Sky-High Pampering Plan Of Her Destined Husband

Chapter 199

Janet sprang up from the bed and looked at Ethan in shock. "How come you know the senior executive of the Larson Group?"

"She was my classmate from high school," Ethan said nonchalantly, resting his head on Janet's arm.

"High school classmates? So, you guys have known each other for a long time. Which school did you go to?"

Janet asked, examining his face. The small table lamp was the only source of light in the room. The warm yellow light seemed to soften Ethan's features.

"Seacisco High." Ethan shrugged noncommittally. Considering his current identity, he couldn't say anything more.

"My teachers have once mentioned that it is one of the best schools in the city." Janet lowered her head.

Only children from wealthy and influential families studied there. They all had extraordinary IQs and excelled in their studies. Ordinary people couldn't compete with them. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Janet fell silent. A strange feeling settled in her heart.

Ethan and Charis had known each other since high school and had been in touch ever since. She sensed they shared a good relationship.

Besides, the woman was now a senior executive in Larson Group, which was a testimony of her talent.

She probably had been excellent in all aspects since high school.

Janet couldn't help but wonder if Ethan had a crush on her.

"What are you thinking?" Ethan frowned as Janet seemed distracted.

Janet picked up her nightgown from the floor, put it on, and lay back on the bed. "Why didn't you ever mention her before?"

"She's not important to me, so I didn't feel the need to tell you about her." Ethan pinched her cheek and looked into her eyes. "I'm not really close to her."

Janet turned her head.

She didn't know if they were mere acquaintances or not.

However, since Ethan said so, Janet chose to believe him.

She rested on the bed and covered her face with the blanket.

A range of emotions consumed Janet. She couldn't shake off the unease in her heart. She felt Ethan had too many secrets, and for some reason, he didn't want to share them with her. The man had always been an enigma. She didn't know much about him, and it looked like he didn't want her to know more about him either. He only wanted her to see the side of him that he chose to reveal to her.

It looked like Ethan had different personas and led different lives. Janet couldn't see through him and find what lay beneath the exterior he revealed to the world.

Janet's heart sank; she felt like an outcast all over again.

She wasn't in the mood to get intimate with someone who wasn't even willing to reveal his true self to her. "Well, it's getting late. I'm going to sleep," she mumbled, with her back to him.

Although Janet said so, she was wide awake. The countless thoughts swarming in her mind disturbed her peace. She pursed her lips and stole a glance at him.

She secretly hoped that Ethan would tell her more.

However, he didn't utter a word. She only heard him sigh and lie beside her.

Janet's racing heart calmed down and sank to her stomach as she listened to the ticking of the clock.

Just then, Ethan moved behind her.

His chest pressed against her back as he hugged her from behind.
