His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 111: Hmph, I Knew You Were Just Pretending to Be Good

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Hmph, I Knew You Were Just Pretending to Be Good

Kiana Sutton went to the bathroom, and Ethan Sinclair made a phone call to Connor Grant while waiting for her.

"Investigate when Kiana Sutton learned to paint, and also find out which university she attended."

When they got married, Ethan Sinclair hated the Sutton Family and despised Kiana Sutton even more.

Regarding Kiana Sutton as his wife, he felt irritated even looking at her, much less understanding her.

But ever since they had relations when he was drunk, he felt strangely affected by Kiana Sutton’s presence.

Especially today, upon seeing Kiana Sutton holding a paintbrush, his head hurt intensely, and for a moment, the figure of the girl in his dream overlapped with Kiana Sutton’s.

What’s going on?

He and Kiana Sutton clearly didn’t know each other, so why did she feel so familiar to him?

Could it be that Kiana Sutton was part of the memory he had lost?

Thinking of this made his head hurt again.

As Kiana Sutton came out of the bathroom, she saw Ethan Sinclair leaning against the wall.

He was dressed in a meticulously tailored black suit, with a perfectly proportioned physique combined with his innate noble aura, shining even at the bathroom entrance.

Kiana Sutton hadn’t expected Ethan Sinclair to actually wait for her, and it felt sweet to her.

Then she noticed Ethan Sinclair’s pale and uncomfortable face, and as she saw him pinching his brow, she hurried over to him.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

His dark eyes shifted from her fingers to her face, seeing her worried and anxious expression, Ethan Sinclair felt his whole being relax a little, and his head leaned against Kiana Sutton’s shoulder.

Kiana Sutton was 1.65 meters tall, while Ethan Sinclair was 1.86 meters.

Ethan Sinclair had to bend quite a bit to lean on Kiana Sutton’s shoulder.

Kiana Sutton, fearing he was uncomfortable, quickly stood on tiptoe, not knowing where to put her hands, wanting to touch him but not daring to.

Ethan Sinclair had never acted so warmly when sober, nor depended on her, so what was happening today?

"Kiana Sutton..."

His voice revealed exhaustion, and Kiana Sutton couldn’t respond, so she poked his arm with her fingers to show she was listening.

"You’re so short!"

Kiana Sutton: "..."

"You’re the short one, your whole family is short!"

Ethan Sinclair slowly got up and looked at Kiana Sutton, seeing her angry puffed-up expression, he chuckled lightly, "You can’t speak, but I bet you’re cursing me in your heart!"

Kiana Sutton immediately showed a brilliant smile, shaking her head obediently.

"Hmph... being all sweet like that!"

Just as Kiana Sutton wanted to retort, Ethan Sinclair had already turned away, "Let’s go, if we delay any longer, Grandma will personally come looking for us."

When the two returned to the banquet hall, everyone from the Sinclair Family was present except for Zoe Xavier.

As Kiana Sutton went over, she overheard Rosalind Joyce complaining, "What’s going on with the sister-in-law? She clearly knew today was Mom’s eighty-eighth birthday celebration, but the banquet is almost over, and she’s still not back; she really doesn’t care about the Sinclair Family or Mom!"

Zoe Xavier had been busy filming abroad recently, and according to the plan, she could have made it back before the birthday feast, but due to various reasons, her flight was canceled, and she had to catch a connecting flight back.

This delayed her quite a bit.

Zoe Xavier is Howard Sinclair’s wife and Ethan Sinclair’s mother. She was originally the Xavier Family’s daughter in Cloud City, but when the Xavier Family fell into hard times, she entered the entertainment industry.

By rights, prestigious families generally dislike women from the entertainment industry, but Howard Sinclair, due to the grandmother’s interference with his first love, married Zoe Xavier in anger.

The grandmother was displeased, but she never expressed dissatisfaction with Zoe Xavier.

Firstly, although Zoe Xavier worked in the entertainment industry, she genuinely loved acting, not treating it as a springboard for material desires and money.

Secondly, although the Xavier Family fell into decline, Zoe Xavier was undoubtedly a privileged daughter of a wealthy family, as evidenced by her excellent upbringing.

Thirdly, although Howard Sinclair married Zoe Xavier, his mind was always occupied by thoughts of his first love, often using psychological abuse against Zoe Xavier. Later, when he tried to reunite with his first love, the grandmother kicked him out of the Sinclair Family and kept Zoe Xavier as daughter-in-law.

Rosalind Joyce viewed Zoe Xavier as a woman with considerable skills.

First marrying into the Sinclair Family, then driving her own husband out, allowing her son to inherit the Evercrest Group, while she herself flourished in the entertainment industry.

It made others feel jealous, envious, and that life was unfair.

Thus, in this family, Rosalind Joyce most disliked Zoe Xavier and would seize any chance to scold her.

"Sorry, I’m late."

Speak of the devil and he’ll appear.

Even though Zoe Xavier rushed back, the moment she entered, everyone’s eyes instinctively focused on her.

As a film queen, Zoe Xavier carries an aura, fashion sense, and looks that stand out remarkably.

Kiana Sutton hasn’t seen Howard Sinclair himself or seen his pictures, so she doesn’t know what he looks like.

Though Stephen Sinclair and Marcus Sinclair are both handsome, Howard Sinclair shouldn’t be too shabby, but Ethan Sinclair’s appearance largely takes after Zoe Xavier.

Zoe Xavier cast a cold, detached glance at Rosalind Joyce, who instantly deflated.

Zoe Xavier went directly to the grandmother, "Mom, I’m sorry... Here’s my gift, wishing you a happy birthday, good health, and peace."

Zoe Xavier handed a snuff bottle from the Ming Dynasty to the grandmother, who accepted it and smiled faintly, "I’m glad you’re here, thanks for your efforts."

At this moment, the butler arrived.

He leaned close to the grandmother and whispered, "Madam, Mr. Howard sent you a calligraphy piece from the Qing Dynasty."

The grandmother’s expression changed, and she sternly said, "Throw it out."

"But!"

"I have only two sons."

Since the day Howard Sinclair left the Sinclair Family, the grandmother had already considered him nonexistent.

The butler nodded reluctantly.

Zoe Xavier observed all this silently.

While taking the family portrait, Quentin Sinclair was also present, and he directly stood beside Kiana Sutton.

The moment Kiana Sutton saw him, her good mood was instantly ruined.

Quentin Sinclair glanced at Kiana Sutton but hadn’t spoken yet when Ethan Sinclair turned her head away.

Ethan Sinclair looked at Kiana Sutton and softly warned, "Either look at the camera or me, if you glance at Quentin Sinclair one more time, I’ll gouge out your eyes, turning you into a mute blind girl."

While speaking, Ethan Sinclair’s dark and cold gaze remained fixed on Quentin Sinclair, full of warning.

Quentin Sinclair shrugged and looked towards Kate Lynch not far behind the camera.

Kate Lynch’s eyes were fixed on Ethan Sinclair and Kiana Sutton, her expression as unpleasant as could be.

Quentin Sinclair smirked, his mind filled with calculations.

Kate Lynch was about to be driven insane by jealousy and resentment; if it weren’t for Kiana Sutton, it was supposed to be her standing next to Ethan Sinclair!

No, she couldn’t sit idle!

She couldn’t just stand by and watch as Kiana Sutton took Ethan Sinclair from her!

With this thought, after the photo-taking, Kate Lynch headed over to Ethan Sinclair.
