Actually, those questions from Kennedy frightened Alice, because they might be hints that he had already discovered the truth hidden by herself. “Could it be that he is groping me to confess?” thought Alice with furrowed brows and tight lips. In a few seconds, she replied dissembling annoyed -How is it possible! Where did you get these weird questions from?
Kennedy met her eyes and said, “What about your question?
Kennedy’s calm reaction convinced Alice that he still didn’t know her secret. Then, she became calmer, and told him, -Nothing, nothing. It just came to me out of the blue.
She gripped Kennedy’s hand tightly and added, -But, seriously, if one day you really find out something unacceptable about me, please give me a chance to make the explanation to you, okay?
Kennedy contemplated it for quite a while and finally accepted it. Alice felt a little more relaxed and agreed, “Promise is a promise.
One day, Anthony came to visit Alice in the hospital with Lolita, which surprised Alice. As far as she knew, they were “enemies “who hated each other. But… after a few weeks, they were getting along miraculously. What a fate!
After greeting Alice by asking about her health condition, gossipy Lolita couldn’t limit herself to telling Alice gossip, -I have great news for you! Can you believe that Anthony has suffered for a chick? Me, no way! To me, he’s a playboy one hundred percent. He just wants to have fun playing with women. I have never imagined that his current way of being is a disguise to hide his sentimental wounds.
Lolitata’s words took Alice by surprise, so she started to exclaim, “You don’t say! Any girl can make Anthony fall in love? Don Juan suffers from love too?
-Yes to everything! You know what? It was that day when Kennedy took you in his arms. I saw that Anthony and Zoe …- Before Lolita could finish the sentence, her mouth was covered by Anthony, who kept eavesdropping on the conversation.
Anthony wanted to prevent her from divulging her embarrassing story, so, apart from covering her mouth, he also made an effort to drag her out. At the same time, he looked at Alice, and smilingly explained, -Don’t believe her nonsense. She loves to publish fake news. What she just told you, you can’t believe a single comma!
Lolita tried to get out of Anthony’s grip, but she was too weak compared to him. Therefore, she had no choice but to use all her strength to stomp on his foot. Anthony’s eyes almost popped out and a loud scream was heard. Lolita took that moment to pull away from him, and ran to another side. Then, after seeing him so suffering, she became cheerful and joked, -You should have asked me not to speak, but without touching me! Did you want to harass me?
However, Anthony was in so much pain that he didn’t manage to reply.
The “fight” between Anthony and Lolita brought a lot of vitality to this room, and a lot of grace to Alice. Not everyone thought it was very funny. Kennedy, who was on the other side watching his computer, took it for unbearable noise. He looked melancholy with a frown on his face.
Actually, he was about to say something to reprimand them, but caught a glimpse of Alice’s smiling face. During the hospital stay, Alice had recovered a lot, but her mood, not yet. She always looked melancholy and worried, and thanks to the visit of Lolita and Anthony, who brought her much joy.
“Maybe Alice likes this atmosphere.” Kennedy thought so and stopped feeling the annoyance.
Anthony and Lolita had been bickering for quite a while before they realized that Kennedy was also present, elsewhere. They became alert and stopped instantly, worried that their “little game” had annoyed “His Bad-tempered Majesty”. As they tried to get a good look at Kennedy’s expression, he glanced at them. Perhaps he had perceived their gaze.
Kennedy gave them his usual cold stare that made Lolita and Anthony’s hair stand on end. Lolita was so frightened that she hid behind Anthony. Her slim figure was completely hidden behind Anthony’s strong body, which protected him from Kennedy’s terrifying stare. Poor Anthony! He had to face that stare alone, without any shelter.
-Kennedy, don’t be angry, making noise to upset you was not our intention. We were doing our best to make sister-in-law Alice happy. You should understand us and be a little more tolerant,” said Anthony with a slightly embarrassed smile. He immediately turned to Alice and gave her a wink as a signal to ask for help.
Alice who was feeling amused collaborated with Anthony by making the echo, -I got a good laugh out of it. To me conversation is no noise at all.
In this case, Kennedy relented and forgave them for Alice. He looked at Alice and found her eyes clear and clean, as pure as spring water, apart from the fact that they were full of tenderness and love. No man could resist the charm of these eyes.
Kennedy moved the lump in his throat, and the anger in his eyes was transformed by love and tenderness. After gazing at her for a long time, he looked at Anthony and Lolita, and said gravely, “All right, you may go now.
Anthony was happy, but angry: happy that he had dodged Kennedy’s torture, angry that Kennedy had explused himself, sacrificing friendship to be with Alice alone. With Alice’s presence, especially her support, Anthony could turn tricks against Kennedy’s will. That’s right. It was what Anthony decided to do. He said, -We still want to chat with sister-in-law Alice. Besides, we’re in no hurry. It’s a perfect day to have lunch together. Alice! What do you say we have lunch together?
“Lunch together? Finally! It’s going to end the incessant silence in this room, how nice,” Alice thought. She immediately nodded her head, but her mouth was slower to utter that “Yes,” which left Kennedy to beat her to the answer.
Kennedy stood up abruptly and replied in a wry tone, -Of course! I’ll help you move a restaurant into this room, how’s that sound?
Anthony’s smile froze immediately, while Lolita behind him didn’t dare to let out a breath as he was frightened of Kennedy’s stare. Kennedy approached them, and wanted to forcefully throw them away. At that moment, Alice grabbed his wrist, signaling him not to be so aggressive. In this way, Kennedy was able to soften his tone a little and asked, “In a little while, our maid will bring lunch, but only for two people. Would you like to stay and watch us eat?
No doubt Anthony got the idea that Símon insisted on having a two-person world and didn’t want to be bothered by anyone. He wanted to continue to confront him but desisted for fear of having to suffer for offending Kennedy. It was at that moment that Lolita asked in a whisper, -There is a very good restaurant, shall we go together?
