Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

His mind must have short-circuited just now, or how could he misunderstand the situation without thinking it

through?

Moreover, Alice explained the situation to him, so he felt quite satisfied.

Previously, Alice had always avoided him and steered clear of anything relating to him, so she naturally wouldn’t tell

him about her matters.

Now that she was willing to clarify things, did that mean she was starting to take into consideration that she was his

wife?

Meanwhile, Alice thought Ethan had called her several times because he had something urgent, so she didn’t hang

up, but Ethan didn’t talk about anything important or tell her he was on the way back to Rodcaster.

Also, he didn’t even mention anything about Keith because he needed the element of surprise. Not only did he need

that to deal with Keith, but her as well! Only by taking them by surprise could he win.

When Alice hung up the call, her eyes glistened. Since Ethan knew Keith was at the Woland Residence, he must

know the Rowland Family had come to propose a marriage between their families, so he must also know Keith had

sent her a whole truck of roses but never mentioned it. It seemed like Ethan was more open-minded and not as

petty, overbearing, and unreasonable as she thought he was! If that were the case, she would feel more relieved.

Turning around, Alice was suddenly met with Keith’s enlarged face and was shocked that she had taken a few steps

back.

“Was it Ethan?” Keith looked at her with a slight smile.

“Yes.” Alice gave it a thought and slowly nodded because she felt there was no need to hide the truth since Keith

had already guessed it.

“What’s your relationship with Ethan?” Keith wanted to know at what point her relationship with Ethan was because

he had heard her explain the matter about washing grapes with Ethan.

Since she had explained the truth to Ethan, it meant they were involved with each other. It was just a matter of how

involved they were.

“We’re married.” This time, Alice basically didn’t hesitate and replied directly.

Her thoughts were that once Keith knew about her relationship with Ethan, they could finally end this marriage

proposal.

Of course, she still remembered that her marriage with Ethan couldn’t be revealed, but she thought Keith wasn’t a

loudmouth, so he wouldn’t deliberately spread it out. Therefore, she wasn’t breaking the agreement.

Moreover, even if she didn’t tell Keith, he might be able to find out about it later.

“Alice Woland, you can reject me directly if you don’t want to marry me. Why make up such an outrageous

excuse?” Keith was initially taken aback, and then he immediately gave her a death stare.

It’s only a casual question. Why does she have to make up such a lie?!

“Fine. I reject your marriage proposal, but Ethan and I are really married.” Alice’s rejection had rendered Keith with

no room for negotiation.

That was how she was—decisive, straightforward, and disliked dragging things.

Marrying Keith was impossible, and even if he were Apollo’s biological father, Alice still wouldn’t marry him, so she

decisively rejected him.

When they met previously, she was slow to react because she was thinking about the night from seven years ago.

After giving her a look, Keith smiled and then suddenly yelled in the direction of the hall, “Old Mr. Woland, Alice says

she and Et—”

Shocked, Alice hurriedly stuffed a large grape inside Keith’s mouth, stopping his words.

“What’s the matter with Alice?” Charles only heard half of Keith’s sentence and was curious, so he looked over.

“I-It’s nothing.” Alice shook her head. The matter between Ethan and her could be revealed to Keith but not the

Woland Family.

The members of the Woland Family were all shameless and greedy. Once they knew she had married Ethan, they

would think of all kinds of ways to take advantage of the Knight Family.

Not to mention Ethan and she were only married by contract. Even if they were married, she couldn’t let the

Wolands shamelessly put their hands on the Knight Family.

Afraid Keith would continue spouting nonsense, Alice didn’t remove her hand after placing the grape inside Keith’s

mouth. Instead, she used her hand to force the grape to stay inside Keith’s mouth.

In the meantime, Keith looked at her with all smiles, indulging her behavior.

“Those two kids…” James looked at the two and smiled.

Charles also stopped asking questions, and Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief before letting go.

“What’s the matter? Why did you stop making up stories?” Keith bit into the grape in his mouth and chewed

carefully, feeling it was exceptionally sweet and refreshing.

Meanwhile, Alice gave him a side eye and said nothing.

Looking at James sitting in the living room, she discovered he had been avoiding the important topics and seemed

to be acting dumb. Since prolonging this matter wasn’t a good idea, Alice decided she needed to take the initiative.

She walked into the living room and sat directly opposite James.

When Keith noticed her actions, he was slightly surprised and wondered what she was about to do.

James raised an eyebrow, thinking, This little girl finally can’t stand it anymore, but it’s already very good for young

people like her to endure this matter until now.

“Old Mr. Rowland, I heard you enjoy playing chess. How about I play a few rounds with you?” How could Alice not

notice James’ intentions? He was indeed as cunning as a fox.

However, she had her ways of dealing with sly foxes.

On her way to the Woland Residence, she had done some digging into James’ matters.

On the other hand, James was slightly stunned to hear that, and his eyes were filled with slight surprise as he

wondered, Why doesn’t this little girl play by the rules?! Is this a time to talk about chess?

Coming back to his senses, James smiled and asked, “Do you know how to play chess?”

“Yes, I do know a little, but my skills can’t compare with yours, so I would like to ask you to go easy on me.” Alice

playfully stuck out her tongue.

“What are you trying to do?” Keith felt more alert as he felt Alice’s intentions weren’t as simple as playing a round

of chess with his grandfather. However, he couldn’t think of a reason for her to do this.

“Of course, it’s to play a round of chess with Old Mr. Rowland. Why are you so nervous?” Alice looked at him with a

slight, casual smile, giving Keith goosebumps.

In such a situation, Keith couldn’t back down, so he smiled and suddenly approached Alice. “Yes, I am nervous, but I

am nervous for you.”

Keith had reached great heights in sweet talking.

Suzette, who was helping inside the kitchen, saw that scene and quickly took a picture of it with her phone.

Inside the picture, Alice was sitting on the couch with Keith behind her. He was bent over the couch with his face

close to Alice while she had slightly turned her face to look at him. From the picture, the two were very close

together, and because of the angle, it looked like Keith was kissing Alice’s cheek.

As the picture captured Alice’s cheek without the scar, she looked captivatingly beautiful.
