Chapter 201 Ethan Seeks Alice (1)
In reality, Caroline knew that her mother left her a number before leaving, but she didn’t want to tell the Knights about it, including her current father.
Why would she tell them?
If she told them, they would only continue bullying her mother.
She absolutely could not do that!
No one was allowed to bully her mother!
There was a gleam in Ethan’s eyes as he could see that Caroline was lying. Caroline probably knew how to contact Alice, but she told a lie.
Ethan discreetly let out a sigh and decided not to pursue the matter.
He understood what Caroline was thinking, and he also knew her personality. Alice had raised Caroline, so the child was as stubborn as she was. If Caroline didn’t want to say something, no one could force it out of her.
Caroline had been suppressing it all along, but she was just a child. She remembered what her mother taught her, so she would be a good and polite child. Hence, she suppressed her rage instead of letting it out.
However, she couldn’t hold back the tears in her eyes. Her tears rolled down her cheeks, but Caroline didn’t cry aloud. She simply stood there and silently let her tears fall.
“Don’t be scared, Caroline.” Britney’s heart ached for Caroline when she saw that, so she walked over to comfort the child.
Caroline hastily took a step backward. However, she only took one step backward before stopping. She gazed at Britney with her watery eyes as she said, “Grandma, you’re my grandma, but I don’t have a mommy anymore. Not anymore.”
Britney’s heart was breaking, but when she remembered that Alice had already left and not longer had any connections to the Knights, she thought that Caroline should forget about Alice too. “Caroline, she’s not your real mother, after all…”
“Mom.” Ethan’s expression shifted. He had never been so stern to his family before; he had always been gentle.
Perhaps realizing her slip-up, Britney stopped speaking.
Caroline’s expression shifted noticeably as well. She looked at Britney in disbelief, then after
a moment, she nodded earnestly. “Yes, she’s not my real mother, but she rescued me and raised me for three years, yet my family treated her like that. She’s not my real mother, so why would she save me and raise me? Why would she endure so much suffering for me? She’s not my real mother, so why would she care about me? She’s not my real mother, after all…”
Caroline spoke the phrase ‘not my real mother’ again and again, breaking everyone’s heart when they heard it.
Even Ethan’s eyes turned red.
Britney lowered her head and didn’t make another sound.
Just then, the door was pushed open. Holland and Marie walked in.
“What’s the matter? Why is Caroline crying?” Marie felt her heart aching when she saw the tears streaming down Caroline’s face. She quickly walked over to Caroline so that she could. carry the latter in her arms.
