"Ethan, get out of here at once!"
Janet turned to look at the man with anger in her eyes.The door was immediately slammed shut.
Ethan leaned against the car seat, pretending not to have heard what she said.He absolutely refused to
get out of the car.
Janet bit down on her bottom lip, opened the door, and was about to get off.
However, the driveway happened to be on her side of the door.
As soon as she opened the door, a sports car sped right past her.
Dust and wind blew over her body.
"Didn’t you see a car coming just now?"
Ethan closed the car door, grabbed hold of her wrist, and pulled her right into his arms.
He said in a low and commanding voice to the cab driver before him, "Drive."
But where to? The driver looked at the two with confused eyes from the rearview mirror and curled his
lips.It was really troublesome to have a quarreling young couple in his cab.
They didn’t mention where they were headed, so he started to drive randomly around the city.
Janet’s face had turned a crimson red.She glared at Ethan with her clear eyes and wanted to say
something, but she had no idea where to start.
"If you keep staring at me like that, your eyes will literally pop out of your sockets."
With a teasing smile playing at his lips, Ethan pinched her cheek and planted a big kiss on her face.He
wrapped his fingers around her soft tendrils of hair and his eyes were trained on her.
Even when he seemed like he was languishing in sorrow, he still looked like a rascal with that signature
devil-may-care smirk of his.
Janet did everything she could but she could not get rid of him at all.She had seen with her own eyes
just how strong Ethan was a long time ago.
The cab driver drove around the city for a long time.
Finally, he stammered to the couple in the backseat, "Where are we headed?"
"Seaview Bay."
"The White Alley."
The two of them spoke at the very same time.
They each told the driver their home address.
The cab driver was stunned and asked, "So where on earth are we headed?"
Janet stared at Ethan and said, "Now that we are heading to different places, you should get out of the
car now."
Seeing her so unmoved like this, it was hard for Ethan not to burst out laughing.He was left with no
other choice but to compromise.
"Fine, we’re going to the White Alley now."
As soon as the taxi reached the White family’s house, Janet got out of the car while Ethan followed
closely behind with his coat.
After walking into the house, Janet headed straight to her own room.
When Johanna saw Janet walk in with a very angry look again, she immediately put down her tea cup
and quickly got up to ask, "Who on earth made you so angry? You were happy when you left the house
this morning."
Without saying a word to her mother, Janet snorted at Ethan behind her, walked past Johanna, went
into her room, and closed the door.
Johanna looked at Ethan who was standing in the doorway.So, it was Ethan again?
"Why did you guys fight again?" Johanna asked in an anxious voice.
Ethan nearly bumped into the door when Janet shut it behind her.He touched his nose with a finger
without saying a word.
Johanna shook her head and headed back to the sofa to watch the rest of her TV show.
Coincidentally, Beal just came out of the kitchen after having prepared the fruit platter.He placed the
plate in front of Johanna.
After that, he went back to ask Ethan, "Did you somehow manage to piss Janet off again?"
Beal adjusted his glasses and turned to look at Ethan.
Suddenly, he had the feeling that Ethan was a bit like him when he was young.
The look on Ethan’s face was exactly the same as his whenever he had pissed Johanna off.It really
seemed like Ethan and he were indeed sharing the same fate.
