“Oh, my. You have such a sweet mouth!” Britney burst into laughter, her previously composed face lighting up with joyful wrinkles.

Although Britney initially felt uneasy, Caroline’s sweet words quickly dispelled her discomfort. She even went to the kitchen to assist Alice.

Caroline watched from the side and grinned like a Cheshire cat.

Alice realized she shouldn’t rush Caroline’s rate of adapting to living in the Knight Residence and decided to spend more time with her. Thus, she stayed and accompanied Caroline over the next few days.

As Caroline insisted on sleeping with Alice at night, they shared a bed.

On the third night of Alice’s stay in the Knight Residence, Ethan returned home late at around 10.00PM. As he made his way to the second floor, he heard voices coming from the second room.

The soft, childish voice was unmistakably Caroline’s.

He stopped outside the room and was about to knock on the door when he overheard Caroline asking, “Mommy, isn’t Daddy stronger than Bruce Yeager?”

The hand that had wanted to knock on the door hung in mid-air as he subconsciously straightened his posture since he wanted to hear Alice’s answer to the question.

Alice paused for a moment upon hearing Caroline’s question. “Sweetie, there’s no comparison between them.”

As Bruce was a sc*mbag, she believed there was no comparison between him and Ethan, who was vastly superior. It would be an insult to Ethan to compare him with Bruce.

Outside the room, Ethan’s eyes narrowed. No comparison? Does she seriously think I can’t even measure up to Bruce?
