People brought up in the rain of love always became emotional.
A person who liked to cry was not weak, but his heart was full of emotions. Of course, there were people in this world who did not shed a single tear, even if they encountered great difficulties, but those people, they had always faced difficulties alone, because they had no one else to rely on.
In the same way, if Kennedy had not come today, Alice would have faced Mr. George’s difficulties alone. Even if George’s anger had led him to do something irrational, Alice would have been able to resolve the situation before it got worse.
But here came Kennedy. She stood by Alice’s side, even getting into trouble with Grandpa for her.
This feeling of being protected, combined with Kennedy’s embrace at this moment, made Alice feel a sour sensation in her nose and her eyes were hot, as if tears were about to well up.
Alice tried desperately to push the feeling away and said with a smile, -Don’t think too hard, how could I cry?
Despite what Alice said, there was a small tear in the corner of her eye. She was glad that, with her head buried in Kennedy’s arms, Kennedy couldn’t see the moisture in the corners of her eyes.
Perhaps Alice’s voice was a little muffled when she spoke and Kennedy moved a little to push her away.
But Alice was afraid he would see the tears in the corners of her eyes, so she held tightly to Kennedy’s waist and clung to his jacket, and Kennedy seemed to understand her well. So neither of them spoke for the rest of the day, hugging each other in silence.
Time passed, I don’t know how much, but Alice had recovered and left Kennedy’s embrace.
-Mr. Jorge just…
-I know.
Without waiting for Alice to finish, Kennedy nodded and continued, “I’ll take care of this, you just have to trust me.
-And what are you going to do about it? -Just now Alice had overheard Kennedy’s conversation with Jorge, so she was worried about Kennedy.
Because Alice and Kennedy’s relationship had just stabilized when something like this happened. Now that Kennedy has lost her memory, Alice doesn’t even know who Kennedy would choose between her grandfather and her.
But after what happened today, Alice felt that there was a strong possibility that Kennedy would turn against her grandfather for her.
Although she was touched by Kennedy’s sincere love, Alice did not want to see Kennedy lose another family member. Thinking about this, Alice told him,
-You must remain calm and not start a conflict with your grandfather.
Kennedy was amused to hear, -Why, don’t you think I can beat him in a fight?
Alice thought about it, weighed her words and said cautiously but truthfully, -I don’t want you to argue with your family over me, maybe he can accept me?
It was clear from what had happened today that George, though stubborn, was not bad. But it wouldn’t be easy to get him to accept the fact that Kennedy and Alice were together, and Alice would first have to find out why Jorge had stopped her from being with Kennedy.
Because an older person must have been through a lot and become reasonable easily. So why on earth would Jorge want to stop Kennedy and Alice from falling in love with each other?
-Let’s take a peaceful approach first, I’ll try to convince your grandfather and see if he’ll accept me, if that’s not possible?
Alice didn’t finish her sentence.
Kennedy was nervous and grabbed her hand, -What if it really doesn’t work, do you want to leave me?
Kennedy’s grip was a little heavy and he was frowning, looking at Alice nervously, and seeing the look on Kennedy’s face, Alice couldn’t resist the urge to crack a joke, -If your grandfather really can’t handle it.
-If your grandfather really can’t take us being together, then I’ll have to leave you too.
Alice makes a tentative joke.
But no sooner had she said it than Kennedy’s strength increased and he leaned close to Alice, his other arm around her white neck, breathing hard,
-I won’t allow it!
The emotion in Kennedy’s eyes was much deeper than before, like the night before the storm. For the first time Alice knew that Kennedy really cared about her and took the joke seriously.
Alice couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, -What’s the matter? I was only joking with you.
Kennedy frowned, -You were joking with me?
Alice nodded, -Of course.
But when Alice said that, Kennedy wasn’t happy, she seemed to be in a worse mood, looking at Alice with emotion-laden eyes, a cold look that made Alice feel a little afraid, so she stammered and asked.
-What’s the matter?
Did Alice say something wrong? Although she had explained, Kennedy was still upset.
Kennedy looked at her silently for a moment before slowly saying, -Is it because it was too short?
Alice didn’t understand and asked, -What do you mean?
-Because it’s been so short a time since we established our relationship that you don’t care enough about me to joke with me like that.
Only after hearing this did Alice realize that Kennedy had taken the joke she had just made seriously. That’s how misunderstandings sometimes happen.
But Alice hadn’t expected Kennedy to get carried away so easily, and seeing his attitude now, Alice felt that if he didn’t change his attitude, Kennedy might get angry, and Alice could only explain.
-That’s not what I meant, I wasn’t joking about it, I was really just talking about it, I didn’t intend that.
Alice was even more anxious and could only grab his hand,
-Are you angry? Then I apologize, I was wrong to say that a moment ago, I won’t say it again, okay?
Hearing Alice’s apology, the discomfort in Kennedy’s eyes dissolved a little, and he said in disgust,
-Now that we have established a relationship, you will always be responsible for me and you won’t be able to leave me.
The look in Kennedy’s eyes just now had frightened Alice. So now, no matter what Kennedy said, Alice agreed and even promised, -I promise you that I will be responsible for you and I will never leave you.
Only after saying this did Alice realize that those words seemed to be spoken normally by men, so why was she saying them now instead? But now she was no longer in the mood to dwell on such things, and to reassure Kennedy, Alice added
-Look, just now George offered me money to leave you and I didn’t even do it. Prove that I really like you, and I definitely won’t leave you.
Kennedy thought about it and told her, -Next time Jorge gives you money, you take it.
