Chapter 75: Is That All?
The door opened, he turns and walks toward the bedroom. She follows behind. Lowering her head, she feels an invisible pressure from him, "Do you want to come in?" He stops at the bedroom door and asks. She gets stunned, but she understands what he means.
Seeing him walking into the room, Alice looks at the door. She clenches her fist, and then walks in. Seeing him standing by the window with a glass of red wine in his hand, she starts feeling nervous. "Come here."
She walks over slowly. Because of her height, her head can only reach his chest. Just to his chest, she raises her head and looks at him. From a distance, he looks like holding her. "Kiss Me."
Her heart is beating fiercely. She can only do what he asks. She can see his lips. She can reach those lips if she stands on her tiptoes. She exhales slightly. Alice, it's not your first kiss. Don't be afraid. Be brave. She clenches her fist, closes her eyes, and kisses right on his lips.
His lips are slightly cool, soft, with a faint mint fragrance, which makes her cheeks flush all of a sudden. Then she hears him saying, "That's all?"
She suddenly understands what he means. Her palms can't help but sweat.
Sticking out her small tongue, she tentatively enters between his thin lips. He cooperates with all her moves, feeling her green kiss skills, which easily ignites his inner flame.
When her tongue feels numb, she guesses that maybe this is enough.
When she is about to leave, he grabs her waist. When she raises her head, she sees his black eyes being so warm, which makes her staring at them for a moment. "You started it, you need to finish it yourself."
In the next second, she is thrown directly onto the bed by the man. The night is still young. It is just the beginning...
Until the next day that she knows that the person who transfers her mother to another hospital is him, not Joanna.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He transfers her mother to a better hospital, but in fact, it makes Alice feel inexplicably despair. Does it mean that she can never leave him anymore unless he is tired of her?
"Don't worry about the clinic. I will find a lawyer for you. Everything will be fine." Edward hugs Alice from behind. His gentle voice makes her stunned for a while.
"Thank you."
He suddenly bites her lower lip. It's not hard, but enough for her frown her eyebrows, "Don't say thank you to me in the future."
Alice doesn't answer. She lowers her head, feeling herself like a whore.
In the office, Edward sits at the desk, putting his hands together on the lower abdomen. He looks at the documents which are gradually piled up more and more on the desk, but he doesn't want to check it at all.
His handsome face is entwined with a rigorous feeling. His thick eyebrows are frowned together. His lips are closed with a nice curve. His black eyes are staring at the documents on the desk, but thoughts are not here anymore. Although it looks like something is different after her case for the clinic is done.
But every time when he visits her, she still always avoids him. Her answer is always that she is busy with work, she doesn't want to talk about personal matters at work.
He can only try to change her attitude towards him over time.
He thought that after helping her solve the problems in the clinic, she would take a break. Once she has more free time, he can visit her more. He can pick up Albert and Rebecca from school then take the opportunity to go to the clinic. Who knows, Alice really doesn't give him any chance, the same as Albert and Rebecca.
Every time he goes to the school to pick them up, they run so fast once they see his car without giving him a chance to speak.
When did he receive such treatment as a president in the company?
But they are his favorite little babies. Edward can do anything but mocking himself.
"Alas......"
Edward sighs helplessly and shakes his head. He has never encountered such a difficult situation before, not even when the company had a financial crisis.
At that time, Alice was there being with him, which made him feel that he could survive from any difficulties.
Now, the crises have passed, but the person who accompanied him at the time is no longer with him.
Looking at the documents on the desk, Edward feels headache. He is not in the mood to work. He is just thinking about it. Suddenly, the phone starts ringing. Edward picks up the phone and puts it to his ear. With an unpleasant tone, he says, "Hello? What's the matter?"
The only ones who can call his office are usually the employees of the company. If there is no emergency, the employees of the company don't dare to disturb him.
At this moment, the phone rings. Edward thinks it is something wrong with the company, which makes him angrier since he is already so worried about Alice.
"Hello? Edward, Jacquiline is coming back today. Can you pick her up at the airport when you have time?"
It is his mother calling. Edward is still angry at her about what happens with Alice's clinic. When he hears her voice, his mood is not turning better.
After hearing what Janet says in the phone, Edward realizes that Alice and Jacquiline were best friends before. After Alice left without saying goodbye, Jacquiline went to study abroad.
They have lost contact for the past few years. He almost forgets her. If Janet doesn't call him suddenly, he will have forgotten that Alice and Jacquiline were best friends.
Thinking of this, Edward, who was about to refuse, suddenly changes his mind and replies, "I got it. Send me the location and the time. I will pick her up."
Then Edward hangs up the phone without giving Janet a chance to talk more.
Looking at the phone, Edward thinks thoughtfully. Alice and she were best friends. Maybe he can approach Alice through Jacquiline!
In the airport, people come and go. There is the sound of suitcases dragging on the floor everywhere. Also, everywhere is noisy. Edward puts his hands in the trouser pockets of his suit and walks slowly, which makes him look outstanding from the busy people. "Please note! Flight E-A507 has arrived at the airport. Please wait patiently at the pick-up gate. Don't be impatient to avoid a stampede."
A nice voice comes from the radio station. Hearing that, Edward walks faster.
At the pick-up gate, people were already surrounded all over. Between the two iron-colored railings, there is a road that is enough for three people to pass. In the distance, a group of people dragging all kinds of suitcases walks towards them. Every now and then, some passengers meet their family members, then start talking excitedly.000000000000000
