Chapter 203 - Hurt And Disappointed
Arriving at the parking lot of the building where Luna was competing as a model, Ethan immediately got out of the car and asked Richard to ensure the position of his car lined up with other vehicles, because there must have been a lot of spectators who came from among the rich and businessmen.
Ethan walked with hasty steps into the building to the audience seats, he saw several models were walking on the stage. The man continued to pay attention to the models who looked sexy in typical beach clothes, but he didn't find Luna there.
"Is she done? I'd better go backstage, maybe she's there."
Ethan walked to the back of the stage, right in the make-up room and the waiting room for the models who seemed to be busy tidying up themselves. some are in make-up, some are just back from the stage, some are about to go on stage again. They all looked sexy and made Ethan shake his head in displeasure because he likes polite women.
"Where's Luna?"
Ethan looks for Luna among the many models, he goes here and there without caring about the many models who admire his good looks and dashing posture.
Brughhh...
Ethan accidentally bumped into someone while looking for Luna, someone fell and he immediately reached out to help her up.
"You again.., why are you here?" Evelyn asked. Yes, that person is Evelyn, who from the beginning met Ethan, was interested and wanted to get to know him without caring that he was Luna's husband.
"I'm looking for Luna," replied Ethan with a flat look. he was lazy to respond to Evelyn, but because he felt guilty for bumping into her, he had to respond.
"She's in the dressing room and will perform again," said Evelyn.
"She still will wearing clothes like this?" asked Ethan while glancing at the model who was still in line wearing typical beach clothes.
"Yes, this afternoon specifically for beach clothes," Evelyn replied while watching Ethan who looked displeased and still stared at the busy atmosphere of the occupants of the room which was dominated by women.
"Why are you here? Did Luna ask to be picked up?" Evelyn asked.
"No, I did want to pick her up," Ethan replied.
Luna, who had just come out of the dressing room and had fixed her make-up, saw Ethan who was chatting with Evelyn.
"Why did he come and chat with that damn model instead. he must be happy to see so many beautiful and sexy models here."
Luna was even annoyed at the arrival of Ethan because she was surrounded by many beautiful and sexy models. She secretly felt jealous and immediately approached his husband who was with Evelyn.
"Ethan, you shouldn't be here!" Luna grumbled looking at Ethan who was surprised by her presence. She quickly pulled her husband away from the crowd, toward the back door leading out of the building.
Ethan glanced at Luna who pulled him roughly, he was silent while looking at his wife looking sexy and he didn't think it was appropriate to seem.
"Luna, why did you break your promise?" asked Ethan in frustration.
Luna released her grip on Ethan's hand, then looked up at him. "Why did you come here? Don't you remember what I said? Don't come backstage or you'll be seduced by Evelyn or some other model!" Luna looked angry.
"I came because I wanted to remind you. These clothes are inappropriate for you to wear in public! didn't you promise not to wear sexy clothes when I let you become model again?" Ethan looked at Luna angrily, he didn't understand his wife's increasingly rebellious attitude.
Luna sighed, trying to calm her anger. "Ethan, I'm sorry I broke my promise, but these are just clothes, isn't it important that I'm untouched by other men and I'm still yours? So don't mind this!"
Ethan shook his head, furrowed his brows with bloodshot eyes from sadness and hurt at Luna's words that broke her promise. "Luna, why are you like this? Don't you think about my feelings?"
"What feelings, Ethan? Is proving I'm loyal enough for you. Please don't limit what has become my routine since long ago, this is just clothes and I can save myself from people who might tease me. I'll stay professional!" Luna looked at Ethan curtly, for always putting forward jealousy.
Ethan sighed weakly, leaned against the door, and looked at Luna in frustration. "You will look more beautiful by wearing elegant clothes, not sexy and tight like this."
"Ethan, this is my job from the start. Don't look down on me just because of my costume! After all, we got married by accident, which means we inevitably have to accept each other's habits and desires. Where have I ever forbade you to do something, right?"
"Yeah okay I'll let you dress and act as you want," said Ethan resignedly, because he would keep his oath to always do what Luna wanted.
"You'd better go home, I'm still not done," Luna exclaimed with a still slightly annoyed look.
"Shouldn't I see you or wait for you to finish?" asked Ethan.
"I finished it's still a long time, you better go back to the apartment or see Keenan and Keyra. If Edward finds out about our togetherness, I'm afraid he'll do something reckless again," Luna shouted, pushing Ethan away but also for fear that Edward would act recklessly to hurt Ethan or the kids.
Seeing Luna's response, which was not good from the start, made Ethan fail to say he missed it because he was already disappointed. "Okay I'm going home, take care of yourself," he cried disappointedly.
"You also have to always be careful…sorry for letting you down," said Luna, bending her face, feeling guilty seeing Ethan looking so sad.
"It's okay. The most important thing is that you are happy." Ethan looked sadly at Luna before leaving, then kissed her forehead for a while. "I miss you ... and I hope this chaotic state will end."
"Yes, me too." Luna grabbed Ethan's hand. "You don't have to worry. I'll be professional, and I won't be swayed by other men flirting with me. I'm still yours, trust me!"
Ethan just nodded and smiled but that smile kept the wound so deep. He let go of Luna's hand and immediately left her.
Evelyn hugged her arms while smiling happily at Ethan and Luna's quarrel that she had been paying attention to.
"You idiot, if you already have a rich husband, why do you still want to work hard? It's better if Ethan is with me because I will stay at home and pamper him, seeing his handsome face and sexy body every day. Moreover, he is very loving and caring. You stupid Luna!'
it turns out that Evelyn likes Ethan, it looks like she will take advantage of Ethan and Luna's estrangement to enter their family and destroy everything that is already fragile. But she must try to be strong because Ethan loves Luna so much and will continue to defend her.

Ethan returned to the parking lot and approached Richard who was talking to a man who might also be a bodyguard.
"Richard, let's go home," he said wearily.
Richard nodded, then said goodbye to his interlocutor then approached Ethan.
Ethan immediately got into the car, he sat back in the passenger seat with a broken feeling because his heart was hurt. Luna's changes made him fall and lose his spirit.
'Why did you differ, Luna? Is my effort to make you happy, the love I give, the life that is devoted only to you, not enough to make you accept me back? why are you hurting me even more? You dress sexy in front of many people, you should be at home with the children because the situation is not safe either.'
Ethann kept thinking about Luna which hurt him more and more until without realizing it Richard was already driving his sports car to the house to meet Keenan and Keyra.
