    **TITLE: Beseeched 297**


    Kate scrutinized Ethan’s expression with a fierce intensity. There was an unsettling dissonance between the man before her and the ruthless scoundrel she had conjured in her mind.


    Yet, she maintained her razor-sharp tone, determined not to let her guard down.


    “What do you mean she’s okay?”


    With a pointed finger, she emphasized her point, her voice rising with indignation. “Look at her! She’s pale, she’s exhausted, and she’s utterly miserable. Every single day, she sits by the front door as if she’s waiting for someone who will never return. And you? What have you been doing all this time?”


    Sure, her words dripped with a touch of melodrama, but they were rooted in truth.


    Dawn’s state was genuinely dire.


    The anger that had briefly subsided surged back to life within Kate, a fiery wave that threatened to engulf her. “I don’t understand you at all. If you’ve moved on and don’t love her anymore, then just end it! Let both of you find a way to move forward. Stop wasting her precious life!”


    The glow of the streetlights cast shadows, partially obscuring Ethan’s face, creating an atmosphere thick with tension.


    “It’s my fault,” he murmured, the weight of his admission hanging in the air.


    At least he recognized his own shorings.


    “But I won’t leave her,” he added, his voice steady but resolute.


    It was futile to reason with him.


    “Then what on earth are you doing?” Kate snapped, frustration boiling over. “That woman is trailing after you like a disease. What do you even see in her? Dawn is a thousand times better in every conceivable way! Are you blind to that?”


    The more she raised her voice, the more her anger ignited, teetering on the edge of unleashing a torrent of curses.


    The two men stood in silence, absorbing her fury, neither one daring to interject.


    “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?”


    “Say something!”


    Her irritation was palpable, and the relentless wind whipped her hair around her face, adding to her growing exasperation. Just as she was about to grab Ethan by the cor, he finally broke his silence.


    “There are things I need to handle. Please keep herpany for me. Make sure she takes care of herself.”


    If this woman could roam freely around Seabrook, it was clear that Jonathan had ced his trust in her.


    Ethan’s gaze bore into Kate, and despite her simmering rage, she found herself listening intently.


    “I’ll go pick her up. Just tell her to wait a little longer.”


    One simple sentence—another spark igniting her fury.


    “Wait, wait, wait. Why should she wait?” Kate barked, her voice sharp as a knife.


    “Who do you think you are? Why should she put her life on pause just because you said so? I’m telling you, she’s done waiting! I’m introducing her to someone right now, and you can—”


    Before she could finish her thought, her feet were suddenly lifted off the ground.


    She gasped, instinctively clutching onto his shoulders for bnce.


    “Are you out of your mind?! Put me down!”


    Tony, however, had no intention ofplying. He swung Kate over his shoulder as if she were as light as a feather. She had already expressed everything she needed to say, and if he allowed her to continue, he would be the one who faced the consequencester.


    Ethan’s eyes darkened, and hemanded, “Take her home.”


    In her current state, she was certainly not fit to drive.


    Tony nodded immediately, adjusting the hem of her dress that had hiked up her legs as he walked.


    “Hey!!”


    Kate screamed, the indignation clear in her voice.


    “You creep! Put me down!”


    Though Tony’s ears rang from her shouts, he pressed on. He opened the passenger door with one hand, depositing her inside, before moving to the driver’s seat.


    Kate’s breathing was erratic, her hair a wild mess, yet her striking beauty remained undeniable.


    “Who told you to get in my car? Get out!”


    “Hey,dy, you came looking for my boss. And you’re Ms. Porter’s friend. Of course, we need to ensure you get home safe.”


    Tony shed a dazzling, sunny grin—handsome in all the right ways.


    “Buckle up.”


    The engine was already purring to life, and refusing now felt pointless.


    With a deep breath, Kate snapped the seatbelt into ce. “Let me tell you something. Don’t think this changes anything. Your boss and you! Neither of you are good people.”


    Tony was momentarily taken aback. “Okay.”


    With only the two of them in the car, she could unleash her frustrations if she wished.


    He nced at the phone resting on the dashboard. “Open the GPS for me.”


    He spoke with such ease, as if they were old friends sharing a casual ride.


    Kate huffed in response, reluctantly opening the navigation app on her phone.


    Initially, she hadn’t been angry with him, but now that her temper had cooled, it felt a bit unfair to unleash her wrath on him.


    But still, he had brought this upon himself!


    Tony sensed a shift in her demeanor. After a brief pause, he said gently, “My boss is really going through a tough time. You shouldn’t have said all that to him.”


    No surprise there. My boss is probably going to lose sleep again tonight.


    Kate crossed her arms defiantly. “And why should I care if he’s having a hard time? I’m Dawn’s friend, not his. My only concern is that my friend is suffering. As for anyone else, I won’t waste my energy on them.”


    Tony looked at her with surprise before bursting intoughter.


    “How long have you known Ms. Porter?”


    “Huh?” Kate blinked, caught off guard by the question.


    “Not long. Yesterday was the third time we met. Why?”


    Tony found himself at a loss for words, wiping sweat from his brow.


    “Nothing. It’s actually great.”


    He was torn between calling her na?ve or acknowledging how fortunate Ms. Porter was to have her.


    Third meeting, and she was already charging into battle for her? That’s what true friendship looks like.


    Finally, Kate understood the implication behind his words. She lowered her gaze, murmuring, “I don’t have many friends. Dawn is genuine, kind, and fun. She appreciates me. So of course, I would go all in for her.”


    Tony chuckled. “So everyone else dislikes you? What do they dislike you for?”Conclusion


    As the car glided through the quiet streets, Kate felt the weight of her earlier fury begin to dissipate, reced by a sense of rity. The confrontation with Ethan had been a tempest, her emotions swirling like a storm, but now, in theforting hum of the engine, she could reflect on the truth of her feelings.
