Chapter 200 Ethan Is Looking For Her
The intense stare rendered Rosy with no courage to lie. “It’s me. I’m the one who said it,” she confessed in a low voice.
Ethan took a deep breath and questioned, “When? When did you make that agreement?” His voice trembled as if afraid of the truth.”
She succumbed to the pressure. “Her first day at the Knight Residence.”
In that split second, his heart dropped to the bottom of his heart. He closed his eyes, concealing his emotions, but his trembling hands had exposed him.
On the day he had gotten the marriage certificate with Alice, he had some urgent business to do and left Rodcaster. Yet, Rosy had said such harsh words to Alice on the first day she came here. He could only imagine how Alice would feel at that moment. She was his wife, yet he could not protect her; he was the cause of her misery.
In the meantime, tears brimmed Caroline’s eyes as she looked at Rosy. She knew that Alice had come to the Knight Residence because of her, but she did not know that Alice had to endure such agony because of her. If she had known it sooner, she would have agreed for Alice to leave immediately
After some time, Ethan snapped back to his senses. His eyes were full of emotions. “We’re legally married. Even if she leaves, she will still be my wife. With her personality, she wouldn’t leave without any reason.” Then, he looked at Rosy and continued, “Is there anything else I should know?”
He knew Alice well; she would do things nicely and never leave anything unattended. Therefore, she would never vacate herself just because of a promise.
Hearing his words, Rosy froze and gulped harshly. Initially, she did not want to say anything, but as soon as she saw his gaze, she replied honestly, “I let her sign an agreement.”
His
gaze darkened at that revelation. He knew it, but this was the worst scenario he could ever think of. “Where’s the agreement?” He breathed heavily.
He could have guessed what was on it, but he still wanted to peruse it. He wanted to know what Alice was forced to sign by Rosy.
Since Rosy knew that it was useless to hide the truth anymore, she took out the agreement and gave it to him. Grabbing the paper, he tried to suppress himself, but his hands were shaking. Instead of anxiety, there was fear.
After Ethan retrieved the agreement, he took a deep breath before looking at it. As he slowly scanned the text, his heart sank, and his hands trembled violently. Once done, he raised his head and revealed a smile filled with sadness, bitterness, and helplessness. At that moment, he seemed… løst.
Why? How dare my family forces her to sign such a thing! I always blamed her for acting so cold toward me and even accused her of not liking me. Yet, how can she not act cold when forced to sign such an agreement? How will she possibly love me? After all, the agreement clearly stated that she was banned from falling in love with me. How ironic this is, to forbid my legally married wife to fall in love with me?! This is all my fault. If I had known it sooner… If I had protected her… It’s all my fault now that she’s gone. Yet, I didn’t want to let her go, but…
He knew Alice well, so he understood how severe this matter was. searched her for two days when she left. However, he was not afraid then because he knew she would be back. Now that things had taken a turn, he was devastated to learn she would never return. How will I find
Suddenly, he recalled how he had her? Where could she possibly go?
With her personality, she will never allow this marriage to continue if she decides to leave. She will find a way to get things out of the way.
