Untamed Charming Wife

At night, The Obsidian Club was splendidly lit. Entry required a membership card personally issued by the club owner. This absolutely secure environment attracted many wealthy patrons, and tonight, the most luxurious private room at The Obsidian Club had been reserved for the most distinguished guest.

Jack sat down on the sofa next to Ethaniel, holding a glass of wine, and lazily smiled, “I pushed aside all my engagements to accompany you, and this is the face you show me?”

“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to look,” Ethaniel replied coldly.

Jack shrugged, “Alright, since you’re in a bad mood, I won’t hold it against you. Want to go downstairs and play a few rounds?”

The Obsidian Club was not only a high-end clubhouse but also a private casino.

Ethaniel coldly declined Jack’s invitation, “Not interested.”

“Then what are you interested in?” Jack adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, smiling. “Kayla, perhaps?”

Ethaniel’s slender fingers tightened, and he frowned, “Don’t mention her in front of me.”

“What? Are you here to drown your sorrows because of her?” Jack saw through the irritation in Ethaniel’s eyes. “That’s not like you. Aren’t you the one who always gets what you want, no matter the cost or means? And now you can’t even handle a simple young policewoman?”

Despite his friend’s mockery, Ethaniel didn’t get angry. His gaze fell on the wine glass in his hand, and he said lightly, “She’s afraid of me.”

“Afraid of you?” Jack genuinely laughed, “If she were afraid of you, she wouldn’t have dared to cuff you and take you back to the station. That little woman doesn’t know the meaning of fear.”

Slowly swirling the dark red liquid in his glass, Ethaniel’s usually indifferent purple eyes darkened, “She’s afraid that my feelings for her aren’t like hers for me. She’s afraid I’ll treat her like her father did, playing with her emotions.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Wait,” Jack looked at him curiously, “What do you mean, your feelings for her aren’t like hers for you?”

Ethaniel’s beautiful thin lips tightened, and he said calmly, “She likes me.”

“Oh, that’s normal. With your looks and status, it’s hard for any woman not to like you.”

“But I haven’t said I like her.” That was the key point. If he admitted it, Kayla wouldn’t hesitate.

Jack laughed as if he had heard a joke, “You’re not an ordinary person. ‘Like’ is too childish. Even if you get bored one day, you won’t treat her badly. She’s overthinking it.”

“You also think that’s my plan?” After Jack’s words, Ethaniel’s previously indifferent gaze slowly swept over.

Jack’s hand, which had been about to drink, paused. He looked at Ethaniel strangely, “Don’t tell me you’re serious?”

Ethaniel neither admitted nor denied it.

“How serious are you about her?” Jack truly hadn’t expected Ethaniel to be serious about Kayla.

“I want her to be my woman.”

“That doesn’t count as serious. Money can solve that.”

Ethaniel didn’t question his friend’s words, his thin lips barely moving, “I also want her to be Ollie’s mom.”

“Poof-” Jack choked on his drink, coughing low for a long time, looking at Ethaniel in disbelief, “You want her to be Ollie’s mom, you’re going to marry her?!”

“Is that not possible?” Ethaniel glanced over coolly, his deep purple eyes calm as an abyss.

“It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just unrealistic! Have you considered the family’s opposition to you marrying Kayla? And you have to think about Ollie too. Even if you don’t have much affection for him, he was born after all.”

When Oliver was born, Ethaniel hadn’t even looked at him. If not for the issue of inheritance, Oliver might not have been born safely.

Ethaniel had never shown Oliver much warmth. Luckily, Oliver was smart and sensible; otherwise, the child would likely have psychological issues.

Ethaniel understood Jack’s point, but he didn’t argue. He simply said, “Ollie will always be my son, and Ollie likes Kayla.”

“Even if Ollie likes her, your statuses are too different. The likelihood of you marrying her is almost zero.” Jack bluntly poured cold water on him.

Ethaniel wasn’t affected by Jack’s words. He seemed to realize something, “… So that’s it.”

Even Jack believed they couldn’t be together, so that foolish girl must think the same.

She didn’t trust herself, had no confidence in him, no wonder she was so fixated on hearing him say he liked her.

From her perspective, if he was serious, he would say it. But since he didn’t, she naturally thought he was just playing around. As Jack said, once he got bored, he could leave her some money and walk away.

Ethaniel stopped thinking about it. His face showed unprecedented calmness, his purple eyes narrowing slightly. He had already made a major decision in his heart!
