Dylan stood alone in front of the door and after ringing the doorbell stood patiently waiting.
He wouldn’t have had a chance to get in, but he finally showed his identity to get in.
Of course, a district security guard came after him for security reasons.
He didn’t know how long he stood there, but the door finally opened.
Dylan finally saw Kennedy as well, and with a slightly excited expression.
-Sir, I’ve finally found you.
Kennedy looked at Dylan, the butler, and said faintly.
-Dylan, what is it?
When he finished, his eyes went back to looking at the security guards behind him.
Only then did the district security guard realize that they knew each other and said, -So you really are acquaintances, then I’ll go down first.
After the ward security guard left, Dylan smiled sheepishly with his old face and said quietly, -Sir, I never got an answer to your cell phone, so I had to come down here myself.
Hearing that, Kennedy’s eyes turned a few degrees colder.
-I know what you want, I’m not coming home today.
-Sir, he’s your grandfather anyway, and it’s not right for you to behave like a child.
Kennedy frowned. Like a child? He was an adult now. By doing so, he was simply showing George that he wanted to do something and wouldn’t change his mind, no matter what.
Even though he hadn’t known Alice for a long time.
But Alice gave him a feeling that filled the emptiness inside him, and once he lost it, he felt his heart was lost too.
In this life, there was no way he could abandon her.
-“To tell you the truth, Mr. George is not in very good shape and he said … that if you don’t come home tonight he might… -Dylan continued again.
Speaking next, Dylan sighed, -I’ve followed Mr. Jorge for so many years that I can tell he’s not kidding. Anyway, even if you have to fight your grandfather, you’re a junior and there are times that….
Dylan paused and said no more.
He had said enough, how could a man as smart as Kennedy not hear him clearly.
Kennedy’s lips tightened at the corners and he sneered, -If I get engaged today, will there be more and more situations like this in the future? Does my grandfather think this has a soft spot for me?
Dylan didn’t answer.
It didn’t seem unreasonable for him to say that.
-Go away.
Just as Dylan was about to say something else to persuade Kennedy, a soft female voice came from behind him.
Dylan looked toward the source of the voice.
Kennedy also turned toward the back with a simultaneous frown of displeasure, -Why don’t you stay in the room.
Alice was standing with a coat, then slowly approached and nodded toward Dylan.
Dylan nodded back as well.
-He said, “Go home, you’re a junior anyway, even if you want to fight with your grandfather, you can’t be so undisciplined.
Kennedy stood still, his brow furrowed without quite stretching.
-Sir, think about it, if you always do this to the Chief, he’ll only resist Miss Alice more. To tell you the truth, Zoe is in our house and I heard something when I was outside just now. Miss Zoe said she couldn’t commit to you, but just wanted to see you and have a last word with you.
-Any of this has anything to do with me? Can she commit herself just because she wants to? -Kennedy scoffed.
At this point Alice tugged on his sleeve.
-Go ahead, like Dylan said, if you break up with your grandfather for me, you’ll only make your grandfather hate me more.
Alice took a few steps forward and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips: -For the moment I’ll stay awake, go and come back quickly, I’ll wait for you here.
The words were spoken so softly that they went easily into Kennedy’s heart, and he paused slightly as his deep gaze rested on Alice’s face.
-And not worry that I won’t come back?
Alice shook her head.
-You wouldn’t.
The girl’s gaze and tone were firm and there was no doubt, there was great confidence in Kennedy.
Having her confidence, Kennedy unconsciously reached out and tapped her on the nose.
-Spréame.
-Okay.
On his way out, Dylan gave Alice a grateful look: “Thank you for your words, miss.
-Dylan, you’re too kind, I don’t want your relationship as grandfather and grandson to deteriorate because of me either.
-You know what you do, and I hope Mr. George likes you.
-Thank you.
Kennedy then told her to lock the door and not to open it at night when she heard the doorbell and to wait for his early return.
Alice reassured him, after which Kennedy left behind Dylan.
When the people left, Alice went to her room and got under the covers to lie down, only to remember what Dylan had just said.
Had he said that Zoe wanted to see Kennedy one last time and then not commit to him?
Alice suddenly sensed something wasn’t right. The last time she had met Zoe, she hadn’t seemed like someone who would give up so willingly.
What was the reason for this sudden change of heart?
Was there some kind of conspiracy here?
After thinking about it, Alice wasn’t sure, so she pulled out her cell phone and called Anthony.
Anthony was still outside hanging out when he received Alice’s call, and rushed off next door again to answer it, leaving those around them unable to resist complaining.
-Why is Anthony calling so much at night lately? -What’s wrong?
-I’m still not sure.
-Ugh, I miss the old days.
Anthony found a quiet place to take Alice’s call.
-Sister-in-law, calling me at this hour, is it something important?
-Well,” Alice told Anthony the whole story of what had just happened. I’m a little worried, but I can’t intervene, so….
Anthony immediately understood what she meant.
-Don’t worry, I know what needs to be done, and you’re right in your assumption, I too think there’s something wrong with Zoe’s approach. How could she give up on Kennedy so easily, based on her character, I think it could hurt Kennedy ….
At these words, Alice’s breath caught.
-I’ll rush to the Carlos family now and try not to alert the others and take a look first.
-Can I come with you? -Alice thought about it.
-No, sister-in-law, it’s too dangerous if something really happens …. but don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll protect the Kennedy when I go and send it to you absolutely intact.
Alice knew what he meant, she was a girl, she wouldn’t be much help and might even cause trouble, so in the end she had to say yes.
