Chapter 429: Chapter 425

"Let her jump if she likes. It’s none of my business!"

Ethan said, expressionless, and pulled the blanket with his long arms to wrap himself tightly like a dumpling.

"But-but Miss Shirley can’t swim, and neither can I!"

Dylan was sweating anxiously outside. "Oh no, Miss Shirley is drowning... Help! Help! Is there a lifeguard around?"

The floating hotel was actually a cluster of wooden villas, so the sound insulation was not ideal.

Shirley’s action made so much noise that the staff members and the guests were attracted to the scene, causing a commotion outside Ethan’s room.

"Damn it!"

Ethan could no longer sleep peacefully, or... Whether it was noisy outside or not, his mind was in turmoil from the moment Shirley found him, so how could he possibly sleep?

The man grabbed a pair of beach pants and slipped them on, further highlighting his tight muscles and lanky model-like body. His messy hair somewhat enhanced his inherent charm, making him not only devilishly handsome but even a little carefree.

He and Ace were the kind of people with innate charm. They were the perfect artwork that God would want to show off.

Thus, the moment he opened the door, the chattering crowd outside fell silent immediately and instinctively made way for him.

Dylan sighed in relief instantly. "You finally came out, Master Ethan. Hurry up and save Miss Shirley. Only you can save her! She’s not allowing other lifeguards to go near her!"

"What a nuisance!"

He grunted disdainfully while stretching his muscles. Then, he walked along the wooden corridor to where Shirley was drowning and dived headfirst into the sea without saying a word.

Shirley’s hair and clothes were soaked wet. Struggling in the water, she refused the assistance of all the lifeguards who tried to get near her. It was until she realized that the person swimming toward her was Ethan that she stopped struggling.

"Ethan, I knew it. You wouldn’t... Cough! Cough... wouldn’t leave me alone!"

She choked on the seawater while floating up and down the sea, looking rather weak and helpless.

Ethan pursed his lips and swam over quietly. His long arm wrapped around her waist easily while his other arm paddled skillfully. Within ten minutes, Shirley was safely brought back to shore.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shirley was curling her body lying on the wooden corridor extending out from the villa. Her white dress was still dripping water, sticking to her slim body, outlining her sexy curve.

Her tiny face, which was glistening with water droplets, was very fair. It was smooth and silky, like porcelain. Under the sunlight, she looked just like the kind of mythical creature described in ancient texts, pure and lustful.

"Hey, isn’t she Shirley, the famous movie star? Why... why did she jump into the sea?"

"Tsk-tsk. She is the diva of Universal Entertainment. Even Ethan, the entertainment mogul, spoils her. Why is she in such a miserable state?"

"I like her movies a lot. Is this really her? I always wanted to take a selfie with her..."

Some tourists recognized her. They gathered around her excitedly and started sizing her up.

Feeling embarrassed, Shirley buried her head in her arms.

Perhaps it was the cold seawater or her numbing anxiety that she was shivering. With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she looked extraordinarily pitiful.

Ethan stood indifferently but failed to harden his heart. He grabbed a towel and threw it onto the woman.

"Send her home, Dylan!"

As soon as he said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don’t go, Ethan!"

With reddened eyes, Shirley hugged Ethan’s long legs and said with a shaking voice, "I know I made an unforgivable mistake this time, but can you at least listen to my explanation? That night I..."

"You don’t have to explain yourself!"

Ethan turned his back to the woman and said in an eerily cold voice, "There is nothing to say about me and you. You know best how I have treated you for so many years. I have nothing to feel guilty about."

"Of course, I do. You are the nicest person to me, and also the only one. You only wanted to be good to me and never asked for anything in return. Because of this, I feel miserable. I hurt you, so I want to make up..."

"If you want to make up for it, get lost from my world. I don’t want to see you anymore!"

Ethan tensed his face and tried to harden his heart.

He tried to break away from Shirley’s restraints, but she held on desperately and refused to let go. With her face firmly planted against the man’s leg, she cried, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. I didn’t know until now how good a person I had hurt. Will you give me another chance? I know you still love me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have saved me..."

More and more people were attracted to the commotion. They took out their smartphones to film the scene.

Frowning, Ethan lowered his voice and said, "Knock it off. You are a public figure. How are you going to survive in the industry after making such a mess?"

"I have searched all the islands of this world these months. I cannot just let you go now that I found you. I won’t let you go even if it ruins my acting career!" Shirley shouted, disregarding her public image.

Ethan stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Stop filming!"

He stopped the tourists from filming Shirley’s wretched appearance and warned, "If anyone of you filming dares to upload this online without consent, I shall see you in court!"

Shirley was greatly relieved though she was still weeping. She knew that she had won again this time!

Though, she made a mistake that no normal man could possibly forgive.

But so what? She was emboldened by favoritism.

Ethan had compromised for her too many times in these four years, and this time was no different...

"Hey, hey, hey, are you guys done messing around? It’s so noisy!"

A clear and snobby voice suddenly rang outside the crowd.

The crowd looked over and saw a tall woman. Donning a denim sunhat, a bohemian halter top, and blue denim shorts, she was curling her thin lips into a sneer and watched with her arms crossed.

"Clara?"

The moment Ethan got a good look at her face, there seemed to be stars shining around her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, making them look visibly brighter.

It was a pleasant thing to meet someone he knew in the city, especially when the person had quite a relationship with him.

"You... you know her?"

Shirley froze and suddenly felt a bit anxious because she had a feeling that this woman had an unusual relationship with Ethan.

As the head of one of the biggest entertainment companies in the nation, Ethan was constantly surrounded by so many women. He was never lacking one in the first place.

However, this woman was completely different from the other eye candies. This made Shirley instantly feel a sense of crisis.

"We... Not only do we know each other, our relationship is rather unusual!"

Clara walked slowly to Ethan with an ambiguous smile, then hugged the man’s arm and said coquettishly, "Come on, introduce me to Miss White."
