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. He wore a bathrobe that hung precariously from his frame, and the loosely knotted sash that seemed like it would come apart any moment held the bathrobe together, but only barely, sloppily covering his waist. Droplets of water slowly rolled down his half–exposed chest, continuing down his body until they disappeared at…

Alice stood frozen in place, her eyes trained on Ethan, the shock causing her to forget to react all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, Ethan seemed to be unaware of what was wrong with his attire, and he proceeded to walk toward her just like that until he came to a stop directly in front of her. At this distance, she could clearly count every single droplet of water on his body, as well as…..

Alice blinked once, then twice. Was this something she should be seeing? In fact, was this even the Ethan that she knew? So, this was how he acted in private. Did she show up at the wrong time? However, Ethan was the one who had texted her to come over. Or, perhaps he didn’t expect her to show up so soon. After all, she arrived here at lightning speed; as soon as she heard that it had to do with Pierce, she immediately headed to his room without wasting any time.

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

As Ethan looked at the clearly distracted Alice, his lips curled upward slowly, and he asked deliberately, “What are you spacing out for?”

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

She quietly let out a breath, trying her best to avert her gaze from Ethan’s body as she got straight to the point. “Mr. Knight, did you ask me to come over to talk about hiring a doctor for my brother?”

“Yeah,” Ethan replied softly. He remained standing in front of her without moving, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of slightly pulling his bathrobe shut.
