Chapter 58
“I don’t understand why, if David is your son, what about Rose? I’m sure Rose is David’s mother, you should be responsible for the two of them.”
Nina felt uncomfortable. After all, Ethan is a selfish person. Up until now, nothing has changed compared to 5 years ago.
While 5 years ago he asked for a divorce from her and said he loved Rose, the moment Nina learned that Rose was pregnant with Ethan’s son, Nina agreed to leave everything behind and leave their lives. Surname, but what now? 5 years later Ethan insisted that the person he loved was Natalie. That’s funny.
“I think you should explain this to me clearly. After all, I am your legal wife now, right?” Nina became more serious than
ever.
“You should remember that we are only doing a fake marriage, there is a contract between us, I think you should follow the rules, neither of us can interfere in the other’s private life, you understand I mean?”
Ethan knows that these words can hurt Nina, and he is also hurting everyone around him including David, it is disadvantageous to have a bad and selfish father like him.
Nina choked and couldn’t refute, that’s right, Ethan was right, the two of them were just in a contract marriage, what was she hoping for? What are you waiting for?
“Okay, do as you say, then what do you want to talk about with me here?”
Nina looked at Ethan suspiciously, it wouldn’t be a coincidence that Ethan would mention David to her.
“I want a way to contact Darius, I know you know him… so…”
Ethan hesitated, the feeling of having to rely on others made him uncomfortable and speechless.
“So? How do you know I know Darius?” Nina was a bit surprised when Ethan mentioned Darius. The two of them had only met once at the party the day before and didn’t even seem to have a good impression of each other, but now Ethan was proactively looking for Darius.
“Didn’t he act very close to you at the party?” Ethan’s voice was somewhat angry, feeling like he was jealous.
“That’s right, I’m very close to Darius, so what?” Nina was not afraid to raise her eyes and challenge Ethan. She also felt the sour vinegar smell of jealousy emanating from Ethan, so she intentionally teased him.
“Oh! Then I found the right person.” Ethan growled, not giving up, rolling his eyes around Nina’s beautiful but arrogant face.
Nina was looked at by Ethan until her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She avoided his eyes but didn’t
more.
say anything
Ethan’s cold face had relaxed a bit, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, unable to hide his smugness. Ethan easily guessed Nina’s simple thoughts in her eyes.
“Okay, let’s talk about your main problem, what do you want to see Darius for?” Nina couldn’t bear it anymore, she took a step back to keep her distance from Ethan.
Ethan lifted his eyelids and said calmly, “There’s something.”
Nina wanted to punch his arrogant face, “If you’re not serious then I’m leaving.”
Ethan saw that he was going a bit too far and immediately changed his attitude, “I’m very serious, I have something to tell
him.”

Nina blinked, looking as if she didn’t understand, waiting for his next words.
“It’s about David.”
Nina was stunned, feeling her temples twitching, her nerves were tense, was he talking about his child with her?
Nina took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and replied, “The boy is sick, right?”
Hearing her words, Ethan raised his eyebrows.
Nina slowly took out her phone, and turned around with her back to Ethan, trying to make herself look like she had no flaws. She was afraid she would tremble with anger.
After all, David is still a child, the people she should hate are Ethan and Rose, David is completely not at fault, on the contrary, Nina even feels a little heartbroken for him.

“Can you say clearer? About the boy’s condition.” Nina wanted to know how serious his illness was so Ethan had to personally ask for help from Darius, a person he had no sympathy for.
“David… he has a congenital heart defect…”
“What? Is it that serious?” Nina was stunned, too surprised by the information she had just received.
“I need to meet Darius face–to–face to discuss this matter. I will find a way to cure David by all means.”
Nina realized the love that Ethan had for David from the corner of his eyes, “Okay, so tonight I will meet Darius, you can come with me there.”
Ethan nodded slightly and turned around to look up at the sky, the weather was much warmer today, a few rays of winter sunlight shone down, melting the snow covering the trees.
Looking down from above, it feels like you are standing on a tree top receiving all the glory but with just a little carelessness you can fall at any time. Nina felt like she was currently standing at the top of a tree, with no way to get down to the ground she could only adapt to those bright lights. Nina glanced secretly at Ethan’s expression, Right now, the rays of sunlight are shining down, melting away layers of snow in her heart.
At this moment, Ethan’s phone suddenly rang, and the silent atmosphere was broken, Ethan took the phone out of his pocket, and his expression returned to its original cold and arrogant look, his voice was deep and calm. a bit hoarse.
“Mr. Wilson! Miss Rose is down in the hall, she wants to see you, I can’t stop her.”
The silence around allowed Nina to hear the assistant’s awkward announcement to Ethan.
At the same time, Rose rushed straight into the design department’s office with enthusiasm. She glanced around the office, looking arrogant and contemptuous of everyone.
Rose crossed her arms across her chest, and tilted her chin toward the employee working diligently in the position closest to her, “Where’s Ethan?” I want to meet him.”
Everyone was a bit stunned by Rose’s calling. No one here had ever dared to call General Manager Wilson’s name directly like that.
Feeling annoyed, Lynne approached Rose with a challenging look, “What’s going on?” Who are you?”
Rose glanced at Lynne with disdain, not bothering to answer her question.
“I know Ethan is here, call him out quickly.” Her sour voice and arrogance made everyone unsympathetic, everyone ignored her and continued with her work.

Rose felt even more angry when she felt unwelcome. Her eyes fell on Lynne, the only person paying attention to her right now, but unexpectedly, Lynne said something that made Rose choke.
“Assistant! What is this? Can any cat or dog come in here?”
Rose immediately seemed to go crazy, and slapped Lynne hard in the face, angrily shouting at her, “What did you say? Do you know who I am?”
The two of them were 9 or 10, and neither of them would give up, causing chaos in the whole office.
“Do you think anyone can meet the general manager? Where’s the assistant? What are you still standing there for? Quickly drag her out.”
“It’s too noisy.”
A cold voice that could make the listener immediately freeze spoke from behind the door. Ethan growled and glanced angrily at Rose and Lynne who were causing chaos in the office.
Rose turned around, saw Ethan immediately become petulant, pretended to be weak, and ran over to take Ethan’s hand, but less than a few seconds later, her eyes stopped on Nina and she was a bit stunned, her legs suddenly became stiff and stopped.
Lynne also did not stand still but immediately walked towards Ethan, “General Manager, she insisted on seeing you, and even rushed to hit me… she… she…” Lynne didn’t finish her sentence before she burst into tears. for a long time, looking up with teary eyes, looking for Ethan’s mercy, but unfortunately, he didn’t even glance at her.
Nina saw that the situation was not good and immediately stood up, she called Sofia.
“Sofia, you take Rose to our reception room, the general manager and I will talk to her, and Lynne, you also go work.”
back to
Sofia immediately stood up, and bowed her head to invite Rose to leave. Lynne also knew what to do and stopped arguing, but her eyes were still filled with anger as she followed Rose until she disappeared behind the door.
Nina looked at Ethan and sighed quietly, not knowing what was good about him other than his appearance which was always as cold as ice, yet the girls around him always seemed to lose their minds because of him. I am.
Rose obediently sat down on the sofa. Sofia brought a cup of cappuccino and placed it in front of Rose. Then she bowed and walked out. She saw Nina and Ethan entering the living room. Sofia looked at Nina worriedly. nudged Nina’s elbow as the two passed each other, signaling Nina to be careful with the woman in there. Nina could only laugh, gently reassure Sofia, and then walk inside with Ethan.
Rose was a little scared because of Nina’s appearance here. The thing she was most worried about had finally happened, but she quickly regained her composure and sat up straight, looking at Nina with challenging eyes.
“What are you doing here?”
Ethan slowly sat down, looking bored at Rose, this time not knowing what trick she wanted to play.
Nina didn’t know if she should stay or not. She also understood why she followed the two of them here. Would she have time to run away now? Thinking about it, Nina immediately spoke up, “You two talk naturally, I’ll go out first.”
Nina turned around and before she could reach the door, she was stopped by Ethan’s powerful and slightly threatening voice, “Don’t go anywhere, come here.”
Nina cried silently in her heart, in the end, what crime did she commit to be subjected to such a heavy, awkward atmosphere? She felt like she was the third person to destroy their small family, even though Although in law, Nina is Ethan’s official wife.
