Chapter 401 Ethan Seeks Advice
Aidan nodded. There’s a rumor that Roxanne is always bruised up, probably because of her optice dad But
rumor? ‘s no proot, and she’s free said anything. So, it’s hist:
When Dawn remembered how Vincent treated her, she scoffert.
“Interesting.”
Her dad was even more of a mystery than she thought.
After putting the files away, Dawn leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling. After a moment, she quietly said, “Do you think I’m really Vincent’s daughter?”
“Didn’t he already do a paternity test with you?” Aidan frowned. “If you’re still worried, can’t you just do another one yourself?”
“You think Vincent is that easy to deal with?”
Dawn shot him a look. “If getting his DNA were that easy, everyone would be lining up pretending to be his rtives. He’s not that careless.”
And with Vincent’s status…
If he wanted, fake could be real.
Whether she tested again or not didn’t really matter.
Aidan also realized that point. His eyes darkened. “Just tell me what you need. I’ve got your back.”
He used to be a hacker wanted all over the world. If it weren’t for Dawn, he might never have had a normal life<i>. </i>
No matter what feelings he had, he’d always be on her side.
Dawn took a deep breath and sighed. “Let’s just take things one step at a time.”
She was just about to leave when Benjamin, who Aidan had tricked into going back to his room, suddenly walked out holding a teddy bear.
“Mommy, are you not sleeping with us again?”
They both went still, caught off guard.
Dawn gave Aidan an awkward look, then forced a smile. “Um, I still have something to do. You go sleep with Daddy first, okay?”
She red at Aidan while she said it. <i>Do </i><i>something</i>, <i>quick</i>!
But Aidan stayed expressionless and even added fuel to the fire.

“Maybe in your mommy’s eyes, we’re just not that important.”
Dawn was speechless.
She smiled threateningly, but the man didn’t react at all.

Left with no choice, Dawn picked Benjamin up and carried him back to the room. Used every trick she knew, she finally managed to get the little one to sleep before leaving.
Back at the hotel, she had just opened the door when a big hand suddenly pushed her against the wall.
The man smelled strongly of alcohol, but he still used his other hand to protect the back of her head from hitting the wall. Dawn panicked for a second, then caught a familiar scent.
She let out a long breath. Every emotion in her body turned into anger. “Ethan, how did you get in here? Are you insane?”
He was so close his face was touching hers, his warm breath hitting her skin. His voice was low, hoarse, and full of pain. “You finally remember toe back?”
Three hours earlier.
Ethan drove away, but the moment he reached the neighborhood gate, he mmed the brakes.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, breathing heavily, unable to calm down. The scene of that happy family of three kept reying in his mind.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and hit the steering wheel.
A momentter, he took out his phone.
He sent a message in a group chat, “Who’s around?”
Someone replied, “What’s up?”
Alex replied, “Who else? Come rain or shine, Club One is waiting for you.”
Seeing that message, Ethan stepped on the gas. He drove his sedan like it was a race car all the way to Club
One.
Twenty minutester, he parked perfectly in a spot.
He got out of the car. He walked in looking pissed off, his whole vibe sharp enough to cut someone.
Inside, he immediately saw Alex in their usual spot.
Nightclubs were always hazy and smoky, and the air alone made Ethan frown. He strode over, grabbed a ss, and drank it in one shot.
Alex was alone for once, lounging on the couch with azy grin, watching him with interest.

“Your sweetheart gave you a hard time again?”
Ethan nced at him but didn’t speak.
He turned and sat dowIL.
Alex knew from his expression that he was probably right. He put down his crossed legs and raised <b>an </b>eyebrow. “Come on, tell me. Maybe I can even offer you some advice.
Ethan turned his head. He didn’t look arrogant and rebellious anymore–just tense and serious.
He looked at Alex, lost in thought.
Alex was the type of guy who flirted with everyone but never got tied down–tons of experience.
Maybe he did have some useful advice.
Ethan picked up another drink and calmly exined the situation. With the soft music ying, the whole story felt dramatic.
“So, you still don’t know if she and that man are actually married, right?”
“Yeah.”
Alex clicked his tongue and put a toothpick in his mouth, pretending to be a dating expert. “Not a big problem.”
Ethan frowned but didn’t say anything.
“You don’t trust me?”
“No.”
Alex was speechless.
He gritted his teeth. Time to prove himself.
He sat up straight and spoke seriously. “If they were really married, there’s no way the outside world wouldn’t know. You know how people in this circle are–give them the slightest rumor, and they’ll dig into your family history like it’s a full–time job.”
