Ethan Sterling and Tanya Sterling Come to the Door

"Claire, if you don't open the door, I'll wait here forever! I'll wait until you open it!"

Ethan Sterling looked at the tightly shut door, anger rising in his heart. He hadn't expected Claire Bennett to give him no face at all. Could she really be this heartless and cold?

He had already found out that Claire Bennett was living alone in this detached house now.

That was why he had boldly brought Tanya Sterling with him to find her. No matter what Claire Bennett had done with other men, he didn't really care. The most important thing was that Claire Bennett was the Bennett family's daughter!

Inside the detached house, Claire Bennett listened to the unceasing noise outside and felt utterly fed up.

She was just about to call the police and report the two of them for disturbing the peace when she suddenly thought of something and completely calmed down.

Even if she solved it this time, there might be a next time or the time after that. Given Ethan Sterling's character, he definitely would not let this go. She might as well hear what he had to say and deal with this trouble once and for all.

A cold look appeared on her face, and then she opened the door.

When Ethan Sterling saw Claire Bennett open the door, joy appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward. "Claire, you finally opened the door."

"What is it?" Claire Bennett looked at him warily.

"Claire..." Ethan Sterling called softly, then looked at Claire Bennett with deep, lingering affection. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he liked Claire Bennett that much.

Faced with his nauseating gaze, Claire Bennett's expression did not ripple in the slightest.

She crossed her arms and said, "It's getting late. If Mr. Sterling has something to say, say it quickly. I've been busy all day and I'm very tired today."

Ethan Sterling's face darkened. "Claire, what happened before was my fault. Are you still blaming me?"

Behind him, Tanya Sterling hurried forward and said, "Yes, it was my fault before too. I never expected Ethan to be bewitched by a woman like Naomi Pierce. I've already given Ethan a harsh scolding, and he knows he was wrong. Claire, just forgive Ethan."

Claire Bennett's brows knitted tightly together. So these two had come to ask for forgiveness.

She had thought they were here to cause her trouble.

But forgive Ethan Sterling? What were they thinking? Did they think she was some kind of masochist?

Seeing that Claire Bennett said nothing, Tanya Sterling dropped her usual overbearing and arrogant manner and looked humble and pitiful instead. Choking up, she said, "Claire, are you still blaming me? If you're still upset over what I did, then I..."

Tanya Sterling paused, then finally steeled herself and gritted out, "Then I'll kneel and apologize to you!"

As long as they could win Claire Bennett back and let Ethan Sterling get more benefits in the future, she was willing to lower herself to Claire Bennett, even if that meant kneeling.

After Naomi Pierce's identity was exposed, Tanya Sterling's reputation in their circle had already been completely ruined.

Now the only thing left was to recover all their losses, and the one who could help them was Claire Bennett!

Claire Bennett looked at Tanya Sterling, mockery appearing in her eyes.

She thought Tanya Sterling's acting was pretty good. After so much had happened, she could still shamelessly pretend nothing had happened and come beg for forgiveness in front of her.

At this moment, Ethan Sterling followed up right on cue.

He first let out a heavy sigh, then looked at Claire Bennett and slowly said, "We used to be so close. I remember that after work, what you liked most was going with me to the snack street to get something to eat. Back then, your favorite thing was the roasted sweet potatoes from that stall at the end of the street..."

Ethan Sterling was trying to use the warmth of the past to awaken her feelings for him.

But Claire Bennett only found it funny.

Back then, after she moved out of the Bennett family home, her standard of living had dropped sharply. Since the food there was cheap, she really had liked going there.

But every time, Ethan Sterling would complain that it was dirty and beneath his status. And now he was wearing a nostalgic expression. It really had to be said that his skin was thick enough.

Ethan Sterling looked at Claire Bennett and said firmly, "Claire, we took the wrong path this time, but now I've realized my mistake. Actually, when Naomi Pierce seduced me, I didn't want to leave you either. It's just that she lied to me..."

Claire Bennett's eyes narrowed slightly.

Because Naomi Pierce lied to him and made him mistakenly believe she had the status of the Bennett family's daughter, he just followed her completely?

Flies don't land on seamless eggs.

Only after breaking up did Claire Bennett realize Ethan Sterling wasn't any good at all.

Ethan Sterling's face was full of remorse as he said in a low voice, "I don't even know how we ended up like this."
