“Where am I?”
I rubbed my throbbing temples.
A cheerful male voice came from outside the door.
“Big sis, you’re awake?”
The voice sounded familiar.
It was Ethan.
He was shirtless, his skin taut, broad–shouldered with a narrow waist. His muscle lines flowed smoothly, and his lean body somehow sported an eight–pack.
I was mesmerized for a moment, not even noticing him getting closer.
“Big sis, seen enough?”
I blushed furiously.
“I didn’t expect someone with such a baby face to have such a great body.”

Ethan grinned mischievously and pulled me into his arms.
“So, big sis, have you decided how you’re going to take responsibility for me?”
I panicked, desperately trying to remember what happened last night.
Last night I met him at the bar entrance, then he drove me home, and I fell asleep in the car…
So why was I here?
“Let me help you remember. You fell asleep last night without telling me where you lived, so I had no choice but to bring you back to my place.”
“Did we… you know?”
Ethan leaned in close, his gaze intense:
“What do you think?”
My mind was in chaos. Suddenly, I remembered feeling that something was off about the drink last night.
Usually, my alcohol tolerance isn’t bad. I shouldn’t have gotten drunk so quickly.
“It must have been Vanessa.”
I frantically took out my phone and called her.
“Vanessa! You set me up!”
A lazy male voice answered.
“Vanessa is still sleeping. What do you need?”
“Damn it…”
The call ended, and Ethan, standing in front of me, burst out laughing.
“Big sis, you were drugged. Last night was my first time.”
“It’s okay if you don’t remember. I’ll help you recall.”
Ethan pressed me down beneath him.

Looking closely, beneath his boyish charm, he had a pair of incredibly cold eyes.
His facial features were flawlessly handsome, with lips so red they begged to be kissed.
Coming to my senses, I found myself breathless from the intimate position.
I pushed him away and cleared my throat.
“Ahem… Well, we’re both adults here. If you’re in this line of work, let’s just settle up.””
I took out a black card from my purse and handed it to him.
“This is your payment.”
With that, I got up to change my clothes.
“Big sis, the name you called out last night, was it your ex–husband?”
My heart skipped a beat, and I clenched my fists.

“Shut up!”
“I don’t mind. If big sis needs me again, just give me a call anytime.”
He made a phone gesture by his ear, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
As I left Ethan’s apartment, I ran into Jack Sullivan downstairs.
I lowered my head and covered my mouth, afraid he’d see me.
“Mia Coleman!”
He strode over.
Dressed in an all–black suit, he exuded an air of aggression.
“What are you doing here?”
I composed myself and stood up straight.
“It’s none of your business.”
He grabbed my bag, pulling me closer.
“Who said you could stay out all night? Where were you last night?”
Jack’s tone was displeased.
“Jack Sullivan, we’re divorced,” I said with a cold laugh.
“I’m single now. I can stay wherever I want.”
“Mia, I know you’re still angry, but can you not misunderstand me? Sophia has been suffering from depression recently and needs someone with her. She doesn’t have any family in the country, so as her…”
“As her ex–boyfriend, you should divorce your wife and be by her side 24/7!”

Jack Sullivan frowned, his eyes impatient.
“Mia Coleman, can you stop acting like a spoiled rich girl? Our divorce has nothing to do with Sophia, okay?”
I snatched my bag back from his grip and looked at him with disdain.
“Jack Sullivan, then who does it have to do with? Do you think I divorced you for fun? You’re still defending her even now. You two really are an inseparable pair.”
Seeing me raise my voice, Jack dragged me to a corner.
“Can’t you learn from Sophia? Weren’t you two good friends in high school? She’s so understanding. Why are you so stubborn?”
My anger rose to my throat, but I suppressed it.
“I can’t imitate her vain, coquettish act.”
Since I let go of my feelings for Jack Sullivan, even saying one more word to him felt exhausting.
“By the way, I spent last night at my new boyfriend’s place. Satisfied?”
With that, I walked away without looking back.

I couldn’t see Jack Sullivan’s expression, nor did I want to.
As soon as I stepped out of the complex, I received a call from Ethan.
It turned out he had witnessed my entire confrontation with Jack Sullivan.
“Big sis, was that man just now your ex–husband?” Ethan chuckled softly.
“Yes.”
The closer I got to Ethan, the more I felt he wasn’t as harmless as he seemed..
“Oh, you left your necklace at my place. I was going to bring it to you, but then I saw you…”
“Sorry you had to see that.”
Ethan didn’t respond to that, instead focusing on something else.
“So, big sis, does this mean you’re acknowledging me as your new boyfriend?”
I burst out laughing.
“Ethan, why do you sound like such a flirt at such a young age?”
He played along, exaggerating his flirtatious tone.
“Oh, big sis took advantage of me, and now she’s getting tangled up with her ex–husband. My heart aches…”
The gloomy mood from seeing Jack Sullivan earlier was instantly swept away by him.
