Chapter 5

“Why are you wet? A-and what is this, w-why is your arm have a scar and a-a bl00d coming out?”

I suddenly looked at Ethan. His face is worried while holding my arm. He looked at my arm that was bleeding, I focused for a few seconds on Ethan’s face and.. realized that.. Daddy Xavier was looking at us.

He was sitting on the couch while holding a magazine, but he wasn’t reading it, he was just looking at us. He looked so serious while looking at me, and at us. So, I was confused. His hands were shaking while holding the magazine and he quickly put down or drank a glass of raw wine.

‘Is Daddy Xavier angry because of what I did? Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Maybe he’ll kick me out of the mansion! I really should apologize to him later..’ My imagination was so vivid! Hayst.. maybe my suspicion was right. Where will I live then?

“Are you okay?” I came back to my senses when Ethan suddenly asked.. “Tell me. Are you okay, Aihne?” He asked me again..

“Ah, p-po-- ah o-oo, I’m okay..” I couldn’t speak properly because I was thinking about what would happen next in my life. I don’t know if he’ll kick me out, k*ll me, or hurt me. I do not know! My whole body was trembling with fear.

“Are you sure?”-Ethan

“Y-yes..” I replied

“Come on, let’s sit on the couch so I can treat your wound.” He said and made me sit on the couch where Daddy Xavier was sitting on the other couch..

Ethan slowly took my arm, his hand was so light.. he’s such a gentleman, THE MOST GENTLEMAN I’VE EVER MET!

I feel his warm soft hand on my arm.. I feel so relieved when he does that.. I love his physical touch.. the way he touches me gently.. I love his gentle actions towards me.

I just looked at him while he was treating my arm.. I hope I will meet the same person as Ethan, I hope my soulmate is just like Ethan.. A gentleman, caring, loving, neat, knows how to treat girls right. If I was older, I want my husband to be the same as Ethan. Just like Him..

“A-ouch..” I winced because of the strong acid of the alcohol.. it stung my arm a little bit.

“S-sorry, you okay?” He said sorry and asked, I said ‘Yes, I’m okay.’

“Oh, what happened to you, my dear?” Auntie asked me as she approached us..

“Yeah, that’s what I was going to ask, Aihne?” Ethan commented.

“Uhm.. I tripped by accident while I was getting water because I was watering the plants.. A-and.. That’s it, ehe!” I lied, I didn’t want to tell the truth. Besides, it was my fault, it was my fault that this happened to me. I’m so clumsy, and careless. I don’t look where I’m going..

“Next time be extra careful, and don’t get water and water the plants anymore, Auntie can handle that.” Ethan scolded me. “Yes, my dear!” Auntie Joanna added.

I nodded and smiled. “Next time, po..”

“There you go..” Ethan said while tying my arm with a napkin..

“Thank you, Kuya Ethan, and you too, Auntie!” I thanked them, and because of my great gratitude, I hugged Ethan.. I saw surprise on his face.. and then he hugged me back.

While we were hugging, there was a sudden thud, so I let go of the hug, and looked in the direction where Daddy Xavier was sitting and saw his hand on the table. While he was looking at us both angrily, as if he was going to k*ll us both the way he was staring. I felt like a statue, unable to move. The air became chilling.

He immediately drank a glass of wine and then walked out.

“What happened, Auntie?” I asked Auntie, but Auntie just shook her head, she didn’t know either..

“Oh, you should eat breakfast. Come on!”
