His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 172: How Can He Be So Cruel

Kiana Sutton’s words left Ethan Sinclair speechless.

Seeing her staring at him, Ethan let out a light snort, pressed forward, and pinned Kiana Sutton against the wall, "What? Are you blaming me for not paying attention to you in the past?"

Looking at Ethan’s handsome face so close to hers, the image of him putting a coat on Kate Lynch instantly flashed in Kiana’s mind.

Her expression grew uglier, and she suddenly pushed Ethan away.

Ethan’s handsome face immediately darkened.

Kiana’s heart was heavy with grief; despite her efforts to suppress her anger, some of it still leaked out.

"I don’t think that way, it’s getting late, I need to shower and rest."

Kiana’s words were akin to a dismissal order.

Although they were married, Ethan stayed in the master bedroom while she stayed in the secondary bedroom.

Though sometimes Ethan kept her up late, and they would sleep in the same bed, for the most part, they kept their distance.

After finishing her gestures, Kiana went straight to the wardrobe to take her pajamas.

She didn’t see Ethan’s expression at that moment, but she knew it must be very poor.

Because she felt the icy gaze fixed upon her, as if it would devour her.

Taking her pajamas, Kiana walked toward the bathroom; as she passed Ethan, her arm was suddenly yanked by him.

In the next moment, Ethan lifted her up by her waist.

Kiana was startled, frowned at Ethan, and struggled to gesture with her hands, "What are you doing? Put me down?"

"Aren’t you going to take a shower?"

Kiana struggled a bit.

What did her shower have to do with him?

Ethan gazing down at Kiana, smirked coolly, "I feel I didn’t clean myself well during my shower earlier, let’s go another round."

Kiana: "..."

Kiana was no match for Ethan. Before she could resist, she was placed into the bathtub by Ethan.

He unceremoniously tore off her clothes and lifted her hands above her head, pressing his cool lips strongly onto hers.

Warm water gradually flowed into the bathtub from the faucet, slowly submerging their bodies.

Usually, whenever Ethan wanted her, Kiana would cooperate with him regardless of discomfort.

But today, Kiana was uncooperative; Ethan didn’t know what was wrong with her. Feeling her resistance, his chest burned with anger, making his actions more intense.

Kiana was able to resist at first, but eventually sank completely.

Ethan always excelled in this area, able to break her defenses.

That night, Kiana didn’t even know how she fell asleep.

Anyway, upon waking the next morning, she felt sore and achy, as if she were about to fall to pieces.

Ethan was already gone, and when she got up, seeing her swollen lips and the marks all over her body in the mirror worsened her mood.

Indeed, he only saw her as an outlet for his frustrations!

Chelsea Chapman had already prepared breakfast when Kiana ate. Chelsea carried the laundry to the washroom while smiling at Kiana, "Young Madam, the sofa has been changed, do you like the color?"

Kiana glanced at the sofa; it was mint green, looking both fresh and elegant.

"The texture of the sofa is great, soft and comfortable, you should give it a try later."

Kiana’s expression turned sour; yesterday Ethan said he wanted to change the sofa, stirring her emotions, but now she only felt mocked.

Chelsea didn’t notice Kiana’s displeasure. Whenever Chelsea did the laundry, she always checked the pockets, finding a movie ticket in Ethan’s pocket, she promptly brought it to Kiana.

"Young Madam, I found this movie ticket in the Fifth Master’s pocket, hehe, did you have fun on your date with him last night?"

Chelsea’s cousin got married yesterday, she didn’t come back last night. She planned to prepare dinner yesterday morning, but Kiana said she was going to a movie and asked her not to bother.

Thinking Kiana went to the movies with Ethan, Chelsea’s words felt like salt in Kiana’s wounds, intensifying her heartache.

Especially upon seeing the movie ticket’s time and location, she felt even more mocked.

Last night, while waiting outside the cinema for Ethan, he watched the same movie in the same theater with Kate Lynch.

Seeing Kiana’s unsettled expression, Chelsea was puzzled, "Young Madam, what’s wrong?"

Kiana shook her head, forcing a smile, "It’s nothing."

"Oh... then please put this ticket back in the Fifth Master’s room."

Kiana didn’t get it.

Chelsea explained with a smile, "Whenever I do laundry for the Fifth Master, I never find anything in his pocket. This movie ticket has already been used, but he still brought it back, showing he values the time watching movies with you, cherishing it instead of tossing it away."

Chelsea meant well, trying to show Kiana that Ethan cherished her.

However, she got the person wrong, so her words pierced Kiana like a knife.

Kiana slipped the ticket back into Chelsea’s hand, gesturing, "I’m in a rush for work; you put it in his room yourself."

As Kiana turned to leave, Chelsea frowned in confusion.

What’s going on?

Why does it seem like the Young Madam is unhappy?

...

When Kiana arrived at the company, Ethan was not there.

As usual, when she went to clean Ethan’s office, she stumbled upon a movie ticket in the trash bin.

Quickly retrieving it, she saw it was the movie ticket and note she left for Ethan.

Apparently, he didn’t miss it but discarded it outright.

Not only was he aware she waited for him at the cinema, but he brought Kate Lynch to the same mall, the same theater, for the same film.

Why did he feign asking her whereabouts last night?

To see how miserable and ridiculous she was?

How could he be so heartless? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

That day, Ethan didn’t come to the company, nor did he send any message to Kiana.

Saturday morning, as Kiana just got up, Ethan’s message came through, "Pack up a bit, we’re attending a wedding today. Connor Grant will pick you up later."

Kiana took a deep breath; over the past three years, Ethan attended many events and gatherings but never invited her.

Why did he suddenly ask her to a wedding today?

What’s his game?

Despite her questions, Kiana had no choice but to heed Ethan’s command.

To avoid embarrassing Ethan, she specially dressed up.

Upon seeing Kiana, Connor’s eyes lit up, "Young Madam, you look truly beautiful today, why didn’t you wear the pearl necklace the Fifth Master gave you?"
