“Huh? No way? Did Alice actually set her sights on someone?” Upstairs, Irvin glanced at Ethan and grinned like the cat that got the cream.

Ethan looked at Alice while something briefly flashed across his narrowed eyes.

Although they had not spent much time together since getting married, he had come to know her well and was aware that she always acted sensibly.

“Is that so? Well, would you like to share with us which one caught your interest?” Amelia was secretly pleased and convinced that Alice had fallen right into her trap. Nevertheless, Amelia kept a kind smile to conceal her true intentions.

“I believe all the gentlemen present here are exceptional individuals.” Alice looked at Amelia and blinked with a serious expression. “Don’t you agree, Aunt Amelia?”

“That’s a rather disappointing response.” Upstairs, Irvin raised his eyebrow as he was expecting more drama. “I thought she was interested in that young master, but her answer is vague and unremarkable.”

Ethan’s lips curved slightly. If one looked closely, one would notice a hint of pleasure in his expression.

Unremarkable? How could it be unremarkable? He knew Alice well enough that she wouldn’t speak without purpose, especially in a situation like this. So, he suspected that she had something more to say.

“You’re right, Alice.” Amelia’s smile appeared somewhat forced as she did not anticipate such an answer from her.

Alice flashed a brilliant smile at Amelia and added intentionally, “Otherwise, how could Emma be friends with every one of them?”

“Pfft, that’s some ruthless remark.” Instantly, Irvin burst out laughing from upstairs. As he originally thought Alice’s response was uninteresting, he did not expect that there would be a twist to the situation.

Ethan’s eyes also lit up with a smile. Yes, that’s definitely Little Fox’s style!
