Loving A STRANGER 228 Chapter 228: Matthew's Advice

Matthew turned back to Ethan on his way out. He said, "Ethan, you've looked exhausted lately. Please don't take on more than you can handle. You aren't as young as you once were. Save some of your energy to enjoy the more pleasurable things that life has to offer. Go home, occasionally. Make love to your wife, and start a family. If you don't have an heir, everything you've done here would have been for naught. Remember, you have a beautiful wife beside you, and she's young. Don't waste your time exerting effort to do unnecessary things,"

Ethan had been having these same thoughts lately and was surprised at having Matthew parrot them back to him. He sighed and said, "I hate to admit it, but you are right. The other day, Kylie gave me a full body ma.s.sage, and I was sure that she had dirty thoughts running through her mind, but I fell asleep. The next day, I was very embarra.s.sed… Thank you, brother!"

Matthew nodded and left him. Once Matthew was gone, Ethan called Kylie. He explained that someone had challenged his way of thinking and that he thought they should talk about it as soon as an opportunity presented itself. At the time, Kylie had been testing some of the cosmetics that had been sent from the company that Fannie had suggested. When she finished listening to Ethan, though, she put the make-up aside and asked him who would have the audacity to challenge his way of living.

"It doesn't matter who it was," Ethan replied. "All that matters is that he was right and, if I want to live a more fulfilling life, I should take his advice seriously. I also thought life is short and I should live to the fullest,"

Kylie frowned and felt curious. This was not a side of Ethan that she was used to knowing. "Is there anything you need from me? If it concerns me and I could give it to you, I will try my best to give it," she wondered.

"I think I would like to have a baby…" Ethan whispered in a naughty. 

"It has always been what I've wanted. I told you last time, but it seems you're too busy with your stuff," Kylie replied. "You have always known that I wanted to bear our child. I will go off the pill immediately. In the meantime, as we try, you should get your sperm count checked, and I can go to my gynecologist to have the viability of my eggs checked."

Ethan smiled and said, "I am so excited that we are doing this. I mean, planning to have our family progress to the next level. I still have more to discuss with you later, though; don't worry, it is all good!"

Kylie found that her thoughts were racing as she hung up the phone. Her heart was beating fast, and a thin veneer of sweat appeared on her arms. WhenFaith returned with some headshots, she touched Kylie's forehead and asked her if she had a fever.

"No," Kylie replied. "I'm fine." She picked up the headshots, looked them over, and askedFaith if she had any suggestions.Faith shrugged. They were all the same to her. While Kylie was suffering over the photos,Faith pulled out a pamphlet for the cosmetic company that Khloe had used in Hamorna.

"After everything that happened," Kylie said, "I don't think that they would want to work with us. Khloe slandered them, and there is no doubt that it had a negative effect on their sales."

Faith looked at Kylie, who was sitting proudly on the sofa like a queen. She also had some concerns. "Even if they agreed to sign with us," she said, "we would never feel completely safe. We would have to watch our backs constantly. At any time, they could set a trap for us to fall into."

"Let me call Fannie," Kylie sighed. Once she had Fannie on the speakerphone, she asked her if she'd contacted any cosmetic companies today.

 "It's not going well," Fannie admitted. "After everything that's happened, no one wants to partner with Garcia Entertainment. Do you know who the owner of that indie cosmetics store that we talked about is? They use all-natural products, which people are into these days, and maybe they need us as much as we need them…"

"I am not sure," Kylie replied, "but if you aren't able to make any progress, let me know. I may be able to help. Or maybe I can suggest something that we could come up with a good result. I don't want to lose this company because my grandfather had built this one,"

"Yeah, I know. Thank you so much for your concern, once I get some progress I will let you know," Fannie replied.

It was very noisy in the background, and Kylie asked Fannie if she was in the subway.

"Yes," Fannie replied proudly. "I have been scoping out the city and scouting out the best places for advertis.e.m.e.nts. It was very informative. By the way," Fannie wondered, "did you chose somebody from the headshots thatFaith gave you?"

Kylie smiled and said, "I chose Lily.Faith broke the news to her already, and she is ecstatic. Personally, I think a celebration is in order!"

"Kylie, why here. I mean, she's Khloe's a.s.sistant," Fannie sounded panicked. 

"Why not her? We can get some information from her about Khloe's activities," She said quickly. 

"Oh, that sounds interesting," 

"Yeah, and Lucas will also help you also to carry out some of your tasks,"

Lucas nodded and said, "Everything has been so busy lately that we haven't stopped to breathe, let alone party. Let's do it. I will contact everyone that we want to invite."

Fannie was still on the phone, and she said, "Let's go to the bar on Vista Avenue. I think having a good celebration night party will do a lot," and everyone agreed that it was a great idea.

"Just don't invite Khloe," Kylie said.

"I wouldn't think of it," Lucas replied.
