Chapter 21 Done Staring ? Dawn thought , The way he said it makes it sound like I was too eager to see him . 81 +10 Free Coins Her face flushed a deep red , and she flopped onto the sofa beside her , muttering under her breath as she slipped off her shoes , " Who told you to make everything so complicated ? One apartment per floor ... Of course , it's going to take a while to get used to . " Ethan seemed to hear her , nodding slowly with a thoughtful look . " If you don't like it , we can always find somewhere else . " " Uh ... there's no need ." She quickly rejected the idea , hoping he wouldn't take her seriously . She placed her shoes in the cabinet and walked back into the living room , her eyes scanning the space . " When did you do the renovations ? It looks great , like you've been living here all along . " But from what she knew , Ethan had been living overseas for the last few years , only returning for a brief visit two years ago before leaving again . Ethan's gaze flickered , then he cleared his throat lightly , one hand covering his nose in a mock cough . " I've been renovating the place in my free time . Never thought I'd actually live here . " Dawn nodded in understanding . " I see , " she said , as if it all made sense now . Typical rich person behavior - buying properties on a whim , not caring if they're ever used . They probably forget they even own them after a while . After some light conversation , Ethan showed Dawn around the apartment . The layout was open and spacious , with most of the room dedicated to the living area and balcony . Taking away the study and the walk - in closet , there were only three bedrooms , each one beside the master suite . Dawn surveyed the rooms before settling on the one across from the master bedroom . " I'll take this room , " she said with a smile , giving an exaggerated bow . " Guess we'll be roommates now , Mr. Jackson . " Ethan chuckled softly . He reached over and pinched her cheek lightly . " Why are you acting silly ? " " Why are you pinching me ? You're the one being silly . " 1/3 22:04 Sun , Sep 14 ... Chapter 21 Done Staring ? 81 +10 Free Coins " We're getting married soon . This place is your home , " he said , his warm eyes meeting hers with a playful gleam . " Even if you wanted the master bedroom , I'd have no choice but to give it up . " Dawn blushed under his gaze and let out a soft laugh . " It's just for a few days . It doesn't matter where I stay . " " Sure . " Ethan didn't tease her any further , simply nodding in agreement . " You're not wrong . " Now that she had gotten familiar with the place and chosen her room , it was time to unpack . Ethan offered to help , but the idea of him doing so made Dawn feel awkward . She quickly declined . " I don't need much help . I can manage on my own . You go ahead and do whatever you need to . " He watched her for a moment before softly saying , " Alright . " With that , he returned to his spot by the large windows and picked up the book he had been reading . From the corner of his eye , he noticed Dawn moving back and forth between the rooms , occasionally stopping with a frustrated look before continuing her task once she figured something out . Ethan couldn't help but smile slightly , finding amusement in the scene . Since she was busy unpacking , he figured he might as well keep himself occupied too . He pulled out his phone and ordered fresh ingredients for delivery , deciding to make sure Dawn was well taken care of . Knowing that she'd only be staying here for a few days , Dawn didn't bother unpacking everything . She opened her suitcase to grab her essentials , putting her toothbrush and towels in the bathroom . The only downside was that the guest room didn't have its own bathroom . She'd have to use the one outside , next to Ethan's bedroom . The master suite must have its own bathroom attached , right ? With that thought , Dawn carried her toiletries out ... only to be met with a neatly arranged array of Ethan's personal items on the bathroom counter . 2/3 22:04 Sun , Sep 14 d Chapter 21 Done Staring ? Her heart skipped a beat , and she looked back toward the master bedroom , her mind struggling to believe it . Such a large house ... with only one bathroom ? Ugh , whatever . Guess I'll just make do . 81 +10 Free Coins She sighed inwardly and accepted the situation , arranging her things as neatly as she could . What had been an empty , bare bathroom now felt small , and strangely cozy . Taking a deep breath , she turned and stepped out . A pleasant smell drifted in from the kitchen . Dawn walked toward the kitchen and froze , captivated by the sight of Ethan in action . He had removed his jacket , now wearing just a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up , revealing his strong , muscular arms . A black apron was tied around his waist , highlighting his narrow waist and his perfectly shaped backside . His body was healthy , athletic , long , and perfectly sculpted . It was clear he had worked hard to maintain his physique over the years . Dawn hadn't really noticed before , but now that she did , she was struck by just how fit Ethan was , both in clothes and out . His body was more impressive than she'd ever imagined . " Done staring ? " The sudden voice made Dawn jump in surprise . She looked up , and to her astonishment , Ethan was standing in the kitchen , having turned to face her at some point . He looked like a piece of art - his presence was statuesque , exuding confidence and charm . 3/3 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
