Chapter 178 Divorce (3)
“Mr. Knight, thank you for… looking out for me.” Alice felt truly grateful to Ethan for giving Archie the call. Although he didn’t help much, she still appreciated his kindness. However, she couldn’t reveal her relationship with Archie, so she couldn’t directly express her gratitude.
Meanwhile, Ethan looked at her without saying anything. Why is she thanking me for looking out for her? Isn’t that what I should do? Is this something she should thank me for?
Since she was used to his silence, she didn’t think much about it and went straight to her point. “Mr. Knight, it has been some time since Caroline moved into the Knight Residence, and she has completely adapted to life here.”
“Well, she has a good ability to adapt.” He agreed on this point.
“So, I think it’s time for me to let go. Even though the time isn’t…” She wanted to mention that the six- month period they had agreed upon had not elapsed, but since Caroline had already adapted, she could leave early.
“Alice? You guys are still awake?” Rosy, who happened to come downstairs, suddenly interrupted her words. “Well then, Alice, I bought a few things today that I think would suit you. Come upstairs with me and take a look.” She rushed up to Alice and reached out to hold her.
Rosy words and actions left Alice puzzled as she was the one who made her sign an agreement as soon as she entered the Knight Family, so she had always been cold and distant toward her. Why is she suddenly so friendly?
She couldn’t just accept things from Rosy casually, so she politely refused. “Thank you, Rosy, but it’s okay.”
“Then, can you help me see if the things I bought for myself look good on me?” However, Rosy didn’t let go of Alice but insisted on pulling her upstairs.
Alice felt that Rosy was Caroline’s family after all, so she couldn’t easily reject her and embarrass her. In the end, she could only stand up reluctantly.
“Alice and I are in the middle of a conversation, Mom.” Ethan was listening to Alice’s words, but before he could figure out the meaning behind what she was saying, he was interrupted by his mother just like that. This made him a little dissatisfied. Now his mother even wanted to take Alice away directly, so he couldn’t help but protest.
“I’m just borrowing your wife for a while. Do you have to be that anxious? Can’t you wait for a while?” Rosy glared at him and then pulled Alice toward the stairs.
Hearing that, Ethan rubbed his nose. I’m quite anxious, indeed. However, the way his mother called Alice ‘your wife‘ sounded pleasant to his ears, and he couldn’t bring himself to compete with his mother for his wife. So, the words he wanted to say remained unsaid.
Meanwhile, Alice followed Rosy upstairs, and when she made sure Ethan couldn’t see them, she directly asked, “Is there something you wanted to talk to me about, Mrs. Knight?”
“It’s nothing, really. I just heard you say that Caroline has adapted, and you want to let go. Are you planning to leave?” Rosy lowered her gaze slightly to conceal her guilt.
“Yes. Since Caroline has fully adapted now, I plan to leave early.” Alice naturally wouldn’t hide this from Rosy.
