Chapter 113 Was Ethan Jealous?

Ethan had always been the picture of composure, perhaps due to his upbringing. At the age of five, he was already living independently with Mr. Douglas Sr.

While other kids went through rebellious phases and impulsive adolescence, Ethan was mature beyond his years.

He approached everything methodically, never acting on impulse. Before undertaking any task, he would meticulously consider whether it was worth his effort.

Even in kindergarten, when teachers gave out small pets to exemplary students to take home, Ethan would decline, aware that taking care of a pet meant being responsible for its well-being. He understood the heartache of a pet's brief lifespan and decided it was better not to get attached.

Ethan was someone who knew when to cut his losses.

Thus, emotions and women had become mere concepts to him at an early age. He was excessively rational. To him, there were no hormonal clashes, no room for love.

He had never imagined he would one day act irrationally, desiring to fight for a woman's right to her child's custody.

A decision with no apparent benefits.

"Think this through," Ethan told Jasmine, his gaze steady.

Once he made a decision, he wouldn't waver.

Winning or losing didn't concern him, nor did crossing the Patrick family or tarnishing his reputation.

Even if it brought him trouble, Ethan's capabilities allowed him to look beyond such

concerns.

"Staying with the Patrick family does seem to offer more advantages than being with me," Jasmine reluctantly released her grasp, forcing a resigned smile.

After all, she couldn't afford to owe Ethan too much.

"Mr. Douglas... I'll go up myself later. You don't need to follow. "After all, it's a family matter," Jasmine murmured.

Ethan's frown deepened, but he remained silent.

To his surprise, he felt a twinge of anger at her mention of "family matter."
