Chapter 190 Appeasing Mr. Knight However, it sounded like Ethanâs anger hadnât subsided at all. Instead, he sounded even more agitated. Could it be that Miss Thelva didnât go back?
âWherever you are, come back within an hour,â Ethan ordered harshly without waiting for her to finish speaking. He didnât want to listen to her anymore as her words would only make him angrier.
As soon as the call ended, Alice glanced at the phone and then at Apollo, who was sleeping beside her as she rarely had the chance to keep the little guy company. Her eyes flickered as she wondered whether Lorien had really left, which was why Ethan was so furious. If Miss Thelva did leave, wouldnât I be digging my own grave if I go back now?
After thinking it through, Alice thought that she should first give Lorien a call to confirm. In order to not wake Apollo up, she took the phone and headed to the balcony before dialing Lorienâs number.
When Lorien saw Aliceâs number on the phone, she couldnât help but smile. Instead of answering the call, she looked at Ethan and said, âAlice is calling me. What do you think sheâll say?â
Ethanâs gaze turned cold, and his expression became grave, making him look particularly terrifying. He had called Alice and told her to come back, but she was calling someone else. What is she up to?
On the other hand, Lorien beamed when she saw Ethanâs ghastly expression. She pressed the answer button and even put it on speaker.
âMiss Thelva, where are you? Didnât you return to Lule Villa?â Alice asked without beating around the bush.
âIâm here.â Lorien glanced at Ethan, who was standing beside her, and she couldnât help but curl up her lips.
âThen why did Mr. Knight call me just now? He was still furious.â Alice was taken aback. Since Lorien was still at the villa, she couldnât understand why he was so worked up.
Mr. Knight? Hearing Aliceâs address, Ethan couldnât help falling into deep thoughts. How eager is she to disassociate herself from me?
âI wasnât able to appease him.â Lorienâs words intentionally hinted at something.
âHow could that be? If you canât appease him, then no one can.â Alice was stunned, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Lorienâs words. Indeed, Alice was dull when it came to matters of the heart.
âI have already tried my best, so what else should I do?â Lorien looked at Ethan again and deliberately asked.
âAs long as you are there, everything will be fine.â Alice felt that Lorienâs words were rather blunt, so she didnât continue with the conversation. After all, it wasnât something she could participate in since it wasnât a matter involving her.
The reason she didnât go back was to avoid the embarrassment that happened earlier in the morning. After all, her presence was inappropriate in that situation. She couldnât understand why Ethan was infuriated when she was being thoughtful?! Ethanâs expression turned grim as he listened. If Alice stood in front of him right now, he would have strangled her without hesitation.
With that, Alice hung up the phone directly. She felt that everything should be fine since Lorien was in the villa. If that was the case, she didnât need to go back. Moreover, she couldnât go back as she had to accompany Apollo.
Lorien blinked her eyes as she found her sister-in-law adorable. She was growing to like her more and more.
âHahaha!â Lorien couldnât help but burst into laughter when Alice hung up the call again. Meanwhile, Ethanâs face was clouded over. He couldnât believe that Alice left him with another woman just like that. Doesnât she understand that she is my lawfully wedded wife?!
âEthan, since youâre so enraged, you should go to Alice so that you can calm down.â Lorien looked at Ethan with a smirk and deliberately teased him. The reason she didnât leave was to add fuel to the fire for Ethan. Seeing that they still slept in separate rooms even though they were married, if he didnât forcefully assert his dominance, with Aliceâs level of awareness, who knew how long it would take for things to change?
Hearing that, Ethan glared at Lorien, and she stuck out her tongue before quickly returning to her room.
Alice thought everything should be fine, so she went to take a shower after hanging up the phone. However, her phone rang again while she was in the bathroom. Previously, Alice didnât want to disturb Apolloâs sleep, so she turned down the volume of her phone. With her being in the shower, the ringtone was drowned out by the sound of flowing water, so she didnât hear the phone ringing again.
Apollo, who wasnât in a deep sleep, was awakened upon hearing the phone ring. After opening his eyes, he blinked a few times before answering the call.
âAlice, you sure are something.â The moment the call connected, Ethanâs chilling voice, which was full of murderous intent, could be heard. As Apollo listened to Ethanâs threatening tone, he was slightly stunned. Who is this? Why is he so fierce? How dare he speak to Mommy like that?
âAlice, if I donât see you at home in an hour, you will be responsible for the consequences.â Ethan threatened her without waiting for her to respond, as he didnât want to hear her speak. This angry man sounds a lot like Ethan. After a brief contemplation, Apollo turned off Aliceâs phone. Whoâs Ethan to be so rude to my mother? He had gone overboard.
Ethan was stunned for two seconds when the call was disconnected. His blood boiled as he never expected Alice to hang up his call. He took a deep breath and dialed again. Sorry, the number youâve dialed is currently switched off.
At that moment, Ethan had the urge to kill. Not only did she hang up his call, but she also turned it off. Great. Ethanâs face grew darker and his gaze colder when he couldnât get through to Aliceâs phone, as he didnât know where to find her since he couldnât get her on the phone. He had Caleb check on her, but till now, Caleb still hadnât found out where she was staying.
The next morning, when Alice woke up, she reached for her phone and found it had been turned off. She thought it had run out of battery, but when she pressed the power button, it turned on and showed that the battery was still at 50%. However, she didnât give much thought to it. Just then, Apollo woke up, so she casually placed her phone aside and went to make breakfast for him, which was why she didnât see the missed call from the last night that Apollo hung up on.
She thought everything was okay. Yesterday, she went back to get something, but after what happened, she climbed out of the window in a hurry and forgot about everything else.
