Chapter 35 Because You Are My Wife

When Ethan said that, I clammed up, which made him chuckle.

"Why me? You have plenty of options," I asked, looking him in the eye, wanting the truth.

Ethan's playful look vanished. "You want the truth?"

I nodded.

"Because you're simple," he said.

"Simple?" I echoed.

Ethan sat on the bed's edge, lifting his head slightly. "Yeah, you're straightforward, unlike other women with all their complicated thoughts. Being with you is relaxing. I married you for who you are, nothing else." He spoke slowly and calmly, but I felt a twinge of disappointment.

Few people could analyze feelings so clearly. Overly rational folks in relationships could be scary.

I didn't expect that after crawling out of a messy marriage, I'd jump back in the next day.

Not because Ethan slept with me, but because of his grandfather's wish, his honest view of love, and because I was genuinely moved by him, thinking we could grow from liking to loving each other.

I didn't expect to run into Arthur, my ex-husband, at City Hall the day after our divorce. But sometimes, life was just that coincidental.

Ethan's car had just pulled up, and before I got out, I saw them.

Vivian was stepping out of the car in front, wearing a top with a plunging neckline, practically spilling out as she walked. She seemed happy, clinging to Arthur's arm. Looked like he had already won her over. "Emily, I'm the one beside you now. Be confident," Ethan's steady voice broke in.

I turned to look at Ethan, who was quietly watching me. He must have showered this morning; his hair was still a bit damp.

Today, Ethan was dressed sharply, his white shirt perfectly ironed, cuffs rolled up slightly, showing off a fancy watch. And his face was captivating from any angle.
