Ethan couldn’t help chuckling at those words, then he tickled Caroline’s nose lightly with his finger. “You’re such a trickster.”

“Of course. I’ve been so worried about the two of you. Daddy, you really should work harder in the future. It’s obvious that Mommy only married you for my sake. At this rate, it’s really hard to say whether you can keep your wife by your side,” Caroline spoke bluntly.

His heart clenched in pain when he heard those words. This little girl sure does not forget to stab me in the heart whenever she gets the chance.

“Daddy, are you heading to Cliaria? Can I go with you? I want to be with Mommy. Besides, I miss Uncle Pierce.” She was very reluctant to be separated from her mother.

“Wait for me at home. I promise that I will definitely bring Mommy home.” He had no idea why Alice had gone to Cliaria, he was worried that bringing Caroline along might cause some inconvenience.

Needless to say, the most important reason was that he wanted to have some alone time with his wife. He did not want to bring along a third wheel that could hinder their time together. It was only recently that he realized how they barely spent any alone time together even though they had been married for so long.

Caroline was clearly dissatisfied with his answer. Nevertheless, she was a sensible and well-behaved child. She knew that she should not cause more trouble for her parents when they were busy with work. “Alright then, I’ll wait for you and Mommy to come home.”

Afterward, Ethan made a few calls and arranged for a private jet to be prepared for his use. Thanks to his special status, it was very convenient for him to schedule a private jet at any time.

Then, he instructed Caleb to check the details of Alice’s flight. If she was currently waiting for her flight, then he could bring her to Cliaria by private jet. On the other hand, if she had already boarded the plane, then he could quickly and easily find her when he arrived at Cliaria as long as he knew the details of the flight she was taking.

Caleb’s work efficiency was very high, so it did not take long for him to return Ethan’s phone call. “Mr. Knight, there is no record of Young Madam Knight heading to Cliaria. I even checked all the flights available, but I did not find any record of her leaving the country. There are no records indicating that she booked a flight ticket either.”

Ethan frowned slightly when he received the report and turned to look at Caroline. “Caroline, are you sure Mommy went to Cliaria??”

Caroline blinked quickly. “I guessed.”
