Chapter 1076

The water was so hot that Marina kept scolding people.

Still, she couldn’t lift her legs herself. All she could do was to cry while scolding.

Why did she have to suffer that when she already met her miserable fate?

Otto sighed and cooed, Marina, put up with it. You’ll reap what you sow. You’ll be able to walk after

this.”

“It’s hot, Grandpa. I’m burning! I think my skin is going to burn! I don’t want it anymore. It hurts!

“Where did you come from, you quack? Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t do anything to you.

Ethan, save me!”

Marina’s whining didn’t stop coming from her room.

At the same time, Ethan and Olivia were enjoying tea and the snowy view outside.

How could he hear Marina when his eyes were only on Olivia?

The Carltons were comforting Marina in her room, so the two were alone outside.

The design of the Carlton residence was the same as that of the Fordham residence. The buildings

were aesthetically pleasing.

The scenery was breathtaking whenever it snowed.

Ethan proffered a grape to her lips. “Have some grapes to cleanse your mouth.”

Since he had already placed it in front of her, and there was no one around, she didn’t refuse it.

After all, those people were preoccupied at the moment.

She ate it from his fingers, and he caressed the tip of her tongue briefly.

Their heart skipped a beat when his rough fingertip touched her wet and soft tongue.

She glared at him, thinking disapprovingly, “What is he doing? Does he not know where we are right

now?”

Yet, Ethan licked his fingertip that touched her tongue. “The grape is sweet.”

His actions conjured the images of sexy male leads from movies in her head.

But Ethan appeared sexier because he was wearing a suit.

Without her realizing it, the grape juice spilled a little from the cornerof her lips.

He supported himself by pressing on the couch before propping her chin up to kiss her.

Olivia’s eyes widened.

She wondered, “What is this bastard doing? I’m here to seek revenge, and yet he’s here for a secret

lovers’ play? Has he always been this perverted?”

His soft tongue danced in her mouth, smearing the grape juice in both their mouths.

Hearing incoming footsteps, she shoved him away.

Fortunately, the incoming people were slow because the butler had to push Otto over here in a

wheelchair.

By the time they came, Ethan had released Olivia and sat opposite her.

Otto noticed their weird expressions. “I hope you don’t mind Ethan’s attitude, Vanessa. He’s a reticent

man, not cold.”

She thought, “Cold? You don’t know how eager he was a moment ago.”

Ethan said implicitly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Carlton Senior.

Vanessa traveled so far, and she’s an important guest. I will treat her well.

“I told her to have some grapes. Vanessa, what do you think about the fruit?”

She huffed in her head, “What fruit? He’s clearly referring to the kiss! This is not perverted. This is a

weird kink!”

She turned her head away, avoiding his gaze. “Not bad.”

“I guess you’re not that happy with it. I have high-quality tea and fruits back at my place. When you’re

free, could you do a checkup on me? My chest is hurting these days.”

Otto, who wasn’t aware of their relationship, took it seriously.

He thought that Ethan was trying to seek medical advice from Olivia. “I heard that Vanessa is

knowledgeable in cardiac research. You should definitely let her check on you.”

Ethan stared at her. “What do you think, Vanessa?”

The way he called that name was seeped with a tinge of lust.
