Chapter 177 Divorce (2)

“Are you saying that I’m oppressing him?” Ethan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Caleb.

Which sentence I said implied that? Caleb was dumbfounded. “Well, if that’s considered oppression, everyone would want to be oppressed…” This was his real thought. I seem to have let Mr. Knight use his power to oppress

me too.

Suddenly, a stony gaze swept over him, and he immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Alice was in the Knight Residence. She walked over to Caroline, who was playing with toys, and decided to talk seriously with her. “Caroline, can I talk to you for a second?”

“What do you want to talk to me about, Mommy?” Caroline quickly looked up at her. Yet, her shining black eyes were filled with nervousness and concern.

Seeing Caroline like this, Alice felt her heart wrench and was reluctant, but she still had to talk to her. After all, she couldn’t stay in the Knight Residence with Caroline forever. She would eventually have to leave. Right now, she was just leaving a little earlier.

In fact, it was best for her to leave now since Caroline had already completely adapted to life in the Knight Residence. If she continued to stay, it would only make Caroline develop a habit and dependence on the current situation. On top of that, what she was about to do next would be dangerous, and she didn’t want Caroline to be affected in any way.

“Caroline is a big girl now. So, we need to talk…” She didn’t hug Caroline as she usually did but sat across from her, maintaining eye contact. It was a sign that this conversation was going to be a calm discussion, not a mother demanding something from her child.

“I’m not a big girl. I don’t want to be a big girl.” Caroline, who was usually sensible, immediately resorted to being stubborn. “I’m still little. I’m still a baby, Mommy. Caroline is still a baby.” She stood up and jumped into Alice’s lap, trying her best to gesture. “Caroline is so small and short.”

How am I supposed to continue this conversation? “Caroline, I…” She gritted her

neck right away. “I will listen to everything you say. Please don’t leave me, Mommy.” After thinking for a moment, she added, “I can also make Daddy listen to everything you say. Can you not leave, Mommy?”
