The bar looked dim except for the occasional neon lights that flashed from time to time. The loud music
vibrated through the floor.
Seeing Ethan walking into the bar, Garrett quickly drove away the beautiful women clinging to him and
straightened his clothes.
After hearing why Ethan was here today, Garrett burst out laughing. “I can’t believe you’d come to me
one day for such a thing.”
Ethan slowly picked up the glass. The dim lights softened his features, making him look more
handsome. He leaned against the sofa, stretching out his long legs. “Mind your tongue. Unless you
don’t want to have weekends this month.”
Garrett cleared his throat and swallowed the rest of his words.
He picked a glass of wine and sat beside Ethan. “Do you want me to be single all my life? My
eighteenth girlfriend is waiting for me to take her on a date this weekend.”
“Didn’t you say that your seventeenth girlfriend was pregnant? Don’t you want to get married?” Ethan
frowned and took a sip of the wine.
“How could I marry a woman pregnant with another man’s child?” Garrett sneered but quickly
rearranged his expression and smiled at Ethan. “Coaxing women is easy,” he said, scratching his chin.
“If you knowingly or unknowingly piss her off, just apologize to her. Hug her and say something sweet.
Her anger will quickly subside.”
Ethan rolled his eyes impatiently. “What’s the matter with you? If I knew what to say, I wouldn’t be
asking you for help.”
“Are you serious?” Garrett downed the remaining contents of his drink and pushed his glass up. After a
moment’s thought, he asked, “Do you know what she likes? Buy her something she likes: branded
bags, jewelry, clothes. Buy a lot of the most expensive things she likes, and just shower her with gifts. I
promise she will calm down the next day.”
Ethan’s face was hidden in the dark; only his high nose was revealed. His fingertips drew circles on the
rim of the glass. “She likes those things, but that’s only because she can sell them for money. I’d rather
give her the money directly.”
“Hmm… Your wife is quite interesting,” Garrett said, smiling.
Ethan glared at him. Garrett immediately waved his hand and explained, “I didn’t mean that. Don’t get
me wrong. Since she likes money, it will be easier to solve the problem. You’re a wealthy man, after
all.”
Ethan stood up and patted Garrett’s shoulder. His eyes darkened. “That’s enough for today. Don’t drink
too much. I’ll give your idea a try.”
Janet didn’t sleep well last night.
She looked listless when she woke up in the morning.
As soon as she walked out of her room, she saw Ethan standing at the door. He slid a bank card into
her bag and said, “This is my payment card. You can use it as you like.”
Janet looked at him. Then, she took the card from her bag and placed it on the table. “No, thanks. You
keep the card for yourself. We’re just a nominal couple that doesn’t get along well with each other. How
can I use your money?”
Judging from her tone, it was obvious that her anger hadn’t subsided one bit.
Ethan’s towering frame blocked her path. Ethan picked up the card from the table and forcefully
pressed it on Janet’s palm. “Take it,” he said, closing her fingers against it.
Janet was startled. “Why are you standing here, blocking my way? Won’t you let me go if I don’t take
it?”
Looking at her cold face, Ethan felt she was distant and aloof. He didn’t know what to do.
“I didn’t mean that.” He frowned.
“Such being the case, get out of my way. Or I will be late for work.” Janet threw the card back to the
table, pushed him away with her elbow, and walked out, closing the door behind her.
His face darkened as he slumped on the sofa. Pleasing a woman didn’t seem as simple as Garrett had
claimed it to be. Therefore, he called the man right away.
“She refused my money. Think of another solution for me.”
