Chapter 184 The Love Rival (1)
The thing that concerned Cecilia the most was the relationship between Ethan and the woman in the photos. Although she knew Alice only married Ethan for Caroline’s sake, she couldn’t help but find the fact pretty annoying.
“That’s not important, Alice replied nonchalantly. After all, she was never Ethan’s real wife anyway. Now that she was going to divorce him soon, she didn’t care who that lady was to Ethan, for it didn’t matter to
her.
After reading the message. Cecilia smirked. ‘Why do I feel like slapping you in the face? You’re Ethan’s wife! You guys are legal spouses! Legal! Where has your temper gone to?‘
‘Do you need me to find out more about this lady?‘ Cecilia wasn’t exactly a gossipy person; instead, she just wanted to see whether there was anything out of the ordinary between Ethan and that woman. After all, she found out that the last time Ethan met that woman was before he married Alice. If Ethan still hangs around with this woman even after they supposedly cut ties with each other, then things don’t seem as simple as they
are.
As Cecilia’s best friend, Alice knew what was on her mind, but at the same time, she also knew Ethan well enough to believe he was not a playboy. ‘Even if Ethan really did what you think he did, I doubt he would meet up with that woman, not when we’re still bound by our marriage.‘
-Well, I, too, don’t think Mr. Winters is as bad as he seems…‘ Cecilia let out a sigh, thinking that Ethan was a trustworthy man. Deep down, she wished Alice could take things further in her relationship with Ethan as she wanted her friend to find a soulmate whom she could entrust her future with.
Yup, I trust Ethan. He knows what should and shouldn’t be done. Alice sounded firm, but little did she know that she was about to be proven wrong.
The next morning, Alice woke up to her hunger around 6.00AM. She had been too tired the night before and went to bed directly without eating. After that, she crept off her bed and headed over to the kitchen where she found some cooking ingredients in the refrigerator. Then, she began making herself breakfast, whereupon she served the food on the table and was about to enjoy it. At that moment, the manor’s door swung open just before a silhouette came to view, leaving Alice stunned.
Can somebody tell me what’s going on? She gazed at the figure that opened the door and walked into the house as though the person owned the place.
Obviously, it’s not her first time being here. Seeing a visitor with a familiar face around six in the morning, Alice was instantly reminded of the photos Cecilia sent her the day before. Damn, I told Cecilia that Ethan wouldn’t have met this woman until we divorced, but it looks like I’ve been proven wrong. Dang it! Alice stared at the woman silently without moving.
Lorien looked back at Alice and blinked a few times, asking in confusion, “Are you the new babysitter?”
Alice was slightly stunned, but she didn’t admit nor deny it. After all, she didn’t know whether she should respond, considering the complicated relationship between Lorien and Ethan. Furthermore, her awkward position in the relationship also made it hard for her to think of an appropriate answer.
“Great. Please take my belongings from outside, will you?” Lorien thought Alice was the babysitter since Alice didn’t deny it.
While Lorien got the wrong idea from Alice’s eye contact with her, Alice couldn’t help but laugh at herself in secret. Am I being too obvious?
