Chapter 90: He Lied

"Ethan! You're here!"

I was caught off guard when I saw him standing behind me. He didn't say anything. He took a step forward, pushing me to the side a little so that he could step in front of the door. He was shielding his body, so I couldn't open it. I tried to peek above his shoulder, but Ethan blocked my way.

"This door is locked, and there are no lights here. What if you fell down the stairs and injured yourself? Hmm?"

I parted my lips, looking anywhere but his eyes that were observing my expression as if he was trying to see my agenda of going here. I saw his eyes glanced down at Bobby, who abruptly buried his face in my chest, hiding from Ethan. Ethan's eyes shifted, and he took a step forward to stroke Bobby's head.

"I'm so sorry earlier, baby. Your Mommy and I had a fight, and you stormed between us. It was a normal reaction." he explained to his side. His eyes were pleading with shame and guilt for what he did.
