Chapter 2241
Henrick's words were flawless.
Alice wanted to refute, but he didn't say anything. What she feared most was that Henrick would snatch her children away from her.
Eden promised her that she would not take the children from her, but she had not been at ease since she came back.
She was really in a bad mood when she saw Henrick suddenly appear here.
Seeing this man, the familiar pain came back.
She had suffered a lot these years. She didn't want her parents to worry about her. She wanted to live a good life. She didn't want to cry all day.
"Henrick, I hope you can keep your word. When I left, I promised Eden that I would not stop you from coming to see the children. As long as you don't steal the children from me, you can meet them at any time." That was the promise she made when she left at that time.
If she didn't back down at all, the result would be even worse than now.
Henrick's eyes darkened. He smiled and said, "Alice, I'm a man of my word. I won't steal the children away from you." However, he wanted to steal her heart.
Henrick didn't dare to say these words at this time as he was afraid that Alice would misunderstand that he said those words for the sake of the child.
Alice looked at him and said nothing. Although he said so verbally, no one knew if he could keep his word.
She hadn't been able to fall asleep the whole night when she received Henrick's message to wait for him.
Of course, Henrick would not say much. As time went by, he believed that time could still cure everything.
"Alice, sit down!" He gracefully picked up the teacup and poured out two cups of tea.
Alice couldn't see through what she was doing.
After watching him for a while, she found that he was good at making tea and his movements were elegant and skillful.
Seeing that she was not sitting, Henrick looked up, and his eyes darkened.
Alice noticed the disappointment in his eyes. She quickly looked away and roared at him, "Are we the kind of people who can sit down and drink tea?"
After that, she turned around and left.
She suddenly realized that Henrick had changed; his aura had also transformed. He was a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different.
She was shocked, but she couldn't figure out what was on Henrick's mind.
Looking at Alice's retreating figure, he smiled slowly.
"Alice, since we've been involved since we were young, let's continue for the rest of our lives."
Henrick had been sitting on the balcony, sipping on his tea leisurely. From time to time, he would look at Alice's courtyard.
Occasionally, Marlon would ride a bike in the yard.
However, the little boy didn't seem to have the patience to do anything. He swung around, threw the bike away, and went to play with other toys.
Henrick had been observing his son's every move. The little guy was not very calm and was a little impetuous.
Forty minutes later, Josue came up and asked him to go downstairs for dinner. He found that Henrick's eyes were very focused on the scene below. Under the last touch of the setting sun, the soft gaze was something that Josue had never seen before.
Josue was both envious and jealous in his heart. No matter what pose he was in, Henrick was always so dazzling.
"Mr. Henrick, it's time to eat," Josue called out with a smile.
Henrick ignored him. His gaze was still focused on the courtyard. When he saw that Marlno had returned to his room, he slowly retracted his gaze. He looked at Josue and nodded before getting up and walking downstairs.
Alice was on the balcony on the second floor. When she saw that Henrick was not sitting there, she looked away. She could not see his position clearly, but she could see that he was no longer there.
She was surprised. The Alwynn family's methods were really pervasive. Even the villa next to hers belonged to them.
It was terrible. Fortunately, her previous decision was right.
However, she couldn't figure out why Henrick was here.
Moreover, he even moved to the house next to hers.
Alice stood there in disappointment, quietly looking at the place where Henrick had disappeared from. Their story had been reversed. Thinking of this, she laughed at herself. They had never started, so how could she think of the sentence that they could not return to the past?
"Haha..." Alice laughed at herself and almost burst into tears.
In general, she was no longer as regretful as she used to be.
"Mom, let's go. Let's have dinner. Grandma wants us to have dinner there," Marlon shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"Okay! I'm coming." Alice adjusted her mood before she went out. When she saw her son's smile, she immediately softened.
The children were on their school holidays during this period of time, and she planned to take them traveling. It was a long holiday, so she was able to take them to a few places.
Looking at the setting sun that hid in the clouds in the distance, the blue clouds around them were particularly beautiful.
She suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to reach out for something that could not be grasped.
During the meal, Alice was distracted. She didn't even hear Aubri talking to her.
"Mom, what are you thinking about? You're so deep in your thoughts. Grandma asked you, where are we going to travel?" Juliet gently pushed her mother.
Alice came to her senses and responded with a smile, "Mom, I haven't decided where to go yet."
Aubri looked at her with a slight frown and did not speak.
Bert's imposing manner was still the same as before. His handsome face was still dazzling, and his tone was very deep. "Alice, why are you in this state today? You even ate the food that you don't like. Tell me, did something happen?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Alice shook her head with a smile and looked down slightly. As expected, she saw that there was a variety of food that she didn't like on her plate which she had subconsciously taken.
Looking into her father's worried eyes, she felt a little guilty. Henrick really had a great influence on her. What she hated most was this kind of feeling. As long as she heard of news of him or saw him, she would feel that something was wrong.
"Dad, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about where to take them to play."
Of course, Bert didn't believe her. Didn't he know what kind of person his daughter was?
Thinking of the message Victor sent him, he was both angry and expectant!
His daughter liked that b*stard, Henrick, and had spent most of her life chasing after him.
He said, "It's still too hot to travel this month. Go next month."
Marlon thought that his grandfather was right.
"Mom, Grandpa is right. It's too hot in this kind of weather. I have to wear a short-sleeved shirt to watch TV at home. If I go out to play, I'm afraid my hands and face will be burned off."
When it came to traveling, Marlon didn't like to go out much. He would pay to go see some tourist spots, but a little guy like him was still too short, and he could only look at others' toes, never mind what was above their heads.
Alice glanced at her son and nodded slightly.
After dinner, Alice took the two children for a walk. Along the way, the scenery was very good, and the brother and sister were having a good time. Alice smiled, but when she looked up, she saw Henrick, who was standing not far away.
