"Ethan, you must have misunderstood things here. I scolded my daughter in a fit of anger. It doesn't mean anything." Fiona flashed a sweet smile, her eyes still fixed on the expensive gifts.
"I don't want to hear any explanation." Ethan looked at them indifferently. He was in no mood to listen to their stupid justification.
Seeing that, Sean ran over, packed everything, and took the bags away.
Ethan didn't say anything more. He held Janet's hand and left the Lind family's villa.
Fiona and Jocelyn could do nothing but watch as the couple left them in the dust.
Ethan finally let go of Janet's hand when they walked outside. His face softened as he looked at her. "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to see your parents?"
Janet wanted to ask her adoptive parents for money, so she couldn't take Ethan with her. "I didn't plan on visiting them in the first place," she lied. "I happened to take this route, so I decided to drop by. Did you hear all our conversation?"
"I only heard your mother say she didn't have a daughter like you. Did she say anything else?" Ethan turned to look at her.
Janet shook her head. She was just afraid that Ethan would find out about the deal and ruin all her plans.
However, Janet was surprised at how he blindly supported her. She felt Ethan was a reckless man. "How could you stand up for me after hearing just one sentence? What if it was my fault? The Lind family members are not to be trifled with." Ethan looked at Janet. Seeing her fluttering eyelashes, he swallowed and said, "I didn't care about it."
Janet chuckled.
The Lind family members always humiliated her every time she visited them. However, today, Fiona's and Jocelyn's frustration made her happy. She was pleased to see their disappointment.
