When Ethan Sterling got ho, Naomi Sinclair was "teasing" Leon Sterling in the living room. Although Leon maintained a smile, every word was clearly dismissive, and seeing his big brother walk in was like seeing a savior.
Lately, he couldn’t stand Ethan, but Naomi surprisingly changed Ethan’s image in his mind.
Leon nearly jumped up from the sofa, "I’ll go to the kitchen to help Ruby."
"Hey..." Naomi wrinkled her nose, leaned on the sofa in a huff, glanced sideways at Ethan, "Do you know your brother’s ideal type?"
"It’s definitely not like you." Ethan sat down on the sofa and poured her a cup of tea.
Naomi scoffed indifferently and suddenly grinned slyly, "Do you know your mom is dating my dad?" She said, raising her thumbs in a gesture of praise.
Ethan looked at her expressionlessly, "I know my mom has a new friend, but I didn’t know it was your dad. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have provoked you."
Naomi took a sip of water, "It’s useless to approach my dad; my brother is the one running the company. By the way, The Lawson Group has already fallen into the trap; several subsidiaries are in trouble. If headquarters wants to save them, they’ll have to shell out big money, so it’ll probably be a while before they can consider market expansion."
Ethan finally showed a bit of a smile, "Thanks a lot."
"No need just yet; how long it can be delayed still depends on my subsequent actions. But for now, I can guarantee that you can wait until Christmas for your new product launch." She suddenly rembered the third Sinclair brother and said seriously, "Absolutely don’t let Old Sinclair know I’m helping you; otherwise, I won’t just stop helping, I’ll make your company look bad!"
Ethan knew she was true to her word and imdiately nodded, "No problem." Having said that, he got up, "I’m going out to greet soone."
Before he could move, Vivian brought the third Sinclair brother in. It was hot outside, and she was very afraid that ultraviolet rays would age her skin. At this age, keeping the skin in good condition requires living more exquisitely than young people.
"Mr. Sinclair." Ethan was rarely respectful.
Even though he had already taken over The Sterling Group when the third Sinclair brother was in power, he had never t him, only heard about so of his deeds, each one like a legend in the martial world. It’s said that Old Sinclair still has influence in the underworld.
"Just call the third uncle." The third uncle nodded cheerfully, then saw his daughter winking at him, causing the hairs on his back to stand up instantly and his expression to beco extrely stiff.
Naomi got up and took his arm, "Dad, co sit with ."
The third uncle began to sweat coldly, grinning, "Just call Old Man, when you call Dad, it makes a little uncomfortable."
Vivian laughed, "It’s quite a nice title, shows that you have a great father-daughter relationship."
"Yes, that’s why he introduces every girlfriend to ." Naomi giggled.
The third uncle beca entirely stiff, sitting perfectly upright on the sofa, almost foreseeing his tragic fate.
Vivian laughed heartily, "Co on, tell about your dad’s romantic history; it sounds fascinating." With that, she sat beside Naomi.
Seeing this, Ethan said with a smile, "Third uncle, I heard you like playing Go. How about we go upstairs and have a ga?"
The third uncle hesitated for a mont and then exhaled, "Alright then."
Naomi considerately told her dad, "I’ll co up to call you when dinner’s ready."
The third uncle really felt that the more respectful his daughter spoke, the more his heart trembled. Last ti she called him Dad, his little girlfriend had a miscarriage and beca infertile for life. And another ti, she was so considerate and gave him a bottle of vintage wine, but he got cheated on a few days later.
Taking a sigh with every step, the third uncle estimated that this girlfriend he hadn’t yet won over might be dood too.
On the tatami, Ethan set up a tea table and placed the Go board. Seeing the third uncle looking worried, Ethan took advantage of the ga to ask, "Are you worried Naomi will speak indiscreetly to my mom?"
Shaking his head, the third uncle replied, "It’s no use worrying about that; I’m just... a bit sad." After saying that, he smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, my children were so afraid I would have an illegitimate child, they forced to have a vasectomy ten years ago."
Ethan was surprised; he hadn’t expected such an explosive topic right off the bat.
"I’m kind of afraid of this daughter." he added.
So, although it was said to be forced, it only took a word from Naomi Sinclair.
Ethan thought of Honey, "Fathers with daughters are helpless; it seems like giving them the whole world still isn’t enough."
"Honey is adorable; you’re lucky."
"I just hope she grows up healthy."
The third uncle nodded, "Actually, sotis what the doctors say doesn’t have to be believed entirely; the human body is amazing, and maybe once she grows up, the illness will heal by itself."
Ethan smiled bitterly, "Let’s hope." If he hadn’t experienced such pain himself, he might have believed in such miracles too.
At the mont, Honey is only experiencing capillary rupture, but once it progresses to internal bleeding... he dared not think further.
"I heard Naomi is really pursuing you?" The third uncle suddenly changed the subject; before, he really didn’t know Vivian was Ethan’s mom. Although he had heard of this young man.
Ethan was montarily embarrassed, unsure how to respond to this, then after thinking it over, he said, "She might have shifted her attention to my brother today."
"Is that so?" The third uncle asked in disbelief, paused, then sowhat sheepishly said, "Ah... ashad, in this aspect, she might’ve inherited my genes."
Ethan blinked, even more unsure of how to continue the conversation, so he silently placed a stone on the board.
"Oh, not bad." The third uncle smiled, finally shifting his focus to the Go board.
In the living room, Naomi and Vivian were talking animatedly. Initially discussing various romances of the third Sinclair brother, the conversation had morphed into how she exposed those affairs, then moved to recently popular idol dramas, and onto newly debuted idol groups.
Naomi felt Vivian was her true bosom friend!
"What to do, I suddenly really want you to marry my dad!" she said sincerely.
Vivian laughed heartily, "I’m afraid I’ll have to decline, I don’t want to marry your dad one bit."
Why should she marry a fool who only likes twenty-year-old girls? She wasn’t a fool.
Naomi gave her a thumbs-up, "Wise choice; I really feel my dad isn’t good enough for you. Can I co hang out with you then?"
"Of course." Vivian imdiately took out her phone and swapped contact details with her.
After they added each other as friends, Naomi looked at her phone, eyes suddenly sparkling, "Can you also give Don’s contact info?"
"No problem." Vivian readily found Leon Sterling’s phone number for her, "This one’s for use in Gallia, and this one’s dostic." Truly a thorough betrayal of her son.
