Chapter 291 Taming a Womanizer

4 Bonus

After leaving the restaurant, Emily and Aaron found themselves on the roadside, hailing a cab.

Emily, with Matthew still at Joy Gardens, knew she’d likely be heading back there later,

It was an idea she wasn’t too fond of at the moment, so she decided to stall a bit.

“Hey, Aaron, how about a little walk? I’m so full,” she said.

Aaron, who was always up for more time with Emily, didn’t hesitate.

“Sounds good to me,” he replied, and they started walking side by side.

The street seemed to go on forever, stretching into the distance like a long ribbon.

As they walked, their conversation mostly centered around the happenings at the hospital.

Before they realized it, almost an hour had slipped by.

With the late hour approaching, Emily finally decided it was time to head home.

When Aaron offered to accompany her, she politely declined.

Once she was seated in the taxi, her phone started going off like crazy with WhatsApp notifications.

It wasn’t just a single beep; it was a symphony of pings, indicating multiple messages.

Emily guessed it was either work related or from Vanessa.

She unlocked her phone and saw Alexander’s profile picture. There were 18 unread messages.

But when she opened the chat, all she saw was a sea of “Message recalled” notifications.

Bewildered, she typed a simple “?”

Alexander shot back quickly: [Hit the wrong button.]

After a moment’s pause, Emily replied with a laid–back “Alright.”

And just like that, their chat ended.

Over at the restaurant, Alexander was getting antsy. He kept refreshing the WhatsApp page, waiting for another message from Emily.

When none came, he let out a series of frustrated sighs.

The actress sitting nearby didn’t dare say a word, sensing his foul mood.

After a few more sighs, an idea seemed to strike him. He grabbed his phone and opened Nancy’s chat.

After some pondering and editing, he sent a bold message: [One night stand?]

Right then, Nancy was in the study, keeping Ethan company. The moment she got that message from Alexander, she nearly fumbled her phone out of sheer fright.

Ethan was deep in those documents, and Nancy was busy digging into stuff for her research

Ethan had strong–armed Oliver to push Aaron into thinking up research topics, but Nancy couldn’t let her guard down until it was a done deal.

Getting into that doctoral program had been a real grind. There was no way she’d blow it all now.

Having a doctorate would open doors to a whole new world for

her.

When she laid eyes on Alexander’s message, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Ethan noticed her jump and put down his papers. “What’s going

on?” he asked.

Nancy’s face turned as red as a tomato. She quickly flipped the phone over on the table and stuttered, “N–nothing, just a video

from a friend.”

Ella, suspicious, reached for her phone.

However, Nancy put her hand on his. “Ethan, really. It’s just some random video,” she insisted.

Ethan frowned. “What? Can’t I see it?”

Seeing that he wouldn’t let it go, Nancy said softly, “Don’t get mad, okay?”

Ethan nodded. “Fine, I promise.”

Nancy then picked up the phone, found the video sent by her friend, and played it.

A woman’s voice filled the room. If you want to keep a man smitten, here’s what you need to do…‘

Ethan took one glance at the start and quickly lost interest. Handing the phone back to Nancy, he said casually, “Just be you. No need to copy those things.”

At his words, Nancy felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Thankfully, Ethan didn’t go on to ask more questions. Otherwise, he would have seen the message from Alexander.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Nancy tilted her head and questioned, “But if I don’t learn these, how on earth can I win your heart?”

“Your mind should be on the research. Forget about other

stuff”

Noticing Ethan’s serious demeanor, Haney didn’t dare to fool around any more. She murmured, “Alright, I know.”

With that, Ethan went back to his work. Meanwhile, Nancy sat beside him, thumbing through the academic papers in front of her, yet her mind was miles away

Alexander’s message had her all fluttery inside.

In the sprawling city of Los Angeles, second only to Ethan in influence was Alexander.

She had already managed to capture Ethan’s attention, and surprisingly, Alexander seemed to be smitten with her, too.

The feeling of accomplishment at that moment was just as intense as when she’d been admitted to the doctoral program.

After some thought, Nancy switched off her tablet and softly said to Ethan, “Ethan, I’m not in the mood to study today. I think I’ll head back and get some rest.”

Ethan immediately stood up. “Okay then, let me walk you home.”

“Sounds good.”

Ethan grabbed his coat and accompanied Nancy downstairs.

Matthew was fast asleep; otherwise, Ethan wouldn’t have allowed Nancy to enter so freely.

Once he’d seen Nancy safely home, Ethan didn’t hang around. He made his way back to Joy Gardens.

At Ethan’s newly–bought villa, Nancy slumped onto the sofa. She shot a message back to Alexander [Are you really itching to get something going, Mr. Lessing?]
