aston.
Yvette Aston hangs her head, nervously clutching her hands.
She thought coming overseas with no one knowing her, she would need not fear... Turns out, no matter where she goes, there are always people trampling her wounds and dignity.
"Harrison Sterling, my manners keep me from using foul language, but if I don’t, I have nothing to say to you. You better get lost." Ethan Grant was in a good mood earlier, bringing Yvette Aston out for a nice time.
Really didn’t check the calendar for an unlucky day.
"Ethan Grant, how did you promise me about Paige Fulton going to Meridia?" Harrison Sterling is equally furious.
Seems this is a matter of seeking justice for Paige Fulton.
Ethan Grant had agreed earlier to take care of Paige Fulton with Harrison Sterling, but hadn’t agreed to marry her.
"Bro, what are you talking about?" Sean Sterling frowns, blocking between Ethan Grant and Harrison Sterling. "Bro, what’s going on with you? This is a public space, what are you saying? You know them? Very well?"
Harrison Sterling ignores Sean Sterling.
But Sean Sterling doesn’t relent. "No way, you must apologize. They haven’t offended you; your sudden action is too extreme."
"Sean Sterling!" Harrison Sterling gets a headache from his brother’s commotion.
"If you don’t apologize, I’ll call mom right now, tell her you insult women in public, it’s too much." Sean Sterling doesn’t know why he feels protective of Yvette Aston, seeing her eyes redden brings a tightness in his chest.
"Sean Sterling, did your brain get soaked while diving?" Harrison Sterling doesn’t want to explain.
But he also realizes he might have been somewhat excessive.
No matter if Yvette Aston is feigning, her tear-brimmed appearance does make him breathe tightly.
"Must apologize." Sean Sterling disagrees with Harrison Sterling leaving like this.
Harrison Sterling frowns, they’re here for a wedding banquet, and since mom’s also around, he fears his brother stirring things up.
"Yvette Aston, sorry." Harrison Sterling turns back and apologizes to her.
Ethan Grant pays no heed to Harrison Sterling, taking Yvette Aston away.
Yvette Aston turns to glance at Harrison Sterling, quickly averting her gaze.
Harrison Sterling frowns, trying to fathom why he’s attracted to this woman?
"Bro, doesn’t she remind you of mom?" Sean Sterling suddenly exclaims.
He realizes why he’s attracted to Yvette Aston.
Because Yvette Aston looks so much like his mom in her youth!
