Was she looking for someone better? How could anyone be better than him?!
Cecilia’s phone rang out of the blue. She took it out and smiled when she saw the caller. ”Enough choosing. Alice’s
favorite person is calling.”
At the time, Ethan was standing right outside the door, so he accidentally heard her words.
Alice? Her favorite?
Ethan could tell that Alice didn’t love Bruce, so he had never paid any attention to Bruce.
Ethan thought of the call Alice had when she was in the hotel. Her gentleness when she spoke to the other party
and her never-ending praises…
His eyes slowly glazed over with anger.
He had a hunch that the call was from that person.
That person wasn’t Bruce. Even if he had never met that person, he knew they were important to her. Someone
that he couldn’t compare to!
”Huh?” Lydia was stunned for a second before smiling once she saw that it was Apollo calling. ”It really is him. How
can we forget? This is Alice’s one true love. No one can take his place in her heart. No man outside can compare to
him. It’ll be humiliating if they even try.”
Outside the room, every word Lydia said was heard by Ethan, and his expression grew colder and colder.
Then at that moment, Ethan finally realized they were talking about a man!
”Why did he call you? Why didn’t he call me? Is it for Alice?” Lydia asked with a little jealousy.
”Of course. Why would he call me if he’s fine? Don’t even think about it. Only Alice has such an honor,” Cecilia
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcomplained, wrinkles appearing on her face. Apollo had always been arrogant and aloof.
He wouldn’t talk to anyone randomly except for Alice!
”Didn’t you say that your phone was dead? Contacting you will be impossible, so he called me instead.” Cecilia
handed the phone to Alice quickly. ”Go on, pick it up yourself.”
Alice answered the phone with a smile, ”Hello…?”
The moment Alice spoke, her voice softened immediately, the kind of tenderness Ethan had described.
In that split second, Ethan had an answer. The person who called her was the same person who spoke to her at the
hotel!
It was the same man!
Ethan moved away from the door and leaned against the wall. There was a mirthless smile playing on his lips.
He took out a cigarette but didn’t light it. He held it between his fingers as he listened to the conversation in the
room.
”Mom, how’s everything?” Apollo didn’t even bother waiting for Alice as he asked hurriedly, clearly worried about
his mother.
”Well. It went well.” Alice felt warmth in her heart. As a result, her voice turned even more tender. Her baby Apollo
was really a soothing balm to her soul.
Although Apollo was young, he was smart and talented. Two years ago, Apollo mentioned that he shouldn’t be
excluded from family affairs no matter his age since he was also a member of the Woland Family.
So, Alice didn’t even think about hiding anything from Apollo. ”I don’t think that Charles is related to my father, so I
took a blood sample for a paternity test. I think the results will be out soon.”
Ethan listened carefully to Alice’s voice and words, and the smile on his lips grew.
Whenever he was involved, she would do everything to hide her affairs. She avoided him and never told him a
single thing about her.
However, she would tell this other person everything without prompting.
This person was more important to her than he was?
She trusted this person on the other side of the phone more than him?
She relied on this person more than him?
From the conversation between Cecilia and Lydia, it wasn’t difficult for him to guess that the person was a man.
No wonder she could say those things with such certainty. This was why she could declare that she wouldn’t fall in
love with him no matter what.
Ethan straightened himself and walked away from the private room.
He felt that if he continued to eavesdrop, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t do anything.
He just wanted to find out who that man was who talked to her then and now…
Ethan burst out laughing. He sounded insane. Even if he found the other man, what would he do?
Beat up that guy? Then what?
He couldn’t even think about that since Alice would definitely take the other man’s side without hesitation.
”Mr. Knight.” Caleb, who was waiting in the lobby, was a little surprised when he saw Ethan coming down. ”Mister…”
He was about to ask Ethan why Alice didn’t come down with him, but as soon as he spoke, he noticed that Ethan’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpression wasn’t right.
No, something was very wrong.
He had been with Ethan for so many years. This was the first time he had ever seen Ethan like this.
Caleb couldn’t think of any words to describe Ethan’s expression.
He felt like something serious had happened and knew that it had to be related to Alice!
Did Ethan argue with Alice?
However, with how he got along with Miss Woland, it didn’t seem like they would ever quarrel.
Caleb suddenly felt like he didn’t know anything about Alice. She usually seemed quiet and wasn’t a talker, but she
was very assertive and confident with her words.
He felt that if Ethan had offended her, it would be impossible for her to argue with him. Instead, she would most
likely just kick him out.
Caleb froze, shocked by the thoughts in his mind. Yet, now that he thought about it, it seemed possible as well.
She couldn’t have kicked Ethan out, right?!
No way.
Could she?
Although this type of thing shouldn’t happen to Ethan, if the other person were Alice, Caleb felt like it would be
possible.
Caleb looked at Ethan carefully, and after observing for a while, he felt that the possibility of what he thought of
wasn’t low.
These days, Caleb could tell that Alice was shutting Ethan out. She didn’t even tell him what she was up to.
Alice had never considered relying on Ethan at all.
So, this meant that she didn’t care about him, and she didn’t like to see him around.
Of course, Caleb could only think about these thoughts in his heart and didn’t dare to say these things aloud.
