Chapter 691 Important Talk Under The Sheets [Part 1]

Joanne stared long and hard at the young lady who was sitting beside her brother and holding his hand.

Ethan had told her that he had many lovers back in Eastshire, so she’d been wanting to meet them all.

‘I’m sure that Ramona looked more beautiful than this girl, when she grew up as well,’ Joanne, who was biased toward her best friend, thought. ‘Also, her chest isn’t that big. I’m sure Ramona beats her in that department as well.’

Chloe, who was being observed by Ethan’s sister, couldn’t help but feel that the cute girl was appraising her.

But compared to what Joanne was thinking, she was more concerned about Catherine, who was also looking at her with a critical gaze. It made her feel nervous because this was the first time that she was meeting Ethan's biological family.

“Mother, Joanne, if you both continue to stare at Chloe like that, you’d probably drill a hole in her face,” Ethan said.

“Sorry, I just can’t help but admire her inner beauty,” Joanne replied in a monotonous voice.

Catherine, on the other hand, looked at Chloe apologetically and smiled.

“Ethan has told me many things about you,” Catherine said. “He said that you were a very bold, tomboyish girl when you were younger. He also said that whenever you were with him, he felt like he could just be himself and not worry about what others would think of him.”

A tinge of red crept on Chloe’s face after hearing Catherine’s words.

She was happy to know that Ethan talked about the good things about her and didn’t tell his mother about the bad things.

“I also heard about the agreement between your father and my son.” Catherine smiled. “He said that as long as Ethan became a Marquess, he would not mind Ethan having more than one wife since he'd be a high-ranking noble by then, correct?”

The members of the Meredith Clan, who were standing behind Catherine and Joanne as their handmaidens, looked at Chloe with smug smiles on their faces.

It was as if they were thinking “these commoners will be surprised after they know who the Young Master really is.”

“Eh? They have that kind of agreement?” Joanne, who was hearing this for the first time, looked at Chloe from head to foot before tilting her head to the side.

She wanted to say something rude, but knowing that Chloe was her brother’s lover, she decided to just keep her mouth shut.

Even so, the look of displeasure on her face was very evident, making Chloe immediately think that Joanne didn’t like her.

Seeing Joanne hold back, Ethan smiled faintly. It seemed that his sister had really changed after being sent to the Lands of Alastor and staying there for half a year.

In the past, she would not have cared about whom she was talking to and would speak her mind even if her words were rude.

Now, she had better control of herself, making him give her a thumbs up in his heart.

But just as he was praising his sister in his heart, a devilish smile appeared on his sister’s face, which made him suddenly feel a bad premonition.

“So what did you like about my brother?” Joanne asked. “Did you just like him because he is good-looking?”

Catherine, who was also planning to ask Chloe this question, glanced at her daughter and nodded her head in satisfaction.

“Well… I do agree that he is good-looking, but that’s not the real reason why I like him,” Chloe replied as he thought back to her childhood with Ethan.

“You see, Ethan was a very free and spirited boy when he was younger. Also, his boldness to be a rule breaker, which would always make Grandma Agnes run after him with her flip flops raised, was a very funny thing to see.”

Agnes, who was listening from the kitchen, nodded. Ethan was indeed a pain in the bum whenever he was being mischievous.

“But if there is a trait that I liked the most about him… it's that he is a very dependable person. Whenever I was feeling sad or having problems, he would always be there to make me smile.”

Chloe then gave Ethan a sidelong glance before continuing her explanation.

“But between us, I like the current Ethan more,” Chloe said. “He was already quite dependable back then. And now, he’s even more dependable and kind. If he wasn't like that, he might have hated me when I distanced myself from him without telling him the real reason why.”

“And that reason was?” Joanne, whose curiosity got the best of her, spoke out before she realized what she had done.

However, this was what everyone wanted to know at that moment.

They couldn’t believe that someone would distance herself from the handsome young man, who was the dream guy of all the young ladies in Caer Wydion.

“T-That, I can’t tell you in public because it’s too embarrassing,” Chloe averted her gaze. “But, Ethan already knows about it. You can ask him if you’re really interested.”

“Brother, what is it?”

“You’re still too young for this, Joanne. I’ll tell you when you’re older.”

“Meanie!”

Ethan couldn’t possibly tell them that the reason why Chloe distanced herself from him was because she needed to remain chaste to do whatever she was doing.

And frankly, he was also thankful to her for doing what she did. Because of it, they had unknowingly dodged a bullet that might have turned his world upside down. Who knew what kind of danger would've befallen them if they had crossed that line they were dangerously treading back then?

“If you can’t tell me, then you can tell Mom, right?” Joanne, who still didn’t plan on giving up, tried to compromise.

Ethan glanced at Chloe and asked her with his eyes if she was fine with that.

The young lady’s face was already beet red, but she still nodded her head, giving her lover the permission he needed.

“I’ll tell you later, Mom,” Ethan said. “But promise me that you will not tell Joanne about it.”

Joanne, who had been denied the juicy gossip, pouted and stuck her tongue toward her brother, who returned her gesture.

This unexpected scene made Catherine, Agnes, Chloe, and the Handmaiden of the Meredith Clan look at him with amusement. It was very rare for him to act so childish, especially when he was around so many people.

True to his word, Ethan told his mother what really happened because he could tell that she was concerned with his love life.

After learning the truth, Catherine patted her chest in relief because her son had a close call.

But when evening came, Agnes felt mischievous and told Chloe that since there were no other rooms available for guests, she should just sleep in Ethan’s room.

Chloe was planning to reject the offer, but Ethan said that it would be fine.

“I want to tell you something very important,” Ethan whispered in Chloe’s ears. “This will affect the two of us, so it will be best if we talk in private.”

Sensing the sadness and helplessness in Ethan’s tone, Chloe nodded in understanding.

She wanted to hear about the important matter the young man wanted to tell her, which would affect their relationship.

On that same night, Chloe felt conflicted after hearing what Ethan had to say.

A part of her was relieved, but a greater part of her was saddened because she wouldn’t be able to take that final step in their relationship.

Of course, Chloe still had things to do, which was why she needed to remain chaste.

It just hit differently now that she knew what was at stake. She couldn't help but feel like whatever she was doing was nothing compared to the hardships that Ethan would face if ever they had crossed that line of no return.

“Ethan, since you will be going to Southshire, make sure to talk to Lily and Lyall about this,” Chloe said as she lay on the bed, beside Ethan. “If given the chance, Lyall will really pounce on you, so make sure to tell her that you’re being serious about this.”

“Understood.” Ethan nodded before pulling the young lady close to him.

The two stared at each other affectionately for a while before Ethan moved to kiss Chloe’s lips and used the power he had obtained back in Caer Wydion.

A power that, although had limitations, was perfect for the two of them, who were unable to physically go all the way. With it, they got to do something both of them had dreamed of doing at least once or twice during the time that they were together in Brynhildr Academy.
