The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 188

Ethan woke up from a long nap and smiled when he saw Rayna seated beside him, busy with her phone.

"You're back," he said, and she looked at him.

"You're awake. I was almost beginning to wonder if you were pretending to be unconscious again," she said, and he smiled.

"I guess Melvin and the others left already?" He asked, and she nodded.

"Yeah. Ella was getting cranky, and Sarah also needed to rest," she explained.

"I understand. What about you? How do you feel now? Your stomach?" He asked, and she glared at him, her cheeks flushing a little at the embarrassing question. "I told you I was fine""" she said, and he smiled.

"Okay. Seeing as you're not sweating so much anymore, I guess your stomach isn't under any pressure," he said, and she scowled.

"It seems you're pretty determined to annoy me and make things awkward," she observed, and he chuckled.

"No. I just want to make things normal. Golden Sun tells me everything, remember?" he said softly.

"Well, I'm Rayna, not Golden Sun," she said, and he shook his head.

"Can't you forgive me and put it behind you? I mean, I could have died from this accident, right? No, don't say anything smart, just listen," he said before she could speak. "I'm just saying life is short. I know I messed up. Everyone says I'm unforgiving, and maybe that's true..."

"Maybe? Not, maybe. You're very unforgiving. Yes, I was wrong to have accused you falsely and say all that I said at the club. But I apologized, she said, and Ethan sighed. "Yes, you did. I'm just very sensitive when it comes to the issue of sexual harassment," he said, and she sighed.

"Melvin told me. I'm sorry," Rayna said, and he nodded slowly.

"I've forgiven you. So, will you forgive me too?" He asked, and she shook her head.

"No. Not so easily..."
