Chapter 63

Sweetie, how did you come up with the number thirty-six? Are you doing this on purpose?! Are you

sure you’re trying to comfort your mommy? Alice couldn’t help but wonder.

“Mommy, who did you sell us to?” Finally, Caroline asked a relatively normal question.

“Ethan Knight of the Knight Family.” Alice’s face turned grim in response to her question, as it should

be.

“Is he related to me?” The little girl blinked her big, bright eyes, looking excited.

Regarding Caroline’s background, Alice didn’t hide it from her, so Caroline knew that her parents were

no longer alive. Being a clever child, she immediately guessed that the Knight Family was biologically

related to her.

“He should be your mother’s brother, so he’s your uncle, in that sense. However, you might have to call

him ‘Daddy’ in the future.” Alice knew Ethan was not Caroline’s biological father, but he went as far as

to marry her just to bring Caroline back to the Knight Family, so he must have planned to take Caroline

back as her father.

There must be a reason for his arrangements, and Alice believed he arranged as such while having

Caroline’s best interest at heart.

She thought of the dangerous people she had encountered when she first picked up Caroline and went

to inquire about the car accident. Those people were definitely not from the Knight Family, so they

should be from Caroline’s biological father’s side.

Those people looked very dangerous.

Caroline was still young and shouldn’t bother herself with too many complicated things. She just had to

focus on being happy and carefree every day, like how she was when she was younger.

She shouldn’t have to bear the pain of growing up so soon.

“Mommy, did you marry Daddy?” Caroline was quick to accept the situation and immediately referred to

Ethan as ‘Daddy.’ She was always clever, and she knew a lot about these things.

Alice pursed her lips and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. It was true that they had gotten

married, but she knew Ethan only did that for Caroline’s sake.

Alice felt that he had made a great sacrifice. Not only was she ‘disfigured,’ but her reputation was also

terrible, especially after her wedding case with the Yeager Family. Yet, Ethan still married her

nonetheless.

She wondered if he ever felt resentful. Even if he did, she believed he wouldn’t have to feel that way for

long. Once Caroline had settled down in the Knight Family and everything else was done and dusted,

Alice would leave.

She was sure that was how things would go eventually. After all, she still had to avenge her parents

and deal with Apollo’s existence. So, she couldn’t be with Ethan.

Of course, even if she didn’t want to leave later, the Knight Family would find a way to chase her out. A

family like the Knights would not allow someone with such a notorious reputation to exist in the family.

“Sweetie, I will accompany you to the Knight Family tomorrow.” Alice ultimately chose to downplay the

issue.

“Mommy, will you stay with me in the Knight Residence after that?” Caroline suddenly became very

quiet, and hints of unease were evident on her face. Although she had found her family, she was still

worried since she didn’t know any of them.

She still wanted to be with her mommy. As long as her mommy was with her, she could go anywhere.

“Yes, I will.” Alice nodded and smiled while comforting the little girl. At this moment, she was grateful to

Ethan. At least he did not directly separate her from Caroline.

With the capabilities of the Knight Family, they could have forcibly separated her from Caroline. In fact,

in such a situation, most wealthy families would have chosen to get rid of her by force to avoid any

further entanglement.

“Great! From now on, I will be a child with both a father and a mother.” Caroline’s excitement was even

more apparent this time as she leaped with joy.

She had always been lively and cheerful like this.

Alice looked at her and smiled as she shook her head. She didn’t know what the future would hold, but

this was all she could do for now.

As for what would happen tomorrow when they went to the Knight Residence, only time would tell.

When Ethan returned home, Lawrence and Britney were waiting in the hall.

As soon as they saw Ethan come in, Britney stood up. “Ethan, is that child… truly Christine’s child? Is it

true?”

“Mom, she is Christine’s child.” He nodded. There was no need to question this as the evidence was

conclusive.

“That’s great. That’s truly great. It’s a blessing that the child is still alive.” Britney patted her chest as

she was finally relieved.

“Why didn’t you bring her back? When are we going to bring her back?” However, she became a little

anxious when she noticed that Ethan had not brought the child back.

“Mom, I’ve made arrangements. Don’t worry,” he reassured his mother as he understood her current

state of mind.

“Okay. That’s good, then.” She completely trusted her son’s abilities in handling things. If he said

everything was arranged, she didn’t need to worry.

“Oh, by the way, how did you arrange it? What about the girl who adopted Caroline? You can’t mistreat

her since she has done a favor to the Knight Family,” she said as she thought of Alice. The Knights

knew the importance of gratitude, so this matter was also pertinent to them.

“Well, I just got married to her. We have already obtained our marriage certificate. She will come here

with Caroline tomorrow,” Ethan replied naturally. It was as if he had not realized he had just dropped a

bomb on his family.

“What? What did you say? You got married to her?! What do you mean? You don’t mean it literally, do

you?” His mother was stunned and confused.

“Yes, I mean it literally.” He nodded, confirming her guess.

“Ethan, that girl might have adopted Christine’s child and done us a favor, and we should repay her, but

not like this. We can give her whatever she wants, but you can’t use this method. I won’t agree to it, nor

will I allow it either.” Britney wanted to thank Alice, but she wouldn’t use her son’s lifelong happiness to

compensate for it.

Regarding Alice, she didn’t need to investigate too much. She could learn a lot from the Internet, and it

did not paint Alice in a good light. She wouldn’t think much about it if Alice was regarded as a

benefactor of the Knight Family. However, it was absolutely unacceptable if she became Ethan’s wife.

“Did she force you to marry her by using Caroline as a threat?” Britney suddenly thought of a

possibility, and her expression changed visibly.

It was not that she wanted to think badly of people, but many girls nowadays were good at scheming.

Alice had disfigured her face and failed to marry into the Yeager Family. Now that she had been given

the opportunity, she would try every possible means to marry Ethan.

The man suddenly froze for a moment. Force me to marry her? Yeah, right.

He seemed to have only seen her trying every possible means to prevent him from marrying her.
