Chapter 1516 Want To Settle Down (2/2)

She hadn't expected to see him there, so she subconsciously asked, ”Why are you back so soon?”

Ethan handed her the peeled apple and rep

tered, ”Ethan, do you still want to stay there?”

While she spoke, tears started to form in her eyes. She nervously looked at Ethan's frigid eyes while she waited for his answer.

Upon hearing her words, Ethan was quite overwhelmed. The reason why he stayed with Bill was to accompany the little girl who had been abandoned by her father for such a long time. But now, the little girl was a grown woman. After a bit of thought, he realized there was no reason for him to stay there anymore.

After all, Ethan had only done it for her. And if she didn't want him to be there anymore, then what was the point of his actions?

”Do you want me to stay there?” Ethan asked with a straight face.

Without hesitation, Estelle shook her head and said, ”All I want is for both of us to focus on our bright futures. I think that's the most peaceful way to go about this.”

After a while, Ethan let out a chuckle. He understood what she meant and firmly said, ”Okay, I'll do what you want, I promise.”

At that moment, it was Estelle's turn to be stunned.

She didn't expect that Ethan would do what she asked that very moment.

He left in the blink of an eye without even uttering a single word.

When Ethan walked outside, the sun was almost completely gone. He stood quietly in front of a window and looked out at the neon lights and tall buildings not far away.

After that, he lit a cigarette and smoked it like it was the last cigarette of his life. He attentively watched the ashes fall gently to the ground.

He savored that cigarette until there was nothing left.

At that moment, Ethan seemed like he was completely out of touch with reality. He didn't show a single shred of emotion. To make matters worse, he didn't even feel pain from putting out the cigarette on his bare palm. A few moments later, he took out his phone and dialed a familiar number.
