Moreover, it was the first time he had seen Ethan waiting for a woman to finish her meal. He had even waited for
more than an hour.
He even saw him quarreling with a woman for the first time. Bradley felt that what happened between Ethan and
Alice last night could be counted as a quarrel.
Ethan was usually very reserved with other women. He hardly spoke to them, let alone argued with them.
Now, Alice had become his wife. She was now Mrs. Knight in the Knight Family, regardless of why Ethan married
her. It was an undeniable fact that no one could ignore.
After the excitement of last night, Caroline was a little nervous and worried at the moment.
She had always been fearless, but she felt a little restrained today, especially when she walked past the gate of the
Knight Family. She held Alice’s hand tightly and stopped walking.
“Sweetie, don’t worry. You have Daddy, Grandpa, and Grandma here. They are your relatives. They all love you
very much.” Alice squatted in front of her, held her gently, and comforted her. No matter how clever Caroline was,
she was still a child who hadn’t reached five years old.
Such a small child would have been afraid if she was suddenly required to live in a strange environment, much less
having to live in a family like the Knights.
At this moment, Lawrence and Britney had come out to greet them. The two happened to hear Alice comforting
Caroline with those words.
Britney’s eyes flickered as she was a bit surprised.
“Alice, Caroline, come on in.” Lawrence walked forward with a smile, greeting them in a particularly natural and
friendly tone. It seemed like there was no hint of any intentional effort.
This was the first time Alice witnessed the charm of the legendary Lawrence Knight up close. Her first impression
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas that he was amiable and approachable, which was completely different from the cold-hearted and sharp-
tongued Ethan.
“Alice, Caroline, this is your home from now on. Welcome home.” Lawrence even bent slightly and made a
welcoming gesture. He had a relaxed and warm smile on his face.
Wow. Alice suddenly felt like she had become a fan of Lawrence in an instant. He is so friendly. Look at how caring
and warm he is.
He couldn’t compare with the sharp-tongued Ethan.
Indeed, when it came to the comparison, there was no competition. Lawrence had the upper hand! This was
undeniable!
Meanwhile, Ethan suddenly sneezed while carrying out his task.
Seeing that Caroline had finally relaxed, Lawrence crouched beside her. The girl hugged him with a smile and
greeted him, “Grandpa.”
He was still smiling, but his eyes became moist when he hugged her.
Alice stood aside and watched, her eyes slightly glistening with tears.
“Caroline, can Grandma hold you? Is that okay?” Britney cautiously stepped forward in a mixture of emotions that
ranged from nervousness to excitement and then apprehension.
She was afraid the child would treat her as a stranger and refuse to get close to her.
“Yes, Grandma can hold me.” Caroline immediately opened her arms with an innocent and bright smile.
Britney finally let out a sigh of relief. She brought the little girl into her arms and held her tightly. This is Christine’s
child. She’s finally come back to us!
Christine was gone, and the only thing left of her was this child. This pitiful child.
Looking at the scene before her, Alice was reminded of her parents, the tears in her eyes blurring her vision.
“Okay, let’s all go inside now.” Lawrence suddenly spoke up.
Alice almost shed tears, but she held them back.
The Knight Family’s mansion was huge and luxurious. Caroline quickly became happy and excited; she was no
longer as reserved as when she had just arrived.
She had always been sociable, so it didn’t take long for her to become familiar with the two elderly members of the
Knight Family.
“Your father is away on a business trip. He will only be back in a few days. By then, you’ll be able to see him,”
Britney explained to Caroline patiently when the little girl asked about her father.
Watching this scene, Alice suddenly felt relieved. In the Knight Family, Caroline would have a father, grandfather,
grandmother, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother staying by her side.
The Knight Family could give her a complete home and lots of love, whereas Alice could only give Caroline very
little. She couldn’t even provide her with a complete home. Sending Caroline back to the Knight Family was the
right decision.
Lawrence didn’t go to the company. Instead, he stayed home to accompany Caroline.
However, in the late afternoon, he received a phone call and had to leave because of the seemingly urgent call.
Caroline had played all day and was tired, so she went to bed.
“Come with me,” Britney called out to Alice with a grim expression. Alice felt a little uneasy as she followed her to
the study.
“Here is an agreement. Sign it.” Britney put the agreement on the table and continued, “T-This is also Ethan’s idea.”
This was the first time she did something like this. She wasn’t good at lying, so she stammered a bit when she said it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas Ethan’s idea.
She initially wanted to discuss this matter with her son in the morning, but Ethan had left before she could even
catch him. She didn’t have time to discuss it, so she wrote the agreement herself since that was her idea.
Alice was stunned for a moment. She reached out to take the agreement Britney placed on the table and then
looked at it.
The more she looked at it, the more delighted she became. Yes, she was overjoyed!
When she looked at Britney again, she felt that the woman before her had suddenly become kind, gentle, and
considerate.
She’s truly a saint! She has given me a solution to my problem.
At this moment, in the eyes of Alice, Britney was the Good Samaritan who saved the suffering and helped those in
need.
After Alice went back last night, she thought a lot about it. Caroline is still young. I’m worried about leaving her
alone with the Knights. I should probably accompany her for some time to let her gradually adapt. Once she has
settled down, I will leave the family. By then, Ethan shall have no reason to stop me.
With that in mind, she had planned to meet Ethan today and set a deadline for her departure, preferably by signing
a contract or something. However, Ethan was on a business trip today. She didn’t know when he would be back and
was a little worried. Now, Britney had fully resolved all her worries and concerns.
Just now, Mrs. Knight mentioned that this is Ethan’s idea. Even though he is on a business trip, he has arranged
everything beforehand, huh? Alice thought to herself.
On this matter, she reckoned Ethan was quite reliable. He had arranged everything according to her wishes, and
she was rejoiced by it.
Britney had listed a lot of items on her agreement, and some of the terms strongly resonated with Alice. It appears
that Mr. Knight shares the same way of thought as me. That’s great news!
