Seducing the Mafia Boss Chapter 18

Ethan went abroad again.

After leaving this time, he truly had no news as I'd hoped.

I originally thought I could relax a bit, but unexpectedly spent every day lost and distracted.

Lucas, as the person by my side, was also the first to notice my abnormality.

"Ms. Shaw, you like that man, don't you?"

My silence lost its effect.

Lucas suddenly changed from his usual silence and began advising.

"Since you already have someone you care about, why not be frank and directly express your feelings to them?"

"Even if you fail, it's better than missing the opportunity and never being able to speak again in this lifetime."

I couldn't respond to Lucas's feelings, much less respond to Ethan's.

"He and I aren't suitable."

"Someone like me, a career woman, is better locked to my career."

The lighthearted joke didn't make Lucas relax.

He still frowned, looking preoccupied.

I was just about to chat with him more when I was suddenly told a foreigner had come looking for me.

The person's face was very familiar—clearly one of the bodyguards who used to follow Ethan.

Seeing his hurried expression, my heart sank heavily.

If not sitting in a chair, I'd probably have gone weak-kneed and slid to the floor.

"Why are you alone? What happened? Where's Ethan?"

I tried hard to appear calm, but the rapid-fire questions still revealed my inner turmoil.

The bodyguard looked at me with complicated eyes, the words he spoke like a blow to my head.

"The boss... something happened to him."

How could that be?

Ethan was a top-tier boss in the underworld.

How could such a figure have an accident out of nowhere?

I forced out a smile, my voice extremely hoarse.

"You're lying."

"Ethan wants me to find him, so he came up with this method, right?"

The bodyguard shook his head, his expression showing sympathy for the first time.

"I'm not lying to you. The boss really had an accident."

"The boss fell in love with you and wanted to properly register your marriage, but with his previous identity, doing such a thing was almost impossible."

"To successfully whitewash and come ashore, he cut off many industries under his name. His power also greatly reduced because of this, but unexpectedly this attracted enemy covetousness."

Ethan's base was abroad.

The bodyguard said when he returned this time, he'd originally planned to move the whole family back to the country, stabilize himself, then properly come pursue me.

But unexpectedly, before the plan could succeed, someone got wind of it and intercepted his ship at sea.
