Chapter 151 Ethan Gives Justin a Name

Jasmine nervously covers Justin's mouth and whispers an apology. "Mr. Ethan... I'm sorry, he's just a kid, he's just..."

He was just overly eager to have a complete family.

"Yes." Ethan's answer is firm.

Henry was taken aback by the response.

Angrier than ever, he glared at Ethan. "Mr. Ethan, you're lying to a child."

"There's no need to explain whether it's a lie or not," Ethan says, opening the car door for Jasmine and the child to get in.

Jasmine was also stunned by Ethan.

He said yes.

However, she knew she shouldn't overthink it; they were technically married partners.

So, Ethan isn't lying, he really did get a marriage certificate with her.

Justin's gaze burns into Ethan, eyes reddening with excitement. "Dad, you'll marry Mom and protect her, right?"

Ethan nodded and ruffled Justin's hair.

Justin hugged Jasmine and sobbed, "Mom, Dad said he will marry you..."

Jasmine's body feels numb and stiff as she comforted Justin and sat in the car, closing the door.

The adult world was really complicated.

Some things weren't as simple as kids think. Being married didn't necessarily meant being a family.

...

"Ethan, what game are you playing? You don't love Jasmine, there's no emotions involved, why are you competing with me?" Henry asks in a low, frustrated voice. "Who says there's no emotions involved?" Ethan closed the car door and looked at Henry calmly. "I've known Jasmine for a while. Even though we've only started being close recently, she deserves to be cherished, not shirked like you."

Henry clenches his teeth.

Ethan was playing his part well.

"Ethan, we're both men, there's no need for these games," Henry says, massaging his forehead. "You haven't even dealt with your own crisis, and now you're meddling in my son's business. Do you think Jasmine is safe with you? Do you think you can protect Justin?"

"Let's find out," Ethan says, his voice deep.

"Ethan, if anything happens to Justin while he's with you, I'll take him away immediately," Henry warned Ethan.

"The Douglas family situation is a thorny one, but as it stands... If the Browns don't come clean and admit Zelda's crime against Jasmine, and get her out of San Francisco, I'm not going to let it go easily. Once the Brown family's reputation is tarnished, the Patricks will inevitably be dragged down. If I were you, I'd know what to do to avoid risks and personal losses," Ethan said calmly, opened the car door, and got in. The driver pulled away, leaving Henry alone at the entrance of the hospital.
