25 He Seems Like a Good Choice Chapter 25 He Seems Like a Good Choice Clara tossed and turned the entire night . She even had a ridiculous dream - being pinned to the bed by him and another stranger , both of them grinning wickedly , almost .... She jolted awake at dawn . On her way to the office , a familiar figure by the roadside nearly made her slam the brakes . The man was jogging along the street in a simple black T - shirt and cargo pants . Sweat dampened the strands of hair falling across his forehead , and the snug shirt outlined the hard ridges of muscle beneath . Masculine energy radiated from him , powerful enough to cut through the morning light . Clara's mind went hot . That scene from last night - the one that made her cheeks burn and heart race - rose unbidden again . Especially ... that part . Beep ! Beep ! A horn blasted behind her , snapping her back . Her steering wheel jerked , and she nearly hit the median strip . Clara steadied the car and sped off . In her rearview mirror , Ethan's figure grew smaller , still jogging down the road . Was he ... running to work ? Her brows knit . He didn't even have a car ? And yet he'd handed his salary card over to her ? Something twisted in her chest . Fine . Whatever else , he was legally her husband now - and he had once pulled her out of a burning building . She couldn't just stand by and watch him live this poorly . She'd find time to get him a car . Consider it repayment for saving her life . But nothing more . This time around , she would never again give everything she had to a man . At Horizon Tech , things finally showed a glimmer of life after a week of her relentless work . " Director Carter , here's the file for tomorrow night's business gala . " Assistant Chen walked in with a stack of documents . " If we can secure the bid for the FutureView Home System , Horizon might actually survive ! " FutureView Homes the leading company in the domestic home - tech market . 11:58 My Husband Loft Mo to Deat Chapter 25 He Seems Like a Good Choice Clara accepted the folder . This gala ... she remembered it . In her last life , Julian had brought her to this very event . Flipping through the pages , her gaze froze . The Vaughn Group ? Even as a housewife who stayed out of boardroom battles , she knew the name . It was Julian's fiercest rival in business . And this gala wasn't just any event - it was hosted by the Vaughn Group itself . FutureView was only a subsidiary of their massive empire . Clara closed the file . " Chen , get everything ready . I'll attend tomorrow night . " " Yes , Director . But ... it's usually better to bring a male companion to events like this . " She understood exactly what he meant . At gatherings crowded with the powerful , a young , attractive female CEO was an easy target . Having a man by her side was a shield against unwanted attention . And the first face that came to mind was Ethan his sharp , rugged features , the taut muscle under his shirt . If all she needed was a bodyguard ... he might be the right choice . After work , Clara didn't return to her apartment . She drove back to the villa . She planned to pick out a car for Ethan . Her gaze swept across the garage , finally landing on three cars parked in the far corner . A blazing red Ferrari - Julian's gift when she got her driver's license . A silver Porsche - his present when she was promoted at Starry Group . A sleek black Aston Martin - the one he drove up in the day he proposed , its trunk brimming with roses . Clara's brows furrowed hard . " Mrs. Lane . " " Yes , Miss ? " She pointed at the three cars . " Why are these still here ? Didn't I tell you to get rid of everything connected to him ? " Mrs. Lane gazed at the row of luxury cars gleaming under the garage lights , her eyes full of regret . " Miss , these cars used to be your most treasured possessions . You even had the garage expanded just to house them properly . " She sighed inwardly . What a pair they had once been - so in love . How had it all come to this ? 11:58 Ma Uch Chapter 25 He Seems Like a Good Choice " I have nothing to do with him anymore . Mrs. Lane , please make sure they're dealt with as soon as possible . " With that , Clara walked straight to the key cabinet on the other side of the garage and pulled out a set of car keys . It was the white Bentley her mother had given her for her birthday last year . " Mr. Walker , " she instructed the driver waiting nearby , " bring this Bentley out and follow me . " When Clara returned to her new apartment building and parked , she spotted Ethan . Tall and broad - shouldered , he was just stepping out of the supermarket , carrying nothing but a pack of instant noodles , before striding toward the elevators . Clara froze for a moment . Could it be ... because he'd handed his salary card over to her , he was now so broke he could only afford instant noodles for dinner ? It seemed she ought to do something for her " husband .
