Chapter 58: Ah, did it fail?

Mrs. Miller was undeniably beautiful, but what really drew people in was her unique aura of melancholy, typical of a widow, which instinctively triggered a protective urge in men. Of course, it could also provoke the opposite desire to dominate her.

But none of this concerned Ethan.

With his current physical strength, he wouldn’t stand a chance if he tried to force anything on Mrs. Miller.

Luckily, the situation didn’t require any drastic measures.

“Aunt Sofia,” Ethan said, his hand resting on her slender waist, feeling the softness of her body through her clothes.

“Not now, please,” Mrs. Miller pleaded, looking up at him with eyes that begged and cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

She was sitting next to a young man even younger than her own son.

She tried to muster some authority as an elder.

But the fierce grip she had on his penis seemed to tell her that beneath his frail appearance lurked a beast ready to devour her at any moment.

It was a conflicting feeling.

“So, when can we?” Ethan heard his own heart pounding wildly.

His goal today was to test out a task issued by the “Last Wishes System.”

Bringing Mrs. Miller to watch live sex shows was purely to share a secret with her, providing a backup plan in case he couldn’t complete the system’s task.

But this unexpected turn of events caught him off guard.

However, he didn’t want to miss the chance to connect more deeply with the widow.

“This...” Mrs. Miller’s eyes filled with embarrassment. Hearing such flirtatious words from a kid made her cringe to the max.

On the phone screen, the show continued.

The female host leaned close to Ryan’s ear on the hospital bed, whispering, “Say goodbye to your past, virgin.”

Ryan froze, his muscles tensed as if he was soulless.

Outside the screen.

Mrs. Miller’s embarrassment peaked. She closed her eyes, unable to watch the screen any longer, and her repetitive hand motion stopped.

“Ryan’s actually doing quite well,” Ethan remarked, knowing that praising her son was the highest compliment to a mother.

The female host said goodbye to her viewers, and the screen went black, marking the end of the live stream.

Still, there was no indication from the system that he had completed the task.

“Ah, did it fail?” He wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

The wish was something he had deliberately led Ryan into, and it seemed that the system didn’t recognize such manipulated scenarios.

He glanced at Aunt Sofia. After this encounter, he had established a kind of intimate connection with her and her son, meeting the prerequisites for completing the task.

“Ding-dong.”

His phone received a message from Blair stating that the female host had left and Ryan was back in his room.

Seeing this message, Sofia’s tense muscles visibly relaxed, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes as she stood up, pressing a hand to her chest and bowing deeply to Ethan. “Thank you.”

“Hmm.” Ethan chuckled lightly. “Ryan is like a brother from another mother to me. Fulfilling his wish is my wish too.”

Sofia’s eyes flickered strangely. This boy, calling Ryan a brother, had been quite forward with his hands on her just moments ago.

She was relieved that Ethan was paralyzed,otherwise, she might have been completely devoured by the beast between his legs earlier.

The thought of that bizarre scenario was almost too much to bear.

Sofia quickly gathered her thoughts, looking him in the eye with a serious expression. “Ethan, please keep this a secret.”

Just imagining what would happen if Ryan found out about her physical intimacy with his only good friend felt like the world would explode at that moment.

As a mother and an elder, she couldn’t bear the shame.

“Of course.” Ethan nodded again. He knew that at this moment, Sofia would follow his lead, but what happened next was another matter.

Sofia then pulled out a slightly bulging envelope from her handbag, prepared in advance, and forcefully stuffed it into Ethan’s arms. “This is a little token of my appreciation. Please don’t refuse.”

“This... I really just wanted to help Ryan.” Ethan made a pained expression, secretly estimating at least $1000 inside.

All in all, he had made a net profit of $5000 from this venture.

“I know you’re a good kid,” Sofia said, her lips twitching uncontrollably as she struggled to keep her expression from falling apart. “If you can, please talk more with Ryan. After all, he doesn’t have many friends.”

“Don’t worry, Aunt Sofia.” How could Ethan not understand? She was trying to set boundaries, but he wasn’t ready to let things end so simply.

Not to mention, he still wanted to maintain a long-term connection with Sofia.

As for the system task, he still needed to figure out Ryan’s true wish and help him fulfill it.
