Chapter 167 Ethan’s Seduction (1)
“W–Which part?” The man was still in a dumbfounded state and was unable to return to his senses. As he met Ethan’s eyes, he subconsciously took a few steps back..
However, he was able to quickly collect himself and reply, “If it’s someone like Mr. Knight, any woman would be head over heels for you. What else could they be after?”
Ethan’s lips curved upward slightly, his arms still tightly trapping Alice in his embrace. “Let’s go home.”
The man was once again stunned into silence. Was Ethan planning to take this woman straight back to the Knight Residence? Didn’t the rumors say that he usually didn’t have any interest in women? If that were the case, why was he taking a woman home from Royale so openly? The rumors were all a lie!

Meanwhile, Alice continued to lean in Ethan’s arms obediently, allowing him to escort her from Royale. He only released her from his grip when they arrived at the car and opened the passenger seat door for her, indicating for her to get in.
Alice didn’t refuse as she was already planning to visit Caroline at the Knight Residence. As she sat in the car, she thought about Ethan biting her earlier and wondered why he did that.
Once Ethan got into the car as well, he noticed that Alice was spacing out, as if her thoughts had drifted far away, and she didn’t even spare him a glance when he entered the car.
Ethan quietly exhaled. Head over heels for him, his foot! He was well aware that if he didn’t take the initiative, the woman before him would not even utter a word to him.
“Where have you been these days?” Forget it, I’ll just be assertive for once. Besides, he was extremely curious about where exactly she had gone for the past few days.
At the sound of his voice, Alice returned to her senses and turned to look at him.
Before she could speak, Ethan added, “Don’t tell me you’ve been working overtime at Galerprises. You can lie to others, but don’t try to lie to me. I don’t want to listen to any lies.”
Alice jolted, her eyes glinting. “Then I won’t say it.”
This matter involved too many things, including Pierce’s safety. Besides, she didn’t want to deceive Ethan with lies either, so she decided not to say anything at all.
Ethan’s chest tightened at her straightforwardness. Great, just great! If he hadn’t been driving, he felt like he might’ve bitten her head off, just like what he nearly did at Royale.
In fact, he still wanted to say something—at least to let her know how he felt—until he recalled when she said she wouldn’t like him, and she was even preparing to retire from being his wife at any moment. If he really did tell her something at this moment, his little fox would most likely run far away from him. Forget it. I’ll just take it slow. She was already his wife anyway, and they still had the rest of their lives ahead of
them.
“I heard from Caroline that your brother has been in a coma ever since a car accident befell him seven years ago.” While he could hide his feelings, he still had to talk to her about Pierce; he really wanted to help her out.
A flash darted past Alice’s eyes before she gently nodded. “Yeah.”
At first, she had never told Caroline about Pierce as she was still a child, and she was afraid that Caroline
would not be able to keep a secret. However, Caroline was a shrewd brat and snuck into her car once, following Jane to Pierce’s living quarters where she ended up finding out about him. However, Alice moved Pierce away after that.
On the contrary, despair filled Ethan’s heart at her words. As her husband, wasn’t it par for the course for him to do these things? However, he soon let out a small breath to calm himself down. Get used to it, Ethan Knight. If you don’t, she might end up driving you insane.
