Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 198 Ethan Plans to Propose to Jasmine

At the wedding, Ethan took Jasmine as his date, drawing attention from the business

community.

There was no chance that this news wouldn't reach Howard's ears.

After the wedding, Howard's calls flooded Ethan's phone incessantly.

Jasmine, holding Ethan's phone, felt uneasy. "Mr. Ethan..."

"Don't answer," Ethan instructed, his brow furrowed.

Jasmine felt a sense of dread but complied, ignoring the persistent ringing.

Until they returned to the hotel, she remained somewhat distracted.

Provoking Howard further was a risky move; Jasmine understood the importance of keeping a low profile and temporarily aligning with either the Brown or Cunningham families. Ethan had to navigate this carefully, gradually asserting control.

Jasmine had faith in Ethan's abilities. Within three years, Stellar Enterprises would undoubtedly be under his firm grasp.

However, Ethan's decision to clash with Howard at this juncture seemed ill-advised. Ultimately, it was Ethan's call, and Jasmine could do little more than trust his judgment. "What would you like for dinner?" Ethan asked gently.

"I..." Jasmine was preoccupied, gazing up at Ethan. "Anything... I'm not picky."

"Do you want me to cook for you?" Ethan embraced Jasmine, ready to whip up a meal in the kitchen.

Thankfully, the resort hotel room boasted a well-equipped kitchen.

Jasmine looked at Ethan in surprise. "Mr. Ethan, you're not going to set fire to the hotel kitchen, are you? It would be expensive, and we couldn't afford..."

Her concerns about potential damages dissipated as she remembered Ethan's financial standing.

Ethan chuckled resignedly. "Didn't I make sandwiches for you the other day?"

"Sandwiches don't require cooking," Jasmine pointed out, moving toward the kitchen to inspect the ingredients the hotel butler had provided.

Ethan seemed poised to prepare steaks.

"Are you sure about this?" Jasmine inquired, seeking confirmation.
