With both his wife and daughter gone, there was no point in staying here.


    So, he left.


    He went to the office, held a meeting, and met with two investors in the afternoon.


    When it was about time, Ethan shut down hisputer right on schedule.


    Tony walked in with some reports and froze when he saw Ethan getting ready to leave. “Mr. Jackson…”


    “What? Don’t you know it’s time to get off work?”


    Ethan picked up his car keys and walked past him.


    Raising an eyebrow, he added, “I’m not working overtime. If you want to, go ahead. File the overtime pay with ounting. I’m leaving.”


    Tony opened his mouth; no words came out.


    This must be a miracle.


    How long had it been since his boss left work on time?


    Even though overtime paid double, this was still amazing news. His boss was clearly about to fall in love!


    It was 5:30 p.m., half an hour before the official clocked–off time.


    Ethan drove to Stonewarden Group and parked right at the entrance. People walked in and out around him. He looked up at the building. He couldn’t see anything from here, but his sharp features softened in a way they hadn’t in a long time.


    After a while, a security guard came over and knocked on the window.


    “Sorry, sir. You can’t park here.”


    “Okay.”


    Ethan opened the door and stepped out, his long legs hitting the


    ground.


    The guard looked confused. “Sir…?”


    The next second, a set of car keys was tossed over. Ethan said calmly, “If I can’t park here, then help me park it. Hold onto the keys for now. I’lle back to youter.”


    The guard looked down. The Porsche logo car key felt oddly heavy in his hand.


    When he looked up again, the man was already far away.


    Maybe it was Ethan’s presence. On his way upstairs, no one stopped him.


    He walked straight into the CEO office area and pushed the door open.


    Dulce, doll–like and sweet, was sitting on the desk, tearing paper into pieces.

    Chapter 617 Right Where They Belong


    Dawn sat behind the desk, wearing ck–framed sses. She was fully focused on her work.


    “Mommy.”


    “Yes.”

    “For you.”


    “Mm.”


    Dulce tore off another piece of paper and handed it to her. Dawn took it without thinking and ced it to the side. A small pile had already formed there.


    Ethan’s eyes slowly deepened. It was like a boat drifting across a wide, endless sea, letting the waves pass over it until it finally reached a calm shore.


    He stood there for a long time.


    Dulce finished tearing another sheet.


    Oh, there was one more over there.


    She leaned to the side but couldn’t reach it. The girl ced both hands on the desk and tried to crawl over.


    Out of the corner of her eye, Dawn noticed and quickly reached out to steady her. “Look where you are,” she said softly. “What if you fall?<b>” </b>


    When she looked up by ident, she saw the man standing at the door.


    Their eyes met.


    The redness at the corner of his eyes burned her.


    Her hand trembled slightly as she held Dulce’s. She quickly turned her attention back to her daughter. “Which one do you want? I’ll get it for you.”


    To keep Dulce from tearing important papers, everything had already been sorted earlier. There was nothing there except scrap paper,


    But Dulce was picky.
