Why is she so different from others?

Alice’s light smile faded as she looked at Ethan. “Mr. Knight, are we still talking?” she asked, unsure what was going through his mind.

I would probably pass out from anger if we kept talking. The nerve of her to say that I am infuriating to deal with. The same goes for her, too, Ethan thought.

He had been silent all along, and Alice took that as a cue to return to her room. “Since you have nothing to talk about, I will go back to my room and sleep,” she said, preparing to leave.

As she reached out to open Caroline’s room door, Ethan stopped her. “Isn’t it time to go back to your room to sleep? Is this your room?” he asked, blocking her from opening the door.

This was obviously Caroline’s room, not her room.

They were married and had a marriage certificate, so they should be sleeping in the same room.

“This is Caroline’s room. Mrs. Knight arranged my room across from here to take care of Caroline. However, she hasn’t fully adapted in these few days and needs me to accompany her,” Alice explained truthfully, not knowing what Ethan was thinking.

However, Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Wait, the room across from here? That’s supposed to be the guest room, isn’t it? How could that be her room?

“Let me remind you that we are married and have a marriage certificate. As the Young Madam of the Knight Family, you should sleep in the master bedroom,” he said firmly. He felt that he had already made his statement very clear.

Alice looked at him with surprise and disbelief. “If I sleep in the master bedroom, where will you sleep? I’m just here to accompany Caroline, and it’s not appropriate for me to take your room,” she countered, clearly indicating her confusion and hesitation.

Ethan was at a loss for words. Didn’t I just make it clear that we should sleep in the master bedroom together as a married couple? What does she mean by saying that she’s here to accompany Caroline? She’s my wife now! Shouldn’t she be accompanying me instead?
