Seeing Kennedy reach out his hand to stop, Anthony couldn’t help but wipe the smile off his face.
-Kennedy, I’m just going to see what’s taking this restaurant so long to serve food, why are you stopping me?
Kennedy merely pursed his lips and did not speak, but the aura of his body drew Anthony back a few steps as he retreated.
-Okay, okay, then I’m not going out, okay? Let’s stay here and wait for the waiter to serve the food.
That said, he quickly returned to the table and winked at Alice before Kennedy could approach.
Alice’s hands were under the table, invisible to the others, but she herself knew that her hands were about to knot.
For what she and Anthony were talking about was crucial, and again, something she wanted to keep secret from others.
But Kennedy’s appearance was all too sudden.
She didn’t even know if she had just arrived or if she was a while out and if she had already overheard her conversation with Anthony.
So he dared not do anything rash now, he could only sit back in his seat and watch Kennedy in silence.
Kennedy approached with steady steps, except that every step she took was like stepping on the tip of Alice’s heart.
By the time Kennedy reached her, Alice felt her whole back wet and looked up in a tangle.
It was as if she should say something to lighten the mood, but her lips moved, but not a word came out.
After a few seconds, Kennedy bent sharply at the waist, rested a hand on the side of Alice’s armrest and said coldly, -Keep who in captivity, eh?
The masculine scent of his body instantly enveloped her with its steep approach.
Alice’s breath was almost taken away.
And when Anthony, in the background, heard her say that, her mind began to whirl again, and then she timidly stepped forward, -Who else but you has he put in captivity? I was a little worried when Grandpa George called me last night, so I asked your little assistant to come out and chat about your engagement, and I told her that she really could put you in captivity, is there a problem?
He had just made up all these words in his haste, betting that Kennedy had only heard the last sentence, and that if he had heard them all, then Kennedy would have recognized what he had said.
And if he didn’t recognize it, then it meant that he didn’t hear much.
When the time came, he and Alice could work together again to keep the matter under wraps for the time being.
Indeed, Kennedy frowned and a look of displeasure crossed his eyes.
-Did he tell you about last night?
This question was put to Alice.
Alice froze for a moment and then nodded mutely.
She winked toward Anthony, behind Kennedy, who gave her a glance and then a nod of readiness, and Alice breathed a sigh of relief.
From Kennedy’s tone, he must not have overheard their earlier conversation.
Otherwise, this would not be the question this.
Alice coughed slightly, avoiding Kennedy’s gaze and said, -Well, I know.
Kennedy’s pupils twitched and, subconsciously, he went to grab her slender wrist.
Alice froze and Anthony, who saw the scene, couldn’t help but ask, -Kennedy, why are you holding her assistant’s hand, are you already together? Do I have to change the call of her name to sister-in-law instead of assistant?
Sister-in-law?
Kennedy raised an eyebrow in surprise at the title, thinking it wasn’t a bad idea for Anthony to call her that.
With a light push of her hand, she lifted Alice out of the chair and gently gathered her into her arms, then looked at Anthony with dismay.
-Next time, do not take my people without my permission.
Anthony was speechless.
“Shit!”
The scene really soured Anthony.
But thinking about what Alice had said to herself, Anthony felt sad for her, knowing that the person in front of her was the one she was in love with and had gotten to the point of talking about marriage, but couldn’t say anything.
Anthony realized his heart was breaking for this little sister-in-law!
She wasn’t like Zoe, who was all about her own pleasure and disliked people but enjoyed the thrill of being surrounded. She wasn’t like that Zoe who was happy with herself and didn’t like other people but enjoyed the thrill of being surrounded by them. She would smile at you on the outside but would bully you from behind.
How could the difference between people be so great?
Anthony sighed inwardly.
-Okay, I know it’s yours, I’ll definitely let you know in advance when I find my sister-in-law, okay? It’s not like I’m going to do anything to her, we’re just talking.
-You can’t chat either -Kennedy kept his distance.
Anthony was a man anyway, and while he knew Anthony wouldn’t think so, seeing her with other men, especially dating without his knowledge, made Kennedy’s heart uncomfortable.
Originally, he had called after work with the intention of calling her at her office.
As it turned out, the phone wasn’t even answered, and then, when he asked, he learned that Anthony had taken the person away, and it took him to get here, only to hear Anthony talking to her there.
Thinking about what Anthony had said earlier, Kennedy frowned, disgusted.
-Don’t show her the wrong thing.
-What?
Anthony couldn’t believe his ears.
-Kennedy, I found out today that you’re a fucking eccentric, what wrong thing can I teach my sister-in-law?
Just then, the waiter came in with the food and froze for a moment at the sight of the extra person in the compartment.
Alice coughed slightly to cover her lower lip and said to the waiter.
-Could you, uh, throw in an extra set of silverware for us, please?
-Sure, no problem, I’ll be right out to get it for you.
Alice pushed Kennedy in turn, trying to get out of his confines, but his hands were marked firmly around her waist like chains, and after all, Anthony was present, and she still felt embarrassed to be so close in front of the others.
-Let go of me first,” Alice could only whisper.
-How?
-I said, let’s have dinner first.
Kennedy didn’t answer, but after a moment he withdrew his hand and Alice finally caught her breath.
She was so scared day by day, and she didn’t know if this baby in her womb would be a wimp when it was born….
