Two Chances,One Bullet: How His "Next Life" Promise Failed Novel

Chapter 14 He was taking his anger out on her now , guilt by association . Hearing his cold tone , Tiffany gripped his sleeve even tighter . She moved in front of him , softening her voice : " I know you're busy and I don't want to bother you . I just wanted to promise that I'll keep my parents in line from now on . They'll never embarrass you like this again ! " To prove her loyalty to Ethan , she was ready to throw her own parents under the bus .

Anyone else would have been disgusted y such behavior , but he found it satisfying . What Ethan loved most about Tiffany was that she could never rise above him - she was completely dependent on him , like ivy clinging to a tree . Seeing that she at least had some sense , he softened slightly : " Don't worry . You're you , and your parents are your parents . I'm not mad at you .

" Tiffany seized the opening , sliding her hands from his sleeve to around his waist , playing vulnerable as she continued manipulating him : " My parents really went too far this time . Don't worry - I'll make sure Pete gets to the hospital and handle everything so it doesn't affect your work . " Ethan was at a critical point in his career and couldn't stand anything that might hurt his company's stock price . Her parents ' behavior was like dancing on a landmine .

Tiffany was cursing her luck internally but kept sweet - talking him on the surface , even swallowing her pride to tempt him : " When you get back , I'll wear that new lingerie I bought - you know , the bunny outfit … " Her voice dropped to a sultry whisper that made his pulse race . Ethan was already frustrated from being interrupted at the worst possible moment , and thinking about that sexy outfit made his breathing quicken .

Tiffany struck while the iron was hot , tilting her face up to look at him with that practiced vulnerable expression . Ethan couldn't control himself anymore . He pulled her into his arms , not caring that they were outside where anyone could see them , and kissed her hungrily . When they finally broke apart , Tiffany was disheveled and weak - kneed . She seized the moment , breathing heavily : " Then the police- " " Just handle it yourself .

" Ethan was in a much better mood now , but still had no intention of staying . He glanced at his watch and opened the car door again : " Alright , I've got business to take care of . We'll continue this when I get back . " Tiffany wanted to push harder , to convince Ethan to stay and back her up , but after a few steps she gave up . She'd already screwed up multiple times over the past couple days and pissed him off - she was terrified of annoying him further by being too clingy .

Inside the house , the police had completely restrained her father and were dragging him toward the squad car . Seeing they were serious , her mother was wailing dramatically behind them . The moment she spotted Tiffany coming back , she grabbed onto her like a lifeline : " Save your father ! If he goes to jail , it'll ruin your reputation too - you'll never become Mrs. Thompson !

" She was shouting loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear , making Tiffany's face cycle through shades of red and white . She looked mortified , but she absolutely couldn't have a father with a criminal record . She swallowed her pride and approached the officers . 22:04 Two Chances , One Bullet : How His " Next Life " Promise Failed 90.1 % wat my person is wrong They shved in the countryside their whole lives and aren't used for city th .
