Chapter 178 Going Home
The instruments in the ward made people panic. Kristen gripped Ethan’s hand tightly, unwilling to part with him.
She had called her aunt and asked her for a long time before she agreed to have the surgery first, on the premise that she had to go home.
According to Xenos Wood, the sooner he had done the surgery, the better it will be. Ethan couldn’t wait any longer.
“Ethan, forgive me for leaving without saying a word. I’ll deal with this matter as soon as possible, and then I’ll return to your side openly. At that time, I’ll tell you everything.”
Kristen left a kiss on Ethan’s forehead and turned to leave.
At the airport, Kristen dialed Anna’s number. “Anna, I have to rest for a while. I don’t want anyone to disturb me during this time.”
On the other side of the phone, Anna sat up in shock. “What? Sis Kristen, where are you going?”
“Go home.”
The plane took off. Kristen turned off her phone and cut off all communication.
A few hours later, the plane landed. The well-trained bodyguards outside the airport lined up in two rows. The people around could not help guessing who the big shot was.
Kristen walked out and the bodyguards bowed to her. “Miss.”
“Kristen.”
Mr. Old Oliver walked over and started to smile when he saw his granddaughter.
Although she was angry, looking at her grandfather’s aged face, Kristen’s heart softened.
“Grandpa, didn’t you say that I would go home myself? Why did you pick me up personally?”
“Grandpa misses you, doesn’t he? How long have you been walking around? Go home, your brothers are all at home.”
Mr. Old Oliver’s tone was a little reproachful, but it was also full of undisguised pampering.
When she returned home, her five brothers were already waiting at the door. When they saw Kristen getting out of the car, Aldrich took the lead to say, “Little sister, this is a very face of the thing. Not only did grandpa pick you up in person, but even we have to wait for you here.”
Kristen asked grumpily, “Are you sure I’ll be back?”
Gavin explained, “Aunt told me.”
Kristen’s eyes dimmed. Before she could think of Ethan, she was pulled into the house by her grandfather.
Back in her room, Kristen was overwhelmed with emotions.
When she saw her parents’ photos, her eyes couldn’t help turning red again.
“Mom, I’m also a big star now.”
Kristen choked with sobs. The woman in the photo was gentle and quiet, but very similar to her.
She wondered if her mother would be happy to see so many fans liking her.
“Kristen, let’s go out for dinner.”
Zeev’s voice sounded outside the door. Kristen opened the door and walked out.
Zeev saw her red eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Kristen pouted and shook her head.
“Well, don’t think too much about it. I will help you. Let’s go downstairs for dinner first.”
Zeev rubbed her head and blinked his eyes as if he was implying something.
Kristen nodded and felt a little at ease. “Fortunately, Second Brother understands me.”
At the dinner table, the family celebrated Kristen’s return. Kristen couldn’t t bear to throw a tantrum and played along with them.
Kristen sat in the garden, staring blankly at the lake. She turned on her phone and didn’t know if she should turn it on.
She was also afraid of seeing Ethan’s message of blame and hearing his disappointed voice.
Suddenly, her phone was taken away and thrown into the lake. Kristen stood up and asked angrily, “Fourth Brother, what are you doing?”
“Since you’re back, don’t think about anything else. Ethan isn’t suitable for you.”
“Fourth Brother, why do you suddenly say that?”
Kristen was taken aback. Although her Fourth Brother had disagreed with her earlier, he had never objected to it so much.
“If I say you’re not allowed, then you’re not allowed.”
Gavin had always been gentle, and it was rare for him to be so bossy.
Before Kristen could ask, Gavin had already entered the room.
Kristen looked at the calm surface of the lake and snorted under her breath.
Did he think that he could cut off their communication just because he had thrown away her phone? She had already memorized the phone number.
Kristen had thought that it would be easy to get a new cell phone, but none of them were willing to give it to her.
She almost begged everyone from top to bottom, but even his second brother could do nothing about it.
Kristen lost her temper and locked herself in her room.
In the past, as long as she pouted, Grandpa and her five brothers would be able to satisfy her no matter what she wanted. Now, she had stayed in her room for four days, but no one had come to ask about it. There were just three meals a day sent by someone.
Kristen ignored them until the fifth day that the door was knocked.
Anyway, they had keys, and the door was just decoration.
When Elvis walked in, he saw Kristen sitting on the railing on the balcony. She was dressed in a pure-white nightdress, with her black hair lazily spread over her shoulders. She was as beautiful as a princess waiting for the prince in a fairy tale.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the prince.
Elvis walked to the balcony and sat down. He sighed with emotion and said, “It’s almost the date of the engagement, but my fiancee is so unhappy. I don’t know what to do.”
Kristen lifted her eyes to look at him. Her eyes, which were bright as stars, were now dull and lifeless.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Elvis, I won’t be engaged.”
Elvis frowned slightly, turned around, and said with a bright smile, “Why? Am I not excellent enough?”
“You are excellent, but I already have someone in my heart. No one can replace him.”
Kristen’s words were direct. Short-term pain was better than long-term pain. He should understand this sooner or later.
Elvis twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile. “Feelings can be cultivated.”
“It’s impossible.”
Kristen sounded determined. Ethan had filled her heart and she could no longer have someone else in her heart.
After a long time, Elvis asked, “Then what do you intend to do?”
After he finished speaking these words, Elvis felt his heart tighten.
Although he had already guessed the answer, he still wanted to ask.
“I’m just telling you the truth. Even if I were engaged, I would run away.”
Kristen looked apologetic. “Elvis, there are some things that can’t be forced, such as feelings.”
“However, I am already very happy to be able to look at you like this.”
Elvis spoke stubbornly. He couldn’t accept it. It was destined that he had met her abroad.
She was his goddess. He wasn’t willing to give up before fighting for her.
With just one step, they would be able to get engaged smoothly.
They were engaged and had family blessings. How couldn’t they be compared to Ethan?
“I’ve said what I should say. Please go out, I’m going to rest.”
Kristen’s attitude was cold and hard. If the soft approach didn’t work, she would resort to the hard approach.
Elvis stood up and handed her a mobile phone.
“A new phone. Hide it well, or I will not be allowed to bring my mobile phone next time.”
Kristen’s body trembled, and she hurriedly reached out to take it.
“Thank you, Elvis.”
“As long as you have less prejudice against me, it’s worth it.”
Elvis laughed bitterly and left.
When the door closed, Kristen hurriedly dialed Ethan’s number.
At the last step, she hesitated and dialed Anna’s number.
