Chapter 821
821:
“You’re here?” Ethan’s eyes were dreamy as he wobbled over, wrapping his arms around Brenna and planting a kiss on the top of her head, wearing a gentle smile. “You smell amazing. Did you just shower?”
“You’re really drunk,” Brenna said, realizing Ethan was leaning his full weight on her. Fortunately, she was strong enough to handle it; otherwise, she might have been knocked over.
“Be good. Listen, get in the car, and I’ll take you home.” Brenna placed his arm over her shoulder, adjusted her stance, opened the car door, and, with some effort, got Ethan inside.
After securing his seatbelt, Brenna found herself sweating from the exertion. She settled into the driver’s seat, ready to start the car, only to find Ethan still awake, gazing at her with a tender smile.
“You’re so beautiful. I want to kiss you,” he said.
Brenna chuckled softly, ignoring his words as she started the car.
She had never been to Ethan’s home but knew his address. Ethan had bought a house in the same neighborhood as the Harper family to be close to her.
The butler, seeing Ethan’s car return, opened the gate.
“We’re here.” Brenna stopped the car and unbuckled her seatbelt, only to find that Ethan had fallen asleep.
She had expected him to take advantage of his drunken state to steal a few kisses, but that was not what had happened. He didn’t cry, ramble, or cause any trouble; he just fell asleep.
“Miss Harper, I truly appreciate you taking the trouble to bring Mr. Mitchell back,” the butler said politely, recognizing Brenna through the windshield. He opened the passenger door and called out to Ethan, but Ethan remained unresponsive, deeply asleep.
Ethan was tall. Brenna glanced over at him, watching him sleep soundly inside the car like a child. She stared at him for a few moments before shifting her attention to the butler. The man looked to be in his fifties, and while he didn’t seem particularly aged, she couldn’t tell if he had the strength needed to carry Ethan.
“Would you be able to carry him inside the house?” she asked.
The butler, a former soldier with a solid build from years of rigorous training, gave an immediate nod. “No problem at all.”

Brenna couldn’t take her eyes off Ethan’s calm and strikingly handsome sleeping face. A second later, the butler hoisted Ethan onto his shoulder with surprising ease and began walking toward the house. Brenna was a bit surprised; she had assumed the butler might need her help carrying Ethan.
Brenna followed behind as they climbed up to the second floor. The butler gently placed Ethan on the bed and began removing his coat, shirt, shoes, and pants, leaving him in only his underwear.
A deep blush spread across Brenna’s face, and she quickly turned away, too shy to keep looking.
Once the blanket had been pulled over Ethan and everything was in order, Brenna finally approached him.
