FreeNovelEthan was just on his way to fetch swater when he opened the front door.
"Whoa, Ethan, what are you doing here?" Angelina, standing at the door with a little boy in her arms and Georgia trailing behind her, sounded genuinely surprised.
Ethan, taken aback, glanced over at her. "What brings you here?" he managed a strained smile, exchanging pleasantries.
Before he could step aside, Angelina, holding the child, walked in. "We cto check on Alaric. What happened to your eye? Did you get into a fight?" As Angelina entered, she made a show of concern for Ethan.
