Ethan's grandmother is nearly old but still has an elegant posture and the outstanding temperament of a famous noblewoman. Ethan's grandmother was widowed at less than forty years old. Since the death of her husband, she took her son to leave the United States to return to the country, but her only son and daughter-in-law, twenty years ago, because of a car accident, left the world. However, the good thing is that there are still two grandchildren at the knees of Ethan and Lucas, grandsons have been very filial and obedient, and therefore, this weathered older man's face does not see many traces of age washing, always smiling at people with a kind and kind look. The grandchildren have always been very filial and obedient, and therefore, this weathered older man's face does not see many traces of the washing of the years, always smiling and laughing at people with a kind and kind look.
But to Ethan and Lucas, their grandma is an old codger who has a lot of ideas and doesn't play by the book.
For example, the so-called blind date banquet arranged for Ethan.
Ethan is only twenty-eight years old and is the general manager of a multinational company. He is from a wealthy family but also looks talented and handsome. He is also known in the city as the diamond bachelor. With his close friends, this guy is a bender with the will to chase people for six years; the key is that he has not yet won the hand!
As early as five years ago, Ethan returned from studying in the United Kingdom. Ethan's grandmother came out of the closet, confessed that he likes a man, and said that sooner or later to chase him to bring him back. Ethan's grandmother, from the beginning of this, is not very understanding but also does not interfere with the later will also be tacitly accepted, but even she did not think that his eyes counted on the perfect golden grandson in the six-year-long In her eyes, the perfect golden grandson in a six-year-long career of unrequited love to the end, or completely fell out of love, Ethan's grandmother could not bear to see her grandson sink into the pain of lost love can not pull themselves out, so they opened up, in their social circle expansive heroes, vowed to help her precious grandson to find that destiny of the other half.
Of course, Ethan's grandmother overthought some things. Ethan falling out of love is a fact. Still, it said that he would be depressed, trapped in the pain of lost love, and can not be extricated, and even he feels very incredible. In addition to the beginning of the discovery of William cheating on their anger, yes, it is the anger rather than the other, and William and other people marry, and that person is still their own! Pro cousin, at that moment after the disappointment, but he did not have much feeling, and then thought back to the past six years, suddenly found that rather than to William is like to the point that he can not be. Still, more because of his unconvincing character, from childhood to the big, he identified things have not failed; William here is the first time he planted a big heel.
In such a state of mind, he did not bother to talk to those with sympathetic eyes to see their relatives and friends. As Ethan's grandmother arranged to help him out of the shadow of the lost love of the blind date banquet, the older man's good intentions, he did not want to refuse.
Ethan's family in the suburbs of the high-grade villa is rarely so lively when it comes to the young talent, the city's celebrities, both men and women. Ethan has been severe with Ethan's grandmother, who stresses that he likes the man. Ethan's grandmother cheerfully said that no matter whether it is a son or a young lady, more to know a person is always no harm, and then led him one by one, the introduction of the past, exaggeratingly. She introduced him to each of them, exaggerating how good her grandson was and trying to sell him as if he were a treasure.
Ethan, because of her actions and uncomfortable, can not help but regret agreeing to participate in this d*mn matchmaking banquet, or Lucas, that boy has foresight, a look at the situation is not correct, find an excuse to slip away, leaving him to be caught by Ethan's grandma, want to go can not go away.
The good thing is that Ethan's grandmother is not crazy enough to tell people that this is for his grandson to pick the other half, but in the name of her birthday party, although most people have been unaware of it.
Bored out of his mind, Ethan thought about how he would get out of this, and as his eyes swung unconsciously over, he caught sight of Marcus standing in the corner, talking in a low voice to a pretty girl.
Ethan was surprised that Marcus was there, thinking he shouldn't have any friendship with his grandmother. So he was taken over by Ethan's grandmother on her arm, who smiled and introduced them to each other. Of course, the focus of the introduction was on the red-faced girl beside Marcus, the granddaughter of one of her old friends, and as for Marcus, she didn't know him either.
Instead, the girl whispered, 'He's my cousin.'
Ethan smiled and extended his hand towards Marcus, 'Marcus, hello again.'
The corner of Marcus's mouth twitched as he reached out his hand and shook him back, feeling Ethan's intentionally increased hand strength and resisting his temper. He didn't shake his hand off on the spot after all.
Ethan's grandmother touched Ethan's arm and asked him, 'You know each other?'
Ethan looked at Marcus and answered her, 'Business partners.'And one-night stand partner.
Marcus grimaced. He wasn't even trying to work with Lyson.
A few people made small talk, and Ethan's grandmother saw that Ethan wasn't interested in the little girl and dragged him elsewhere to introduce people.
The little girl's eyes were glued to Ethan's back, and Marcus frowned as he reminded her, 'He's not right for you, get over it.'
Waiting for Ethan to follow Ethan's grandma to finish getting to know all the people to get rid of the shackles, he finally let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Marcus, originally stood in the place long no one, shook his head, took advantage of no one's attention, hid outside, so as not to be a moment again by the grandma stared at.
Marcus was getting into the car with the girl and wanted to leave. Ethan didn't hesitate, lifted his foot, and walked over, calling out to them and asking Marcus, 'The banquet isn't over yet, and you guys are leaving?'
Marcus pointed aside to the girl, 'It's too late, I'll take her home.'
'About what we said last time, Lyson and LK...'
Marcus was speechless and hurriedly interrupted, 'Ethan young master, today is your grandma's birthday, can we not talk about this?'
Ethan laughed, 'Then why don't Marcus give us the honor to make an appointment and we'll talk about it slowly?'
Marcus commented that he also no longer cared about him. He took the girl into the car and wanted to go, but coincidentally, the car could not start.
After several attempts, there was still no response. Ethan knocked on the window, and Marcus had no choice but to lower the glass. The other bent down, looked at the dark dial, and asked him, 'It won't start?'
'Probably broken.'
'You don't know how to fix a car?'
'You do?'Marcus asked him back.
Ethan shrugged and added, 'Why don't I give you guys a lift back?'
Marcus opened the door and exited the car, standing straight and facing him. 'That won't be necessary. You can lend me a car, and I'll pay you back in a few days before I call for someone to come and get my car.'
'I only have one car here,' Ethan said,' And I'm going back to the city.'
It was only when a few people had switched to Ethan's car that Marcus finally relented and asked him, 'You're leaving early for your grandmother's birthday party? You don't live here?'
'She won't care, I'm staying at a flat in the city, close to the office.'Ethan replied casually.
No one spoke again after that, and it wasn't until they got into the city, dropped the little girl off at home, and saw her waving at Marcus as she went into the building that Ethan smiled and asked, 'How come you're going to be at my grandma's birthday party, too?'
Marcus grunted coldly, 'You wouldn't know what your grandmother had in mind?'
'So?'
'I accompanied Kei.'
Ethan lost his smile, 'And you're afraid I'll abduct your cousin?'
'Does your grandmother know that you like men?' Marcus asked.
'Knows.'
'Then she still...'
'She thinks I'm attracted to women, maybe she thinks I can change my sexuality after being spurred on by a love affair because a man begged for it before.'
'...'
Ethan looked sideways at Marcus, 'What do you like about William?'
Marcus did not say anything, staring blankly out of the car window at the city's night scene, a long time, so long that Ethan thought he would not say when he slowly opened his mouth:'Listen to him play the piano.'
'...'Ethan wanted to say, as far as he knew, William should not be able to play at all, no matter whether it was the piano, accordion, or whatever, but the words came to his mouth, and then he thought about it, even he knew William not as he initially thought. He didn't realize William as well as he thought, and Marcus must be similar.
'Do you?'Marcus suddenly turned to look at him, 'What do you like about him again?'
Ethan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and tapped his chin with the other, thinking for a moment before grinning, 'I tried to conquer him but failed miserably.'
... really is incapable of communication.
Marcus has very few relatives in the country and lives alone. Ethan drove the car to the bottom of his designated apartment building and was surprised to find it was not far from his place. He saw Marcus unbuckle his seat belt to get out of the car and called out to him, ambiguously smiling, 'Marcus, I'll send you back. Won't you invite me up for a cup of tea?'
Marcus looked at him, seeming to assess the deep meaning in his words, and after half a day, suddenly asked, 'You wouldn't be, because you slept with me once. You're in love with me, right?'
'...'This time, it was Ethan's turn to be speechless.
'Don't I?'
'I thought you'd be very evasive about mentioning that incident,' Ethan grinned,' but where the hell did you get the confidence that I'd move on and fall in love with you after we slept together just that once?'
'Isn't that what you've been pestering me with so much attention?'
Facing Cold eyes, Ethan also withdrew his cynical attitude and said,' Marcus, honestly, I do have the intention of courting you, but it's for the LK yacht's agency rights.'
Marcus said, 'Regarding that, I advise you to put off the idea while you still can.'
'Is there any other reason than the grandiose one you gave?'
'I don't want to get too involved with you, I can't see you without thinking of William and that makes me uncomfortable.'Marcus was honest, of course. The reason for the discomfort was also the fact that seeing him made me unconsciously think of being crushed by him so much that Marcus didn't want to talk about it.
Ethan was a little shell-shocked, 'I thought you weren't such a public/private person.'
Marcus didn't say anything else, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.
Ethan watched him until he entered the flat and the lift doors were closed, then he sighed softly in helplessness and started the car to leave.
