Chapter 62
“But Aunt, how did you figure out Ethan’s identity?” She had originally planned to tell them this time, but they seemed to have known all along. “You accidentally revealed yourself. I knew since the day Ethan first came over, otherwise, how could I trust him and let you go to A City alone? That mother–daughter duo has been eyeing you like a hawk, only with Ethan’s status would I trust him to protect you. And Ethan even showed me a property transfer document, half of his wealth is now yours. Although I am not a gold digger, I’ve always understood that a marriage needs a solid financial base, especially in your unique situation.”
Izzy was shocked! Half of Ethan’s wealth? That amount was beyond her imagination.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to describe what she was feeling. He had transferred half of his wealth to her without letting her know. They had only met a few times back then, was this him being overly confident, or was it his trust in her?
She wasn’t just rich, she had become a millionaire.
“Didn’t Ethan tell you about this?”
Izzy shook her head, tasting the sweetness in her heart, “He never mentioned it.” He would call her aunt and uncle, and secretly transfer half of his wealth to her name. What else had he done behind her back?
Rita patted Izzy on her shoulder, and said earnestly, “Izzy, live a good life with Ethan. I can tell he’s a good guy.”
Izzy looked at Rita and said seriously, “Aunt, I know, I’ve never treated marriage as a game.”
“That’s good.”
After a long catch up, they finally stopped when Ethan called them for dinner. After dinner, Zander and Rita rested in the room while Izzy pulled Ethan into the master bedroom, which took him by surprise.
“What are you up to, Izzy? You missed me?”
Izzy looked at the man in front of her with a slight smirk on his face, and for some reason, she felt a sting in her eyes and rubbed them.
Ethan noticed her sad expression and gently stroked her eyes when he saw them turning red, “What’s wrong?”
“Ethan, you didn’t have to transfer half of your wealth to me.” This was his pre–marital property, according to current marriage laws, even if they divorce in the future, these properties have nothing to do with her. But if he transferred all his properties to her, it meant something different.
Ethan sighed in relief, “Silly girl, I thought it was something serious. It turns out it’s just about this.”
“This is not a ‘small issue.” Only the man in front of her could treat this as a small issue, this was half of his net worth! How could he be so generous?
Ethan pulled Izzy to sit next to him and said seriously, “Izzy, I married you and I don’t plan on ever getting divorced. It doesn’t matter whose name the property is in, if this can show my sincerity for this marriage, why wouldn’t I do it? Do you still have second thoughts?”
“Of course not.” Izzy said firmly.
“Then why are you bringing this up? Are you still treating me like an outsider?” Ethan patiently coaxed.
“No.”
Ethan smiled, his extremely charming eyes twinkled with starlight, “That’s good then, it’s all ours anyway.”
“Ethan…” Izzy didn’t know what to say, her emotions were complicated and couldn’t be expressed in words.
“Shh.” Ethan gently put his finger on Izzy’s lips, “Izzy, don’t say anything. In my heart, you deserve all of this.” He didn’t know why, but, he was sure. Izzy was startled, then smiled helplessly. This man, why was he always able to so easily stir her emotions? Ethan looked at her rosy lips, picked her up by the waist, and gently kissed her. The hot kiss was full of love as he gently wrapped her tongue around hers.
Romance filled the room.
Izzy didn’t know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she felt sore all over. Thinking about what had happened not too long ago, spending the day with Ethan in such a way made her feel hot and restless. A large hand was tightly wrapped around her waist, every time she moved, he would hold her tighter. He was obviously already awake.
“Ethan, what time is it?”
“It’s almost five o’clock, you can lie down a little longer and then we can get ready to leave.” When Izzy and Ethan came out of the bedroom, Rita and Zander were watching TV in the living room. Facing their gaze, Izzy’s face turned red, always feeling that they knew what she and Ethan had just done. Ethan whispered in her ear, “Don’t be shy, they will understand. Besides, our room is soundproof.” She didn’t speak, but once he did, Izzy became even more uneasy and could only glare at Ethan again.
