Anthony recoiled with a cry of pain and brought his hand to his eyes, -Sister-in-law, are you trying to murder me?
-Anthony? -Alice sat up, her heart still pounding, -Why are you here?
She had just opened her eyes to see him staring at her, which was easy to get scared of, wasn’t it?
Anthony covered his bruised eye and looked at her, -It’s not because I wanted to create an opportunity for you and Kennedy, but it turned out….
Seeing him cover his eyes, Alice thought he’d just waved his hand in his haste, not knowing where he’d hit and the back of his hand was vaguely sore at the moment.
Not to mention Anthony.
-I’m sorry,” he sat up and looked at Anthony with an apologetic face, “Did I hit you in the eye? I just now woke up from a nap and opened my eyes to see you in front of me. I touched you for rushing me…..
Speaking of which, Alice looked at him with even more guilt-filled eyes, -I’m so sorry, or would you take your hand away so I could see if it hurt?
Her earnest apology made Anthony feel a little embarrassed, who shook his head and withdrew his hand right away, -I lied to you. I’m fine. Sister-in-law, since you’re awake, come with me quickly.
-Where to? -Alice was a little surprised. She saw that Anthony’s eyes had swollen a little and she didn’t know if they would turn red and blue later.
Anthony replied, -I’ll take you to get Kennedy.
After saying that, he didn’t care if Alice agreed or not, dragging her off the couch, -Hurry up. If you delay any longer, Kennedy will leave the company.
-Okay -only then Alice quickly put on her shoes and followed Anthony out the door.
The two of them walked down the silent hallway, as Anthony told her, -If you really like Kennedy, you have to take the opportunity to have lunch together in the future. Don’t waste it, it’s a good time to improve the relationship. You should try to entice Kennedy before he commits himself.
Alice was originally walking, but suddenly stopped in her tracks when she heard these words and raised her eyes to look at Anthony in dismay.
-You, what did you just say?
-I just said… -Anthony said, his eyes widening in shock as he reached out to cover his mouth.
He didn’t know Alice. If she found out Kennedy was going to get engaged, she’d suddenly give up. What the hell was wrong with her, how could she talk about it like that?
-Little missus, I was just talking nonsense and don’t get me wrong. How could Kennedy casually get engaged he was naturally cold as ice and there are hardly any women who could attract him. I’ve known him for a long time and I’ve only seen him treat you a little more special.
Anthony hastened to make remedy so that Alice would not change her mind.
But Alice’s beautiful eyebrows were furrowed as if something serious had happened.
-No… sister-in-law. You really were talking nonsense just now and you can’t be taken seriously….
However, Alice raised her eyes to look at him slyly.
-If there were no such thing, how could you possibly misspeak?
She knew Kennedy’s character and knew he would not commit himself to anyone else. It was something special to her… probably because of the previous love she had had.
But, in spite of that, he had forgotten about her.
When he learned that he had lost his memory and forgotten himself, Alice felt hurt and sad.
He could forget everyone. Why was he forgetting her too?
Was she not important? But then she thought about it, he hadn’t volunteered for her accident, so if she blamed him for that, it would be too unreasonable.
-Little sister-in-law, even if there really is such a thing, I just told you that Kennedy won’t get engaged to someone else casually, so you can rest assured.
Alice said nothing more and after glancing at him, she took a step forward and kept walking, only her heart began to look different.
If before she was full of expectations, leaps of faith and hope.
But now she? She must be frustrated and uninspired.
She felt an unabated bitterness from her chest. Once she thought of him having a verbal commitment to another woman and becoming engaged, her heart felt uncomfortable in every way.
Halfway through, Alice suddenly said, -I am a little uncomfortable and will not go with you.
Anthony filled with doubt.
-Sister-in-law, you can’t do that. If you don’t appreciate the rare opportunity, you’ll really miss Kennedy.
Alice shrugged indifferently, -He’s not mine. Even if being taken away, what can I do? Besides, he’s not a toy doll, so how can he be snatched?
Anthony was speechless at her words.
It was true that Kennedy was a person, not an object, so how could he be taken away?
-It’s all my fault! Anthony suddenly reached up and gave himself a fierce slap, “I shouldn’t have said anything foolish, sister-in-law, forgive me!
The sudden slap stunned Alice and seeing that Anthony was about to slap the other side of her face, she rushed to grab his hand, -Stop! Don’t do that!
Anthony looked at her, begging, -So, sister-in-law, are you coming back?
Alice relented.
-Come on, I’ll go with you.
-All right.
Alice sighed without fuss, -Why are you helping me like this? Obviously… we didn’t know each other before. You’re setting me up with him like this, aren’t you afraid he’s that kind of bad person?
I believe that sister-in-law is sincere with Kennedy and I believe in me too. Don’t worry. I will help you because people who love each other should be together, not… should be separated.
When he said that last sentence, Alice noticed that his tone was much lower, so she couldn’t help but ask, -Why are you sad?
At the question, Anthony quickly picked up the emotions under his eyes and replaced them with a different look, -Sad? I’m not sad. Come on, let’s go.
Saying this, he quickened his steps and moved forward. Alice looked behind her and reflected.
Anthony’s past…
Forget it, why was she thinking about other people’s business? She was so busy with her own affairs that she didn’t have time to worry about anyone else’s.
She followed Anthony to Kennedy’s office.
He arrived just in time to run into Kennedy who was preparing to leave with his suit and keys and, they faced each other.
-Kennedy, are you going out to dinner? Your assistant and I haven’t eaten yet either, why don’t you take us out?
Alice was silent.
Is it really okay to ask so blatantly? If Alice had known Anthony was going to do this, she definitely wouldn’t have come.
