That project was a golden opportunity no matter where itnded. Thepany had poured everything into trying to secure it. What no one expected was that Ethan himself would be the one in charge.
Now that the deal was signed, backing out was basically impossible.
Not only would the shareholders never approve …
The penalty fee alone wasn’t something he could just cough up.
Austin’s hand in his pocket clenched into a fist. He sneered, “You really know how to n things, Mr. Jackson.”
Ethan let out a serious sigh. “It’s nothing special. But I was under a lot of pressure to give this project to the Osborne Group. No need to thank me too much, Mr. Osborne. Just don’t forget your original intentions.”
Dawn was lost and had no idea what kind of secret game they were ying.
Only Austin knew what he was talking about.
<i>Ha</i><i>… </i><i>Don’t </i><i>forget </i><i>your </i><i>original </i><i>intentions</i>.
Ethan nced at his watch, azy smile on his face. “It’s gettingte. We won’t invite you to our house; it’s not a good time. You can just check out our new house after we get married. <fn1447> The rightful source is f?ndnovel</fn1447>
“Dawn, say goodbye to Uncle Austin.”
Dawn found his words a little funny, but she held back herughter and said, “Goodbye, Uncle Austin.”
The handsome man and beautiful woman walked away, looking perfect together.
The man said something, and the woman turned to listen, her face lighting up with a beautiful smile.
Austin stood in the same spot for a long time, not even breathing, until their figurespletely disappeared. Then he swore and violently punched a stone statue nearby.
His knuckles were bleeding and scraped, but he didn’t feel a thing.

“Married?”
He sneered. “We’ll see if you can even get married!”

Dawn noticed something was wrong during their conversation. On the way back, she kept sneaking nces at the man beside her, her face practically spelling out, “I want to ask, but I’m not sure if I should.”
Ethanughed. “If you’ve got something to ask, just ask.”
“Oh. Okay.”
Dawn answered quickly and without hesitation, “That project you and my uncle were talking about–what is it?”
“It’s … ” Ethan suddenly stopped talking. He turned his head and saw the woman’s curious face, with wide eyes eager to know. He took a hand off the steering wheel and touched her head. “Do you think you’ll understand if I tell you?”
Dawn was speechless.
<i>Probably </i><i>not</i><i>. </i>
What they said waspletely confusing to Dawn, as she knew nothing about those big, industrial projects.
“Then just give me the main points. You’re obviously keeping something from me.” She stared at him, giving him a look that said she wouldn’t stop until she got an answer. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll just go back and ask—”
“I told him this project was my way of thanking him for raising you.”
Before she could even finish, Ethan cut in.
He wasn’t nning on hiding it anyway. It was such a minor thing, and there was no reason to hide it.
“And I really am thankful for everything he did for you. I didn’t tell you because the contract had just been signed, and I hadn’t had the chance yet. I didn’t expect him to reveal it first.”
At the red light, Ethan turned to the stunned woman, put his hand on her neck, and brought her closer. “Of course, the wedding gift will be handled separately for the Osbornes. Ms. Porter, how does that sound?”

Dawn stared at his face for a while. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
His eyes were so dark in the night that they seemed to be as ck as ink.

The light from a distance and the headlights from the passing cars shed across his face, illuminating his handsome, chiseled checks.
A momentter, the light turned green.
Dawn pushed his hand away. “Just drive first.”
Ethan’s brows twitched, but he knew it wasn’t right to stop the car in the middle of the road. He kissed her forehead and turned to drive.
On the way home, Dawn was absent–minded. She walked slowly after getting out of the car, falling two steps behind.
She suddenly stopped and looked up.
“Ethan.”
“Hm?”
Ethan turned around and saw her eyes shining.
She suddenly smiled, opened her arms, and hugged him. Her soft voice was full of sincerity. “Thank you.”
Those two simple words said everything.
There was nothing more to add.
In the yard, under the moonlight, in front of the vi, the hug looked like a beautiful painting.
A gentle breeze blew, making their hair lift softly.
At least in Dawn’s heart, this ce was already her and Ethan’s home–a ce where she could feel safe.
Ethan was slightly stunned at first, but then his handsome facepletely softened. He pulled her closer to his chest. His strong heartbeat seemed to express his true feelings.
In the living room, Tara and Hannah were peeking out together. They were so moved by what they saw that they almost cried.
