Chapter 7 Ethan's Mother

"Did you see that her hand was wrapped in bandage? What happened?" Henry asked. When he arrived, Aunt Shelly was already dealing with the wounds for Sophia, so he asked Andrew.

Andrew shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened either. When I came here, I saw that Sophia's hand was holding a crystal fragment, and her hand was bleeding. Aunt Shelly stood beside her and didn't know what to do!"

Henry thought he knew her well. "They must have quarreled. Nothing else! I think our boss is really good. He made her cry as soon as he came back. He doesn't know how to be tender to women at all. " He had been getting along well with Sophia recently and thought that she was a good girl no matter why she married his boss.

Andrew said thoughtfully, "Did she say that she married our boss because YU Group forced her with her uncle? But why did Mr. Firman force her to marry our boss with her uncle?"

"Should we help boss to investigate it? Maybe we can find out something." Henry was itching to have a try.

Andrew disagreed, "No. It's our boss's family business. We'd better wait and see."

Henry nodded and sighed, "I hope boss can see her advantages!"

After Andrew and Henry left, Ethan sat alone in the room for a long time. In the past few days, he had figured out everything about this girl and how his uncle forced her to marry him. But there was one problem. Why did Uncle use extreme methods to force a weak girl?

He knew that he couldn't get more information from his uncle, so he went to find the person who had been kidnaped. But the man who looked almost fifty years old also didn't know what had happened.

After several days of investigation, he returned in vain.

After sitting there for a long time, he finally remembered that he had something to do to go home. So he stood up and walked out.

Aunt Shelly was waiting downstairs. He asked expressionlessly, "Where is she?"

"In the garden. Mr. Ethan! " Aunt Shelly wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

"Just say it. Don't hem and haw." Thinking of the humbleness and arrogance of Sophia just now, Ethan got angry again.

Aunt Shelly lowered her head slightly and said, "Mr. Ethan, I know you don't really like Mrs. Sophia, but these days, when I got along with Mrs. Sophia, I found that she was a very good girl without any vile temper. She is beautiful and kind..."

Ethan interrupted her, "I see." Then he went straight out. Aunt Shelly looked at his receding figure and shook her head helplessly.

Sitting alone in the hanging chair in the garden, Sophia was in a daze. Her eyes were melancholy and the white bandage on her hand was shocking. Then, Ethan walked towards her and said, "Go out with me."

"I don't have a name?" Sophia said, not to be outdone.

Ethan said impatiently, "Sophia Jin, come with me!"

"What are you going to do? Where are we going?" Sophia stared at him with her clear eyes. "Ethan Mu, I have to remind you that I'm not your slave or subordinate. I'm your wife and we are equal in status."

"Equality? Do you think we can be equal in status? " Ethan laughed sarcastically, got close to her and said softly, "You probably have forgotten how you married me." Although his voice was light, she could feel the coldness of a king.

Sophia closed her eyes and stared at her toes. Her eyes gradually blurred, but she just looked at them without blinking. No one had been so fierce and rude to her before. That man had never been harsh to her or said such words to her. After all, the situation had changed. She was no longer the apple of his eye.

In the past, when she heard others say that fate was unpredictable, she always didn't believe it. In her heart, the moment she met him, her fate had been destined for the future. But she didn't expect that he would leave her without saying goodbye and disappear from her life in such a hurry.

Her indifference made him angry like an erupting volcano. He went straight forward and pulled her down from the hanging chair, making her almost fall. She was also anxious. "Let go of me."

But he ignored her and took her hand to walk forward. As a result, Sophia staggered. When they arrived at the car, he opened the door with one hand, pushed her in and closed the door. Sophia was pulling the door switch inside, but she couldn't open it.

"Don't waste your energy!" Ethan opened the door and sat on the driver's seat. "If you don't want to die, just fasten the seat belt. Don't you have an uncle? If you die, no one will take care of him."

Sophia glared at him. He had to admit that what he said was reasonable, so she had to yield and fasten the seat belt. Seeing that she had fastened the seat belt obediently, Ethan smiled and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string.

In the confined space, the two people who had been awkward now looked even more awkward. Ethan drove the car at a high speed. Sophia clenched her fists nervously, with sweat on her forehead.

Ethan seemed to be driving, but in fact, he was secretly observing her. When he saw her nervous and scared look, he couldn't help but think that as long as she beg him, he would slow down the car. But she would rather feel uncomfortable than beg him.

What a stubborn woman! He thought to himself and slowed down at the same time.

Sophia felt that the car slowed down, and her nervous heart seemed to be gradually relieved. She secretly glanced at Ethan, feeling that he was about to turn around, so she quickly turned her head and looked out of the car.

Ethan, glancing with the corner of his eyes, saw her small movements, and the smile at the corners of his mouth gradually widened. If she was not arranged by his uncle, he might not hate her so much.

Sophia didn't turn her head all the time and kept looking at the scenery outside the window. After turning many corners, the car entered a villa area. After turning several corners, they finally stopped in front of a villa.

She looked out of the window and was slightly stunned. The originally closed golden door slowly opened when the car approached, and the car went straight in. Before the car stopped, the servants in white came out of the house and stood in two rows to welcome them. All of a sudden, she felt it was so exaggerated that she wanted to laugh.

Of course, if she laughed at this moment, it would undoubtedly bring her trouble, so she tried her best to restrain herself and followed him into the house expressionlessly under the welcome of the servants.

"Ethan, finally you are back." As soon as they entered the room, a man more than 50 year old with gray hair came over to them with a smile. "If you don't come back, your mother will send someone over."

"Uncle!" Ethan greeted him politely.

The old man in front of him was the only person in the family Sophia had seen before. He sat in the first row at the wedding ceremony and was also the only person in Ethan's family attended the wedding.

"Sophia, how are you getting along with Ethan?" His eyes fell on Sophia next to Ethan, and the smile on his face suddenly became bright.

Sophia found it difficult to answer this question. Of course, Ethan and she didn't get along well with each other. But now as he had asked, she couldn't say anything bad, so she had to change the topic.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle!" She greeted after Ethan respectfully.

Cook Firman. The smile on Firman's face became brighter when he heard Sophia call him uncle. He said in a low voice, "Nice to meet you. What a good child."

Looking at his gentle and loving smile, Sophia couldn't help smiling. He was just like her image imagined father.

But all of this seemed to have a special meaning in Ethan's eyes. He firmly believed that there was a special relationship between his uncle and the girl called Sophia. According to what he had found out at that time, his uncle didn't seem to know her. Then the only possibility was that Sophia had been bribed by his uncle.

"Ethan!" Suddenly, a gentle voice came to their ears. Sophia looked up and saw a very elegant and beautiful woman standing on the stairs.

"Mom!" With a smile on his cold face, Ethan walked towards his mother. And the woman on the stairs also walked towards him with a big smile on her face.

She didn't expect that Ethan, who always had a cold face, could be so gentle. He was just a bad guy to her and a good child before his mother.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" He asked with concern. Although he knew that his mother was not hospitalized for any sudden disease and he was not allowed to visit her, he still had to say so.

The woman, who was called mother by Ethan, gently held Ethan's arm and even smoothed his clothes. "Look at you. You are only busy with your work. You are thinner."

"I asked you to live with me, but you refused. You insisted on staying in this old house. I miss you every day. How can I not lose weight?" Ethan acted like a spoiled child when he spoke. Sophia was shocked.

"You have your own hobbies and time. If I live with you, I can't help but say a few words unpleasant to you. It will be embarrassing if I have to go back when I'm hated by you." His mother joked with him with a big smile on her face.

What a warm scene of mother and son! She once had it. Although she was not rich at that time, she always felt happy every day when she was with her mother.
