Ethan stopped his movements and looked at her with a fixed gaze.

Siobhan blushed at Ethan's blazing gaze, closed his eyes, and then opened them in annoyance, and their eyes collided.

Ethan could even feel her heart beating, and he stopped pretending to be a gentleman, and lowered his head and kissed it.

Siobhan responded enthusiastically, and just as Ethan was about to make the next move, there was a bang on the door.

The movement of the two suddenly stopped, Siobhan quickly let go of his hand, and Ethan sat up as well.

"You still have guests?"

"You made a date?"

The two of them said in unison, and then they both shook their heads again.

Siobhan had no choice but to straighten his clothes and went over to open the door with an unhappy expression.

Ethan took a sip from his glass and suppressed the fire.

After a while, a small argument came from outside the door.

Ethan sensed that something was wrong, and quickly stood up, pulled out Glock from the cabinet next to him, and walked out.

Outside the house, Siobhan and a man with medium-long hair stood under a large tree, and the two were talking excitedly.

Apparently an acquaintance, he had no choice but to stick Glock into his waist and walk over to separate the two men.

"Calm down, gentleman, is there anything going on?"

"Fake, where did this Dick come from?"

The long-haired man saw Ethan come out of Siobhan's house, and he looked unpleasant.

His face darkened, and he reached out and pushed at Ethan.

was scolded for no reason, and Ethan's face turned cold.

Worried that there was nowhere to go to the fire, Ethan quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled it back hard, following closely under his feet, and the long-haired man suddenly flew to the side and fell into a.

"Ethan, stop."

Siobhan hurriedly stopped him and prevented him from continuing to move.

Ethan saw that he was an acquaintance of Siobhan, and he couldn't make any more moves, so he stopped.

"Little squirrel, did you see that?"

"He started beating me, you're a town police officer now, aren't you going to do something?"

The long-haired man angrily spat out the dirt and grass stalks from his mouth and stood up, shouting at Siobhan.

"Looks like you attacked the police first, right?"

Ethan lifted the corner of his shirt to reveal the gun stuck in his waist, and smiled at him.

The long-haired man immediately shut his mouth and looked at him with a look of dismay.

"Ethan, you go in first, can we talk?"

Siobhan took his hand and said with a serious face.

"Are you sure you can do it alone?"

Siobhan didn't speak, and nodded silently.

Ethan gave up, glanced at the long-haired man, and walked towards the house.

The long-haired man was frightened by Ethan's cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man, and couldn't help but take a step back, and then felt that he couldn't be so cowardly, and clenched his fists.

It wasn't until Ethan was far away that he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ethan did not enter the house, but stood on the porch, lit a cigarette, put his hand on the handle of the gun, and stared at the long-haired man.

The long-haired man suddenly felt like a man on his back, and after a few brief words with Siobhan, he hurried away.

Siobhan stood there for a moment, then turned and walked over, took the cigarette from Ethan's mouth, and took a hard puff.

"That's my ex-husband, Briss Connor."

As Siobhan spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and rub his shoulder.

"What is he looking for from you?"

Ethan knew she was divorced, but forgot why.

"He wants me to lift the restraining order, otherwise he won't be able to get a job."

Siobhan said a word, and walked inside the house.

"Did he do it to you?"

Ethan hurriedly followed, and immediately understood what caused the divorce, the two had no children, and most of the cases in which the woman applied to the court for a restraining order was because of domestic violence.

Now he felt that he had just made a move too lightly, and he could have increased his strength a little more.

Siobhan nodded, and sat down on the couch with his shoulders folded.

Noticing her movements, Ethan reached for her collar, and Siobhan tried to dodge, but seeing Ethan's determined eyes, she had to stop.

Ethan grabbed her collar with her fingers, revealing her shoulders.

At the place of the shoulder strap, there is a huge scar.

"What did he do to you?" Ethan's eyes narrowed.

"It's ironed."

Siobhan ripped his clothes over the scar and smiled absently.

"It's all gone, he's paid the price, life in prison has made him grow a lot, and his temper has improved."

"You call me good-tempered if you push me up." Ethan also sat down on the couch and picked up his wine glass.

"He used to be able to beat people up in the hospital just because I was talking to another man in a bar, don't you think? It was alcohol that killed him. ”

Ethan noticed Siobhan's gaze, didn't pay any attention to it, and slowly drank the red wine from his glass.

"He can do this kind of thing because he is the kind of person he is, and don't blame the alcohol."

Putting the cup back on the table, he continued:

"What are you going to do now?"

Siobhan shook his head, "I'll lift the injunction." ”

"Bliss's cousin gave him a job, but only if he didn't have a restraining order on him."

"I'm not the same Siobhan I used to be, and he's probably made a change, but I don't want to be an obstacle to him finding a job."

"It's entirely your personal decision." Ethan shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood right now." Siobhan leaned over him.

"It's okay" Ethan lost interest after some tossing, he put his arm around Siobhan, and the two watched the survivor battle on TV together,

After half a ring, Siobhan muttered quietly, "Oz is not a champion." ”

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Ethan's slap fell heavily.

The next day, Siobhan did not show up for work at the police station.

Ethan knew that she was going to deal with her ex-husband, and he didn't care.

During this period, Hood also gave him a secure mobile phone, saying that it was given to him by Jaber, and that he could use this mobile phone to contact him if there was any emergency, so he didn't have to worry about call security.

Ethan was happy in his heart, this guy Jabber seemed to have a deep grudge against what happened last time.

In the afternoon, he received a message from Siobhan, who told Ethan that the matter had been dealt with, and told him very cryptically that there was still a bottle of red wine he had brought with him last night.

Ethan replied to her message with a smile, saying that one bottle was not enough, and that he would bring some more.

After work, Ethan didn't go home, went straight to the supermarket to buy some drinks and snacks, and then went to Siobhan's residence.

Carrying the bag from the co-pilot, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly raised his head to look forward.

The windows of Siobhan's house were pitch black, with no light, and the front door was ajar.

Ethan hurriedly opened the car door and ran to the front door.

Reaching the door, he pulled out the Glock and gently pushed the door open with the muzzle of his gun.
