Chapter 342 Meet the Condition

Aaron kept silent and strode on without a pause.

As his figure faded into the distance, Nancy was consumed by a whirlwind of anger and envy.

It was Emily who had turned Aaron, once head–over–heels for her, into someone who now regarded her with distaste.

Nancy was so incensed that her chest rose and fell rapidly.

Once she’d regained her composure, she made her way out of the school, stepping into the soft morning mist.

Just outside the school gates, there sat Ethan’s car by the roadside.

There was a time when the sight of it would’ve sent Nancy running over in a heartbeat.

But now, it barely stirred a feeling in her.

She had Ethan firmly in her grasp, and the chase had lost its

allure.

These days, Alexander and Aaron were the ones she yearned to

impress.

For Nancy, the thrill of conquest was the only thing that could fill the emptiness inside.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t notice Ethan getting out of the car until he was approaching her.

He stopped right in front of her.

Seeing her in a daze, Ethan asked, “Hey, Nancy, what’s up? Is the research giving you a hard time?”

Nancy snapped back to the present. She turned to look at Ethan. His handsome face, which used to make her heart flutter, now seemed a bit of a bore.

Still, she replied, “The research is going great, Ethan. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Hearing this, Ethan let out a sigh of relief. He took the small bag from her hand and said, “Sophie’s been pestering me nonstop. She misses you.”

At the mention of Sophia, Nancy’s insides churned with disgust.

But she plastered a smile on her face and said, “I’ve been swamped with work. I guess I’ve been neglecting her.”

Ethan fixed her with a look, his voice laced with a hint of 2/7

irritation. “It’s not just her you’ve been ignoring, you know.”

That was when it dawned on Nancy.

Seeing Ethan jealous gave her a little rush.

She looked up at him, ran her hand along his cheek, and said, “Sorry. I’ve been neglecting you these past couple of days.”

Ethan shook his head and gave her a teasing smile. “So, how are you gonna make it up to me?”

A spark of affection reignited in Nancy. She stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Ethan looked at her with a hungry look in his eyes. “Is that

all?”

His meaning was clear. Nancy’s cheeks flushed bright red.

Pretending to be coy, she said, “Well, what else do you want then?”

The morning mist had left Nancy’s hair damp.

Her face was lit up with a sweet smile, and her eyes sparkled like a clear night sky.

Ethan couldn’t help but laugh at how adorable she looked. 3/7

Then he asked, “So, would you ever want to have a baby?”

A single sentence was all it took to erase the smile from Nancy’s face.

In a flash, her features hardened, and with a furrowed brow, she asked Ethan, “I thought you said having a baby would put my life at risk, so you’d never let me go through with it.”

Ethan simply grunted in response.

But Nancy’s unease was palpable. “Ethan, do you still want a son?”

Ethan reached out and gently pinched Nancy’s cheek. “No, it’s just my grandpa breathing down my neck,” he explained softly.

“So, what’s your plan then?” she persisted.

Ethan looked into her eyes. “Let things happen as they will,” he murmured.

The words sent a jolt of anxiety through Nancy.

Without further ado, she feigned hunger and fatigue and asked

Ethan to take her home.

The ride back was silent. Nancy kept her eyes shut, pretending to doze off, while Ethan focused on the road. 4/7

Over at Carter Manor, Emily slept like a log until 8:30.

Her health issues had forced her to request time off from work.

Her boss wasn’t happy, threatening to dock her pay, but Emily couldn’t care less.

Her well–being was more important.

Rather than getting up right away, Emily grabbed her phone.

As she scrolled through the videos, a news headline caught her eye: [Famous LA Businessman Caught Flirting with His Girlfriend in Public.]

Beneath it was a photo of Nancy on tiptoe, planting a kiss on Ethan’s cheek.

Emily’s grip on the phone tightened involuntarily.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a video call from Vanessa.

Emily answered it right away and saw Vanessa in front of a mirror, doing her own hair.

“Feeling better?” Vanessa asked, still working on her locks.

“Yeah, much better,” Emily replied with a weak smile.

“Good to hear,” Vanessa said, sounding relieved.

Noticing Vanessa’s elaborate preparations, Emily quipped, “Got a date?”

Vanessa hesitated for a second before nodding. “Yeah,” she admitted.

Emily sat up straight. “What? Did someone meet that crazy condition from last time?” she exclaimed.

Vanessa nodded again. “They did,” she said matter–of–factly.

“Are you out of your mind?” Emily was aghast.

Vanessa gave a small smile. “But they really did it.”

Emily was worried sick. “Just because they did it, you have to go?” she pleaded.

Letting out a sigh, Vanessa said, “I’m an online personality. I made a promise, and if I don’t keep it, the internet will eat me alive. It’ll ruin my brand.”
