Chapter 140 Ethan is a Whipped Husband
Ashley's voice outside the door made Ethan's heart race. He hadn't done anything wrong, but he worried Ashley might misunderstand. He quickly covered Felicity's mouth and gave her a warning look.
"Honey, I'm taking a shower. Can you wait outside?"
Ethan's voice from the room eased Ashley's worry a bit, but she still thought he might be too sick to open the door. "Ethan, Thomas told me you're sick. You must feel awful. How about I come in and take care of you?"
As Ashley spoke, Ethan held Felicity with one hand, covering her mouth with the other, trying to hide her.
He thought about hiding her under the bed but felt it was wrong.
He considered the curtains but feared being caught.
Ethan was like a cat on a hot tin roof, scrambling for a solution.
Felicity, on the other hand, looked calm. She didn't like Ethan, but the situation felt like they were having an affair and about to be caught, which excited her.
She had a mischievous thought. Just then, Ethan pushed her into the bathroom and warned, "When Ashley comes in, don't make a sound, or you'll regret it!"
Felicity smirked. She didn't expect the famous Ethan to be so whipped. She wondered if he'd get stuck with housework if caught.
Thinking this, Felicity decided to be naughty. "Ethan, don't push me in there. I'm scared to be alone," she said, reaching out to hug him.
"Get away! You have no right to touch me!"
Ethan growled, pushing her away roughly.
He might have used too much force, causing Felicity to bump into the vanity, making a loud noise.
Ethan panicked. Furious, he locked Felicity in the bathroom, warning, "If you make another sound, I'll make sure the Zito Group goes under!"
Felicity initially wanted to prank him, but his threat scared her into silence.
Outside the door, Ashley seemed to hear something. Samantha, pushing her wheelchair, perked up. "Ashley, did you hear something inside?"
Ashley nodded. "Did Ethan bump into something?"
"Why don't we just go in? Samantha, can you help me open the door?"
"Okay."
Samantha stepped forward, but the door opened on its own.
Ethan stood there, his gaze soft and gentle when he saw Ashley. "Honey."
He quickly walked up, carefully hugging her and burying his face in her neck.
Ashley's neck felt ticklish from his breath, but she couldn't move. Otherwise, she would've pushed Ethan away.
"Ethan, how are you feeling? Is it serious? I heard some noises. Did you bump into something?"
A flicker of light passed through Ethan's eyes as he held Ashley's waist. "I'm pretty sick. Stay with me."
Ashley said, "Then lie down on the bed and rest."
Ethan stood up, looking pitiful and weak.
Seeing this, Ashley felt sorry for him. But her limited mobility made it impossible to hug him, filling her with guilt.
"Ethan, I can't take care of you right now. How about I find a caregiver?"
"Okay."
Ethan nodded, then pushed Ashley's wheelchair, instructing Samantha, "Elisa, there's a guest room. You can rest there. I'll take care of her."
Ethan called out "Elisa," and it was directed at Samantha.
Samantha didn't respond, and Ashley said, "That's not right. You're still sick. How can you take care of me? Samantha, call a caregiver. Ethan needs someone to look after him."
Ethan looked at Samantha in confusion. Why didn't she respond when he called her?
But Ashley continued the conversation naturally, making it feel like she was the real Elisa...
Ethan dismissed his suspicion.
For a moment, he thought Ashley was Elisa!
"Okay, I'll contact a caregiver right away."
Ethan smirked. "Honey, even though I'm sick, I can still carry you to bed."
Ashley blushed. Samantha felt out of place and said, "You two rest. I'll bring the caregiver over when she arrives."
"Okay."
After Samantha left, Ethan pushed Ashley's wheelchair into the bedroom. He lifted her onto the bed and lay down beside her.
Thinking about the past few days, Ashley felt a mix of emotions. "Ethan, where are you feeling unwell? Did you see a doctor? You're a grown man. How can you not even..."
Ethan cupped her face and kissed her deeply.
They didn't know how long they kissed. When they finally parted, their eyes were filled with longing. "Honey, please don't divorce me..."
Ashley wanted a divorce because of herself. She never doubted him.
Seeing him like this, Ashley's heart softened. She was about to say something when a clattering sound came from the bathroom.
Ashley asked, "Ethan, did you hear something from the bathroom?"
