Chapter 185 The Love Rival (2)
“Well, I guess I should leave you both to it. I shall return to my room.” Alice reckoned she should sensibly walk away at that moment, thinking it wasn’t appropriate for her to be a third wheel around them. Therefore, she quickly made her way to her room upstairs as soon as she finished her sentence without even waiting for Ethan to respond. Meanwhile, Ethan was left with a darkened expression on his face as he watched Alice leave.
“Wait a minute, isn’t she the babysitter? Who is she, then?” Lorien could tell from Ethan’s darkened look that she had gotten the wrong idea about who Alice was. Apparently. Alice was not who she thought she was. After all, she naturally assumed that Alice was the babysitter since she hadn’t admitted or denied it.
“Is she your soulmate or lover? Your girlfriend, perhaps?” Before Ethan could answer her question, she went on and kept guessing even though she didn’t expect an answer from Ethan. Knowing him, he’ll respond to my question with nothing but silence.
“I’m married.” Ethan revealed the answer, refusing to keep her guessing all day.
“Y–You’re married?” Lorien couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise and disbelief, for she didn’t expect to hear
that answer.
Lorien gulped and blinked as everything began to dawn on her. “So, is she your young
wife?”
Ethan didn’t answer the lady’s question but instead turned grimmer. What do you mean by saying she’s my young wife? Do I look old to you? I’m only three years older than her, you know.
When Ethan didn’t deny it, Lorien quickly knew she was right. Thus, she chuckled gleefully and said, “Why do I have a feeling that she doesn’t love you that much? In fact, it even looks like she’s trying to bring us together.”
“You talk too much” Ethan glared at Lorien angrily as a sign of warning, and he spoke intimidatingly. I can tell what Alice is up to by myself. There is no need for you to remind me, lady!
At the thought of that, he felt a strong urge of strangling Alice to death for rewarding his love unfairly. Then, when he noticed that Lorien was already finished with her dishes, he couldn’t help but feel even more annoyed about it. After all, he had never tried his own wife’s cooking before, yet Lorien beat him to
that.
“Come on, why are you so mad? I was just saying. You don’t have to be so worked up, plus I’ve never seen you acting so emotionally before.” Lorien’s eyes were filled with excitement as she knew Ethan was someone who wouldn’t get emotional so easily, but he seemed to be mad over something she deemed trivial this time. “Hmm, I’m sensing some other possibilities here. Could I be right?” Lorien grew even more curious after finishing her meal.
Upon hearing the lady’s words, Ethan gazed at the lady with a pair of furrowed eyebrows, trying to figure out the meaning behind her words.
Ethan was stunned, glaring at Lorien before he rose from his seat and headed upstairs. Seeing the man’s reaction, Lorien was slightly surprised; it seemed to her that Ethan was taking her word for it, although what she said about Alice earlier was just her mere speculation. He seems desperate, which means he really cares about her. In that case, it looks like he’s fallen for her during the marriage.
Having been by Charles‘ side all this time, Lorien was convinced he had no idea about Ethan’s marriage with Alice, not to mention the fact that she just came from that old man’s place. What’s going on? How come Ethan didn’t say a thing about his marriage to Charles? What’s that woman doing in her room? Is she crying sadly like I think she is? I’d be happy if she is, but what if she isn’t?
