Vivian watched as Ethan walked into the study, just about to continue explaining the topic to him, when her wrist was suddenly grasped by him. Immediately, he dragged her out of the study.
"What are you doing!?" Vivian protested as Ethan dragged her by the wrist into the bedroom, her heart skipping a beat, struggling even more.
However, Ethan directly dragged her to the wardrobe, reached out to open it, then stuffed Vivian inside and said, "Stay here and don't make a sound."
With those words, he closed the wardrobe door.
What!?
What the hell!?
Vivian stood bewildered inside the wardrobe, staring at the closed door, feeling utterly confused.
She bit her lip, intending to push the door open, when suddenly it was opened again, Ethan's handsome face peering in with a serious look said, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound, got it??"
"..."
Vivian glanced at his handsome face **just inches away** and was momentarily speechless.
"Please…" Seeing Vivian's silence, Ethan switched to a pitiful expression.
"Alright, okay, but…" Seeing his pitiful expression, Vivian couldn't help but soften, but just as she answered, before finishing her sentence, Ethan shut the wardrobe door again.
What on earth…
What's gotten into him suddenly?
Vivian stood in the pitch-black wardrobe, unable to resist rolling her eyes, regretting agreeing not to make a sound earlier.
After stuffing Vivian into the wardrobe, Ethan quickly went to the door to let Liam Shaw in, but as soon as his hand reached the doorknob, he noticed Vivian's pink leather shoes on the floor out of the corner of his eye.
How could he have been so focused on hiding Vivian that he forgot about her shoes, that was close.
Ethan hurriedly bent down to pick up Vivian's shoes and examined them; they were so small, could they be children's shoes??
But before he could think further, a thumping knock sounded at the door: "Ethan, Ethan! Let me in!! Someone just left downstairs, so I sneaked in using someone else's access card."
Oh man!
Ethan quickly stuffed Vivian's shoes into the shoe cabinet and then opened the front door.
Outside, Liam Shaw stood there with his backpack, grinning broadly, and said, "Ethan, I'm here!!"
"Heh." Ethan gave a forced smile, glancing at him, then stepped aside to let him in.
"Actually, I was going to stay home and play games, but when I thought of you still struggling over here, I decided to come accompany you anyway!" Once inside, Liam Shaw swapped his shoes for slippers at the entrance and casually asked while heading to the living room, "Where's the kid from your relative's place?"
"She…" Ethan hesitated for a moment, then casually said, "She went home."
"She went home??" Liam Shaw looked at him puzzled.
"Yeah, boring here at my place, plus I don't play games with her, so she went home." Ethan replied to Liam Shaw with a poker face.
"Oh… I see." Liam Shaw nodded in understanding.
