Chapter 168 Ethan’s Seduction (2)

Alice’s attention was not on his room’s decor, but rather on the fact that Ethan was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was wondering where he had gone, the bathroom door opened, and Ethan walked out.

Ethan might have just finished taking a shower as his body was still dripping with water.

At that moment, Alice was a little out of it, so she completely forgot about what Lydia had told her two days ago.

Alice blinked rapidly. Wasn’t it normal for her to space out in a situation like this? Wasn’t it?
