Chapter 424 Isn’t as Heartless as I Imagined
He wasn’t drunk, yet his voice carried a faint, intoxicated edge.
Dawn moved her lips and, after a long pause, spoke softly, “Ethan, nothing in this world is ever truly
constant.”
Especially human hearts.
Who could guarantee that they’d love someone forever?
No one.
Impossible.
Fairy tales are not real.
Late at night, the vi was utterly quiet outside, the asional chirp of insects piercing the silence.
In the dimly lit corridor, Dawn lowered her gaze and gently moved his arm aside with her fingers. “It’st Go rest. Good night.”
Ethan didn’t stop her, his voice low and unyielding. “Dawn, we haven’t divorced yet.”
Dawn froze. She hadn’t expected him to say that.
<i>Not </i><i>divorced</i><i>? </i>
<i>What </i>did <i>that </i><i>mean</i><i>? </i>
Thinking back carefully, though Ethan had handed her a divorce agreement years ago–and she had signed it–she had no idea whether the procedure was ever officiallypleted.
Maybe it hadn’t.
It was possible, and the possibility wasn’t little.
Divorce required both parties to be present. At the time, she had assumed he was in a hurry to divorce and might have found other ways.
In an instant, countless thoughts shed through her mind.
After a while, she looked up.
“Well… isn’t that convenient?”
Ethan furrowed his brows. “Perfect for what?”
“I already handled the paperwork with Aidan abroad. So if we haven’t divorced… No rush, right?”
Dawn leisurely straightened the slight wrinkle in his cor. “I know you love me, but his little bit of

inconvenience should be nothing, right?”
She really had the whole picture painted in her head.

Ethan stared at her, and all his emotions coalesced into a firestorm of anger that burned uncontrobly i
his chest.
He sneered, grabbed her wrist, and closed the distance between them again.
Those dark eyes glimmered with a dangerously sharp edge, as if they could shred her into pieces at any
moment.
“Dawn, what exactly do you take me for, hmm?”
He bent down and bit her lips, then her shoulder.
The bite was unrestrained.
Dawn couldn’t help but hiss, her small face scrunching up as she pushed him away. “Ethan! Are you crazy
“I’ll make it hurt!”

“What does it matter if I’m married? Don’t forget, back when you and Roxanne were inseparable, I was stil trapped by Jonathan!”
If he hadn’t hidden so much from her, she might not have had to endure all that pain.
Their breaths mingled in the narrow space.
Even feeling each other’s warmth, there was no hint of romance or seduction. They each raised shields and spears, pointing at the other.
Ethan squeezed his eyes shut. Once again, visions of her being intimate with another man shed through his mind.
“Do whatever you want!”
With that, he stormed back to his room in long, decisive strides.
Dawn stayed in the corridor a moment. In the dark hallway, only her shadow and her breathing kept her
She ran a hand through her hair and went back to her room to sleep.
Morning came. Around seven, a heavy weight rested on her.
“Dawn, wake up, wake up! The sun’s up! Dawn! Dawn!”
The nagging voice persisted in her ears, just like an annoying mosquito. Even after she turned over twice,

she couldn’t escape.
“Ah! Benjamin!”
“Hehe,” the little voice tilted its head. “It’s me!”

Dawn’s fury instantly vanished, reced by helplessness. “Honey, can’t you y by yourself for a bit when you wake up? Let me sleep a little longer, please?”
“Nope. Not fun.”
Benjamin shook his head decisively. “Dawn, get up and y with me.”
Dawn buried her face under the covers, but couldn’t avoid him. She was dragged out of bed, forced to wash herself and the little rascal.
By the time they were done and headed downstairs, it wasn’t even eight yet.
The vi was quiet.
Helena was not here yet, and the man who had left on bad terms yesterday was nowhere to be seen.
Dawn nced around, her eyes darkening slightly.
“Dawn, are you looking for Ethan?”
“I’m not.”
“I told you, if Ethan bes my dad, then he can sleep with you, and y with me too!”
Dawn lowered her head and gently tapped his head. “Who taught you
that?”
“It’s what they do on TV…”
“That’s fake. Stop learning that!”
After giving Benjamin a mini–lecture, Dawn led him to the kitchen to make something simple to eat. Her steps halted suddenly as she nced toward the dining table and smiled.
“Looks like this Ethan isn’t as heartless as I imagined.”
Their breakfasts were still warm, proving he had left not long ago.
Benjamin looked at the food, then at the woman standing beside the table. He sighed deeply, looking far older than his three years, and climbed onto the chair with his short little legs.
