    Chapter 255: Half-Asleep Confessions


    I wonder how Dawn would react if she ever saw this message?


    A sudden flicker of mischief sparked in Micah’s eyes. His long fingers hovered over the screen, tracing the words, but he hesitated and never hit send.


    When Ethan finally returned home, the house was quiet except for the soft hum of the evening. Dawn and Hannah had already finished dinner. Hannah had stepped out to take the dog for a walk, leaving Dawn alone in the cozy living room.


    Dawn sat cross-legged on the couch, dressedfortably in her long-sleeved loungewear. A te of freshly cut fruit rested on herp. She nced up as Ethan entered. “Didn’t you say you had a business dinner tonight? Howe you’re back so early?”


    Ethan approached casually, leaning down to pluck an apple slice from her te. “Who told you I had a dinner?”


    “Tony,” she replied, spearing another piece of fruit and chewing thoughtfully. “He mentioned you had an important client visiting today.”


    Ethan shrugged off his suit jacket and settled beside her, pulling her close with a yful glint in his eyes. His gaze silently urged her to feed him. “You trust whatever you hear? Next time, just ask me yourself.”


    “Oh,” Dawn murmured, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about Tony’s words today didn’t sit right. She studied Ethan carefully, searching for any hint of deception but found none.


    She offered him another piece of fruit, then another. Suddenly, her voice softened. “You didn’t eat dinner, did you?”


    Ethan’s expression remained unreadable. Then, without warning, he gripped her waist with both hands and lifted her effortlessly to straddle him. The sweet scent of the fruit lingered on his breath. “No dinner yet. Starting now.”


    Dawn gasped, surprised by the sudden movement, but her startled cry was silenced by his lips pressing against hers.


    They moved upstairs, their bodies close, breaths mingling in the warm air. Dawn wrapped her arms tightly around Ethan’s neck, feeling the pull of gravity threatening to unbnce her. Between their mingled breaths, it felt as though a spark had ignited inside her, a slow-burning me kindling warmth from within.


    Outside, the sky was still painted with the soft hues of sunset, the fading light casting a golden glow that framed the window behind them. The scene created a striking silhouette, a moment frozen in time.


    Over an hourter, they finally parted, breathless and content.


    Ethan ran a bath for Dawn, filling the bathroom with the soothing scent ofvender. After she dressed and stepped out, she immediately noticed Ethan standing by the window. His tall frame was silhouetted against the dimming light, a cigarette glowing faintly in his hand. Dawn frowned, confused — she never remembered Ethan smoking.


    Just then, Ethan nced up, casually flicked the cigarette into the trash, and took the towel from her hands. His voice was low and husky as he began drying her hair. “Why didn’t you call me?”


    Dawn smiled softly. “To help me get dressed?”


    “Of course,” he replied seriously, giving her a look that said, *What else would you expect?* “I’m at yourplete service. Start to finish.”


    Though his words sounded perfectly ordinary, there was an unmistakable hint of something more beneath them.


    Dawn gave him a yful, reproachful nce but said nothing.


    The warm air brushed past her ear as Ethan’s movements remained gentle and tender. Each time he helped dry her hair, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.


    Tonight was no different. The heavy,zy feeling crept in slowly, and Dawn found a cozy spot to lean against. Just as she was about to close her eyes, Ethan’s clear voice cut through the haze.


    “Don’t fall asleep.”


    “Hmm?”


    Why was sleep so elusive?


    They had already finished everything…


    Ethan’s warm fingertips brushed softly across her cheek. “Don’t sleep. I still have something to tell you, okay?”


    He wasn’t sure if she heard him. A flicker of frustration crossed his brow as he put the hairdryer away, returning it to the cab. When he came back, Dawn was propped up on the couch, her eyelids heavy and barely holding open.


    He sighed and scooped her gently into his arms.


    Carrying her to the bed, heid her down carefully.


    Dawn had just begun curling into afortable position when Ethan pulled her back slightly.


    Half-dazed, she reached up and cupped his face. “What is it? Let’s just sleep.”


    “To avoid any unnecessary troubleter on, there’s something I need to tell you now,” Ethan said softly, crouching beside the bed. His face rested in her palms, his dark eyes steady and serious.


    Dawn’s gaze slowly sharpened, though she was still half in a dream.


    “Well, what is it?”


    “A woman who used to pursue me has returned from abroad.”


    “And?”


    “She works for apany that’s coborating with ours on a project, so I’ll have to interact with her. If you hear anything from anyone else,e to me directly, okay?”


    His tone was earnest, but Dawn listened in a daze.


    Blinking, she asked the most important question. “Do you like her?”


    “No.”


    “Then it’s fine.”


    With those words, Dawn released his face and flopped back onto the bed, mumbling, “Normal work stuff is normal. I won’t get mad, as long as there’s really nothing between you two.”


    Soon, the only sound was their breathing, soft and even.


    Ethan remained silent, a small smile tugging at his lips. He pinched the bridge of his nose with a hint of helplessness before leaning down to pull the covers over her.


    Dawn’s cheeks still held a faint blush, her skin glowing with the softness of a child’s. Ethan gently tapped her forehead and whispered, “Can you pay a little more attention to your husband?”


    This time, she was too deeply asleep to answer.


    Dawn slept soundly through the night, only waking in the early morning with a vague memory stirring. What had Ethan told herst night? The words lingered just out of reach, like a half-remembered dream.Conclusion
