Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation
Chapter 68 He’s Defending Her

"Aah, I'm just kidding!" Baxter laughed, but seeing Ethan's dark face, he didn't tease him anymore.

Clara, who was tuning the violin, raised her head and looked at the cold man on the sofa, and then at Baxter who was beside him.

She remembered the conversation she had with George at the hospital, and her eyes became unfathomable.

Baxter saw her expression and his heart dropped. "Wow Clara, what's with that look in your eyes?"

"What's wrong with the look in my eyes?" Clara looked at him innocently, "I just was looking at you because I thought you were handsome."

Baxter didn't believe her nonsense and emphasized, "I was just joking with Ethan. I'm straight! I'm not stupid. Girls with big breasts and big butts are great!"

He glanced down at Clara chest before shaking his head.

When Clara noticed it, her little face immediately turned frosty. "Why are you looking at me and shaking my head? Is my figure unattractive?"

"Clara, your figure is fine. It's just... your chest." Baxter rubbed his chin as he said this.

Except for her and the two young servants, everyone else in the living room were men.

Clara hadn't expected Baxter to say something like this in front of everyone. Even though she had a thick skin she couldn't take it.

She was about to give him a tongue lashing when Ethan, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke coldly, "Since you like to talk so much, recite the discipline regulations while doing push-ups. Do a hundred push- ups before eating!"

"Ah?" Baxter smile collapsed. "Ethan, I was joking with Clara."

Although he was strong but doing a hundred push-ups was still tiring.

"Two hundred!"

"I..." Baxter was so angry he wanted to swear.

"What are you waiting for?" Donny kicked Baxter, keeping a straight face, "Do you think it's too little?"

"I'll do it!" Baxter was afraid Ethan would make it three hundred, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing Baxter doing push-ups in the living room while memorizing regulations, Clara secretly stole a glance at the man on the sofa.

She knew that Baxter had been with Ethan for a long time and Donny was his effective subordinate, but now Ethan was ruthlessly punished Baxter because of her.

He was defending her.

This knowledge made Clara purse her pink lips. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She thought back to the time she had lived under the same roof as Steve for nearly twenty years. The first two years after Steve had arrived at the Rowan family, he had always taken careful care of her. However, afterwards, he had just seemed gentle, but had never defended her.

She suddenly remembered the day of her marriage. Steve had looked at her and gently said, "I am willing," but his eyes had been cold.

It turns out that a lot of things were obvious, it was just that she had been blinded by her love for him...

Ethan noticed that Clara was lost in thought. He guessed what she was thinking about, and his eyes narrowed in displeasure, but he didn't say anything.

Mae soon arrived in the living room. "Young man, young lady, it's time to eat."

After arriving at the Preston Village, Mae still called Clara 'young lady', and called Ethan 'young man'. She did it so that Clara could know that she still had people by her side, and that she wasn't all alone. Ethan didn't care what Mae called him. He got up and went to the dining room.

"Young lady?" Mae called out to Clara again.

Clara suddenly returned to her senses, looked at Mae, and said "What?"

"You weren't there just now, I called you a few times, but you didn't respond," Mae's face was full of worry, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Clara shook his head.

She had become lost in thought remembering her past with Steve, while still in front of Ethan...

She glanced at the man who was already seated at the dining table, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Her mind hadn't been written on her face, so he probably did not know why she had been lost in thought, right?

By the time Baxter had finished his two hundred push-ups, Clara had already finished dinner and was eating fruit in the living room. After eating, Baxter also came to the living room.

He poured himself a cup of black tea. "I was blind. I didn't expect Ethan to be a protective demon. I won't be naughty again next time..."
