Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 66 Are You Crazy?

So, when Ethan chucked the phone, he also accidentally answered the call. Arthur, on the other end, never hung up. So, yeah, Arthur heard everything. Every. Single. Thing.

Ethan got off me, plopped down on my lap, and gave me this lazy, smug look while speaking on the phone, "I'm with my wife, so what? Got a problem? Too bad, you can't do squat." After the call ended, I reached for the phone, but Ethan tossed it aside and jumped on me again.

Realizing Arthur heard all that noise, I yelled, embarrassed and pissed, "Ethan!"

"Yeah, I'm here." Ethan touched my cheek, looking at my freaked-out face.

I shoved him, and he slid back into the driver's seat. I sat up, trying to fix my messy clothes.

One of his hands was tangled in my hair, playing with it, while the other, wrapped in a bandage, rested on the steering wheel.

"Emily, stop making a scene. Can we just get along?" His tone suddenly got all serious.

I looked at him, dead serious. "I'm not making a scene."

A few seconds of eye contact, maybe my stare was too intense, made Ethan's smile fade.

In a staring contest with him, I'd totally lose. I turned my face away, stubbornly looking elsewhere.

"I said, everyone has their past. You have yours, I have mine. Why let the past mess with the present?" Ethan said softly.

When Ethan said this, I remembered that I didn't know if his past was boring or wild, happy or painful. I thought we could both forget the past, live in the now, and look forward to the future together.

But I was wrong. Not only did he not forget his past, but he also had this revenge thing going on. Now, thinking back to every moment with him, it felt like it was all planned.

Plus, Victor looked down on me so much. I couldn't shamelessly stay with Ethan.

Ethan reached out to cup my face, but I shook his hand off and said, "It's impossible between us."

"What did my dad say to you?" His voice suddenly got deeper.

I wouldn't tell him how Victor insulted me that day. Their father-son relationship was already bad; I didn't want to make it worse.

I held my phone tightly and said, "Nothing, I just feel we're not right for each other. After all, we've been together for so long, we know each other well enough. We both know if we're right or not." Ethan suddenly asked, "Are you really gonna get back with Arthur?"

I was stunned, then smiled and went along with it, "Of course, isn't it said that first loves are unforgettable? Don't you get that?"
