He had lost all enthusiasm for Christopher. Seeing that the boy had no intention of leaving, he asked coldly, \u201cDoes your sister know you\u2019re here?\u201d \u201cShe\u2026\u201d Christopher hesitated, and his silence said it all. He had long wanted a chance to thank Ethan and had mentioned it to Charlotte a few times. But every time, Charlotte blocked him.<\/p>\n<p>She believed Ethan and their family were from different worlds, and she told Christopher to mind his own business and forget about these \u201csmall favors.\u201d Yet, Christopher thought otherwise. Even if helping them was just a casual gesture from Ethan, it shouldn\u2019t be treated as. trivial. His mother had always said that one should repay even a drop of kindness with a fountain of gratitude. Besides, Christopher could see that Ethan liked his sister, and he liked Ethan as well. On their last trip back to the city, Ethan had shared many anecdotes from his life-about work, about the world he had seen.<\/p>\n<p>In Christopher\u2019s eyes, Ethan was a noble, remarkable older \u2014- brother-chivalrous, entertaining, and reliable. \u201cHey, your sister probably wouldn\u2019t want you coming here, huh?\u201d Ethan said lightly, noticing Christopher\u2019s awkwardness. Christopher nodded slightly. \u201cEthan, my sister\u2026 she\u2019s shy, but she\u2019s kind-hearted. She knows how to appreciate people.\u201d Knows how to appreciate people, huh?\u201d Ethan snorted softly, a hint of amusement in his tone. \u201cI can see that.\u201d Hearing this, Christopher finally smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, Ethan, I\u2019ll head back first.\u201d Ethan hadn\u2019t intended to say more, but as Christopher turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and called out to him. \u201cafternoon classes?\u201d Christopher paused, shook his head. \u201cHave you eaten lunch?\u201d Still shaking his head, Christopher looked hesitant. Ethan\u2019s lips curved. \u201cCome on, I\u2019ll take you to eat.\u201d Christopher was surprised and quickly tried to refuse, insisting he wasn\u2019t hungry. It wasn\u2019t even lunchtime, and how could he let Ethan treat him? \u2014- But Ethan didn\u2019t give him a choice.<\/p>\n<p>Before Christopher could respond, he gently but firmly pushed him toward the car, Christopher tried to protest, wanting to tell Charlotte, but Ethan interrupted him in a calm, even tone. \u201cWhat we do between us doesn\u2019t concern her. You came to give me a gift, didn\u2019t you? And you didn\u2019t even tell her, did you?\u201d Christopher fell silent, persuaded by the logic. Ethan took him to a high-end private restaurant near the Morrison estate, where the chef created a menu based on that day\u2019s freshest ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher had never eaten such luxurious food before and approached it with careful curiosity. Ethan took meticulous care of him, ensuring everything went smoothly. By the end of the meal, Christopher\u2019s admiration for Ethan had only deepened, and his curiosity about Ethan\u2019s world had grown even stronger. \u201cLet\u2019s take a photo for memory\u2019s sake,\u201d Ethan suggested, gently pulling Christopher close and pressing their faces together for a shot. The boy was a little confused but smiled brightly. Behind them, the panoramic window framed a breathtaking, luxurious view.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014- After the photo, Ethan casually posted it to his social feed. He rarely posted online. His contacts were a mix of friends, colleagues, and numerous Morrison Group employees. Even a simple story or a short status update would trigger dozens of notifications. This photo was no exception. In less than ten minutes, it had hundreds of likes and countless <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 541 Advertisement Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 541 \u2013 Chapter [&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-30155","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\/30155","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=30155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30155\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
