Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 199 Getting a Divorce (5)
She believed that she had already grown up and should learn to protect Alice instead of being a burden to
her.
“How thoughtful of you.” Ethan chuckled. She is such a considerate child. She listens to Alice’s words.
“Mommy is gone. What else can I be other than being thoughtful?” As she spoke, she glanced at Ethan with disdain but
suppressed her dissatisfaction when she remembered what Alice had told her.
When he heard her words, he was startled. “What are you talking about? Isn’t Mommy coming back late because she has some
business to attend to? Why do you talk like she’s not going to be back?”
“Mommy is gone. She abandoned me and wants me to stay here. I will be a good girl and listen to her.”
Ethan’s expression shifted, but he subconsciously assumed Caroline was mistaken. “No. Mommy won’t abandon you. She won’t
leave.”
Initially, she was suppressing her emotions, but as soon as she heard his words, she could not stand it and raised her voice.
“Mommy is gone! She’s truly gone! She won’t be back anymore. She will never return to the Knights!”
Ethan froze and grabbed her shoulder, staring deep into her eyes with a question. “Who told you this?”
Met with his gaze, Caroline became frightened and lowered her voice. “Mommy told me herself before she left. Plus, she’s been
gone for three days.”
“Three days?” He breathed heavily and squashed his emotions, trying to soften his voice since he was afraid of scaring Caroline.
“Yes.” She nodded.
Ethan narrowed his eyes at her reaction. Whether or not Caroline is telling the truth about Alice’s departure, Alice hasn’t returned
home for three days. Yet, Mom didn’t say anything about it. She even told me that Alice was just going out. Did she know that
Alice had already left?
As he thought about it, he recalled that Alice would not leave without a trace. She was a woman who would never do things by
halves. Thus, Rosy should be aware of it. As such, he stood up abruptly and left the room. When he went downstairs, Rosy was

still sitting in the living room doing nothing but lowering her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
When Ethan saw her, he cut to the chase and asked, “Mom, where is Alice?”
Rosy froze at his interrogation. After some time, she slowly raised her head and looked at him. “Alice... She’s gone.”
“Gone? What do you mean by gone?” His heart dropped. He could have his suspicions on Caroline, but it was useless when he
heard Rosy’s words.
“Just... Just go,” she stammered with guilt.
For a moment, he said nothing and merely stared at her.
“Alice said she could be at ease and leave since Caroline has gotten used to us. Then, she just left.” Rosy avoided the important
and dwelled on the trivial. It was true that Alice had said those words, but the agreement was the main part of the cause, which
she chose to conceal.
As Ethan heard her words, he suddenly recalled what Alice said. Indeed, she had told him that Caroline had gotten used to the
Knight Family. As he thought about it, he kept staring at Rosy without moving.
Creeped out by his stare, she could not help but add, “Alice said that we can contact her if anything happens. When Caroline
misses her, we can call her too.”
Truthfully, Alice had never said those words. After all, Rosy was being forceful against her, and even if Alice were reluctant to
leave Caroline, she would not utter such words. However, she did say such a thing to Caroline and even left a contact number
for her, so only the kid knew how to reach out to her.
Frustrated by the situation, Ethan took out his phone and redialed Alice’s number, but her phone was still off. “Where can I find
her? Tell me.” He gripped his phone and looked at Rosy. “Tell me, Mom. Where can I find her? Did she leave any other contact
before she left?”
She was startled and slowly shook her head. “No.” She and Alice had an unpleasant conversation before she left because Alice
refused to take her or Ethan’s money.
A glint suddenly flashed across his eyes, prompting him to ask, “Why all of a sudden, Mom?”

When the guilty Rosy met with Ethan’s gaze, she replied faintly, “She... She told me that Coraline had already gotten used to us,
so she left.”
“I’m married to her, Mom. We have a marriage certificate. She’s my wife, so why would she leave? Even then, we’re still legally
married. Why would she leave like this?” As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and examined her. He could tell she was hiding
something from him but could not pinpoint it.
“She just said she’s leaving. As for the rest-” Her voice gradually lowered, and she did not dare look at Ethan.
Before she could finish her words, he cut her off. “I want the truth, Mom.” He wanted to know what was going on.
Her body visibly tensed up before she lowered her head and remained silent.
However, Ethan did not give up just because of her silent resistance. “Are you still going to hide it from me, Mom? Will you talk to
me, or will I have to find the truth myself?”
It was only then that Rosy quickly raised her head at him. She knew what he was capable of. If she allowed him to investigate
things, he would discover the truth sooner or later. Thus, after a moment of hesitation, she decided to be discreet about it. “That’s
what we had agreed on.”
“What do you mean?” He frowned, confused by her words. Or, he might have known what she was talking about, but he refused
to accept the truth.
As he slowly closed in on her, she could not handle the pressure anymore and confessed, “We had an agreement that she would
leave the Knight Family after Caroline had gotten used to us.”
Instantaneously, Ethan froze on the spot. His expression changed drastically, and his voice was dangerously low. “Who? Who
said it?” His eyes widened at her. At the same time, Caroline, who had followed him down the stairs, was also staring at Rosy.
With all the pressure, she could not help but tell the truth softly, “It’s me. I was the one who said it.”
