Chapter 170 Precautions
Even if it sounded a bit subjective, Dawn had a gut feeling Andy meant no harm.
Ethan pressed the corner of his mouth. “I never said I’d kill him. How is that illegal? It only bes illegal if he actually does something wrong.
“Anyway, leave this to me for now. If I sense anything off or if I can’t handle it, I’ll tell Okay?”
Seeing Ethan look unhappy made Dawn smile. She cupped his face in both hands.
“Mr. Jackson, I’m not saying this to make you mad.”
Ethan let her hold him. His voice was a little muffled. “Then why?”
“For respect.”
you.
Dawn looked into his eyes. “I won’t hide anything from you. But please respect my choice.”
When their eyes met, Ethan felt a wave of heat he couldn’t exin. It hit him like a rock dropping on his chest. He put his hand on Dawn’s back and pushed her down gently but firmly.
They drew closer. Their breaths tangled.
Ethan smiled in a way that made Dawn feel weak. Just as she was about to kiss him back, someone knocked on the door. Hannah called, “Dawn, Ethan, dinner’s ready. You guys cane down.”
Dawn turned her face. “That’s cheating.”
“What did I do?” Ethan tilted her face back into his hands.
He kissed her softly, then kissed her again.
His kisses were different from everything else. They were tender and fierce at once. He smiled like sunlight cutting through clouds.
“Babe, I feel like one kiss isn’t enough.”
Dawn blinked. “Maybe you’ve never kissed anyone before?”

Her line broke the mood.
Ethan’s face turned cold for a second. Dawnughed and took his hand down. “Hurry up and get downstairs. If Hannah doesn’t see us, she’ll assume we were up to something.”
Ethan expected a fewforting words or another kiss<b>. </b>Instead, Dawn dragged him downstairs.
He ate without much energy. He helped Dawn with food but barely spoke.
Tara watched them. After a while, she cleared her throat. “Where did you two sleepst night?” she asked.
Dawn answered politely. “We stayed at a friend’s hotel, Mrs. Jackson.”
“Hotel?” Tara’s eyes changed. She stared at Dawn and finally noticed something.
Dawn had showered after work and put on her loungewear. The loose top slid a little and showed a faint dark mark below her corbone.
Ethan had wanted to leave it on her neck, but Dawn stopped him.
So it ended up there.
Dawn didn’t know Tara had seen it. She only felt a strange look and asked, “Mrs. Jackson, is something wrong?”
“No, no.” Tara smiled softly. “Dawn, after dinner, wait for me a bit. I want to talk to you.”
Ethan caught the look between them and knew what Tara meant.
After dinner, Dawn joined Tara for a walk in the garden. They talked about trivial things before Tara said what she came to say.
“Dawn, have you and Ethan … already done the deed?”
Dawn froze, then realized what Tara was asking. “Mrs. Jackson … ” she began.
“It’s okay. I know you’re shy.” Tara turned to the dark sky and sighed. “I just want to remind you
if you’re not ready to be a mom, take precautions, okay?

“Of course. If you decide you want a baby, I’ll support you. But if you aren’t ready, don’t get pregnant lightly. Don’t just listen to Ethan. In these things, girls can get the most hurt.”

She said it like she was sharing a hard truth. Once, someone had suffered a lot over this. They had paid a terrible price even their life.

Dawn had thought this talk with an elder would be awkward. Instead, she felt touched. She put her arm in Tara’s and leaned close. In a yful voice, she said, “Mrs. Jackson, don’t be Ethan’s mom. Be my mom. I like you so much.”
Few mothers–inw let their daughter–inw follow her heart. Dawn was lucky to find one.
Tara paused, then smiled sadly. “If you and Ethan weren’t already married, I might have asked to be your godmother. Are you two getting a divorce? Or should I disown him? Hmm… wouldn’t be right.”
