His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 3: Weren’t You Pretty Bold Climbing Into My Bed Last Night?
"Miss Lynch’s physical condition is not bad, but as for when she will wake up, we can’t give an accurate time yet. It could be a month or two, it could be two or three years, or even..."
The doctor stopped when he saw the dark and terrifying expression on Ethan Sinclair’s face.
"Take good care of Kate, contact me immediately if anything happens." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Alright."
Without Ethan Sinclair’s permission, Kiana Sutton didn’t dare leave on her own. Besides, she still needed Ethan Sinclair to arrange for her father to receive medical treatment outside of prison.
As soon as Ethan Sinclair went downstairs, he saw Kiana Sutton sitting on a chair, dozing off.
Her complexion seemed even paler, and she looked very frail, appearing small and pitiful as she sat in the chair.
Pitiful?
Hah... How could Ethan Sinclair find such a scheming woman like Kiana Sutton to be pitiful?
Kiana Sutton seemed to sense Ethan Sinclair’s arrival and looked up.
Once she confirmed it was Ethan Sinclair, she stood up abruptly like a startled bird, standing straight as if she were a student being punished by a teacher.
Ethan Sinclair’s handsome brow furrowed tightly. Was he really that scary?
Hmph... Last night when she climbed into his bed, she didn’t seem to lack courage.
"I’m going to meet with a business partner, come along with me."
Kiana Sutton was a bit surprised. Ever since she married Ethan Sinclair, his grandmother had arranged for her to work in the company as Ethan Sinclair’s personal secretary.
Because of this, Ethan Sinclair grew increasingly displeased with Kiana Sutton.
As his so-called personal secretary, she was in charge of his daily necessities.
Ethan Sinclair rarely took Kiana Sutton out when negotiating business deals. Who knew what he was thinking today?
As soon as they got in the car, Ethan Sinclair began working.
As a CEO who practically oversees the lifeline of Varden’s economy, he was extremely busy.
After a while, Ethan Sinclair glanced at Kiana Sutton.
Seeing her wearing a short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, Ethan Sinclair frowned slightly, "Are you out of money? Wearing such shabby clothes?"
Kiana Sutton was just about to gesture, but Ethan Sinclair had already looked away, as if even looking at her one more time would make him feel sick.
Kiana Sutton lowered her eyes silently. Her marriage to Ethan Sinclair was a secret, and everyone thought she had married into wealth, living a life of luxury and designer brands, getting anything she wanted.
In reality, all her income came from the meager salary the company paid her.
Every month, after her own expenses, she still had to provide living expenses for Hannah Lowell and Joshua Sutton.
Joshua Sutton was Kiana Sutton’s younger brother, currently in high school. Buying study materials and paying for tutoring sessions was a significant expense.
Where would she have the money to buy high-end, beautiful clothes?
Ethan Sinclair rarely went home and was completely unaware of these matters, and Kiana Sutton never mentioned them.
Moreover, Ethan Sinclair didn’t like her, so buying pretty clothes was pointless. She didn’t care about her attire anymore.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Nathan Lawson was already there waiting for them with a set of clothes.
Nathan Lawson was Ethan Sinclair’s chief secretary. If Kiana Sutton was in charge of Ethan Sinclair’s personal life, Nathan Lawson was in charge of his work matters.
Nathan Lawson, dressed in a black professional suit, hair pulled back into a ponytail, and bangs neatly slicked back, gave off a strict and serious aura.
With a formal expression, she handed the clothes to Kiana Sutton, "Secretary Sutton, it’s all on you today for President Sinclair."
Kiana Sutton glanced at Ethan Sinclair, who already looked impatient.
She quickly took the clothes and ran off to the restroom to change.
When Kiana Sutton came out, Ethan Sinclair gave her a casual glance. Nathan Lawson had prepared a goose-yellow dress, and on Kiana Sutton’s fair skin, it seemed to make her shine.
On her neck were still the marks from last night, where Ethan Sinclair had left them in anger.
Kiana Sutton’s face flushed red like a cooked shrimp. She didn’t carry makeup in her bag, so she had to brazenly borrow Nathan Lawson’s concealer to cover it up.
Even so, there was still a faint hint visible.
Ethan Sinclair’s eyes flashed momentarily before he looked away. "Let’s go."
When they reached the private room, there were already quite a few people inside.
Kiana Sutton didn’t know anyone, so she quietly stayed by Ethan Sinclair’s side.
"President Sinclair, good evening, we’ve been eagerly waiting for you."
The man greeted enthusiastically, feeling a bit uncomfortable when he noticed Ethan Sinclair was wearing gloves for the handshake.
This President Sinclair’s germaphobia really had become more severe.
The next second, when he saw Kiana Sutton, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, when did you get such a lovely lady by your side, President Sinclair?"
The speaker was President Langley of the Langley Group, and his gaze stuck to Kiana Sutton.
President Langley, used to extravagant and alluring women, found Kiana Sutton’s sweet and gentle demeanor all the more delightful.
Kiana Sutton felt uncomfortable under his blatant and sticky gaze. Instinctively, she leaned closer to Ethan Sinclair, hearing his lazy and detached laugh, "My secretary, last name Sutton."
Then, Ethan Sinclair turned to look at Kiana Sutton with a smile, "Secretary Sutton, this is President Langley."
Kiana Sutton nodded lightly at him.
Seeing that Kiana Sutton didn’t greet him, President Langley felt a bit displeased. "Secretary Sutton, do you think you’re too good for me? How come you won’t even speak to me?"
Kiana Sutton bit her lip, wanting to gesture but afraid President Langley wouldn’t understand.
At this moment, Ethan Sinclair spoke again, "Apologies, President Langley, Secretary Sutton is mute and can’t speak."
Feeling warmed by Ethan Sinclair’s protection, Kiana Sutton thought to herself. She couldn’t speak and wasn’t skilled at socializing.
But since Ethan Sinclair came personally to meet President Langley, it indicated he was quite important.
No, even if she couldn’t speak, she couldn’t let others think she was hard to get along with, especially since she was brought by Ethan Sinclair. Her every move would reflect on him.
Even though she couldn’t help Ethan Sinclair, she couldn’t cause him any trouble either.
For a mute person, Kiana Sutton could only express herself with a smile.
When Kiana Sutton smiled, her eyes curved, and she had adorable little dimples on her cheeks. Her teeth were white, neat, and cute.
Her smile was sincere and pure, melting hearts.
President Langley looked at Kiana Sutton and became even more excited, not feeling disdain because she was mute.
"Mute, huh? Mute is good! Mute is good!"
Seeing the smile on Kiana Sutton’s face, a strange displeasure and anger surged within Ethan Sinclair.
Soon after, Kiana Sutton was seated next to President Langley, while Ethan Sinclair sat opposite them.
Seeing Ethan Sinclair sit so far from her made Kiana Sutton feel somewhat uneasy.
What made her even more uneasy was President Langley beside her.
At first, President Langley behaved gentlemanly, but upon noticing Ethan Sinclair wasn’t concerned about his mute assistant, President Langley’s hand grew restless.
Kiana Sutton’s attention was always on Ethan Sinclair, so when President Langley’s hand touched her leg, she was startled and suddenly stood up!
