Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 189

What was the connection between these two?

It wasn't a coincidence that Micah suddenly returned to the country.

He had questioned Micah for a long time, but the boy acted clueless, not giving him a single hint.

Ethan finished his whiskey, put the glass down, and picked up his phone to call Tony.

"Look into Andy and Micah," he said.

Tony sounded puzzled. "Boss, Andy has been famous since the start, right? He's a famous pigment artist, always in the spotlight. What's there to dig up?"

"Was he dead before he became famous?" Ethan asked.

Tony was speechless.

He gasped. "Uh, got it. I understand."

The living room was dark. Ethan's sharp face was partly hidden in shadows, and only his serious, unreadable eyes were easy to see. He said coldly, "As for Micah, find out his connection to Andy. Are they really brothers? Also, track everything about his life overseas in the last 18 years. I want every detail."

Ethan remembered meeting Micah when he was just 18.

Looking back, it seemed like that meeting might have been planned.

How could a teen who spent most of his time in bars, without anyone watching, never get into trouble? And how could a few words from a stranger like Ethan have supposedly changed his life?

If that was true, this boy was far too naïve.

But if it wasn't, there must be something they're hiding.

Ethan pressed his tongue against his cheek, a sharp look flashing in his dark eyes.

He ended the call and stayed still for a moment, making sure all the tension inside him had faded before going upstairs.

He took a shower and went to sleep.

He tried not to wake Dawn, but she rolled toward him, as if she knew he was there.

Her hands rested on his chest easily.

Then she settled into a comfortable position and went back to sleep.

Ethan froze in place.

He sighed quietly, pulled her close by the waist, and fell asleep.

Dawn always tossed and turned in her sleep, but she didn't know how bad it really was. Most of the time, Ethan got up before she did.

Today was no different.

By the time she got ready and went downstairs. Ethan was already eating breakfast.

After greeting Hannah and Tara, she finally looked at him.

"Did you stay late at work last night?"

Ethan looked up but didn't say anything.

Dawn guessed he was wondering why she asked, so she pointed to her eyes. "You've got dark circles, Mr. Jackson."

Ethan grinned. "Thanks for caring, Honey."
