The Doted Lady Is So Wild

With that in mind, Kristen continued filming in the afternoon. Most of the scenes were done in one shot.

“Kristen, your acting skills have improved again.”

After a busy afternoon, the director walked up to Kristen and couldn’t stop praising her. “In my opinion, you are the newcomer with the most potential this year.”

“Thank you.” Kristen was very happy to have the professional’s approval. “I will continue to work hard.”

By the time Kristen finished her work for the day and was preparing to go home, it was already past 10 p. m.

In the minivan, Kristen couldn’t help yawning.

Seeing Kristen look so sleepy, Anna said softly, “Miss Healey, you can sleep for a while first. You haven’t had a rest since you went out. I’ll wake you up when we get home.”

“All right.” Kristen had barely uttered a word before she fell asleep.

After all, she had just come back from her vacation. She could not take the high-intensity work so quickly.

The car drove steadily on the road. Kristen slept soundly. After an unknown period of time, Anna patted her gently on the shoulder.

“Miss Healey, we’re here.”

“Hmm? Well, so soon.” Kristen woke up and looked out to find that she had indeed reached home. “The speed of light. I didn’t feel that I have slept for long.”

Anna’s heart ached when she saw that Kristen was tired and sleepy.

“Go upstairs and have a good rest. There are no activities for the time being tomorrow morning. You can have a good sleep this time.”

“That’s great.” Kristen stretched herself before putting on her cap and getting out of the car.

When she got home, Kristen was still sleepy and didn’t notice anything unusual in the room. After washing up in the bathroom, she changed into pajamas and went into the bedroom.

As soon as she entered the door, someone hugged her tightly from behind.

Startled by this sudden movement, Kristen couldn’t help screaming. She suddenly came to her senses. “Oh my! Who is it?”

“It’s me.” A familiar voice came from behind her. With the warm feeling of the back, Kristen felt that she was about to shed tears.

“Ethan!” Kristen turned around in surprise to see the familiar face. “Why are you back? Weren’t you receiving treatment on the island?”

Before Kristen could finish speaking, Ethan pulled her into his embrace.

“Kristen, I miss you.” His warm breath hit her on the back of her ear, mixed with a deep longing for her.

“Originally, I could have restrained myself a little before meeting you. However, after you left, I could no longer control my longing for you.”

Kristen smiled involuntarily. She teased him. “It seems that you can’t leave me, Mr. Wharton.”

Ethan didn’t deny it, instead, he said yes with certainty.

“I can’t live without you, nor do I want to leave you.”

Kristen was satisfied with the answer and hugged him tightly.

An unknown amount of time passed before Kristen let Ethan go.

She carefully assessed his health condition.

“But you haven’t fully recovered, have you? Isn’t it bad to leave like this?” Kristen frowned slightly, her eyes full of concern for Ethan.

Kristen never wanted to experience the feeling that she had almost lost Ethan the last time.

“The operation was very successful. Now, I just need to take a good rest.”

Seeing her care so much for him, Ethan comforted her.

“Don’t worry, I know myself well. I just hope that you’ll be by my side.”

After a pause, Ethan deliberately became serious and asked Kristen, “Or you don’t want to see me?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Kristen pursed her lips and said, “Of course not.”

She felt more at ease with him by her side.

“As long as you’re by my side, safe and sound, everything’s fine.”

With that, Kristen threw herself into Ethan’s arms and the two of them hugged tightly.

“Kristen, did I tell you something?”

“What?”

Ethan leaned into her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I love you.”

Kristen trembled slightly. This seemed to be the first time he had confessed his love for her so straightforwardly.

“Ethan, are you confessing your love to me?”

Ethan hummed, “You are the only woman I’ve ever truly fallen in love with.”

The smile on Kristen’s face widened. She could not hide the joy in her heart.

Seeing her smile, Ethan couldn’t help kissing her.

Kristen wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck and responded warmly.

The kiss became more and more intense. In the end, Ethan directly picked Kristen up and went to bed. Kristen quickly interrupted, “You…”

Ethan grinned wickedly, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. It won’t be a problem.”

After a while, the dense atmosphere in the room spread.

When Kristen woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.

Feeling soreness all over, Kristen could not help complaining softly, “Ethan’s physical strength is really a mystery. Logically speaking, he has just had an operation. Shouldn’t he be very weak? But why can’t I see it at all?”

As she spoke, Kristen realized that Ethan was not there.

“Ethan?” Kristen felt anxious.

Could it be that there was something wrong with Ethan?

“Ethan, are you here?” Kristen kept calling Ethan’s name and went downstairs. Seeing Ethan appear in the living room on the first floor, Kristen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why did you wake up so early?” Seeing Kristen coming downstairs, Ethan quickly came up to her. “It’s rare to take a good rest. Go upstairs and sleep a little more.”

Seeing that Ethan was fully dressed, Kristen asked softly, “Are you going out?”

“Uh-huh.” Ethan nodded slightly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the office. There are some things that I need to handle personally.”

After all, during the days Ethan wasn’t around, Scarlett had ruined the company’s reputation. Now that Ethan was finally discharged from the hospital, it was natural for him to deal with it by himself.

“No.” Kristen refused without thinking. “You haven’t recovered yet. You are now a patient. How can you go out? Auntie… Doctor M said that you need to take a good rest. Why are you not following her words so soon?”
