Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 205 Ethan Seeks Alice (5)
Never mind, I’ve given up. I just hope that my great-grandson won’t be too dumb. If he turns out to be really dumb, he can join
the military and rely on physical strength since he lacks intelligence. What else can be done? “Never mind, I’ve given up. Holland
sighed, realizing that this time he was destined to lose to James.
“You may look down on my mommy, but she looks down on all of you too.” Caroline pouted angrily.
“Hey, can’t I speak the truth?” When he saw her pouty expression, he wanted to laugh but managed to hold back his laughter. He
didn’t want her to be as polite and respectful toward him as before; he preferred her current attitude toward him. So, he
intentionally teased her, although deep down he truly felt this
way.
“No, you can’t say anything bad about Mommy.” Suddenly, she had a lightbulb moment. “If you promise not to say anything bad
about Mommy from now on, I will consider liking you.” She realized that she didn’t dislike her great-grandfather too much. I can
try to like him for the sake of Mommy.
A noticeable smile played on his lips as he readily agreed. “Okay. I promise you.”
In fact, Holland had only criticized Alice that night, and it happened to be overheard by Alice herself. After that, he never said
anything like that again. Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied deep down, he still restrained himself most of the time.
At this moment, Marie heaved a sigh of relief. Naturally, she knew what Holland was thinking, so she didn’t intervene and let the
two of them banter. Sometimes, such banter was more likely to foster affection.
In the past few days, they had been overly cautious with Caroline, while Caroline had always been polite toward them. However,
something seemed to be missing in their interactions. Now, it was much better.
“Caroline, would you like to go upstairs and play with me for a while?” Marie eagerly desired to have a closer relationship with
Caroline, but Caroline hadn’t shown much affection toward them earlier. Today, when they were about to leave, they had wanted
to invite Caroline along, but she had refused. “I promise never to let Great-Grandpa say anything bad about your mom again.”
She was a smart woman and had already grasped Caroline’s intentions.
As Caroline looked at Marie, she blinked and then lowered her voice slightly as she negotiated, “Can he praise Mommy then?”

“Hey, aren’t you asking for too much now? What is there to praise about her? Why don’t you start by telling me what there is to
praise about her?” Holland couldn’t hold back and retorted directly.
At his words, Caroline’s little face instantly fell, and when she looked at him, her eyes revealed anger and a sense of grievance.
Meanwhile, Marie glared at Holland. “Can’t you speak nicely?”
“Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll praise her. Okay?” Holland gritted his teeth.
Caroline was obviously pushing her luck. “Go on.”

Holland was taken aback. “This is quite a chall-” When he saw the looks from both Caroline and Marie, he swallowed the rest of
his sentence.
With a helpless look, he pondered for a while and reluctantly said, “Alice has good manners, and she has done a great job
raising her child.”
“Okay, I’ll let you pass.” Caroline was finally somewhat satisfied and continued to negotiate. “If you praise Mommy once every
day, I’ll like you a little more every day.”
Shock, he exclaimed, “That would cost me my life. But didn’t you say she wouldn’t come back to us anymore, and that she
wouldn’t come back even when your dad went to find her? So, what’s the use of my compliments?” He found her request to be
quite extraordinary.
She simply replied, “I’m happy when I hear you complimenting Mommy.” Then, she added seriously, “I’m very happy when
Mommy compliments me every day, but when I hear someone else complimenting her, I’m happier.”
“Well, apart from everything else, Alice did raise her child well.” Holland was straightforward and spoke his mind. I admit this
point about Alice, but it’s a pity that if her child turns out to be dim- witted and inherits her intelligence, it may not help no matter
how much we teach him or her.
“Come on, Caroline. Let’s go upstairs and leave your dad alone. Let him go find your mom.” Marie beckoned to Caroline.
This time, Caroline didn’t refuse and followed Marie upstairs. She even affectionately held Marie’s hand and assumed a posture
of supporting her. She was indeed very considerate and thoughtful.

In the first-floor hall, Britney couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy when she saw that. It had been several months since
Caroline returned to the Knight Residence, and she had spen quite a few months with her. Yet, Caroline had never been so
intimate with her before. She hadn’t even gone to her room with her.
At this moment, Ethan didn’t pay much attention to these at all, as he was currently contacting people to find his wife.
When he learned that Alice had left, he immediately sent a text to Caleb, asking him to find Alice. Not much time had passed
since then, but he had already urged Caleb twice.
He was usually very concise with his words. His first message was ‘Find out where Alice is, and the following two messages
were just two question marks.
Caleb had worked for Ethan for quite some time, so even though Ethan only sent two question marks, he was certain of what
Ethan meant. Isn’t he pressing too urgently this time? It has only been half an hour. That’s not enough time to find Mrs. Knight.
Last time, we searched for two days without any success. I hope that this time won’t be like the previous one.
Since Ethan was urging him, he didn’t dare delay. He immediately mobilized everyone he could to find Alice.
“We’re looking for Mrs. Knight again? What’s going on? Did she go missing again?” Sam was confused when he received the
task. What is going on with Mr. Knight? Why is he looking for Mrs. Knight so often?
“I’m not quite sure what’s going on either. Mr. Knight just returned from a mission, and ast soon as I brought him back, he sent
me a text asking me to find Mrs. Knight. It has only been. half an hour, but he has already urged me twice,” Caleb expressed
how he was in a difficult situation as well.
“I hope it’s not like last time,” Sam said, feeling somewhat scared as he recalled the previous incident. It was truly terrifying. We
searched for Mrs. Knight for two days but to no avail. She seemed to have vanished into thin air, and then she reappeared on
her own. “Why don’t we ask Mr. Knight to wait a little longer? Perhaps Mrs. Knight will show up on her own,” he said half-jokingly.
