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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat 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?
“We’ve gotten a marriage certificate and are still legally married, so she shouldn’t…” He stopped talking, sensing a
bad feeling in his gut.
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.
At that thought, he asked tremblingly, “Mom, did you divorce us?” He knew Alice could not do it alone, but it would
be plausible if the Knight Family were involved.
When Rosy heard his words, she replied, “No, not yet.”
“Not yet?” Ethan’s eyes brightened up. However, he soon frowned and asked, “How will she leave if we haven’t
gotten a divorce?” That was unlike her personality.
She gulped again and explained, “I didn’t dare to handle the procedure since I was afraid you’d find out, so I made
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma fake divorce decree and sent it to her. That day, she replied to my message.”
“What did she say?” he asked reflexively.
She hesitated momentarily. “She thanked me.”
“Ha…” Ethan chuckled, but his laugh was eerie.
Although they were not divorced, he could not feel happy; everything felt ironic and sad. He could hardly imagine
what Alice had gone through. No wonder she said she isn’t a part of the Knights. My wife… Am I worthy to be her
husband? What kind of husband treats his wife this way? Still, he wanted to look for her. I need to find
her!
Then, he turned around and looked at Caroline. “Caroline, do you know how to contact Mommy?” He was putting all
hopes on her.
Ever since Rosy had given Ethan the agreement, Caroline had her eyes on it. Although she did not see the content,
she vaguely guessed it.
Was Mommy forced to sign such an agreement on the first day she entered this family? Why? How dare they! How
dare they bully Mommy! Mommy doesn’t deserve any of this. She doesn’t deserve to be in pain just because she
wants to be with me.
As Caroline thought about it, she looked at Ethan and said stiffly, “I don’t know.”
Despite knowing how to reach out, she knew Alice would not want her to tell anyone in the family, including Ethan.
