Chapter 164 You Don’t Knock, I Don’t Forget
<b>She </b><b>was </b><b>an </b>adult now–what if she’d been changing?
<b>Abraham </b><b>ced </b>the remedy on the bedside table, sat down, and pulled the nket off her head.
“What haven’t I seen, hm?<b>” </b>
Ste’s brain went boom at that, her entire body flushing hot.
She snatched the nket back and tried to hide.
But Abraham was faster–he pulled her into hisp. “Be good. Drink the remedy before sleeping.”
The neckline of her robe dipped a little, <b>and </b>in that moment, Abraham got a very clear view of <b>just </b>how well she’d developed.
He cleared his throat and pulled the nket tightly around her before handing her the cup. “Drink. Now.”
Ste wriggled. “I can <b>drink </b>it myself.”
“Behave.”
One hand pressed against her waist–his gentle tone carried a firmmand.
Abraham knew she hated the taste of the remedy. If she got away from him now, she’d make up a dozen excuses not to drink
Ste sniffed the bowl. “Ugh… Can I let it cool a little?”
<b>“</b>Want me to
to feed you?”
Ste blinked, Feed?What did he mean by that?
She nced up at <b>Abraham </b>cautiously.
And met his serious, focused gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Meanwhile, Ethan <b>was </b>going <b>insane</b>.
The moment he saw that man’s car go through the gates, every event from the past few weeks smashed together in his head.
“When did this <b>ce </b>get a new owner!”
“Not long ago–maybe in the <b>past </b>month, Jason replied after a moment.
Everyone had known Verdant Vi was <b>vacant </b>before.
<b>Ethan </b>scoffed. “The past month. Hah.”
A lot had happened in that time. Ever since he dyed the wedding <b>with </b>Ste, it had all gone downhill.
But what he couldn’t forget was the man he’d run into at Kingston Heights.
After that, Ste had disappeared from there–and now she was here.
Chapter 164 You Don’t Knock 1 Don’t Forget
Eddie and Rianne were <b>connected </b>to <b>her </b>Now <b>Verdant </b>Vi too?
Was she doing this on purpose?
The more he thought about it, the angrier <b>he </b>got
Jason hesitated “Should we ask Ms Ste?”
From the looks of it, Ste was clearly living here now.
If Ethan wanted to buy this ce for Lillian, he’d need to go through her.
That thought made Ethan’s face darken even further
“Ask her what? So she can humte Lillian?“
Jason didn’t reply
Humiliation? From what they’d <b>seen</b><b>, </b>Ste <b>had </b>been ying them both–Ethan and Lillian.
They’d been losing sleep over this vi, only to find out Ste was already living in it.
No wonder Ethan looked ready to explode.
Bazz, bzzz–his phone vibrated agai
Judson,
Ethan ignored it.
So Judson called Jason instead–and he didn’t dare ignore it.
“Sir.” Jason answered, voice steady.
<b>“</b><b>Give </b>the phone to Ethan.” Judson ordered. His voice was tight and dangerous.
Jason nced toward the back seat. “Sir, it’s your father.”
Ethan opened his eyes and took the phone. “<b>Father</b>.”
“You went to Verdant Vi again?”
Judson’s tone was cial:
Ethan stayed silent<b>. </b>
Judson growled. “So you’re really ignoring everything I’ve said.”
His tone was like a loaded gun.
“I’m going to meet the <b>Luke </b>heir today.” Ethan said, slow and deliberate, voice <b>heavy </b>with exhaustion.
“You don’t need to,” Judson snapped–and hung up.
Ethan blinked in surprise at the abrupt ending.
No more scolding? That wasn’t like his father.
But deep down, an uneasy feeling had begun to stir

Her phone had been vibrating non–stop, but <b>she’d </b>silenced it and slept straight through to past 7 p.m.
When she woke up, she noticed several missed calls from unknown numbers.
Just <b>as </b>she was about to check, another unfamiliar number started calling.
