Chapter 75

Ethan stared at the hand he'd just kissed, his stomach churning violently.

He shoved Andrew away and doubled over, retching.

Andrew wiped his knuckles methodically, brows slightly furrowed.

"Andrew! Have you lost your mind?"

Ethan straightened up after wiping his mouth and shoved Andrew hard.

"Go kiss Nicole if you're so desperate! Stop interfering with Susan and me!"

Nicole quickly clung to Andrew's arm, voice trembling. "Andrew, must you break my heart like this?"

"If your mother finds out about you and Susan—"

Andrew's body stiffened. He turned away from Susan standing among the flowers.

Susan froze in place.

Did Ethan just kiss Andrew again?

Why did this man keep letting other men kiss him?

Ethan grabbed Susan's hand and ran.

His objective today was accomplished—now he just wanted alone time with the woman he loved.

Andrew's fingers turned white-knuckled. Only Nicole's tight grip stopped him from chasing after them.

Victoria's eyes widened.

She glanced between the fleeing Ethan and the ice-cold Andrew, her chest tightening.

"Thomas..." Her voice shook. "Why did Andrew block that kiss for Susan?"

"During dinner, I noticed he shattered his glass when Ethan served Susan food!"

"Could it be... he has feelings for Ethan?"

Thomas's mouth twitched.

He saw the truth but dared not speak it.

Seeing Andrew still staring into the distance, Victoria smacked his head in fury.

"Andrew Lucas! Ethan finally found love, and you're sabotaging it!"

"They're not compatible." Andrew's expression darkened. "That woman isn't good enough for Ethan."

Victoria nearly fainted.

This confirmed it!

No wonder he ignored Nicole—his target was her brother all along!

"Even if Susan and Ethan aren't perfect, you can't be with Ethan either!" Victoria lamented.

Andrew: ?

Thomas quickly embraced his wife. "Don't upset yourself."

"Get off!" She pushed him away, pointing at their three children. "Look what you've produced!"

"Andrew likes men! Our second son is allergic to women! Bella dumped her fiancé!"

"Will I ever hold a grandchild in my arms?!"

Thomas: "...Should we try for another?"

"Have one yourself!" Victoria stormed inside.

Ryan approached Andrew. "We need to talk."

Nicole tactfully stepped away.

"Speak."

"I know about your secret marriage." Ryan's gaze sharpened. "As your elder brother, I'll give you the same advice."

"The same one I gave our father years ago."
