Ethan was left in the kitchen irritated by the events because he wanted to be the only one to treat Alyssa, but he had no right, and since he already knew that their marriage was just a show and they will only separate after the end of the one year contract. He thought, what if he will confess how he feels? So he decided to talk to his older brother about what he thought about his wife before telling her.
He walked away from the kitchen and walked upstairs because he intends to talk to his older brother.
