Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding
Abel scratched his <b>head</b>. “Ms. Ste’s really hungry.”
Hunger makes it impossible to sleep. He knew the feeling well–it sucked.
Ste <b>shot </b>Abel a grateful <b>look</b>. It wasn’t often he spoke up for her.
Abraham didn’t miss that look, of course.
He pulled her into hisp. “Then let’s <b>make </b>something clear–you’re not allowed to go on any crazy diets.”
He still remembered <b>that </b>time <b>Marie </b>had gone on one. The doctor said she’d be seriously deficient in a bunch of <b>essential </b>nutrients. It had left Abraham with asting sense of dread.
The thought of Ste ever doing <b>the </b>same thing made his stomach turn.
“I won 1
“Ms. Ste’s not the type to <b>gain </b>weight easily anyway,” Abel said.
<b>That </b>much was true, Ste always had a soft, baby–faced look to her, but she’d <b>never </b>gained or lost much weight. She was just. Ste.
Abraham pinched her cheek. “I’ll have the kitchen make you something”
“Okay.”
Relieved, Ste skipped off to the kitchen to order a steak. She was honestly starving.
She noticed the kitchen staff had changed, but didn’t think much of it.
When she came back out, she overheard Abraham and Abel talking about Judson again.
Abraham gave a <b>cold </bugh. “Judson’s really something.”
He wanted to send Lillian to him? <b>What </b><b>the </b>hell was that supposed to be?
Abel said, “Even I was surprised.”
When they called <b>back </b><b>and </b>said Ethan wouldn’t be allowed to see Lillian anymore, Abel realized they’d totally misread the
situation.
Abraham sipped from his ss, eyes narrowing.
Abel asked, “What should we do on our end?”
Abraham replied calmly. “They don’t need to send her.”
Abel nodded “Understood.”
Of course not.
There <b>was </b>no world in which aliam would entertain someone like Lillian–sick or not, she wasn’t <b>even </b>close to his type.
“But keeping Ethan from seeing her? That part, I like.”
Abel beutated. “But if we go with that, the Keene family’s definitely going to think there’s something between you and Lillian
Chapter 170 The Best Kind of Misunderstanding
Ethan was obsessed with Lillian right now. If they cut him off entirely, it would drive him mad
Abel said. “Got ut. I’ll follow <b>up </b>
Finished
Abraham set down his ss.
Abel left, <b>and </b>Abrahamu looked toward the kitchen.
“You gonna just stand there?” he asked.
Ste stepped out slowly.
Seriously You’re ying match–<b>breaker </b>now?”
Telling Ethan he couldn’t see Lillian anymore–might as well have sentenced him to death.
Abraham pulled her onto hisp. “That’s not breaking them up. That’s doing him a favor.”
Ste stared at him. “Are you listening to yourself? <b>That’s </b>not what good people <b>do </b>
The Keene family treats Lillian like she’s contagious. I’m just helping them along”
Well, when you put it like that…
It really was doing them a favor–just not for <b>Ethan</b>.
The rest of the Keene family would probably thank him. Ethan, though, would be suffering
Ste thought about it again. “Okay, fine. You’re doing a good deed,”
Except the Reed family and Ethan were about to <b>have </b>a real bad time.
People called at a marriage alliance, but in reality, the Reed family had always depended on the Keenes. That dependency was growing <b>shakier </b>by the day. With everything riding on Lillian, and tensions already high. Ethan was theirst remaining
If the Keenes now barred him from seeing her the Reed family would go into full panic mode.
Abraham took her hand in his. “Ste, all these years you’ve been here, was there nothing that made <b>you </b>happy!
“There was
She thought for a second, then answered seriously.
Abraham frowned. “Who gave it to you!
He remembered the reports Abel had dug up. Just reading them <b>made </b><b>his </b>chest feel tight.
Ste smiled. “I have a really profitable studio”
“Hm
Oh and don’t call me tomorrow I’ll be at <b>the </b>studio all day”
“Why”
Tve got to work overtime One of our biggest clients has a new project. I want to get it right.”
