Chapter 1481: The Door Was Locked from Inside
Jolene didn’t know why Ethan Barnes wouldn’t touch her. She didn’t dare to ask, nor did she know if the other women were in the same situation as her, and she didn’t dare to ask about that either.
Now Ethan had picked her to spend the night with again, which made Jolene overjoyed inside. She wanted to seize every opportunity to become Ethan’s legitimate woman as soon as possible.
Soon, with a soft "click," the room door opened, and Ethan walked in.
"King Hayden, you’ve come~" Jolene immediately ran over, her soft body melting into Ethan’s embrace.
Ethan closed the door, then pushed her away with his forehead, frowning in disdain, "What did you put on? Why is the smell so overpowering?"
"It’s perfume; it should smell nice, right?"
"Are you trying to cover up some other smell on you? Did you pour a whole bottle of perfume on?" Ethan said bluntly.
"..." After all, she was a girl; how could he speak so venomously?
Jolene felt his indifference and coldness towards her, the same as before, but she didn’t want to give up this opportunity, so she cuddled up to him again, "King Hayden, let me help you bathe?"
"No need, I have my own hands, I can do it myself." Ethan walked straight into the bathroom, leaving Jolene to lean on empty air, collapsing onto the carpet.
Ouch.
Jolene cried out in pain.
As she lifted her head, the bathroom door had already closed in front of her, Jolene felt speechless, "..."
Ethan took a quick cold shower and came out with a black silk robe draped over him, his wet short hair clinging to his forehead, still dripping water, making him seem even younger and more handsome than usual, wild and unruly.
"King Hayden, you’re done showering? Let me help you undress for bed~" Jolene wanted to get to the main event as soon as possible.
But Ethan cast a chilly glance at her, "What, don’t understand the rules anymore?"
The words were simple, yet intimidating, making Jolene stiffen immediately, her face turning pale.
She knew Ethan’s rule was for her to stay alone in her room, not to disturb him.
Sure enough, tonight was no exception, Ethan had no intention of being intimate with her.
Ethan didn’t spare her another glance, instead sitting on the sofa, picking up documents to review.
As usual, he would sleep on the sofa tonight, never coming to her bed.
Jolene was eager to pounce on Ethan and get it over with, but she had the desire without the courage, so she could do nothing but lie in bed by herself.
In this vast harem, without a man’s affection, it was akin to waiting for death. Jolene tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She felt she couldn’t afford to just accept her fate; she had to think of a way.
Jolene discreetly took out an incense, which had a unique function.
Jolene had a particular expertise in floral scents; a flower’s fragrance could save a person or kill a person, and, of course, arouse passion. She had secretly made this little incense a long time ago, just waiting for Ethan to come so it could be used.
Although, she didn’t really want to use this method.
In terms of beauty, she was the standout in the entire harem. She couldn’t understand why Ethan didn’t like her. She was not resigned to losing or willing to surrender.
Ethan was reviewing documents. Celeste Linden had her time of the month, which was inconvenient, so he’d be abstinent for a few days, keeping himself absorbed in work to avoid idle thoughts.
At some point, he suddenly felt hot, his body temperature rising steadily, even his throat turning scalding, he was very thirsty.
What was happening?
Ethan stood up and poured himself a glass of water.
At this moment, a soft body suddenly pressed against him from behind, someone embracing him tightly, "King Hayden, what’s happening, are you hot now, do you want me to help you cool down~"
Ethan wanted to push the woman behind him away, but his hands wouldn’t obey. When she hugged him, his overheated body seemed to feel a bit cooler.
He was very thirsty; this woman’s body seemed to quench his thirst.
Seeing his lack of refusal, Jolene felt a burst of elation. She knew the drug was working. Her small hand slowly crawled up, touching Ethan’s firm, muscular chest, his body so good, wild yet wicked like him, was irresistible.
"King Hayden, I’m here oh~" She attempted to untie Ethan’s robe.
But then Ethan turned around, immediately reaching out to push her away, "Get off!"
Ethan’s strength was vast; Jolene stumbled, crashing against the table and chair.
Ouch.
So painful.
Ethan stared at Jolene with a sinister look, "Was it you who did something?"
Oh no, had she been found out?
Jolene quickly shook her head with tears brimming in her eyes, confused and innocent, "King Hayden, what are you talking about? I completely don’t understand your words. I was sleeping well when I saw you get up to drink water. King Hayden, I’ve loved you for a long time, always keeping you in my heart, why don’t you love me back?"
The beauty Jolene shed tears.
Ethan had long walked the path, seeing such low tricks often, now feeling hot and restless, he knew he’d been drugged.
But he wasn’t sure where he had been drugged.
"No one has ever dared bring such ideas to me. It’s best if I don’t find out this is related to you, or else you should know your fate!" Ethan dangerously narrowed his eyes.
Jolene was secretly alarmed, usually, a man who inhaled such incense would have succumbed, but Ethan’s willpower and endurance were surprisingly strong. The world saw he had a vast harem full of various beauties, and he was also known for being charming and amorous, but they were fooled by his appearance.
"King Hayden, I truly don’t understand what you’re saying..."
Ethan no longer wished to waste time here. He was certain he would find out who was behind it.
Ethan let out a cold snort before sweeping out the door.
Where was he going?
Jolene had always suspected Ethan might have not favored other beauties, including that Celeste Linden, and that Celeste might also be just for show like her.
Jolene followed quickly outside, she wanted to see who Ethan would go to now?
Could it be he had a physical problem, or was it an issue with his preferences?
In the corridor, Ethan strode out, arriving at Celeste Linden’s door, raising his hand to knock, "Celeste Linden, it’s me, open the door quickly!"
Jolene paused, surprised he knocked on Celeste Linden’s door. Could it be that there’s truly something between him and Celeste?
Jolene’s gaze sparkled.
There was no response from inside the room.
Celeste Linden didn’t open the door, nor did she make any sound.
"Celeste Linden, open the door quickly!" Ethan called multiple times, then his large hand reached for the door handle, intending to open it directly.
But, the door had been locked from the inside.
