Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation
Chapter 74 Then It Seems Like She’s Overthinking It

Ethan had used harsh methods to deal with everyone who had participated in this matter, but he hadn't pursued the third eldest's mother.

Donny raised his head and looked at Ethan's unhappy face.

He continued, "I know you've been with Ms. Clayton for many years. When you were going to get engaged... I also saw you ask your lawyer to draw up a document, that after Ms. Clayton gives birth, half of your EMC shares will be automatically transferred to the child..."

"Sir, Ms. Clayton has already married the third eldest." Donny said in a low voice like he was reminding the man, "You've already done enough for Ms. Clayton..."

"The third eldest will always be my older brother." Ethan interrupted him with a cold expression, "I owe him my life."

He slightly lowered his eyes to look at Donny, his manner imposing, "Go pick up George Deleon."

"...yes." Donny said nothing more, bowed towards the man, and then walked towards the stairs.

He sighed silently.

In this world, perhaps only Ms. Clayton would dare to shoot at him and still make him unconditionally do anything for her.

Even though he married, it was also only for Delores Clayton.

It might be that the brandy was too strong, or the man's kissing skills were too good. It was as if Clara was floating in a vast space, and her mind was confused.

When she was woken up by the sun outside the window, her head still hurt a little.

Clara rubbed her head and sat on the bed for a while, then slowly she remembered that last night she had come to look for Ethan.

Pushing him against the wall, flirting with him...

Remembering everything that happened last night, Clara blushed thoroughly and was a little embarrassed. When she looked down, she found that she was still wearing yesterday's singlet and short skirt. Her body also didn't feel different.

So, they didn't do it last night?

Clara inexplicably felt frustrated, wondering why the man had been almost about to strip naked and then had suddenly left.

After washing up, Clara went downstairs to have breakfast.

Only Baxter was eating. He told Clara that Ethan had something urgent to deal with and had left with his brother in the early morning.

"Oh." Clara pulled out a chair and sat down, pouring herself some orange juice.

It seemed like she was overthinking things.

Clara took a few sips of orange juice and put it down to see Baxter staring at her with a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but frown, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Baxter's expression changed instantly, and he said with a smile, "Of course, it's because you are cute!"

"Shut up!" Clara didn't think he was praising her. Instead, she felt goosebumps all over her body, and wanted to throw up.

While eating breakfast, she turned on her phone to read the news.

Suddenly, from the financial news, she saw a report that said ARCTIC Group had added a new shareholder. The newcomer seemed to from the Sweetriver area and one of the Preston's people. Preston?

Clara slid down but did not see any information about the new shareholder. She remembered that Ethan had said he would help her recapture ARCTIC within half a year.

Did he arrange for this man to become a shareholder?

After eating breakfast, Clara had nothing else to do and so grabbed Baxter to ask a few questions.

After learning that Ethan liked mandarin fish, she went with Mae to buy vegetables and got a few mandarin fishes.

Clara stayed in the kitchen all day learning to cook fish with Mae, and Baxter was forced to help her try the results.

After trying to eat the third plate of mandarin fish, Baxter put on a desperate expression. "Clara, don't kill the fish. Kill me because I can't live."

"Does it taste that bad?" Clara muttered as she took a bite herself. Upon tasting it her face twisted into a grimace.

Was this her cooking?

Evening, with seven or eight mandarin fish and a half of Baxter wasted, Clara finally made a plate of mandarin fish that tasted good.

Even Mae couldn't help but praise her. "Young lady, this fish tastes wonderful. I'm sure Ethan will like it."

Mae looked at the clock on the wall, smiled, and said to Clara, "It's almost time to eat. Call Ethan and tell him to come back and eat."

"Forget it. I'm afraid he'll replace me a nuisance." Clara brought out the mandarin fish and placed it in the middle of the table.

She just wanted to make something that Ethan loved to eat to thank him.

Hearing this, Mae shook her head and earnestly taught Clara, "Only strangers are afraid being a nuisance. Yes, I know about your agreement with Ethan, but you've gotten a marriage certificate with him. Living under one roof and eating together, you two can't be like strangers."

Mae had watched Clara grow up and thought of herself as half her mother, Mae hoped that she could take revenge and hoped that someone could take care of her for the rest of her life.

When she thought of what had happened to Clara, tears not only welled up in Mae's eyes, but she also couldn't help but urge Clara on. "Try it! If Ethan considers it a nuisance, then you just don't need to call him next time. Besides, mandarin fish won't taste good if kept for too long."

Hearing what Mae said, Clara hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay, I'll call him."
