Untamed Charming Wife

When this thought appeared in Kayla’s mind, she didn’t realize that the corners of her mouth had already unconsciously curved upwards.

Ethaniel was single, and Oliver didn’t have a mother. It was a sad story, indeed. But why did she feel as if a small cloud over her heart had lifted?

Ethaniel smirked. She was such an open book. Didn’t she understand his words? He didn’t easily fall for women, but once he did, it was genuine. In thirty-one years, she was the first and only one.

Feeling a bit of joy, Ethaniel closed his laptop and, before getting out of the car, reached over and patted her head. “Remember to pick me up tonight.”

Kayla didn’t respond, but internally she protested. “I’m a cop, not your bodyguard!”

But then… that million-dollar debt…

Ah, now that was the real sad story.

After dropping off Ethaniel, Kayla drove back to the North District Police Station. Just before getting out, she noticed a small box left on the passenger seat. It was Ethaniel’s.

She picked it up, gave it a little shake, and hesitated before unzipping it. A delicious aroma immediately filled the car.

Her stomach growled, reminding her that she hadn’t had breakfast yet. Holding the box, Kayla analyzed the situation: Ethaniel had been drinking coffee in the morning, so this breakfast was probably meant for him. He must have forgotten it when he got out of the car.

So, what should she do with the breakfast?

As a cop, she should return it. But then she remembered Ethaniel’s audacious behavior, and any thoughts of returning it vanished.

Eat it!

He had taken liberties with her; eating his breakfast seemed perfectly justified.

With that thought, Kayla opened the box with a sense of entitlement.

Mmm, delicious!

After just one bite, Kayla’s eyes widened. This was incredibly tasty! The food rich people ate was truly exceptional.

Before she knew it, she had devoured the entire breakfast.

Satisfied, she clapped her hands together and walked into the police station with renewed vigor.

“Kayla!” As soon as she stepped into the office, a fellow officer called out to her, rushing over like he had seen a savior. “You finally made it! Mick’s been looking for you everywhere.”

Just then, the glass door to the team leader’s office swung open, and Mick stormed out, his face contorted with anger. “Is Kayla here yet? Damn crazy girl!”

“I’m here!” Kayla declared boldly, marching straight into Mick’s office.

As the door closed behind her, Kayla took the initiative. “I want a transfer!”

“Transfer?” Mick’s finger was practically poking her forehead. “You might as well resign!”

This troublesome rookie had been causing him headaches since her first day at the precinct! Behind her impressive track record, she had managed to offend countless politicians and business moguls. She didn’t care, but it was always him cleaning up her messes behind the scenes.

But who knew Kayla would end up mess with Ethaniel! This time, even his brother Jack couldn’t help her!

Staring at Kayla’s earnest and straightforward face, Mick slammed his desk. “What’s going on between you and Ethaniel?”

“You already know. I mistook him for someone else, accidentally brought him in, and, oh, I also crashed into his car. That’s all.” She conveniently omitted Ethaniel’s absurd comments about making her Ollie’s mom and his woman, filtering those out of her explanation.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Mick shouted, furious. “Kayla, I’m telling you, Ethaniel is not someone you can mess with. Starting today, you stay put in the station. No more fieldwork!”

Kayla was stunned. No fieldwork? How was she supposed to catch criminals? She despised police officers who didn’t take action!

Just as she was about to protest, the phone rang.

Mick picked it up, said a few words, and his expression suddenly changed.

He glanced at the bewildered Kayla, then hung up the phone and waved her off. “Forget it, you can go.”

“Go where?” Kayla asked, confused.

Mick looked at her bright and fresh face and could only sigh. “To the finance conference, for a security detail.”

He had intended to help this foolish girl avoid Ethaniel, but it seemed that was impossible.

……

In the conference room lounge, Ethaniel was reviewing the documents in his hand. Linda brought in a cup of coffee. “Ethaniel, your coffee.”

“Mm,” Ethaniel responded indifferently without looking up, continuing to make notes on the documents with his pen.

No one’s success is accidental. Though Ethaniel was born into the legendary Lacroix Family, he was not the sole heir. He had earned his position as the unanimously recognized chief successor through his own abilities and strength.

Ethaniel’s attitude towards his work was always serious and meticulous. Every project and every decision underwent his careful consideration and long-term planning, ultimately securing benefits for Goldenshore Group.
