She came to her senses and gently pushed him away. She spoke, her face red with embarrassment: "People will see us."

"You mean…we can continue when we get back home?" he asked in a low, sexy voice. Kylie softly punched his chest and smiled. "I am going back. I still want to do some shopping."

"Okay." The man only said the one word, but Kylie could tell that he was shaken.

The elevator went up to the top floor, where the women's dresses were sold.

Ethan Parker took her arm and led her to a specific shop.

Kylie didn't think much about it; she simply followed him and generally looked around at the clothes in the shop.

She shook her head after looking at some of the clothes over. "These are not formal enough for those formal occasions, and they're a little too conservative for everyday life. I like simple clothes. The ones that make me feel comfortable."

He nodded. "You have enough clothes for formal occasions. But when you are going outside, you should wear more decent clothes."

"Are you saying that the clothes I usually wear aren't decent?" Kylie caught on to the keyword.

"People can see your belly button, waist, and butt. You call that decent?" Ethan Parker asked her.

Kylie rolled her eyes. Then why had he chosen to be with her?

He pointed at a blue dress in the closet. "Try that one."

"Ethan Parker!" Kylie crossed her arms in refusal.

She would not try it on! Decent? The whole back of the dress was made of lace…

But when she remembered the shopping bag in her hand, she lowered her arms in defeat. She had just forced him to try on something he didn't like, but he hadn't said anything.

If he can make a compromise for her, then she could listen to him just this once.

Kylie handed him the bag and carried the dress to the fitting room.

While she was changing, a man appeared behind Ethan Parker and said: "Lord Ethan, here you are. I thought you were dealing with some big cases."

Ethan Parker didn't even turn his head.

Knowing that he was being ignored, Nate Bass walked around to face Ethan. "Shouldn't you give me some compliments for today?"

Ethan Parker looked at him, and said coldly: "Forget about the proposal."

"My Lord. I want to die for you!" Nate Bass smiled and bowed. Then he looked at the fitting room and got extra close to Ethan Parker.

"Lord Ethan, what happened that night? Are you just going to continue watching her, as though you want to eat her alive?"

Ethan Parker continued to look cold and stiff. He just said: "Piss off."

But Nate Bass couldn't stop talking. "How can you continue to not do anything to her? I mean, look at her body. If it was me, I would do her right now."

After he said this, Ethan Parker's face froze up.

Then Kylie Finch came out of the fitting room.

Nate Bass saw that Kylie Finch was wearing a navy-blue dress. He was shocked. "Holy Cow, didn't you say that you wouldn't allow anyone around you ever to wear that color? What, are you looking for a…replacement?"

Kylie walked towards them and only heard Nate Bass's last words.

She was surprised to see him, and asked: "Who is looking for a replacement?"

Ethan Parker looked at Nate as though he would have liked to kill him. But Nate simply laughed and said: "You could never be someone's replacement. I said you look so perfect in this dress. Just perfect. You look marvelous."

Kylie rolled her eyes. "I don't buy it."

"I am just…speechless in front of you." He coughed in embarrassment and felt Ethan Parker's cold eyes on him.

She stood in front of the mirror. "What about it? Does it look good on me?"

Nate Bass was incapable of saying anything.

No matter from which angle, Kylie just didn't like the dress.

The saleswoman walked up to her, said: "Miss, your white skin is so bright and clear while wearing this dress. And look at the waist... It's perfect for you."

Kylie nodded, but said: "This color is…too high-profile."

"How so? People your age are still young. And your husband is such a handsome man. You should claim your ownership."

Kylie looked at Ethan and then looked down at the dress.

Nate looked in the mirror at her. His eyes suddenly opened wide.

He walked behind Kylie Finch and pointed at the crust of blood on her neck. "Oh My God, Lord Ethan, you really don't know how to eat a woman. Look at her! I'll send you a video for you to learn how."

Kylie followed his finger and saw the place where Ethan Parker had kissed her.

She blushed right away.

That wasn't a kiss mark, but it was hard to tell that from the outside. Still, hearing what Nate said, Kylie was embarrassed.

She covered her neck and stammered: "This is not… It's a mosquito bite."

"The mosquito is that big?" he asked, pointing at Ethan Parker.

Ethan looked at him sternly and said to Nate: "Get the fuck out of here."

"I am going to change my clothes." Then Kylie ran into the fitting room.

After Kylie was gone, Nate Bass raised his eyebrows and looked at Ethan Parker. "My sister loved you for so many years, and you totally ignored her. I thought you didn't love women. Now I'm relieved to see that you have tasted Kylie Finch."

Ethan Parker was furious.

But Nate ignored the expression on Ethan's face. He said: "You have made such progress the last few days, but you don't seem very happy. Does that mean…"

Ethan's hand had turned into a fist. Clearly, he was trying to hide something.

"So, you haven't told her about your secret?" Nate asked. When he saw Ethan's eyes, he seemed to change his mind about something. He shook his head and smiled. "Lord Ethan, I have to remind you that, unless you're absolutely sure, do not get too deep into a relationship. Otherwise, when she leaves you, I will be the one who has to comfort you."

The muscles on Ethan's face were clenched tight. "I told you. Fuck off."

"I'm your friend, but you're always so rude to me. But then you always think of me when you need a punching bag." Nate started to walk away but stopped before he had gone too far.
