Ethan’s Vengeance of Love - Chapter 107
His mind must have short-circuited just now, or how could he misunderstand the situation without
thinking it through?
Moreover, Alice explained the situation to him, so he felt quite satisfied.
Previously, Alice had always avoided him and steered clear of anything relating to him, so she naturally
wouldn’t tell him about her matters.
Now that she was willing to clarify things, did that mean she was starting to take into consideration that
she was his wife?
Meanwhile, Alice thought Ethan had called her several times because he had something urgent, so she
didn’t hang up, but Ethan didn’t talk about anything important or tell her he was on the way back to
Rodcaster.
Also, he didn’t even mention anything about Keith because he needed the element of surprise. Not only
did he need that to deal with Keith, but her as well! Only by taking them by surprise could he win.
When Alice hung up the call, her eyes glistened. Since Ethan knew Keith was at the Woland
Residence, he must know the Rowland Family had come to propose a marriage between their families,
so he must also know Keith had sent her a whole truck of roses but never mentioned it. It seemed like
Ethan was more open-minded and not as petty, overbearing, and unreasonable as she thought he was!
If that were the case, she would feel more relieved.
Turning around, Alice was suddenly met with Keith’s enlarged face and was shocked that she had
taken a few steps back.
“Was it Ethan?” Keith looked at her with a slight smile.
“Yes.” Alice gave it a thought and slowly nodded because she felt there was no need to hide the truth
since Keith had already guessed it.
“What’s your relationship with Ethan?” Keith wanted to know at what point her relationship with Ethan
was because he had heard her explain the matter about washing grapes with Ethan.
Since she had explained the truth to Ethan, it meant they were involved with each other. It was just a
matter of how involved they were.
“We’re married.” This time, Alice basically didn’t hesitate and replied directly.
Her thoughts were that once Keith knew about her relationship with Ethan, they could finally end this
marriage proposal.
Of course, she still remembered that her marriage with Ethan couldn’t be revealed, but she thought
Keith wasn’t a loudmouth, so he wouldn’t deliberately spread it out. Therefore, she wasn’t breaking the
agreement.
Moreover, even if she didn’t tell Keith, he might be able to find out about it later.
“Alice Woland, you can reject me directly if you don’t want to marry me. Why make up such an
outrageous excuse?” Keith was initially taken aback, and then he immediately gave her a death stare.
It’s only a casual question. Why does she have to make up such a lie?!
“Fine. I reject your marriage proposal, but Ethan and I are really married.” Alice’s rejection had
rendered Keith with no room for negotiation.
That was how she was—decisive, straightforward, and disliked dragging things.
Marrying Keith was impossible, and even if he were Apollo’s biological father, Alice still wouldn’t marry
him, so she decisively rejected him.
When they met previously, she was slow to react because she was thinking about the night from seven
years ago.
After giving her a look, Keith smiled and then suddenly yelled in the direction of the hall, “Old Mr.
Woland, Alice says she and Et—”
Shocked, Alice hurriedly stuffed a large grape inside Keith’s mouth, stopping his words.
“What’s the matter with Alice?” Charles only heard half of Keith’s sentence and was curious, so he
looked over.
“I-It’s nothing.” Alice shook her head. The matter between Ethan and her could be revealed to Keith but
not the Woland Family.
The members of the Woland Family were all shameless and greedy. Once they knew she had married
Ethan, they would think of all kinds of ways to take advantage of the Knight Family.
Not to mention Ethan and she were only married by contract. Even if they were married, she couldn’t
let the Wolands shamelessly put their hands on the Knight Family.
Afraid Keith would continue spouting nonsense, Alice didn’t remove her hand after placing the grape
inside Keith’s mouth. Instead, she used her hand to force the grape to stay inside Keith’s mouth.
In the meantime, Keith looked at her with all smiles, indulging her behavior.
“Those two kids…” James looked at the two and smiled.
Charles also stopped asking questions, and Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief before letting go.
“What’s the matter? Why did you stop making up stories?” Keith bit into the grape in his mouth and
chewed carefully, feeling it was exceptionally sweet and refreshing.
Meanwhile, Alice gave him a side eye and said nothing.
Looking at James sitting in the living room, she discovered he had been avoiding the important topics
and seemed to be acting dumb. Since prolonging this matter wasn’t a good idea, Alice decided she
needed to take the initiative.
She walked into the living room and sat directly opposite James.
When Keith noticed her actions, he was slightly surprised and wondered what she was about to do.

James raised an eyebrow, thinking, This little girl finally can’t stand it anymore, but it’s already very
good for young people like her to endure this matter until now.
“Old Mr. Rowland, I heard you enjoy playing chess. How about I play a few rounds with you?” How
could Alice not notice James’ intentions? He was indeed as cunning as a fox.
However, she had her ways of dealing with sly foxes.
On her way to the Woland Residence, she had done some digging into James’ matters.
On the other hand, James was slightly stunned to hear that, and his eyes were filled with slight surprise
as he wondered, Why doesn’t this little girl play by the rules?! Is this a time to talk about chess?
Coming back to his senses, James smiled and asked, “Do you know how to play chess?”
“Yes, I do know a little, but my skills can’t compare with yours, so I would like to ask you to go easy on
me.” Alice playfully stuck out her tongue.
“What are you trying to do?” Keith felt more alert as he felt Alice’s intentions weren’t as simple as
playing a round of chess with his grandfather. However, he couldn’t think of a reason for her to do this.
“Of course, it’s to play a round of chess with Old Mr. Rowland. Why are you so nervous?” Alice looked
at him with a slight, casual smile, giving Keith goosebumps.
In such a situation, Keith couldn’t back down, so he smiled and suddenly approached Alice. “Yes, I am
nervous, but I am nervous for you.”
Keith had reached great heights in sweet talking.
Suzette, who was helping inside the kitchen, saw that scene and quickly took a picture of it with her
phone.
Inside the picture, Alice was sitting on the couch with Keith behind her. He was bent over the couch
with his face close to Alice while she had slightly turned her face to look at him. From the picture, the
two were very close together, and because of the angle, it looked like Keith was kissing Alice’s cheek.
As the picture captured Alice’s cheek without the scar, she looked captivatingly beautiful.
