-Are you sure you don’t have any questions for me? -He stared at her, like a hunter eyeing his prey. If he would only raise his gun he would catch her in the next second.
Normally, Alice would have bristled at such a look, but today she was so annoyed and irritable that she simply answered him.
-You ask me if I have any questions for you. And I’d like to ask you, what do I need to ask you? What have you done that you need me to ask you?
Hearing such an answer, Kennedy couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
-An explosive temper, eh?
Alice got up and opened the door at once, -I have to work tomorrow.
The implication was to leave, I have to rest.
Kennedy frowned, thinking. “She was in such a hurry to get rid of me, it seemed like she didn’t want to set the record straight.”
So, I guess I couldn’t wait for her to ask him today.
In keeping with his arrogant nature, he should have gotten up and left after she had told him this.
But Kennedy felt, if he left like that today, he would regret it.
Thinking of this, Kennedy got up and walked over to her.
Alice thought he was ready to leave, but to her surprise he stopped in front of her, his gaze fixed on herself, with no intention of leaving.
His aura was strong as he approached her, -If there is nothing to ask, then why are you angry?
Alice frowned, -I’m not angry.
Suddenly, some kissing sounds were heard.
Alice didn’t hear it at first. But when she heard it clearly, she blushed heavily. The couple living next door to her was very young and used to have sex every night before going to bed.
After all, it was a small room and these walls were very thin.
Besides, they had the door open, and the sounds coming from next door were even clearer.
Alice knew that Kennedy had heard it too. So, she stepped back suddenly and closed the door.
When the door closed, the sound faded. But since it had been heard, she could still faintly hear something.
If she could hear it, Kennedy naturally, too.
Her cheeks, which had been white, instantly turned red. Alice would never have imagined that she would have encountered anything like this, and the atmosphere, which had been so intense between them a moment before, had now become particularly uncomfortable.
-What…
As she had just opened her mouth, she saw Kennedy slowly approaching.
-Are you sure you’re not mad at me?
She didn’t know why. Alice actually thought Kennedy’s voice sounded much lower and huskier at that moment.
Thus, she felt very dangerous for Kennedy.
Alice reached out to push him away. But when her hand touched his chest, he pulled her forward and pinned her against the door.
Her whole body was almost pressed against his. It was so heavy that Alice couldn’t get free and could only look at him angrily, -What the hell are you doing?
At the same time, the woman next to her became so irritated that her breath hung in the air.
Alice clearly saw Kennedy’s eyes grow darker, with a kind of emotion she couldn’t understand. Before she could react, he had lowered his head and kissed her mouth hard.
Her eyes opened wide and she tried to push him away. But her hands were controlled by him and she could not move them.
Kennedy kissed her for a moment and pulled away. His forehead resting on hers, he said hoarsely.
-I’m not doing anything, I just have a question for you.
Alice looked at him, and said in her trembling voice.
-What? What question?
-What Anthony told you, did you create it?
Alice bit her lip and stared without answering.
Kennedy asked her again, -So you’re mad at me?
Hearing this sentence, Alice argued loudly, as if he had stepped on her tail.
-What do you mean, I’m mad at you? Don’t flatter yourself. It’s impossible…
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, he kissed her and pulled back again, -Your reaction is so strong and you still won’t admit it?
-No… -I was about to say something else and he kissed her again.
In the end, Alice was completely stunned by his successive kisses. She looked at him quietly, not knowing how to argue.
Until Kennedy whispered in her ear.
-I will not compromise with the others.
Alice took a moment to turn around and looked at Kennedy in disbelief, -You just said you won’t commit to anyone else, but….
-Listen carefully, I will only say these words once,” She touched his hair, leaned closer and whispered in his ear.
-I’m not sure if you work at the company for me, but I’m sure from all your behavior that I like you.
-No, no… -Alice was really confused by what he had just said. She thought he had gone there to talk about an engagement, but she hadn’t expected him to say he wouldn’t be engaged to anyone else.
So she was there for the night to turn him down?
-How dare you say no?
Alice was startled.
She looked away shyly and said faintly, -If you say yes, yes.
This look of resignation and reluctance to admit that she liked him made Kennedy feel tempted. He touched her chin and narrowed his eyes, pulling her closer.
-Yes or no. Don’t be ambiguous.
The two of them stood face to face, so close they could barely see each other’s faces. They could only see the reflections in each other’s eyes.
Under his forceful gaze, Alice said one word, -Yes.
That said, at last Kennedy showed a kindly look, the likes of which had not been seen since he lost his memory.
He chuckled contentedly, -Those are your own words. I like you, so don’t change your mind.
Although he did not know how he had become attracted to this strange woman, almost every night, when he closed his eyes, he always thought of her face.
Alice looked at him uncertainly and hesitated, -Are you confessing to me?
Kennedy became serious again. It was she who said she liked him, but in her opinion it was the opposite.
Alice sighed helplessly as she saw his face suddenly turn serious.
She didn’t want to admit it, but her behavior showed it.
And what he had said to her today meant that he really cared about her. That was enough.
Alice finally reached out and wrapped her arms around his strong, slender waist, then tucked her cheek into his arms.
Kennedy’s whole body froze.
