Autumn was just around the corner. The wind was blowing outside, making the clothes on the balcony sway violently.
Janet pursed her lips and looked away.
"Get up first. Then we'll talk, I promise." She tried pushing him away. Her nose almost brushed against his.
"No. You will run away." Ethan held her tighter and looked into her eyes. "You can't leave without giving me an answer tonight."
Janet pinched his arm.
Her anger had almost subsided.
She could tell that Ethan had no experience in love, but he was willing to take an effort and change himself for her. It meant he truly cared about her.
However, Janet didn't want to forgive him easily. She rolled her eyes and looked away. "Forget it. I will spare you this time. Don't make such a stupid mistake again. It cost us both money and time. Now, let go of me. There is still hot water running in the bathroom. I need to shower."
Ethan's gaze slowly drifted to Janet. He nodded and reluctantly let go of her.
However, his heart sank as soon as she stepped away from him. It felt as if something was missing.
Ethan immediately grabbed Janet's hand and pulled her back.
"Ah! What are you doing? We have arrived at an agreement, haven't we?" Janet squealed as she lost her balance and slumped in his arms.
Ethan pursed his lips as he raked his eyes across her face. The soft light seemed to outline his handsome features. He looked like a hunter waiting to catch his prey.
