"It's no big deal. My parents owe me a lot of money. After I fell out with them, they refused to pay me back. It's a family matter. I can handle it. There's no need for you to get involved." Janet's tone was relaxed even though she deliberately omitted the most important part.
Ethan glanced at her from the corner of his eye and sighed.
It was true that he didn't know that much about the Lind family, but since Janet was being stubborn about it, he respected her decision. "Fine. But if you need any help, just tell me."
Janet nodded obediently and lowered her gaze. "Okay," she said softly.
Ethan pinched her cheek and warned in a low voice, "And from now on, you have to tell others that you're married."
"Okay, okay, okay. Do you want me to wear a sign with the word 'married' on it?" Janet raised her head and glared at him, pouting like a spoiled child.
"It's for your own good. It's obvious that Christopher guy had ulterior motives. Trust me. His intentions were written all over his face." As he spoke, Ethan pulled Janet closer to him.
"What? In that case, why couldn't I see it? Christ has helped me before. Don't be so quick to judge him." Janet rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Are you kidding me? It's all over his face that he wants to fuck you," Ethan snorted, his eyes darkening dangerously.
How could he say that?
Janet looked at him indignantly. Ethan was always such a jerk.
"Can you, for once, act like a normal guy? Not everyone thinks like you."
"True. I guess he's different from me. I'm legal to do you, he isn't." Ethan raised his eyebrows in a relaxed way.
At a loss, Janet pushed him away and scurried on ahead, her ears burning red.
Even after they got home, Janet still gave Ethan the cold shoulder.
