Chapter 146
Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Was she looking for someone better? How could anyone be better than him?!
Ceciliaâs phone rang out of the blue. She took it out and smiled when she saw the caller. âEnough
choosing. Aliceâs favorite person is calling.â
At the time, Ethan was standing right outside the door, so he accidentally heard her words.
Alice? Her favorite?
Ethan could tell that Alice didnât 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 praisesâ¦
His eyes slowly glazed over with anger.
He had a hunch that the call was from that person.
That person wasnât Bruce. Even if he had never met that person, he knew they were important to her.
Someone that he couldnât compare to!
âHuh?â Lydia was stunned for a second before smiling once she saw that it was Apollo calling. âIt really
is him. How can we forget? This is Aliceâs one true love. No one can take his place in her heart. No
man outside can compare to him. Itâll be humiliating if they even try.â
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!
âWhy did he call you? Why didnât he call me? Is it for Alice?â Lydia asked with a little jealousy.
âOf course. Why would he call me if heâs fine? Donât even think about it. Only Alice has such an honor,â
Cecilia complained, wrinkles appearing on her face. Apollo had always been arrogant and aloof.
He wouldnât talk to anyone randomly except for Alice!
âDidnât you say that your phone was dead? Contacting you will be impossible, so he called me instead.â
Cecilia handed the phone to Alice quickly. âGo on, pick it up yourself.â
Alice answered the phone with a smile, âHelloâ¦?â
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 didnât light it. He held it between his fingers as he listened to the
conversation in the room.
âMom, howâs everything?â Apollo didnât even bother waiting for Alice as he asked hurriedly, clearly
worried about his mother.
âWell. It went well.â 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
shouldnât be excluded from family affairs no matter his age since he was also a member of the Woland
Family.
So, Alice didnât even think about hiding anything from Apollo. âI donât 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.â
Ethan listened carefully to Aliceâs 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 wasnât 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
wouldnât 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 couldnât guarantee that he wouldnât do anything.
He just wanted to find out who that man was who talked to her then and nowâ¦
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 couldnât even think about that since Alice would definitely take the other manâs side without
hesitation.
âMr. Knight.â Caleb, who was waiting in the lobby, was a little surprised when he saw Ethan coming
down. âMisterâ¦â
He was about to ask Ethan why Alice didnât come down with him, but as soon as he spoke, he noticed
that Ethanâs expression wasnât 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 couldnât think of any words to describe Ethanâs 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 didnât seem like they would ever quarrel.
Caleb suddenly felt like he didnât know anything about Alice. She usually seemed quiet and wasnât 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 couldnât have kicked Ethan out, right?!
No way.
Could she?
Although this type of thing shouldnât 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 wasnât low.
These days, Caleb could tell that Alice was shutting Ethan out. She didnât even tell him what she was
up to.
Alice had never considered relying on Ethan at all.
So, this meant that she didnât care about him, and she didnât like to see him around.
Of course, Caleb could only think about these thoughts in his heart and didnât dare to say these things
aloud.
