Chapter 166 What Happens When Ethan Loses His Temper (3)
As the position the two were in was just too suggestive and embarrassing, Alice dared not move all of a sudden. Hence, she froze in place and stared at Ethan with her eyes widened.
However, while Ethan’s legs did not move any further, he didn’t show any intention of moving them away either. Was he doing it on purpose? Either way, she couldn’t spot a single trace of abashment or discomfort on his face at all.
Alice’s ears flushed red at their awkward position.
“Can you move your legs away?” Alice had clearly gotten meeker, and her voice had turned softer as well. This position was just too suggestive and embarrassing.
Did he not notice at all?
As a matter of fact, Ethan was not as calm as he seemed on the outside. The moment his legs touched her body, he felt a spark course through his body. At that moment, he even had the urge to press her against the wall and fiercely capture her lips with his. If it weren’t for her look of wariness and caution, he might’ve already kissed her.
He quietly let out a sigh, thinking that she must’ve been born to antagonize him.
Ethan felt another wave of frustration upon recalling her talks of marriage with Bruce from earlier. He didn’t believe that she wanted to marry that man, not even for a second. However, from her words, it seemed that she was genuinely planning to steal the tender document for Bruce. What exactly was she up
to?
Not only did Ethan refuse to move his legs away, but he even pressed himself closer to her. “Have I ever told you that the Knight Family will never allow ourselves to be compromised?”
He had no clue why she would agree to Bruce’s request, but he wanted to tell her that now that she had married him and joined the Knight Family, she didn’t have to compromise herself, no matter what the situation was.
Alice was a little confused and assumed that he was talking about Caroline. “I remember, but I’ve never allowed Caroline to get hurt. I raised her with my own hands. I would never let that happen.”
Ethan’s eyes darkened at her words, his teeth gnashing against each other. So, she had never treated herself as a part of the Knight Family? She married into their family and became his wife, but she had never thought of herself as one of them?
“Are you a part of the Knight Family?” Ethan suppressed his emotions and growled through his teeth. “No,” Alice said without the slightest hint of hesitation, replying to him at the speed of light.
Ethan’s heart lurched, and he only felt as if there was something wedged in his chest, making him unable
to breathe.
She was his lawfully wedded wife and the daughter–in–law of the Knight Family, but she was now telling him that she wasn’t a part of his family? Right now, he had the urge to crack her head open and see what exactly was going on in her mind.
Due to Ethan deliberately leaning in closer to her, the distance between them shortened, and his legs were now in direct contact with her skin. This sensation…
“C–Can you please move for now?” Alice’s body was still
Stiff from fear of moving an inch, but because she did not budge, she was still touching him, and the feeling was just too strange.
“What if I don’t?” Ethan, who had always been calm and collected, had no idea how childish he was being.
