Howl and hisses and groans coming from Ethan and Stephen that currently shifted into their real form, were evidence that they were ready to kill each other. Barbara's sudden appearance was a miracle to save them from the bloody fight.

However, it was already useless for Ethan right now.

​​

He grabbed Stephen's arm without hesitation and threw Stephen to his back by his shoulder.

The ashtray and water cups on the coffee table were all swept to the ground, then broken into pieces. Stephen's body slid from the smooth desktop and rose in the air all of a sudden right when he was about to fall. Barbara was more nervous than ever during these several seconds.

If Stephen hadn't been able to stand on his feet at the end on the ground, she could have cut her neck in that situation.

"Ethan, are you going to kill your brother?" Their mother yelled at him.

The metallic and gruesome stench of blood and torn flesh from both of them were intolerable. Ethan's hands clutched on Stephen's neck loosen as his eyes flew to the door where Barbara and Kylie stood. He was so furious and forgot that they were in the study room. It's too late to shift back into his human form as Kylie had witnessed everything.

The horrible looks were clear evidence that Kylie couldn't believe what she saw. His beloved husband was not human.

"Eth--- Ethan?! You're.... You're a monster?" It's almost a whisper that slipped from her mouth.

Ethan was forced to shift back and walk towards his wife that stood by the door.

"Honey, I... I can explain everything to you!" His voice was broken while he was approaching her.

"Explain? You want me to believe all your lies?" tears filled her eyes. "We've been together for many months, yet you chose to fool me? How could you do this to me?"

When he stood next to her, he tried to hold her hands, but Kylie gradually halted. He regretted that he didn't tell his secret to his wife earlier.

"Kylie, it wasn't easy for my son to tell you everything. I know how hard for him to hide his real identity," Barbara interrupted them while Stephen shifted back to his human form too.

Kylie's eyes flew towards Barbara, "Yeah, it's easy to say that, Mom, because you alone lied to me. I don't know why both of you hid the truth when you knew how much I love him!"

Ethan suddenly pulled her when she's not aware. "Honey, honey, please, please, give me a chance to explain. I am not a monster at all. It's not my intention to hide my real identity. Ten years ago, the first time I saw you under a vulnerable condition, I pitied you and promised myself to protect you. That moment, I know your sudden appearance in my life will change everything. You gave me hope at that time when I wasn't able to figure out how I am going to live like a human,"

"Ethan, you could have told me because I can understand," tears continue flowing from her.

Ethan lowered down his head and kissed her lips without giving her a chance to talk again. "I love you!" He said beneath her lips.

Stephen cleared her throat to call their attention. Ethan parted their lips, but he still hugged her tightly. They both gasp for air after that kiss.

"Ethan, I can't breathe! Could you loosen your hug?"

"No! Tell me first that you will let me explain!" He growled.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You need to make sure to convince me later. Stephen, are you okay?"

Stephen adjusted his clothing, then turned to look at Kylie. "Kylie, I'm fine."

Hearing that, Kylie was relieved.

Stephen was aware that his appearance would annoy Ethan, but he still made loving eye contact with Kylie.

Kylie wouldn't respond without a doubt.

"Are you alright?" She turns her eyes to Ethan in a hurry. Ethan releases her immediately with a sullen look.

"I'm fine!"

"You..." Kylie gave Stephen a glance to tell him to leave right away so that she could explain it to Ethan.

Nevertheless, Stephen seized this chance and said, "Kylie, don't worry about me. I'm fine."

It sounded like Kylie cared about him very much.

Ethan was furious now. He stepped out to catch Stephen again.

Since Stephen dared walk into the Parker family's house today, he couldn't leave!

Kylie's sight fell on Ethan's back when he moved ahead.

His white shirt was soaked in blood now after fighting against Stephen, which was quite scary.

"Ethan, wait!" Kylie stopped him at once.

Unfortunately, she was too weak to pull Ethan behind. Ethan still stopped thinking she was pregnant.

He turned to look at her. "If you really care about me, you shouldn't let him come!"

He was injured and vulnerable. It was super easy for Stephen to kill him at this moment.

"Ethan, don't get Kylie wrong." Barbara put the knife down. "She..."

Kylie interrupted Barbara with a quick look to stop her from telling Ethan the real condition of his injuries.

Barbara understood it, then sighed.

"Mother, I'm afraid you fail to make up an excuse for her, right?" Ethan snorted. Stephen glanced at them, then soon realized Ethan wasn't aware of the condition of his injuries. Neither Kylie nor Barbara had the intention to tell him the truth.

In fact, Stephen's arm was dislocated by Ethan, and he must figure out a way to leave here as soon as possible.

Therefore, he smiled at Kylie. "Kylie, is our agreement still effective?"

Hearing that, Kylie was struck dumb.

She understood Stephen came here today to see Ethan's injuries with his own eyes.

If he asked her that question all of a sudden now, he must be confident that he could cure Ethan. Therefore, he wanted to hear an affirmative answer from Kylie's mouth.

He wanted to know whether Kylie was willing to leave with him as they had agreed.

The study fell into dead silence.

Kylie felt Ethan's raised muscles on his arm. He was more jealous than ever now and could lose his temper at any second.

Barbara didn't know what agreement Kylie had with Stephen, but she thought Stephen must leave here as soon as possible.

"Kylie, say something." She urged Kylie.

Kylie glanced at Barbara, then to Ethan. Ethan didn't turn to look at her but only left her a cold back.

She swallowed hard, then said, "Sure."

The simple word made Ethan furious in an instant.

Kylie did have an agreement with Stephen!

Ethan threw Kylie's hand away, and Kylie fell to the sofa under the great force.

No matter how mad he was now, he still wanted to protect her.

However, the sofa in the study wasn't so soft as that in the living room, and Kylie felt dizzy the moment she was thrown away.

"Kylie!" Stephen was mad. "How could you do that to her?"

He couldn't wait for a second longer to leave here together with Kylie at this moment.

Ethan glared at him. "She's Mrs. Parker!"

"Ah..." Kylie covered her stomach with a pained expression.

Ethan turned around at once.

Watching his beloved girl curling up on the sofa, his heart ached. He ached to teach Stephen a lesson but was also worried about Kylie's body.

Without hesitation, Ethan went to hug Kylie in his arms. "Are you alright?"

Kylie slightly opened her eyes and held Ethan's hand. "My stomach is aching."

Hearing that, Stephen panicked. "Kylie!" He ran towards Kylie without delay and totally forgot his dislocated arm.

Kylie lay in Ethan's arms but reached out a hand under his armpit to give Stephen an OK gesture.

Barbara was also anxious but soon realized what Kylie wanted to do after seeing that hand gesture.

Kylie was telling Stephen to leave right now.

Barbara stopped Stephen to let him see Kylie's hand gesture. Stephen relaxed when he found Kylie was fine.

Barbara pushed him outwards, but he still fixed his eyes on Kylie.

Once Kylie's plan succeeded, she withdrew her hand and covered Ethan's big palm in her hands. "Um, I feel much better now with you by my side."

Ethan's face changed within a second. He wanted to draw his hand back, but Kylie squeezed it tight.

"Very well, you begin to act right before my face," he said in annoyance. He thought he had hurt her, and he would never forgive himself if he broke their babies.

To his astonishment, she did that only to give Stephen a chance to leave.
