His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 116: Deliberately Leaning Into Ethan Sinclair’s Embrace

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Deliberately Leaning Into Ethan Sinclair’s Embrace

This rain had been falling for several days now, and with Ethan Sinclair paving the way, Kate Lynch naturally didn’t have to worry about her entertainment career.

She successfully signed a contract with Stellar Entertainment, and on the same day, Stellar’s Weibo made an official announcement about her. A bunch of celebrities reposted it, and she was hailed as the current little princess of Stellar, making quite a splash online.

But Kiana Sutton was in a bad situation. After being kicked by Ethan Sinclair in the waist last time, she was left with complications.

Whenever it rains or the weather gets cold, she finds it easy to feel pain.

Lately, with the rainy season, sometimes the pain was so bad she couldn’t even straighten her back.

Especially at work, sitting was uncomfortable, standing was also uncomfortable, and the pain was unbearable.

Ethan Sinclair had been out and about with Nathan Lawson these past few days, occasionally coming to the company, but always leaving in a hurry, treating Kiana Sutton as if she were invisible.

Kiana Sutton’s role as an assistant was quite relaxed.

She got a high salary but had no tasks, so she could only draw comics.

Fortunately, after the comic was serialized, it gained significant popularity, and Kiana Sutton was recognized by the editor-in-chief, which boosted her confidence in her creative skills.

The phone started ringing with a "ding ding ding," and when Kiana Sutton picked it up, she saw it was a WeChat message from Nathan Lawson.

"Assistant Sutton, there’s a document on the president’s desk. Could you send it to The Imperial Kitchen?"

When work came, Kiana Sutton was quite happy.

At least it made her feel like she wasn’t taking the salary for nothing.

If the president’s office was empty, the door was usually locked.

But as Ethan Sinclair’s president and secretary, both Kiana Sutton and Nathan Lawson could enter her office.

While looking for the document, Kiana Sutton accidentally touched the mouse on the desk.

The screen lit up instantly, and a glance made her pause.

This screensaver...

Why did it look so much like the Starlight she drew during her university years?

"Ding ding..."

The phone rang again.

"Did you find it?"

"Found it, found it!"

Kiana Sutton didn’t think much, grabbed the documents, and quickly left the office.

When she arrived at The Imperial Kitchen, her waist hurt again.

She had just taken a painkiller in the morning, but how did the effect wear off so quickly?

Kiana Sutton took out her phone and sent a message to Nathan Lawson, "Secretary Lawson, I’ve arrived. Where are you?"

Before long, Nathan Lawson arrived.

After Nathan Lawson took the document, Kiana Sutton couldn’t help but ask, "Is President Sinclair okay?"

"Today’s business partner was a bit tricky, and President Sinclair drank quite a bit."

Kiana Sutton nodded, and Nathan Lawson looked at her pale complexion, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

After nodding towards Kiana Sutton, he went upstairs with the documents.

Kiana Sutton sighed lightly, just about to leave, when she bumped into Kate Lynch, who rushed in.

Kate Lynch seemed surprised to see Kiana Sutton there, and after a moment, she smiled, "Miss Sutton, long time no see. Are you here to see Ian too?"

"Too?"

Does that mean Kate Lynch was here to see Ethan Sinclair?

"I just got a call from Ian. He seems to have gotten drunk and insisted on me coming to pick him up. Luckily, I was nearby; otherwise, this heavy rain would have made it really hard to get here quickly."

Seeing Kiana Sutton’s face as pale as paper, Kate Lynch intentionally said, "If I had known he also asked you to pick him up, I wouldn’t have come."

Kiana Sutton clenched her fist tightly, feeling her chest blocked, and with her waist aching, she felt pain throughout her body.

Her husband got drunk and asked his first love to pick him up, not wanting to see her, his wife.

Kiana Sutton could lose her composure in front of anyone, but she couldn’t lose it in front of Kate Lynch. She lightly smiled and gestured, "Then I’ll leave President Sinclair to you."

Whether Kate Lynch understood the sign language or not, after finishing her gestures, she turned to leave, only to be stopped by Kate Lynch.

"Wait..."

Kiana Sutton stopped in her tracks and looked at Kate Lynch.

Kate Lynch smiled at her and said, "Miss Sutton, although your father caused my vegetative state for three years, I’ve heard from Ian that during those three years, you kept giving me blood transfusions."

Kiana Sutton’s body stiffened, her face turning even more unsightly.

"I understand Ian’s temper very well, and I imagine you haven’t had it easy these past three years. But I’m someone who distinguishes between gratitude and grievances. Your father harmed me, and he’s in jail atoning for that. But because you gave me blood, I’ll give you some advice."

Kate Lynch’s smile grew more radiant, "If you want to live a stable life, you’d better divorce Ian. You should know that Ian doesn’t love you. You rely on the old lady’s favor, pressing Ian down. Sooner or later, Ian will retaliate. And when that happens, it’ll be hard for you to retreat unscathed."

Pausing, Kate continued, "Moreover, the old lady may support you now, but if she really has to choose between Ian and you, she’ll definitely pick Ian. Having parents like yours will only become a stain on Ian’s life. I’m different, I can add sparkle to his life."

After saying that, Kate Lynch walked arrogantly upstairs.

Kiana Sutton watched Kate Lynch’s smug and confident back, trembling all over.

Kate Lynch’s words weren’t advice but a blow and a declaration of war.

Yet she knew all too well that Kate Lynch’s words were true.

It wasn’t any external reason that made her and Ethan Sinclair’s marriage unable to continue. It was simply because Ethan Sinclair didn’t love her, which was enough to defeat her completely.

But she absolutely couldn’t divorce now. First, she still loved Ethan Sinclair, and as long as Ethan didn’t bring up divorce, she would never initiate it.

Second, if they got divorced, her chance to see her father would become rarer and rarer. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Most importantly, she needed to use the time she still had at the Sinclair Family to investigate the truth about the kidnapping case three years ago and clear her father’s name.

With that thought, Kiana Sutton left The Imperial Kitchen.

On rainy days and during rush hour, it was hard to get a taxi.

Kiana Sutton stood at the intersection for quite some time but couldn’t hail a cab.

Then she saw Kate Lynch helping Ethan Sinclair out of The Imperial Kitchen.

Ethan Sinclair was evidently very drunk, hanging entirely on Kate Lynch.

Kate Lynch had one hand holding Ethan Sinclair’s arm and the other around his waist, gently and cautiously reminding him, "Ian, be careful."

Once down the stairs, Kate Lynch noticed Kiana Sutton. She deliberately leaned her face into Ethan Sinclair’s embrace, acting intimately close.

Kiana Sutton felt a choke in her chest and quickly looked away.

Connor Grant drove up, helped Ethan Sinclair into the car, and Nathan Lawson sat in the passenger seat, while Kate Lynch and Ethan Sinclair sat in the back.

As the car started driving away, Kate Lynch suddenly acted like she just discovered Kiana Sutton and said in surprise, "Hey, isn’t that Miss Sutton? She seems to have not gotten a taxi yet. It’s hard to get one at this hour; we should give her a ride."
