I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence's words reached Ethan Channing's ears. Was it an illusion, or did it seem like Terrence was subtly insulting him?

Ethan Channing took a sip of his drink, crossed his legs, and smiled. "You still believe in fortune tellers."

"Sometimes you have to," Terrence said mysteriously. "Before I met my wife, a fortune teller told me I'd get married at thirty. Sure enough, I did. Later, the fortune teller said I'd encounter petty people. Guess what? There was a traitor in my house."

Every word from Terrence seemed casual but struck Ethan Channing deeply, making his heart race.

If not taken personally, Terrence's words were ordinary. But if they were, they had deeper meaning.

Ethan Channing smirked. "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't fear ghosts knocking at your door. What wrongs have you done?"

Terrence pondered for a moment and then stared intensely at Ethan Channing. "None."

Those two words filled Ethan Channing with intense resentment.

Indeed, after ten years, Terrence had forgotten he once caused the death of a couple.

Ethan Channing hinted, "Maybe you've forgotten your wrongdoings. I believe in fate too-debts must be repaid."

Terrence watched Ethan Channing closely and didn't miss the hatred in his eyes.

He owed Ethan Channing neither money nor life. Where did this hatred come from?

Over the years, Terrence had unknowingly offended people, but he had no memory of Ethan Channing.

Ethan Channing's real name was Rhys Lyons-a name unfamiliar to Terrence.

Terrence took a sip of his drink and put down the glass. "I know what I've done. Besides owing my parents and wife and daughter, I owe no one anything. Recently, someone died in this club-pushed off the roof. Who will repay that life?" Ethan Channing smirked coldly. He didn't believe Terrence; no one would admit to causing a death.

"You mentioned someone named Justin?" Ethan Channing pretended to be curious. "I heard the culprit was caught."

"Yes, someone was arrested-a staff member of this club," Terrence said meaningfully. "The culprit's ex-wife suddenly got rich after his arrest. Do you think he took the fall for someone?"

Ethan Channing laughed. "How would I know? But you seem to understand taking the fall better than anyone."

Years ago, didn't Terrence make his driver take the blame?

Both men were probing each other, but Terrence didn't grasp Ethan Channing's meaning.

Regardless, if Ethan Channing wanted to oppose him, Terrence was ready to fight back.

Terrence returned home late.

Meredith had already put their daughter to sleep. Seeing them asleep warmed Terrence's heart.

As long as his wife and daughter were well, all his efforts felt worthwhile.

This was the realization of a married man.

Just as Terrence was about to shower, Little Lucky woke up in Meredith's arms, reaching out for her father.

Her gesture melted Terrence's heart.

To let Meredith sleep well, he took Little Lucky outside the room.

Little Lucky was hungry and wanted her night feed. At night, she babbled a lot, trying to talk.

No matter what Terrence said, Little Lucky listened intently and responded with excitement.

She made "oh oh oh" sounds as if she understood everything.

"My sweet daughter," Terrence said happily, kissing her cheek. "When you can talk, tell Daddy what you want; I'll buy it for you."

Little Lucky warmed Terrence's heart now; people say kids warm your heart when they're young but drive you crazy when they grow up. To him, his daughter was perfect in every way. Terrence played with her for a long time in the side hall. She wouldn't sleep; neither would he.

Near midnight, Little Lucky was still awake. Terrence laughed. "Rowan, you need to sleep soon. Staying up late will give you dark circles; girls need their beauty sleep."

Meredith laughed as she came looking for her daughter. "Because of Rowan, I really have dark circles now! This little one has defeated me completely."

Meredith admitted defeat after failing to stay up with their daughter.
