The Frozen Truth Chapter 2

I watched coldly as Ethan walked her to the guest room. Lily was about to leave when a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

With a crack of thunder, she screamed and threw herself into Ethan's arms.

Ethan stiffened, and Lily held onto him tightly: "Ethan, I'm so scared. Can you stay and keep me company?"

Ethan's hand lingered on her back for a moment, then he patted her, "Okay."

At that moment, I felt like a clown because I was also afraid of thunder.

I remembered when I lived alone, a sudden heavy rain and thunderstorm came one night, and the power went out. I was so scared I almost cried.

So I called him, wanting comfort.

But what did Ethan say?

"How old are you to still be afraid of thunder? Chloe, don't use this method to get my attention. You need to know that you are an adult and independent. Be good, okay?"

He hung up the phone, and that night I tightly wrapped myself in the quilt, relying on the phone flashlight to get through.

I couldn't fall asleep until dawn.

Thinking back now, I was truly humble.

Clearly, Ethan didn't care at all. There seemed to be a wall between him and me forever.

I laughed bitterly. Although I was dead, I was still afraid of the thunder.

I hugged my arms and shivered. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't go anywhere. I could only stay and watch Ethan comforting Lily in his arms.

And she shrunk into Ethan's arms, her eyes sharp and proud.

I sighed. Lily would always be the vermilion mole in Ethan's heart. What was I?

I shook my head and looked outside. Even in death, I was still afraid of thunder.

Fortunately, this moment didn't last too long. The thunder stopped after an hour, and Ethan left the guest room.

Lily watched his back and smiled proudly, murmuring to herself: "Ethan. You will always be mine, no one can take you away!"

I was a bit surprised to hear this. She still wanted Ethan even now.

Then why did she leave back then?

Ethan too. Since he couldn't forget her, why did he marry me?

After returning, Ethan acted uncharacteristically. He looked at my photo on his phone and said in a deep voice: "Chloe, I hope you can learn a lesson. If you soften up and admit your mistake, I'll let you out!"

Looking at Ethan's face, I just felt ridiculous.

Soften up? Admit mistake!

What did I do wrong? I didn't lock Lily in the office!

But Ethan wouldn't listen to my explanation at all because Lily acted like a green tea bitch, saying she didn't blame me, so Ethan was certain I did it.

He locked me in the abandoned cold storage unit, killed me, and now wants me to admit my mistake?

Ridiculous.

Ethan is also a smart person, being able to sit in the position of company president means he's not brainless, but when it comes to Lily, he becomes deaf and blind.

The next morning, the guards of the cold storage unit felt something was wrong and reported tremblingly:

"Mr. Ethan, should we let the madam out? There's no sound at all from inside, and a bowl of water can't last for five days!"

Ethan hesitated for a moment, then said coldly: "Without food or drink, a bowl of water is fine for ten days. Since she's so stubborn, let's continue. I want to see how long she can hold on!"

"But, but there's no sound at all from inside. We are worried, what if the madam..."

"Don't worry, Chloe is just pretending!"
