Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

“What’s with that look, Alice?” Ethan’s brows creased slightly. Does she have to be this frightened that I’m coming along to Old Mr. Woland’s birthday banquet? Am I embarrassing? Or am I that scary?

“D-Don’t! You don’t have to. I’ll tell Mr. Knight about it.” Alice thought his decision was a force of Lawrence’s suggestion. “You can stay home and keep Caroline company. You’ll get along just fine.” She quickly left, depriving his chance of rebutting.

Stuffiness overwhelmed Ethan because he woke up early in the morning and spent a few hours grooming himself. Yet, she barely looked at him. What was the use of taking the initiative to join the banquet only to be refused without hesitation?

“I don’t mind that she’s not bringing me home, but you too? We’re in the same boat. No one cares nor loves us.” While holding a toy, Caroline sighed and cast a sympathetic look at Ethan. The little girl did not forget to rub salt in his wound. “I know Mom’s not gonna bring me, so I didn’t ask. I would’ve ended up like you anyway.”

“Why are you here? Didn’t you go with Alice?” There came another blow from Lawrence, who headed downstairs. At that moment, Ethan thought he could cough up a river of blood from the stifling frustration.

“Dad, cheer up. Think about it. If Mom’s not bringing me, why would she bring you along?” Caroline had a great talent for comforting one’s feelings.

Was Ethan sad? Yes, he very much was.

“Alice’s not bringing you along, but what are you standing here for?” Lawrence could not believe how dunce his son was. Will Alice kick his butt if he insists on tagging along?

“I’m staying home, keeping Caroline company.” That was a sulky statement at the spur of the moment. He was doing as Alice told him to.

“I heard rumors about Alice. They’re waiting for the opportunity to make a clown out of her. Will you let her walk into the trap by sending her off alone?” Lawrence sighed loudly. “Are you going to let your wife get humiliated?”

Ethan slightly straightened his body. He knew that Alice was not someone to yield to bullies.
