257 CHAPTER 257: LIKE PEAS IN A POD!

She slowly applied the ointment.

The man looks so distressed as he leaned his body on the couch with his eyes closed. Therefore, Alex doesn't know if his asleep or what. He looks so tired and the weariness on his face was very visible. Oh how she loves to caress his face.

Meanwhile, Ethan could feel the woman's soft hands. Ah, her soft touch, its definitely soothing. Earlier, he didn't know what has gotten into him. When the woman responded to his text message, he immediately stood up and went to where his car parked and drove off to her apartment. His been outside her apartment for who knows how long, while they keep exchanging messages. He wanted to see her badly so when Alex asked about his wounds, he took that reason to go and see her.

The woman suddenly stopped texting when he told her that he's standing in front of her door. And it pained him when he didn't receive any response after five minutes. Upsettingly, he sat on the floor and leaned his worn-out body on the wall. The exhaustion was urging his eyes to slumber, guess it was due to the wine he drunk before going out. Well, seems like he needs to rest for a minute or two before he set out back to his hotel suite.

However, he snoozes --half-awake. And when he sensed the woman in front of him, he thought of her as a dream. so when he kissed her, he assumed it was all a part of his imagination. But when the woman started to give him access while responding to his advances, he realized that it was all real. The way how their bodies burn for each other as their lips expresses it by wildly consuming every part of their mouth… it was wonderful!

He delights whenever he heard the woman moans from time to time. And the way she runs her fingers on his hair and plunge herself deeply to him had aroused his long-sleeping desire. Fudge! He wanted to consume the woman totally and he can feel his thing protesting its way out.

Ah, who knows how long had they stayed like that on the hallway. Good thing it was already night time so probably her neighbours had already fallen asleep. After a few more minutes, their lips broke away as they grasped for air, their foreheads touching each other.

Did they miss each other badly? Guess they did. Weird.

Their eyes were communicating silently, it was filled with care... and love? Dang! Alex then averted her eyes on his lips. Then she run her fingers on the side where Clement had hit. It was bleeding again, guess it was also because of their intense make-out session.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

'' This needs to be treated right away.'' She uttered before she stood up. She was about to enter the door when she noticed the man still sitting on the hallway.

'' what are you doing there? Aren't you coming inside?'' She pouted.

'' I was waiting for you to invite me in.'' He grinned as he stood up.

'' As if I have a choice.'' She rolled her eyes then smiled and went inside. Ethan followed.

'' Make yourself comfortable. I'll just get the ointment.'' She uttered before going to her room.

He's definitely tired and he wanted to sleep at the moment and that overshadowed his desire to consume the woman right away. His not sure either if he could drive back to the hotel. Can he even sleep at the woman's apartment house? Guess she'll go berserk if he ends up sleeping there.

After a few minutes, Alex came back with the medicine kit in her hands. But she found the man lying on the couch already. Seems like he dozes off to sleep while waiting. He also had a tough day like her.

She sat down beside him and started cleaning the blood on the side of his lips, then carefully placed an ointment on it. She's done treating his wounds but she chose to stay still. She's having a good time staring at the man's beautiful feature.

'' Can I sleep here?'' She suddenly heard the man spoke, eyes still shut.

'' Unfortunately, no.'' She sat on the floor and leaned on the couch, her back facing the lying man.

'' I think I can't drive back home. My head is a little bit dizzy.''

'' I'll call Max for you. I'm sorry, you can't stay.'' She lowered her head in guilt. She also has a heart but Ethan can't be seen in her apartment. He is not just a simple man. If someone sees him with her, he'll definitely be on the frontline tomorrow and she can't risk that. Moreover, her daughter might misinterpret it too.

"Is it because of Clement?" frustration shadowed his tone.

The woman lowered her head at the sound of Clément's name and Ethan was quick to see that.

She went silent for a few minutes and that pained Ethan. Did his Aisha fell for that man? Are they possibly in a relationship? What is there status? But thinking about it now, the man said not to mess with someone else's woman… are they…? Ah, he doesn't want to conclude but his heart is aching so much. The throbbing, it's killing him.

"I'm sorry then…" Ethan wretchedly uttered and was about to stand up, but what Alex muttered next rendered him speechless.

"He saved me once." She voiced explaining. "I owe him my life."

Ethan got struck at what he had heard and that pinned him to where he was sitting. So that guy was the one who saved his Aisha, huh. But how? How did everything come to pass? Where did he found her? How did he save her? A lot of questions where running in his mind.

"Do you love him?" Ethan didn't know how he was able to asked that thing. But he felt the need to asked her.

She was silent for a few minutes. She couldn't answer him. Love him? Does she?

Ethan woke up from the couch and sat beside the woman. They were both looking outside the window. The sky was dark and seems like the stars were on vacation since they couldn't find one. And the room was filled with silence.

After a few minutes, Alex heard Ethan.

"I lost the only woman I loved three years ago." He started and that caught the woman's attention. "Everyone believe that she died during that night. however, even if it deems impossible, I was still hoping and waiting for her return." He smiled painfully and Alex was quick to catch that.

"How did she die?" she innocently asked.

"She fell off the cliff and …..." he paused and looked at the woman in the eyes. Ah, the grief that had overshadowed his eyes, its agonising!

"Drown in the ocean… I guess." He continued.

Alex suddenly jerked when she remembered something. After a few seconds, her eyes widened in dread. Wait, did he say fell off the cliff and drowned in the ocean?

"W-what's her name?" she wanted to make sure.

Ethan averted his eyes. his gaze settled on the dark sky once again. Then a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Aisha… her name was Aisha." he uttered lovingly.

"But I was too late to rescue her." he sulked. "I was not able to save her that moment. if only I was a minute early…just a minute early, then probably, I might have prevented what had happened to her." he continued with an agonizing tone.

Her dream! Alex remembered. She's been having a constant nightmare about falling on a cliff, drowning and she's been seeing a man's shadow. Then she stared at the man whose gaze was still fixed on the sky. She was looking at him intently that after a few minutes, she held her breath. No! it can't be real. She grasped.

"But you know what's the most painful part? It is knowing that she's pregnant with our baby…" then he stared at the shocked woman meaningfully.

Alex gulped on her realization. Those dreams that she's been having the past days… now she's thinking if they were someone else's dream or could it be her… No! impossible!

His eyes were not leaving hers and she couldn't avert her gaze as well. seems like she's being drawn to him. she couldn't leave his eyes since it looks identical with her daughter's pair of eyes. they both have the same ----- Blue eyes! she held her breath upon realizing something.

"Are you okay?" Ethan inquired when he saw her staggered lightly.

"D-did you say you lost her three years ago?" she furthered. "In the ocean?"

"Ehm… that's right."

She was totally terrified at what she had just heard. "Could it be that…"

"Mommy?" they heard a young child called out while standing at the room's doorway. She was rubbing her eyes, probably wanting to see who was the man beside her mom.

As soon as Ethan got a glimpse of the young child, his jaw unexpectedly dropped and his eyes widened in disbelief. Wait, this little girl… they were looking at each other's eyes. looks like they were both trying to assess what's happening and the reason as to why they have a matching pair of blue eyes!

Like peas in a pod!

"Who are you?" the young lad suspiciously asked the bemused man.
