However, Caroline was very much unlike her usual self and wouldn’t listen to reason. Before Alice could finish, she shouted, “I don’t care. I’m going with you no matter where you go. Daddy said he’s going to play with me today, so he must come too.”

“Yeah, he said he’s staying with you. If you throw a tantrum, he’ll be sad.” Alice looked at Ethan and gritted her teeth. You’re not staying out of this. I’m going to drag you into this.

“If he comes with us, I won’t be ditching him, then. We’ll be together.” Daddy obviously won’t be sad.

Lawrence looked at his son. He seemed to be oblivious about the matter, but then he noticed Ethan wasn’t even scrolling through his phone. I guess I have to step in. “You’re meeting a friend? I guess taking your family along won’t matter. Just take them with you, Alice.”

Alice froze and stared at Lawrence in shock. Why did he agree to this? If we go out together, people might find out we’re married.

“The media has its eyes on us. If I take Caroline with me, it might pose some trouble for her.” She didn’t bring Ethan up, but anyone could see what she was implying. If the media knew who Caroline really was, they would figure out who Ethan was as well.

Ethan finally looked up at her. She’s worried we might be exposed? Or is she just scared of me? Am I that much of an embarrassment to her?

The look on Rosy’s face changed. “Why don’t you reschedule, Alice? Stay at home with Caroline.” Rosy didn’t want Alice to get along with her son too much, but she would rather Alice stay home than get exposed. I cannot let anyone find out she’s married to Ethan.
