His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 188: Playing Hard to Get

When Kiana Sutton’s gift was unveiled, everyone’s eyes lit up.

"Wow, this helmet is so cool!"

"Is this the chibi version of Quinn? So cute and adorable."

Quinn Sinclair held the helmet lovingly and asked Kiana Sutton excitedly, "Sis-in-law, is this for me?"

Kiana nodded; she wasn’t sure what gift to give Quinn. Knowing Quinn loved motorcycles, she thought of the helmet.

This helmet was custom-made. When the shop asked what design was needed, she thought about it and drew a chibi version of Quinn on the helmet—cool and stylish with a thumbs-up—and wrote the word "Quinn" on it.

The meaning was that this helmet belonged to Quinn Sinclair, hoping it would keep her safe.

This gift might seem cheap compared to branded cars or motorcycles, but it was full of heart.

"Ah... I love this gift so much, thank you, Sis-in-law, I love you, mwah!"

Quinn excitedly kissed Kiana on the cheek and then took out her phone to start taking pictures to post on social media.

Kiana also took out her phone to glance at it and noticed Connor Grant had sent her several WeChat messages.

"Young Madam, rest assured, I will definitely keep an eye on The Fifth Master."

"Reporting to Young Madam, Miss Lynch gave The Fifth Master a watch as a birthday gift."

"Reporting to Young Madam, The Fifth Master seems to be in a bad mood and hasn’t really talked to Miss Lynch, rest assured, as long as I’m here, I won’t let them do anything improper under my nose!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Kiana couldn’t help but smile, but soon her smile faded.

Ethan Sinclair was in the same car with Kate Lynch and even received a birthday gift from the woman he adored—how could he not be happy?

Varden City was a five-hour drive from Rhyolite Peaks, and Ethan had never felt time go by so slowly.

Especially after seeing Quinn’s social media post showing Kiana surrounded by several boys and girls, and Quinn kissing her, Ethan became increasingly anxious and irritable.

Finally reaching the destination, Ethan got off the car to see Kiana laughing happily with others—his expression turned even darker.

Rhyolite Peaks only had tent hotels nearby, and Connor had already booked tents in advance.

When distributing tents, everyone paired by themselves, two people per tent.

Ethan got a tent to himself, while Quinn pulled Kiana to the tent furthest from Ethan’s.

Kiana was puzzled, so Quinn hugged her waist and whispered, "Sis-in-law, you’ve been too good to my brother before. My brother knows you love him and thinks you can’t leave him, that’s why he’s so arrogant and complacent."

Sensing a sharp and icy gaze fixed on her, like needles on her back, Quinn shivered.

Without turning around, she knew Ethan was glaring at her. She braced herself and continued, "We need to play some push-and-pull games to make those jerk men completely devoted."

Kiana didn’t dare agree with Quinn’s idea.

Push-and-pull is based on mutual interest, Ethan detests her, and surely wishes she’d stay far away.

However, she indeed didn’t want to be too close to Ethan now, to avoid seeing him flirt with Kate and revealing a jealous and resentful face uncontrollably.

Today isn’t just Ethan’s birthday; it’s also Quinn’s birthday, and they rarely get to have fun together—she certainly didn’t want to ruin the mood.

Kate’s tent was next to Ethan’s, they could whisper at night, Kate was quite happy, but upon seeing Ethan’s gaze fixed on Kiana’s back, a hint of frost flashed in her eyes.

It’s not her illusion!

Ethan indeed sees Kiana differently now.

Damn it, why?

He clearly lost his memory, why would he fall for Kiana again!

What’s so good about that woman?

Sitting down, it was time for dinner. Due to the long journey, no one had much appetite.

But at the thought of stargazing, everyone became spirited.

Rhyolite Peaks had an observatory. Standing on it to look at stars, the view was vast, as if you could reach out and touch the sky.

When the group arrived at the observatory, it was already past ten o’clock at night.

The sky was full of stars, like bright diamonds densely embedded in the dark night’s curtain; the Milky Way stretched across the starry sky like a glowing white ribbon.

When gazing at the starry sky, hearts were tranquil, and everyone couldn’t help but express their pleasure, with smiles on their faces.

Kiana was no exception—she’d loved stars since she was young, and could see them when staying at her grandma’s house.

Ever since moving to Varden City, even if there were stars, they were sparse, and finally, she could see a vast stellar river today.

"Look, there’s a meteor!"

At that moment, meteors seemed to have agreed to perform for everyone, competing to fall.

"Make a wish!"

I don’t know who shouted, but everyone clasped their hands and closed their eyes.

Although a few people separated Ethan and Kiana, it didn’t prevent Ethan from seeing her clearly.

She closed her eyes sincerely, not knowing what wish she was making.

Ha...

Naive humans love to put their hopes on such elusive things.

Kate also made a wish, "I wish Ethan could always love me."

When she finished making her wish and opened her eyes, she saw Ethan gazing up at the sky, his profile handsome and refined, with a noticeable sexy Adam’s apple.

Unlike others who were making wishes, he just quietly watched the stars with no expression, yet this made him even more attractive.

Kate was staring at him.

Until someone suddenly bumped into her, causing her to collide with Ethan.

"Sorry, Miss Lynch, I didn’t do it on purpose."

Kate laughed and shook her head, "It’s alright, the starry sky is just too mesmerizing."

"Yes, yes, I’ve never seen such a beautiful starry sky."

Kate no longer paid attention to him but turned to Ethan, "Aren’t you making a wish, Ian?"

"No need, my wish, I’ll achieve myself."

Ethan only believes that humans can conquer nature; he never puts hope on others or anything else.

Kate’s eyes slightly shifted; this means Ethan really does have a wish.

"Can you tell me your wish? Maybe I can help you realize it?"

His wish?

He lacks nothing; now, he only hopes the mysteries that have puzzled him can be solved.

If possible, he wishes he could regain his memory.

Although he never mentioned it, he feels that the lost memories are extremely important to him.

Important enough that he must find ways to recall them no matter what.

"I have no wish."

Kate didn’t know whether Ethan genuinely had no wishes or didn’t want to share them, but she wouldn’t let such a good chance slip by.

"I do have quite a few wishes—I hope my brother is happy and joyful in the world beyond. I wish for my parents and sister to be healthy. And I hope Ethan..."

Kate gazed at Ethan affectionately, her eyes full of undisguised love, "I hope you will always be happy and even more, that I could muster the courage to pursue my love."
