Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Ethan’s cold eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he wondered, What does she mean by throwing her to the wolves? Wait a minute. Am I the wolf?!

Caroline looked at Alice helplessly, seemingly as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t.

Alice couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Okay, let’s stop talking. Mommy will get you some milk. It’s late, and you need to sleep after drinking it.”

She opened the door and was startled to see someone with sharp features standing in front of her.

After hesitating for a split second, she decisively slammed the door shut.

Yes, she had indeed slammed the door shut.

Outside the room, Ethan quickly took a step back to avoid being hit in the face by the door. He was surprised and a bit incredulous that he had been locked out in such a rough manner.

“Mommy, what’s wrong with you?” Caroline looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“I think I just had a hallucination. I shouldn’t be talking trash about people behind their backs. But seriously, I could have sworn I saw a ghost or something. It freaked me out!”

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The knocking persisted outside the room in a rhythmic pattern.

“Mommy, it seems like what you saw wasn’t just your imagination.” Caroline looked at Alice, then directed her gaze toward the door. The knocking was undeniably real.

Alice also heard the knocking, and it felt like a hammer pounding against her chest.

She had seen Ethan outside and intentionally slammed the door shut, hoping he would leave after that.
