Chapter 239 A Letter to Dawn
s
Dawn turned to nce behind her, checking to see if Liam and the others were still there. Her tone grew anxious as she said, “Ethan, just tell me already.”
After all, they’d driven all that way to the mountain in the middle of the night. They can’t be here for nothing.
“I’ll tell you if you call me Honey.” <fnf2d2> Content originallyes from find·novel</fnf2d2>
Dawn was speechless.
Seriously? How is he still in the mood for this kind of nonsense at a time like this?
She red at him for a moment, then slumped back in her seat with a resigned sigh. “Forget it. If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t.”
Since Ethan was acting so calm, it meant everything had been handled perfectly.
Since someone had already taken care of it for her, she was happy to take it easy.
With that in mind, Dawn felt even more rxed. She leaned backzily, not saying a word.
Ethan nced over, a bit surprised.
“Hmm?”
Dawn didn’t react.
He pressed his tongue against his back teeth and grinned, but he didn’t say anything else.
By the time they got home, the sun was already up, and Tony had brought breakfast over for them. While they were eating, Ethan asked casually, “You really don’t want to know?”
Dawn paused for a second, then went on sipping her milk like nothing had happened.
“If you don’t want to talk, then don’t. I can’t force you anyway.”
<i>Whoa</i>, <i>she </i><i>actually </i><i>made </i><i>a </i><i>lot </i><i>of </i><i>sense</i><i>. </i><i>Since </i><i>when </i><i>did </i><i>she </i><i>get </i><i>so </i><i>sharp</i><i>? </i>
Ethan thought to himself, crossing his legs and tapping his long fingers on the table. “I used a double agent ruse.”
Dawn nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly stopped chewing and looked up, her eyes

shining. “You turned those two guys against Lucas?”
“Smart.”
“And then?”

Seeing how excited she was, Ethan smiled and grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth. “If they find anything, they’ll give it to me first. Plus, we’ll be able to find out Lucas’s next move through them…”
Dawn was listening carefully when Ethan’s handsome face suddenly appeared close <i>to </i>hers.
He leaned in, nearly nose–to–nose with her.
“I did a great job, didn’t I?”
Dawn was left speechless again.
<i>He </i>looks <i>just </i><i>like </i><i>a </i><i>kid </i><i>begging </i><i>for </i><i>praise </i><i>right </i><i>now</i>. <i>Honestly</i><i>… </i>it’s <i>kind </i><i>of </i><i>childish</i>.
Dawn gave a crooked little smile and nodded. “Yeah, you did great.”
“So… shouldn’t I get a reward or something?”
As Ethan spoke, he couldn’t help but nce down. Her lips were still red and full from the milk she’d just drunk, making his heart race.
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he leaned even closer.
“Woof!”
Just as their lips were about to meet, Sunny suddenly barked from the side, startling both of them.
For a moment, Ethan let out a long breath and turned, saying in a low voice, “Sunny, go y somewhere else.”
“Woof!” I’ve got something to tell you! It’s important!
Looking into Sunny’s clear eyes, Dawn couldn’t help butugh. She reached out to rub his head. “Sunny’s our hero. We can’t scold him, right?”
Sunny panted. When they still didn’t move, he suddenly grabbed Ethan’s pant leg and started pulling him outside.

In the yard, all the nts were sprouting new leaves. The cold of winter was fading, reced by a slight warmth from the sun.
Ethan was dragged all the way to the wall by Sunny. Then, he started barking nonstop at the bushes.
“There’s something in there?”
“Woof!”
Ethan raised an eyebrow, and the next second, he moved to check it out.
Dawn grabbed his hand from behind. “Shouldn’t we get a tool first? What if it’s something dangerous?”
Amusement flickered in his deep eyes, and he patted her hand in reassurance. “Don’t worry. If it were dangerous, Sunny would’ve handled it himself. He wouldn’t call me.”
Dawn still felt uneasy, but she let go anyway.
It turned out she was worried for nothing.
There was no danger. Behind the thick grass, Ethan found nothing but a letter.
She frowned. “Who would throw a letter in the bushes?”
There was a mailbox right outside.
But then again, these days everyone uses phones or email for important things. Hardly anyone writes paper letters anymore.
Ethan nced at Sunny, then at the letter in his hand. He said in a low voice, “That person wanted us to find it this way.”
So they made sure Sunny saw it.
That way, the people in the house would hear the barking ande out.
His gaze grew dark as he tore open the envelope.
There was a folded, ordinary–looking white paper inside. Across the top, a few big words stood
out-
“To Dawn.”

Dawn’s breath caught, a wave of unease washing over her.

She exchanged a look with Ethan and nodded for him to open it. He unfolded the paper and saw two lines, written in a wild, flowing hand.
“You want to know the secret of that mountain?
“Then divorce Ethan.”
It was almost exactly like thest note that told her not to get married–even the tone was the
same.
Dawn waspletely lost. She honestly couldn’t imagine who would make a demand like this.
<i>And </i><i>that </i><i>person </i><i>even </i><i>knows </i><i>about </i><i>the </i><i>mountain’s </i><i>secret</i>.
