Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 189: Nyla blinked, surprised by Ethan's willingness to compromise. She nodded slowly, still processing his words. "Alright." Hana observed the exchange with a knowing smile, shaking her head gently. She couldn't help but think she had said too much earlier. She knew Ethan was a caring man; it was just that he was clueless most of the time. But he was finally starting to get the hang of it. As Ethan turned to head upstairs, Nyla's voice stopped him mid-step. "Well... Bonnie might come over, if that's okay.

If you're uncomfortable, I can meet her outside." Ethan's dark eyes flicked back to her, his expression unreadable. "If she's coming, let's have a meal together. It's time I met your friend." With that, he continued upstairs, leaving Nyla alone on the sofa, lost in her thoughts. For reasons she couldn't fully explain, she felt a warmth in Ethan's actions. He was taking care of her-even suggesting they dine with her friend, something he'd never done before. In the past, Ethan had always kept their relationship private, hidden from others.

This new openness left her wondering if he had truly changed. Her hand instinctively rested on her stomach, feeling the faint stirrings of the life growing inside her. Could she trust him now, after everything? Hana seemed to pick up on her hesitation. She approached Nyla and spoke softly. "Mrs. Brooks, Mr. Brooks may not express himself well, but he truly cares about you. Ever since he found out you were pregnant, he's taken so many precautions-covering every potentially dangerous spot in the house with foam and carpets.

Why won't you explain things to me?" Bonnie's voice echoed from outside into the living room. She sounded like a deserted lover. "I sent you so many messages! And how did you respond? One call-five minutes-and then you hung up. How heartless! And what's with this yard? It's enormous, like a maze! What? I'm not even at the door yet!" Nyla rubbed her forehead, frustration mounting. She should've just gone out to eat with Bonnie instead of giving her the address. Her eyes darted upstairs as she wondered if Ethan had heard the commotion.

The soundproofing seemed decent-until Ethan appeared at the top of the stairs. His voice carried down calmly. "Hana, please bring her in." Nyla's heart sank. Hana hesitated briefly before heading outside to fetch Bonnie. Moments later, Bonnie stormed in, her eyes locking on Nyla sitting stiffly on the sofa. "Why didn't you reply to my messages? Ignoring someone is cruel!" Bonnie marched over, grabbing Nyla's shoulders and shaking her for answers. Nyla, mortified, clapped a hand over Bonnie's mouth. . . .
