Chapter 389 Sweet Revenge: Ethan's Playful Retaliation
Ethan inwardly scoffed. Ashley had dared call him an idiot? She clearly needed a lesson.
As he contemplated how to make her submit, the vendor announced, "Your cotton candy is ready."
"Thank you," Ashley said, taking the treats. The vendor must have had some sculpting talent—despite being made of cotton candy, the miniature figures clearly resembled Ashley and Ethan's features.
"Honey, look how realistic these are," Ashley held them up. "Which one do you want to eat?"
Ethan's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Yours."
Ashley could see the dangerous gleam in his eyes. He was clearly annoyed about being called an idiot. Such a sensitive ego!
"No way," she pouted. "Eat your own." She handed him the cotton candy version of himself.
As Ashley walked away, enjoying her treat with small licks, Ethan watched her intently. His eyes darkened as he moved closer and took a bite of her cotton candy.
Though he was eating her treat, his lips deliberately brushed against hers—an unmistakably intimate gesture.
Ashley blushed furiously, nervously glancing around to make sure no one had noticed their exchange.
"Why are you stealing my cotton candy?" she scolded playfully.
Ethan licked his lips seductively yet casually remarked, "It's quite sweet."
Ashley glared at him.
"Though a bit too sugary for my taste," he added with a frown.
Ashley's mind exploded. If he found the cotton candy too sweet, was he implying her lips were the sweet part?
Seeming to read her thoughts, Ethan flashed her a devilish grin.
"Stop flirting with me in public," she whined. "You're making me blush."
Ethan glanced around. "Who's watching us?"
Ashley looked around and realized nobody was paying them any attention.
Taking his arm, she suggested, "Honey, want to get something good to eat?"
Ethan nodded in agreement.
They walked together, exchanging loving glances, each seeing their reflection in the other's eyes—a picture of blissful romance.
At a small restaurant, Ashley ordered for both of them, and their food arrived quickly.
"Let's eat," she said, touching his neck affectionately. "We need to catch the bus to the mountains after this."
"Okay."
"Why are you eating so little?" Ashley asked. "Even less than me!"
Ethan smiled. "It's not as good as your cooking. I can only manage a few bites."
"Your standards are getting impossible," she teased. "What would you do if I wasn't around? Live on nutritional supplements?"
Ethan considered this seriously before answering, "Maybe, but how could you not be by my side?"
Ashley tenderly added more food to his plate. "True. Eat a bit more now, and when we get to William's place, I'll cook something better for you. You'll ruin your stomach eating like this."
