When he asked the question, Bianca White glanced at him.
He rarely showed interest in such trivial matters, especially asking about it.
She suspected something was amiss, so she kept it in mind.
Grandma Steele said, "She went to the restroom. The poor girl is a bit nervous. She kept drinking water while talking to me. It was quite amusing."
Bianca walked over, wanting to see what the business card was.
Ethan turned his palm, hiding it from view.
His subconscious action, deliberately avoiding her, made Bianca uncomfortable.
But she couldn't lash out.
After the last incident, Grandma Steele had apologized to the White family, and it was all water under the bridge. Right now, what she needed to do was to maintain a good relationship with Ethan.
She didn't want to lose to that poor woman, Addison.
No matter what, she had to get Ethan.
In the restroom, Addison felt a slight pain in her stomach and sat there for a while.
The room was large and spacious, with good soundproofing.
The sounds outside were completely muffled.
Addison washed her hands and looked at herself in the mirror.
Ding-dong—
A message arrived on her phone.
Addison looked down and saw that it was from Ethan Steele: Where are you?
She paused.
Opening the message, she saw that there were very few messages in their chat. The last one was his: Answer my phone.
She had seen it earlier but hadn't replied.
She was taking time to process her emotions.
Now there was another message, which meant his patience was running out.
Addison bit her lip and chose to reply: I'm at the hospital with my mother.
After sending the message, Addison opened the door and went out.
There were more people in the living room.
It was lively.
She recognized Bianca White's voice.
Addison paused.
For a moment, her mind went blank.
Was it really such a coincidence?
The grandmother she had saved was from the White family?
The next moment, a dark, cold gaze fell on her.
Addison's eyes flickered.
She saw Ethan Steele sitting on the sofa, holding his phone.
Addison stood in the dimly lit corridor.
Blending in with the vases and scenery.
But Ethan noticed her at a glance.
Their eyes met.
Addison felt like she was dreaming.
... Who exactly was Grandma Steele?
"Addison, why aren't you coming over?" Grandma Steele called out.
Addison snapped out of it.
She walked out with difficulty, seeing a room full of familiar faces.
It felt like a thief discovering that the owner of the house was a relative.
