I\u2019m not a monster who eats people!\u201d Ethan rolled his eyes in disbelief. From the moment Charlotte had gotten in his car, she had acted like a passenger and didn\u2019t even bother to look at him. Did she really think he was just a free driver? He hadn\u2019t planned on staying out this late. But on his way home from work, he saw Charlotte pacing nervously outside the company, trying to hail a cab, looking as if something serious had happened. When he asked, he learned that Charlotte\u2019s younger brother, Christopher, had gotten into a fight at school.<\/p>\n<p>He was now at a hospital near the campus. Christopher studied in a nearby city-not far, just about two and a half hours-but the school was in a remote area. At night, it wasn\u2019t exactly safe for Charlotte to go alone. Ethan had wanted to convince her to wait until morning, but Charlotte was frantic and wouldn\u2019t listen. Reluctantly, Ethan pulled her into his car and promised to take her. He had expected some hesitation-after all, in her eyes, he was like a wild beast-but to his surprise, she simply said \u201cthank \u2014- you\u201d when she got in. That was it. No small talk, no chatter.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She even called Christopher on the phone for the entire drive, not speaking to Ethan once. At first, Ethan had felt a little proud-she trusted him enough to sit silently-but now he realized\u2026 why was he even caring so much about what Charlotte thought of him? He was a man who only acted when there was benefit. What good did this get him? \u201cWha-Ethan\u2026why did you just hit me? You scared me!\u201d Charlotte frowned, glancing at him reproachfully. \u201c| didn\u2019t hit you. | was calling you,\u201d Ethan said, letting out a snort before chuckling softly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, Charlotte, I\u2019m driving you this late, almost two hours now, my back\u2019s killing me-and you don\u2019t even offer me a little reward?\u201d \u201cA reward?\u201d Charlotte raised an eyebrow. She quickly pulled out her phone and played a recording. It was Ethan\u2019s voice. \u201cIll take you there.\u201d \u201cNo, thanks, Ethan, | can get a taxi myself\u2026\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s late. It\u2019s dangerous for you alone. Don\u2019t worry, | have no other intentions. I\u2019m not charging you, not robbing you, and I\u2019m \u2014- definitely not going to trouble Khloe.\u201d Ethan\u2019s lips twitched. Sometimes, when words failed him, he couldn\u2019t even laugh.<\/p>\n<p>He had thought she was letting her guard down\u2026 yet in just a few seconds of their exchange, she had secretly recorded him? Charlotte put away her phone, seeing the expression on his face darken, and fell silent for a moment. Then she asked, \u201cSo\u2026what reward do you want then?\u201d Outside, darkness pressed in. The road was tricky, and she didn\u2019t want to provoke him. Little did Ethan know, she had been sharing her entire route with a friend in real time, ready to call the police if necessary. Ethan shot her a sidelong glance and sighed. \u201cI\u2019m a little tired\u2026<\/p>\n<p>and there\u2019s still half an hour to go. Keep me company.\u201d \u201cJust that?\u201d Charlotte asked, eyebrow raised, clearly testing him, \u201cJust that,\u201d he said, voice low. \u201cOkay. So what do you want to talk about?\u201d \u201cTalk about\u2026\u201d Ethan thought for a moment. He and Charlotte didn\u2019t really share any common ground-different circles, different hobbies. Apart from work, drinking, flirting, and \u2014- shopping, he couldn\u2019t think of anything worth talking about. 1 And Charlotte certainly wouldn\u2019t discuss which positions worked best in bed. \u201cLet\u2019s talk about your brother,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother?\u201d \u201cYou care about your brother,\u201d Ethan said, yawning mid- sentence. \u201cI want to know what it\u2019s like to have siblings\u2026 and for you, a woman, taking care of your brother-is it like taking care of a child?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 439 Advertisement Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 439 \u2013 \u2014- [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
