Chapter 143

It’s just getting a marriage license with Ethan. What’s the big deal?

“It’s just a marriage license… Listen to that tone and attitude. You’re outright showing off.” Lydiapretended she wanted to hit Alice. How frustrating! It’s true when they say comparisons are odious!

Nevertheless, Lydia was still somewhat in disbelief. “Hang on. Let me clarify this again. Did you andEthan get a marriage license together? Are you sure it’s the Ethan I know?”

“Yes.” Only then did Alice remember that Lydia and Ethan used to live in the same compound and thatthey knew each other.

“My God! You actually got married to Ethan! He is my crush! Wait, that’s not it. To me, he is theexistence of a celestial being. You are married to a celestial being!” Lydia’s tone was beyondexaggeration to the point that Alice felt she couldn’t stand it. Seriously? Does she seriously have to beso comical? It’s just getting a marriage license with Ethan. What’s so special about it? Either way, it’snothing special to me at all.

“Alice, how could you keep such an important matter from us? Is this how you treat a friend?” Ceciliawas clearly concerned about a different issue than Lydia. In Cecilia’s view, it wasn’t important whomAlice married. What she minded the most was that Alice actually didn’t disclose the news to herinstantly.

“Shut up. That’s not the most important issue right now.” Lydia interrupted Cecilia.

“What’s the most important issue, then?” Cecilia was stunned. What else is more crucial than Alicekeeping her marriage a secret from us?

Then, Lydia stared straight at Alice. Her eyes gleamed with a clear and strong sense of excitement,thrill, and gossip. “Darling, tell me—is Ethan particularly great?”

Sure enough, Alice would take Lydia’s words literally if she had spoken those words with a natural tone.However, the intonation in Lydia’s voice was clearly unusual. For that reason, Alice was a littleconfused about what Lydia actually meant.

“What?” Alice blinked, for she really didn’t understand what Lydia was getting.

“Ethan is handsome, well-built, and physically strong. So, his thing has to be particularly awesome,right?” Lydia feared that Alice still didn’t understand what she meant, so she winked so often that themuscles around her eyes were almost cramped.

Finally, Alice got Lydia’s point. After all, the ambiguous tone in Lydia’s voice right now was equivalent toa comprehensive indication.

Instantaneously, Alice remembered the situation at the hotel with Ethan that night. But after seeingLydia’s almost lunatic state right now, Alice undoubtedly dared not say anything about it. Therefore, shedecided to evade the crucial point and only talked about her married status. “Our marriage is onlytitular.”

What Alice said was true. Her marriage with Ethan was indeed only titular. They were only married inname.

Outside the room, Ethan snorted softly. So, she does know that our marriage is currently titular. It’sbeen so long since we got our marriage license, yet I still sleep alone in the room every night. Oh, whyis my life such a struggle?

“Oh, my God! You are committing a crime! You are letting God’s good gifts go to waste!” Once again,Lydia exclaimed, “Alice, are you aware of the number of women out there who want to sleep withEthan? Those women are wilder than a pack of hungry hyenas when they see Ethan. You are now hislegal spouse, and he’s right in front of you every day, yet you’re telling me you’re treating him like astatue in a museum?!”

“Are you sure you’re not being dramatic?” Since Cecilia had never met Ethan, she couldn’t understandthe craze women had when they saw Ethan. “What about you, then? Don’t tell me you ever lust afterEthan.”

“Of course, I have. I want to f*ck him every time I see him.” Since Lydia had a particularlystraightforward temperament, she always spoke what was on her mind. “But it’s just all in my head andabsolutely nothing more. I will never let Ethan replace out I harbor such thoughts about him. I fear he willkill me.” Little did Lydia know the subject of their discussion had heard every word that escaped her lipsclearly and loudly. “Furthermore, the reason why I harbored such thoughts was that I thought Ethanwas single. Besides, there’s no law indicating I can’t have such thoughts. So, I might as well, right?”Lydia figured she still needed to explain herself on some matters and let her friends know she was stilla virtuous woman. “Now that I know you are married to Ethan, I will never harbor such thoughts aboutEthan in the future. From now on, Ethan shall be our homies.”

Outside the room, Ethan squinted his eyes as he thought, Lydia and I grew up in the same compound.So, I am obliged to educate her properly, right?

Lydia, who was talking enthusiastically, suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. Alas, she wascurrently too preoccupied to pay attention to these. “Darling, you are his legal wife. Do you not haveany desire to make—”

As for Ethan, who stood outside the room, he apparently straightened his posture a little. At the sametime, he became more attentive and focused on his eavesdropping.

Alice’s eyes flickered slightly. Perhaps she knew too well that their marriage was for Caroline’s sakeand wouldn’t last long, Alice never once harbored as well as prohibited herself from havinginappropriate thoughts about Ethan. “No, I don’t.”

In fact, she even completely concealed what happened at the hotel that night at the bottom of herheart. To this day, Ethan still had no idea it was her that night.

Ethan was especially moody after he heard Alice’s reply. What does she mean by no?

“Darling, it’s impossible you don’t have such thoughts. Are you sure you are normal? Can you truly beindifferent and control yourself when sleeping on the same bed with Ethan?” Lydia didn’t believe thatAlice could truly be indifferent. Any typical woman would lose control in front of Ethan. He is simply toofine. His quality is the completely flawless kind.

On the other hand, Alice felt that Lydia was overthinking matters. “Ethan and I sleep on different bedsand in different rooms. We sleep in separate rooms.”

Lydia went silent for three seconds before she placed her hand on her chest and donned a heartbrokenexpression. “A crime! You are committing a crime, indeed! You married my crush, yet you two sleep indifferent rooms?! I can’t believe you would allow my crush to sleep alone every night. How can youmistreat him like this? You have crossed the line.”

Ethan agreed with what Lydia said, and thus, he decided to go easy on Lydia when he looked for theperson to educate her later.

Alice blinked, feeling a little confused. “Why are you saying that I have crossed the line?” Ethan and Iapplied for the marriage license solely because of Caroline. We are a fake married couple in the firstplace, and we will divorce after six months. The two of us had signed an agreement, so why am Igetting accused of crossing the line? How has this become my fault?

“Darling, do you really have no desire for Ethan? What if you are in some special circumstances? Willyou have it by then?” Lydia asked, sensing the severity of this matter. After all, it was related to thelifelong happiness of her best friend. Therefore, she had to meddle in this.
