Chapter 64

It seemed to him that she was trying her absolute best to prevent him from marrying her.

Ethan was never wrong in his judgment of people and events. No one could fake or act before him, ashe could see right through their acts.

Thus, he could tell she didn’t want to marry him, and there was no hint of playing hard to get on herpart.

“Such women are common.” When Ethan didn’t reply to Britney, she thought she had guessedcorrectly. “Son, let me handle this.”

“Mom, it’s not what you think. It’s my idea.” He immediately remembered the first thought that came tomind upon seeing the photo of Caroline he got from Chris when he asked the latter to investigate Alice.

What was Ethan thinking at the time? He wanted to take care of Christine’s child and have her return tothe Knight Family. That was why Ethan married Alice. Whether he made this decision solely forCaroline’s sake or something else, only he knew the answer!

Tonight, he had to take careful steps and get his marriage certificate!

He rarely cared so much about such things.

“Why? Are you afraid that people will question Caroline’s identity when she returns to the KnightFamily? Even so, you don’t have to marry Alice. I can help you replace a suitable person to marry.Someone like Alice is…” Britney didn’t want to speak ill of others behind their backs, but her meaningwas clear.

“Ethan, don’t marry Alice.” She felt suffocated at the thought of her accomplished son marrying awoman like Alice.

“That’s enough. This is Ethan’s business. He has always been prudent in his actions and can decidefor himself. You don’t need to interfere.” Lawrence, who had been observing in silence, finally spokeup.

He understood his son well. Although Caroline’s situation was troublesome and sensitive, Ethan hadplenty of ways to handle it properly.

It was unexpected that his son had gone to register for marriage with someone. His son was never thetype to make sacrifices for others, especially when it involved something as important as marriage. Thisis now getting interesting, Lawrence thought.

“But—” Britney was unsatisfied and wanted to say more.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Ethan just said he’d pick up Caroline and Alice tomorrow. You don’t want tolook too tired and scare the children, do you?” Lawrence pulled her back to their room.

However, at a spot out of Britney’s sight, he gave a thumbs-up to his son.

Not only did he replace Christine’s child, but he also brought himself a wife. Such an outstanding sondeserved some praise.

When Ethan saw his father’s gesture, he couldn’t help but smile as he found his father’s action ratherchildish.

However, his father had always respected his decisions since he was young and never forced him todo anything. Today, Ethan went ahead with his marriage without consulting his father, but Lawrencedidn’t criticize him and even supported him unconditionally.

“No, we can’t sacrifice Ethan’s happiness for the sake of Christine’s child. It’s not right,” said Britney.She was still uneasy even though Lawrence had brought her back to the room.

“Have you thought about the Wallace Family?” Lawrence sighed softly. His expression became solemn,and his voice was noticeably heavier.

“The Wallace Family? What about them? Felix and Christine are already dead. Are they not going to letgo of a child? Besides, they don’t even know the child’s father is Felix. Now, the child is recognizedunder Ethan’s name, right?” When Britney mentioned the Wallace Family, her emotions were mixedwith grief and hatred. Christine was still so young when she died, and it was all because she marriedinto the Wallace Family.

“Do you think the Wallace Family is easy to fool? Now that Triston is the young master of the WallaceFamily, he will take the child back to the family if he knows that Felix’s child is still alive. Even if Tristondoesn’t make a move, will the other members of the Wallace Family not use the child to threaten him?”Lawrence was thinking more about this matter. Although the Knight Family was powerful, they couldn’tguarantee that nothing unexpected would happen to Caroline. Otherwise, Christine wouldn’t have diedin a car accident all those years ago.

Britney’s expression instantly became solemn. “The Wallaces are vicious and greedy. We cannot letCaroline return to them. We must not let them know that Caroline is Felix’s child.”

“So, when Caroline returns to the Knight Family for the first time, she needs to have the perfectidentity.” The way Lawrence handled things was similar to that of Ethan. They left no room for hiddendangers, let alone this matter.

“But this is too unfair to our son. Our son has suffered a great deal for Christine’s sake this time. Isearched the Internet for some information about Alice these past few days. I have read media reports.She is too…” Britney felt that her son was treated unfairly.

Alice has no merit at all. How can she match my son?

“Following the crowd and rumors is not reliable. Even if the rumors are true, Alice will be a member ofour family in the future. Our family will protect her. By then, who dares to say a word against her?”Lawrence was indeed powerful, especially with a commanding presence.

Britney was speechless.

Is this about the matter of speaking or not? Just because of Knight Family’s influence, it doesn’t meanAlice’s issue does not exist. Furthermore, even if others do not say it to her face, they will talk about itbehind her back. Though, what does it matter if others talk about Alice? It has nothing to do with me.She simply felt that her son had gotten the short end of the stick.

In the meantime, Ethan returned to his room and took out the freshly printed marriage certificate. Helooked at it and suddenly remembered a sentence Alice had said before. She asked him whether heever thought that he would make her feel unfairly treated by marrying her.

Would it be unfair for him to marry her? Was it unfair?

He thought about it for a while but didn’t manage to get an answer in the end. So, he locked themarriage certificate in the drawer.

He did not pick up Alice and Caroline personally the next day. Caleb went in his stead.

“Mr. Knight received an urgent task and went out. He instructed me to pick up Miss—I mean, YoungMadam Knight and Miss Caroline.” Bradley changed his salutations with a polite attitude.

Alice had a relatively deep impression of Bradley since he spoke up for her yesterday.

She seemed to be in a good mood since she didn’t have to see Ethan. She was polite and gentle toBradley, carrying a smile on her face. She was devoid of the tension and hostility she had toward Ethanlast night.

Bradley was somewhat flattered and uneasy at the same time as Alice treated him with much kindnessas compared to her treatment for Ethan. He couldn’t help but wonder, would Mr. Knight be angry whenhe saw this?

Although he had been with Ethan all these years and had never seen him angry, he had also neverseen him meet a girl and marry her on their first meeting.

Moreover, it was the first time he had seen Ethan waiting for a woman to finish her meal. He had evenwaited for more than an hour.
