As if it was the first time a woman had ever hugged him, Kennedy was frozen and couldn’t move a bit.
Her body was completely different from his. She was so soft that Kennedy wanted to hug her forever.
As he was about to raise his hand, Alice pushed him away.
-It’s time for you to come back.
Kennedy was surprised, “So early?”
Before he could react, the door had opened and she pushed him out of the room. Then Alice bid him farewell and unceremoniously closed the door.
In the dark hallway, Kennedy stood alone listening to the screams from next door.
And he was thinking, “Ruthless woman! She just admitted she likes him, and the next she pushed him away. Her heart is unpredictable, isn’t it? But…”
Kennedy squinted and looked into the next room.
He lived here and had to listen to such sounds every night? Even though he knew they were from other people, Kennedy still felt unpleasant.
***
Alice closed the door, ran quickly to the bathroom, and pinched her cheek in the mirror. When she realized that it hurt, she was sure that what had just happened was not a dream.
The change in Kennedy’s attitude was so quick. It was something she hadn’t even expected.
She thought he would become engaged to someone else and become a stranger to her.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Alice slowly smiled to herself.
But the smile didn’t last long before it disappeared. Alice’s face became serious again, thinking about what Reuben had told her that afternoon.
The news of her and Kennedy had been completely erased from the foreign press, which meant that few people knew about it, and even if they did, they had probably been bribed.
As for who was behind it, it was obvious.
When Alice had tried to approach Kennedy by this means, she had already thought about it. After all, the Carlos family was so powerful that they could almost dominate everything.
It was impossible for the Carlos family not to know things between her and Kennedy.
It seemed like it was harder than she had thought.
Alice pulled out her cell phone and wanted to call Megan Charlotte, but hesitated when she saw the time. She shouldn’t be off work at that hour.
Alice had no choice but to compose a text message to Megan, asking her to contact her tomorrow.
After sending the message, Alice got ready and went to bed.
Alice had a dream.
All night long she dreamed that Kennedy repeatedly pinned her against the door and kissed her. Only in her dreams Kennedy was more passionate than in reality and she was unable to resist.
When Alice opened her eyes, it was already dawn. She blinked and rolled over, feeling her legs and feet ache badly.
The overlapping of dream and reality.
For a moment, Alice couldn’t tell if the images were dreams or reality.
The only thing that was certain was that she had to get up, wash up and gather her things to go to work as usual.
When Alice came out, she just happened to run into the young couple coming out of the house next door. The girl’s body was as smooth as a snake against his. In her soft voice she said, -What are we having for lunch this morning?
The boy replied smiling, -We are going to eat as much as you want.
As he spoke, the girl looked up at Alice. As they were neighbors, she gave them a sweet smile.
Seeing her, Alice thought of the sounds she had heard the night before and her face turned a little red.
On her way to work, Alice received a call from Anthony.
-Hello?
Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. Last night…
Alice was surprised.
-Kennedy came to see you last night, didn’t he? Did he explain everything?
Oh, Anthony was a real gossip.
Alice replied helplessly, -If you want to know, you can ask Kennedy. Wouldn’t that be quicker?
Anthony was holding his cell phone on the other end, -No, I don’t dare ask him. You know, he almost killed me last night after I said something bad. But sister-in-law, Kennedy is innocent. I must tell you.
Alice narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
Anthony continued, “Yesterday I went to the hotel where the Espinar and Carlos families were having dinner. And I waited downstairs for a long time after Kennedy left. Then the other three came out. then guess what I saw?
Alice, -Don’t be a show-off. Get to the point.
-Oh, you’re a woman who really doesn’t know how to reciprocate. You should be curious right now. But you’re so fierce…
Alice was speechless.
-Okay, okay, okay, I tell you. Shortly after Kennedy left, I wanted to stay and poke around a bit more, and soon saw that Kennedy’s grandfather had also come downstairs. And he looked pretty bad. Also, when Orlando came out, he was obviously unpleasant. And Zoe was following him, with all her makeup messed up. Haha, you could tell the clothes and makeup were well designed. But unfortunately, it didn’t go down well with someone.
Zoe…
Alice hadn’t expected this woman’s name to come up in her and Kennedy’s life again.
She had given herself a bad impression after their previous encounter. She knew he had a girlfriend , but she still forcibly wanted to be with Kennedy.
Just like this time…
Even though Kennedy had lost his memory, she, Zoe, knew all about her and Kennedy, and still wanted to commit to him.
In this day and age, is there such a person who even disregarded moral boundaries for love and her own thrill?
-Sister-in-law, anyway, you are the only one for Kennedy. Even though you’ve known each other for such a short time, Kennedy is totally obsessed with you. You must have your own charm, so…. Hahaha, I don’t have to worry about you two anymore in the future.
Hearing him say that, it suddenly occurred to Alice that these days it was Anthony who helped her a lot. When they were together, he irritated Kennedy constantly.
Was he bored? But it didn’t seem necessary to do so much.
Alice couldn’t resist asking, -Anthony, why are you helping me?
Anthony let out a little laugh and then said, -No reason. Probably because I’m bored.
-Even if you are bored, you don’t have to….
-Yeah, yeah. You’re on your way to work now, aren’t you? I’m not bothering you.
Having said that, before Alice could answer, the other party hung up the phone as quickly as possible.
Hearing the tone on the phone, Alice was quiet for a few seconds and then hung up the phone.
-Anthony had done so much for her. It didn’t seem so simple.
-It would have to have some purpose.
-As to what the purpose was, she didn’t know, but… she shouldn’t harm herself, that’s all.
