His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left Chapter 196: Face-Slapping Comes Too Fast

Kiana Sutton was a bit surprised. Didn’t Ethan Sinclair dislike Joshua? Why would he accompany her to see Joshua off?

And, didn’t Ethan have a very important eting this morning?

Just as Kiana Sutton was about to gesture, Ethan Sinclair already pulled her into the car.

"If you keep dawdling, you’ll have one less minute with your good brother."

Thinking it over, Kiana Sutton quickly got into the car.

At the airport, amid the bustling crowd, Kiana Sutton reached out and hugged Joshua Sutton. Her nose stung, and her eyes were warm.

Joshua Sutton was reluctant to part with Kiana Sutton too. He wanted to cry, but he held back.

Because if he cried, his crybaby sister might flood the airport.

He smiled to comfort Kiana Sutton, "Sister, don’t be sad. I’m just going abroad to study; it’s not like I’m not coming back."

Kiana Sutton nodded, took out the scarf and gloves she had knitted long ago, and placed them in Joshua’s hands.

"You’re going abroad, and I didn’t know what gift to give you. I personally knitted this scarf and gloves; they’re a bit ugly, so don’t dislike them."

Joshua opened them to see, and the scarf was very soft, warming the heart.

"Sister, thank you. This winter definitely won’t be cold."

And as Ethan Sinclair saw those red scarf and gloves, his handso face instantly darkened.

Kiana Sutton had asured his hand for size, so he thought the gloves were for him. He had looked forward to it for a long ti, not expecting them to be for Joshua Sutton.

Damn it, the feeling of self-delusion is absolutely unpleasant.

The boarding announcent sounded once more. Kiana Sutton touched Joshua Sutton’s face, gestured reluctantly, "Once abroad, be sure to take care of yourself. If you lack anything or need anything, just send a ssage."

Joshua Sutton sniffed, "I know. I’m already grown up, don’t worry."

As he spoke, Joshua walked over to Ethan Sinclair and warned with a voice only they could hear, "You better treat my sister well, or Sean and I won’t let you off."

At this mont, Ethan Sinclair thought that the "Sean" Joshua ntioned was just a cousin from the Sutton Family, not taking it seriously.

His dark eyes fixed on the scarf in Joshua’s arms, becoming more piercing the longer he looked, "Take care of yourself and don’t cause trouble for your sister; that’s more important than anything."

Joshua snorted softly. When he looked back at Kiana Sutton, his face was full of warmth, "Sister, I need to board now; you both should hurry back."

Kiana Sutton nodded. For the sake of Joshua’s future, no matter how reluctant she was, they had to part.

A brief separation is for a better reunion.

Watching Joshua’s departing figure, Kiana Sutton realized that the little boy who always loved to run after her really had grown up.

Only when Joshua disappeared around the corner did Kiana Sutton fail to control her tears.

Ethan Sinclair was already in a foul mood, and seeing Kiana cry over another man only made him more irritable.

He took out a tissue and, not gently, wiped away Kiana’s tears, "That’s enough already! Crying so ugly and still not stopping!"

Kiana Sutton: "..."

Her doe-like eyes stared woefully at Ethan Sinclair as she sniffed. She was already so sad, yet he didn’t offer a single word of comfort, and even scolded her.

On the way back, Kiana Sutton was engrossed in the pain of parting with Joshua.

Ethan Sinclair was thoroughly irritated, and by the ti they reached the company building, Connor Grant sensibly got out of the car first.

Hearing the door close, Kiana realized the car had stopped. She composed herself briefly and was about to open the car door when Ethan Sinclair suddenly grabbed her.

Kiana was a bit surprised as she looked at him, eting Ethan’s dark and displeased handso face.

"Kiana Sutton, if one day, both your good brother and I fell into the water, who would you save first?"

Kiana Sutton: "..."

Aren’t both of them capable swimrs? They should just swim up by themselves; why would she need to jump in to save anyone?

Seeing that Kiana didn’t imdiately answer, Ethan’s expression grew even darker, "Is this question really that hard to answer?"

Kiana didn’t understand why Ethan suddenly acted this way, but as usual, she could only go along with him at this mont. So, she pointed at Ethan, "I’d save you first."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Master Sinclair’s expression improved significantly. Then, as if he recalled sothing, he continued, "Winter is coming. I need a pair of cotton gloves and a scarf, understand?"

Kiana was stunned; Ethan Sinclair never wore scarves. Plus, his gloves were the fingered kind, and cotton gloves aren’t practical for work.

Moreover, she couldn’t quite imagine what Ethan Sinclair would look like wearing cute cotton gloves.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Kiana quickly shook her head, not daring to object to him.

"Good that you understand; go get it done quickly."

The command issued by President Sinclair couldn’t be delayed. After work that day, Kiana went to the mall to buy a gray scarf and gloves, and that night she brought them to Ethan Sinclair’s room.

Ethan was sowhat incredulous as he looked at the bag, "Scarf and gloves?"

Kiana nodded.

"Already done so quickly?"

Kiana nodded again; buying them didn’t take too much ti.

Ethan considered that perhaps when Kiana was knitting a scarf for Joshua, she’d gained so proficiency and could finish it in a day.

He took the bag, pulled out the scarf and gloves...

Then, he saw the tags hanging on them with brand, size, and material clearly stated.

Never in his life had Ethan Sinclair felt so speechless.

The embarrassnt ca so swiftly, it almost compared to a tornado.

Good!

Very good!

She actually used store-bought scarves and gloves to fool him!

Seeing Ethan’s sinister smile, Kiana’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly gestured, "Don’t you like this color, or this style?"

The next second, Ethan threw the items back at her, which she instinctively caught, looking at him in confusion.

"Heh... You gave your brother hand-knitted items, but for , you went to the mall? And you said you’d save first if both your brother and I fell into the water. Kiana Sutton, do you really think I’m that easy to fool?"

Kiana was bewildered for quite a while, what was going on?

So Ethan didn’t want sothing bought, but rather sothing knitted?

Then why didn’t he just tell her directly?

At first, she wanted to knit a scarf for him, but feared he’d dislike it, so she went to the mall.

"Then... Shall I knit one for you?"

"Don’t bother!"

Kiana nodded; if there was no need, then forget it. She wasn’t inclined to put in the effort again.

Yet the rcurial Fifth Master beca unhappy once more, "I say ’don’t bother,’ and you actually stop?"

Kiana Sutton: "..."

Indeed, understanding a man’s heart is like fishing for needles at the bottom of the sea!
