Chapter 321: 321: The Four Taylor Brothers_l
This was absolutely not good news for Ethan Smith.
When Ethan glanced at Kylan Taylor, Kylan also looked back at Ethan.
“Who is this guy?” Kylan pointed at Ethan and asked.
Mike Taylor waved his hand and said, “This is Ethan Smith.”
“Ethan Smith?” Upon hearing this name, Kylan Taylor’s mouth curled up in an imperceptible sneer.
“Alright, let’s sit down and eat.” Mike Taylor said expressionlessly.
“Yes, sir.” Kylan Taylor slightly bowed to Mike Taylor. Then, the servants changed his clothes, and he sat down on the side of Mike Taylor.
During this time, Kylan didn’t say a word to Ethan nor did he give him even a second glance.
But for some reason, when facing Kylan Taylor, Ethan always felt a sense of uneasiness.
No matter how calmly Kylan Taylor appeared, Ethan could still sense the hostility he had towards him.
Soon after, the rest of the Taylor family returned home.
In total, the Taylor family had four offspring, led by Kylan Taylor, followed by Emily Taylor’s father Hugh Taylor, Marcus Taylor, and Clarence Taylor. Upon seeing Ethan’s arrival, Hugh Taylor seemed somewhat surprised.
“Ethan, how come you’re here?” Hugh Taylor said, astonished.
Ethan stood up and said, “Uncle Taylor, I just happened to be in Capital City for some business, so I decided to stop by and see Emily.”
“Emily? Tsk Tsk, what an intimate nickname.” Marcus Taylor said with a mocking smile.
Clarence Taylor also glanced at Ethan and said, “Now, anyone can enter our Taylor family? What’s next, a crow wanting to perch on the branches and become a phoenix?
Facing everyone’s sarcasm, Ethan didn’t know how to reply.
After all, they were Emily Taylor’s elders, so Ethan couldn’t possibly respond with any sarcasm.
“Emily, this is the first time you’ve brought a man home, right?” Marcus Taylor asked.
Emily Taylor didn’t avoid the question, nodding and saying, “First one, and the only one.”
At these words, there was a hint of displeasure from the people at the table.
“Humph, with so many elegantly dressed young men in Capital City, you choose a country bumpkin who crawled out of the wilderness!” Marcus Taylor reprimanded.
“Do you want our Taylor family to lose face?”
Emily Taylor remained calm and said indifferently, “I don’t think Ethan will make the Taylor family lose face. Besides, I think he’s many times better than those so-called aristocratic young men in Capital City.”
“Ha, ha, it’s not that easy to enter our Taylor family’s door!” Marcus Taylor said coldly.
“Silence, all of you!” At this point, Mike Taylor suddenly shouted.
“If you don’t want to eat, put down your chopsticks and get the hell out!” Mike Taylor’s words still carried great authority. As soon as he spoke, the table became quiet.
No one else dared to say another word.
Ethan couldn’t help but think to himself that the situation in the Taylor family was more complicated than he had imagined.
In just a few words, it was clear that Duane Taylor’s status in the family was not high, and nothing compared to Kylan Taylor.
And the other two brothers seemed willing to side with Kylan Taylor.
“It seems that Cato Cain was right,” Ethan thought to himself. “I’m full.” In a short while, Kylan Taylor put down his chopsticks.
He straightened his clothes and got up to leave.
“Ah, I’m full too, I just can’t eat anymore.” Following Kylan Taylor, Marcus Taylor got up.
“Clarence, are you still eating?” Then, Marcus Taylor asked casually.
Clarence Taylor shook his head and said, “I have some things to deal with, so I’m not going to eat.”
“Eat if you want, or don’t eat if you don’t want to. We will eat.” Mike Taylor snorted coldly.
Except for Hugh Taylor, the brothers of the Taylor family all stood up and left, heading straight out of the house.
At this moment, Ethan realized that the brothers didn’t live here but had their dwelling places.
However, they had to come to the Taylor family’s Estate for dinner every day, as per the rules set by Mike Taylor.
After they left, Mike Taylor laughed and said, “Don’t mind them, Ethan, continue eating.”
Ethan nodded and said, “Thank you, Mr. Taylor.”
Despite his words, Ethan felt a bit of pressure deep in his heart.
Seeing the state of the Taylor family members toward him, Ethan knew how difficult it would be to marry Emily.
Seeing Ethan looking upset, Emily whispered, “Don’t worry about them. After all, it’s me who’s marrying you, not them.”
At Emily’s words, Ethan’s face relaxed a lot.
He looked at Emily and whispered, “I won’t let you sacrifice your family ties for me.”
Ethan believed that the Taylor family would accept him someday.
After dinner, Mike Taylor waved his hand and said, “Ethan, come on, accompany me for another couple of rounds of chess.”
“Alright!” Ethan stood up and followed Mike Taylor to the second floor.
The two played from dawn until dusk approached.
Ethan glanced out the window and said, “Mr. Taylor, it’s getting late, I should head back.”
Mike Taylor smiled and said, “Would you like to stay the night?”
Ethan hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, I’ll consider it another time.”
“Alright,” Mike Taylor didn’t insist.
“Emily, accompany Ethan on his way out,” Mike Taylor instructed.
Ethan and Emily walked out of the Taylor family’s villa.
Walking along the quiet path of the Taylor family’s Estate, Ethan’s mind was filled with thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?” Emily blinked and asked.
Ethan smiled and shook his head, saying, “Nothing.”
“Don’t think too much; just be yourself.” Emily tiptoed and tapped Ethan lightly on the head.
Soon enough, the two reached the entrance of the Taylor family’s Estate. Emily stopped and held the corner of her dress, whispering, “I’ll send you off here.”
Ethan turned to look at Emily and reluctantly said, “I really wish I could be with you all the time.”
“Me too.” Emily’s eyes sparkled.
Under the night sky, the two spoke of the innocence that didn’t belong to their age.
Time, as if for them, stood still at this moment.
After a while, Ethan finally let go of Emily’s hand.
“I’ll wait for you.” As they gazed into each other’s eyes, Emily whispered.
“Thank you for believing in me,” Ethan said sincerely.
No matter how difficult it was, as long as he faced Emily, Ethan felt that all the difficulties were insignificant.
Now that it was late, Ethan didn’t linger and turned to leave.
Upon walking several hundred meters, Ethan finally reached the main road outside the manor.
At this point, Ethan noticed a Land Rover Range Rover parked not too far away.
Although the car looked ordinary, Ethan still felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
Sure enough.
As Ethan approached the car, its lights turned on. Then, two men got out of the car and blocked Ethan’s path..
