Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

“What are you trying to say?” Alice knew Lydia was up to something when she saw her looking like this.

“Darling, let’s say Ethan just came out of the shower wearing only a bathrobe, and he fastened his bathrobe belt

semi-tightly. Drops of water stream down from his hair, pass through his sexy Adam’s apple, slide across his

muscular chest, and then keep sliding down and down… Tell me—will you be able to control yourself?”

Alice imagined the scene in her head, and quite vivid imagery was instantly formed.

“Have you gone out of your mind? Are you not aware of Ethan’s identity? Do you think there’s a chance that he

puts himself in such a circumstance?” Although there was such vivid imagery in Alice’s mind, she felt it could never

occur to Ethan.

“Just tell me—will you be able to control yourself if such a circumstance really does occur?” There was no way Lydia

would let Alice muddle through. After all, Lydia had always admired Ethan the most. Furthermore, as far as she

knew, Ethan was a fine man, indeed. Now that Alice is married to Ethan, I sincerely hope for her happiness in

marriage. She has put up with plenty of bullsh*t in the past seven years and is used to bearing the hardships and

burdens alone. Her days have been nothing but exhausting and bitter throughout these years. It’s time for her to

have her happiness.

“How about you go to Ethan and ask him to demonstrate first?” No doubt, Alice was totally teasing Lydia. She was

sure that Lydia didn’t dare to express the things she said to her in front of Ethan. Of course, Alice was also sure that

Ethan was unlikely to do those things even if Lydia was bold enough to suggest to him as that wasn’t Ethan’s style at

all. Alice couldn’t even imagine such a thing when it came to Ethan.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Ethan’s eyes flickered as he thought, How is Alice so sure I won’t do everything Lydia

just said? After all, nothing is impossible, right?

“Challenge not accepted. I can’t say these in front of him. I really can’t.” Lydia became timid within seconds. Some

things are still better left in my mind. Just because I’m being bold and loud right now, it doesn’t mean that I don’t

know that Ethan can and will effortlessly crush me to pieces if I truly ask him to do everything I just said to Alice.

“Stop blabbering if you can’t.” Lydia’s numerous whimsical ideas truly blew Alice’s mind.

With that, Lydia stopped freaking out, and her facial expression instantly turned especially pensive. “Alice, let me

ask you a super serious question. Now that you have obtained a marriage license with Ethan, this means the two of

you are legally married. Will you fall in love with Ethan now that you are together day and night?”

Lydia truly hoped that Alice could be happy. In her opinion, a man like Ethan could bring happiness to Alice.

In the meantime, Ethan, who was outside the room, instantly stood upright a little. His facial expression swiftly

became solemn too. And if one looked closely, one could tell Ethan was slightly anxious through his eyes. After all,

he wanted to know Alice’s answer more than Lydia did. I know she has yet to be interested in me now. So, I am sure

she isn’t in love with me now. But what about in the future? As Lydia said, we are together day and night. Will she

fall in love with me after a few months or years?

“No, I won’t,” Alice replied without giving it a second thought and without the slightest hesitation. Ethan and I will

get divorced after six months. In that case, why would I allow myself to fall in love with Ethan when I clearly know

there is a chance for our relationship to fail? No, I will absolutely not fall in love with Ethan. Without question!

Outside the room, Ethan remained in his upright posture. However, it was slightly different from just now. Earlier, he

was instinctively controlling himself to stand upright. But now, his body turned naturally stiff without the need to

control. Alice’s reply was so straightforward that Ethan found it hard to comprehend. I can’t believe she answers so

decisively without giving a thought and the slightest hesitation. Alice won’t fall in love with me, huh? How can she be

so sure that she won’t fall in love with me in the future? Why is Alice so sure? What exactly makes her so sure she

will never fall in love with me in the future?

“Then, will you come to have romantic feelings for him over time?” Cecilia, too, had been waiting for Alice’s reply.

After she heard it, she involuntarily asked again. Even though I have never met Ethan and don’t know his true

character, I have heard a thing or two about him. Hence, I know he is an exceptionally fine man who deserves to be

Alice’s partner.

“No,” Alice replied with an even more blunt demeanor this time. She didn’t pause even for a second. Me coming to

have romantic feelings for Ethan over time? The act of Mrs. Knight demanding me to sign an agreement as soon as

I got married into the Knight Family alone had undoubtedly prevented all possibilities. Hold on. Ethan was actually

the one who suggested we sign an agreement. In that case, how am I likely to come to have romantic feelings for

him over time? I have always been conscious and calm when handling my relationship with Ethan and the Knight

Family. Therefore, I will never have the slightest dream that we will be together as I know Ethan doesn’t belong to

me, no matter how fine he is. Likewise, regardless of how powerful and influential the Knight Family is, it’s none of

my business. I have never thought about gaining anything from the Knight Family.

“Forget about it, Cecilia. Judging by her adamant demeanor, I’d say all hope is lost. She isn’t willing to spend time

with Ethan, so how will she develop romantic feelings for Ethan?” Lydia sighed, obviously feeling down. I know what

Alice said just now didn’t have any pretexts. Alice isn’t the kind to speak with a forked tongue, so she is dead

serious. I know Alice truly means it when she says she won’t fall in love with Ethan. To Alice, she has calmly ruled

out the probability of this thing occurring. No conditions can entice her to the things she wants to reject. This is Alice

—a woman who is sometimes more cold-blooded than men.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Ethan seemed to smile slightly, yet there was no sign of joy in his eyes. She even

rules out the possibility of coming to have romantic feelings for me over time!? So, to her, we have no chance of

being together at all!? But we have taken a marriage license together. We are a legitimate couple. Why is it

impossible?

“Since you won’t fall in love with him, why did you apply for a marriage license and marry him then?” Cecilia didn’t

make a fuss like Lydia. Her thoughts wandered even further. For some reason, she constantly felt that there was

more to this matter.

“Because of Caroline. Caroline is a bloodline of the Knight Family.” Alice had complete trust in the two of them.

Moreover, they knew what happened to Caroline.

“What?! Caroline is Christine’s daughter!?” exclaimed Lydia. “That explains why I always have a sense of familiarity

when I see Caroline. It’s like I’ve seen her somewhere before. Why haven’t I thought of this possibility before?”

Since Lydia and Christine also grew up in the same compound, she naturally knew Christine.

“Is that why Ethan got the marriage license with you? Because he wants Caroline to return to the Knight Family?”

Cecilia furrowed her brows tightly, and her voice tinged with fury. “So, that is the reason behind this marriage.”
