A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Everyone knew who Bill was referring to.

It could be none other than Estelle.

His words angered Ethan. The casual expression on his face darkened and his eyes became chillingly cold. He exclaimed in response, “How dare you!“

Bill was a sore loser and he knew he wasn't going to win again. So when he finally won a round, he made sure to rub it in. With a boastful smile, he said, “Ethan, you should know not to mess with me.“

Ethan clenched his fists in anger. That woman was his whole world and he wasn't going to let anyone hurt her.

If Bill dared to even mess with her, Ethan wouldn't hesitate to cut ties with him.

“Ethan, I'll give you some more time to think about it. Come to me when you've finally made up your mind,“ Bill said while chuckling. From the very start, he knew Ethan wouldn't put up a fight.

However, Ethan wasn't going to simply let Bill off the hook if Estelle was involved. With a threatening tone, he replied, “Bill, it seems that you don't quite understand what kind of man I am. Sure, I'm passive, but if you lay even a single finger on the woman I love, I'll make sure you regret it.“

When he was done talking, Ethan stood up and strode out of the room. He didn't even wait to see how Bill would react.

Ethan's words stunned Bill, leaving him with a dumbfounded look on his face. He was completely infuriated to the point that he couldn't stop clenching his fists. He gritted his teeth together and let out threats of his own. “Ethan, just wait and see! I'll come for you one of these days!“

A week passed by in the blink of an eye.

It was another wonderful, sunny day for Estelle. She was in her apartment and she had just finished handing in the design draft for Love and Dream. Full of contentment, she came out of the study room and massaged her stiff shoulders.

She was excited for tomorrow since it was a weekend. It was finally her time to have a good rest since there was no more work to be done.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon when Estelle finished. She went to her room and changed into some cozier clothes before eating lunch.

While changing, Estelle thought about what to eat and do in the afternoon. When she was all done, she casually walked over the kitchen.

On the way over there, she passed by Ethan, who was sitting on the sofa. His head was tilted down, focused on peeling an apple. He was wearing all black, which made him look taller than usual. Additionally, his clothes made him seem unapproachable, or even a little intimidating. Despite that, his movements were an unexpected contrast to his frigid presence. Watching his hands gave Estelle an unusual sense of warmth and joy.
