Yanis’ thoughts really bothered Alice, and unfortunately Jack was next door, so she couldn’t say too clearly lest she convey bad ideas to Jack.
And Yanis, probably thinking that the light in the room was not good, went out again with his cell phone.
There was no telling where he went to find a suitable place.
When Kennedy didn’t return until noon, Alice thought, “How can he be so lazy? Nathan had gotten up early to bring the kids and he slept so late at the hotel? Is it because he hadn’t slept well the night before?”
Instead of seeing Kennedy, Alice saw Dylan Pliego from the Carlos Family to pick up Jack.
So Alice let Jack go with Dylan to behave himself in front of George Charles.
It was New Year’s Eve, but the house was empty.
Alice was so sad that she put her head down, touched her belly and whispered, -Baby, baby, baby, now you’re the only one left with mommy.

-Are you going to continue today? Didn’t I say yesterday that we have two days off? -Jason looked helplessly at Kennedy, standing in front of him, like a close friend he couldn’t stop advising over and over again.
He hoped his best friend would take a more conservative approach to treatment and not always take such dangerous measures.
-Yes, I’m continuing today. -Kennedy’s expression and voice were calm, unchanging. If it weren’t for the slightly pale face, Jason would have thought he was normal.
Jason couldn’t help but grimace, “Do you think this is useful?
-Isn’t that what you said? -Kennedy raised his eyes and looked at him coldly.
Even though they were good friends, Jason had always been afraid of Kennedy. After all, his look was always full of power.
He felt he had to give in.
-Forget it.
He stopped convincing him. They were old friends and he knew he couldn’t convince Kennedy, so he would have to take more care of him on his side.
When he finished, Kennedy was so cold that his pale face was a little worse than before. But he still hadn’t gotten anything.
On the way back, Nathan looked him in the face and asked, “Sir, if you go on like this, the lady will notice when we turn back.
-Then we won’t be coming back. -Kennedy said indifferently.
Nathan, “Not coming back? Then, in case the lady asks me, and little sir?
-The company’s been pretty busy lately. We’re not in the country. There’s no New Year’s. And I have to take care of company business during the day, plus rest at night.
As cruel as it was to say, the most urgent thing I wanted to do right now was to get my memory back.
But I didn’t want to worry Alice.
If she knew he was using this method, according to the woman’s character, she would definitely not let him go again, and then she would say that it didn’t matter if he regained his memory or not.
Nathan felt it was a lame excuse and said with difficulty, “Even if you are busy with work, you don’t have to not go home, do you?
-How?
Kennedy raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, “Do you have a problem with that?
In the face of their hard, cold stares, Nathan stepped back, “No, I don’t have a problem with that. I’m just thinking of a more perfect solution for you. After all, if you don’t come home every day, the lady will notice something strange.
-So now you have a better idea?
-No.
-Then do as I tell you so it won’t be found by her.
Maybe in a couple of days his memory would be fully restored, and then if Alice tried to stop him, he wouldn’t have to worry.
Nathan, -Okay, sir.
That was all that could be done for now.
All the New Year’s days were dull, and Alice got the news that Kennedy was busy at work and wouldn’t be home for a few days. Before she could whine, Yanis, who was standing next to her started to complain.
-What’s wrong with him? He has left his wife and child at home in the middle of the New Year, is he… crazy?
Yanis clearly lacked confidence when he said that last sentence. And he looked around to make sure that Kennedy was not here before he finished the sentence.
Nathan was also helpless, he had only come to pass on the message and could not say too much to hide the fact.
So when he had finished he had to leave.
But, he wanted to look at Yanis one more time.
-It’s understandable. At home it is New Year and abroad there are no traditional holidays in our country, so the company has to function. Sir is the president of the company, he has to set an example.
-What is the example? -Yanis made a disdainful pout. I don’t believe that a company of that size can’t function without him for a few days, doesn’t the domestic company function perfectly well without him? Even though the stock has dropped quite a bit, I don’t think taking time off will have much effect, huh?
-Besides, for us, this is the very important day to meet at home, but he? It’s not that I have a problem with the gentleman, I only advocate for Alice.
Yanis’ words hit the nail on the head, and Nathan also felt that this was not a convincing reason, so for a moment he did not know how to answer him.
Alice, on the other hand, remained calm at all times, while the others were too excited.
-Alice, why don’t you say something? You’re angry with him, aren’t you?
Yanis took Alice’s hand and said anxiously.
Alice looked up and patted Yanis’ hand comfortingly. She looked at Nathan and said.
-Is that what she told you?
Nathan had not expected her to be so calm either and did not know what was going on. He could only nod.
-Yes, that is indeed what he told me. And I will pick Jack up and take him from now on, so that he would be busy with the company.
-Good. -Alice smiled softly. Then it will be hard for you to carry Jack back and forth every day. By the way, if Jack stays well with Jorge, then let him stay with Jorge for a few days first, and then pick him up when his dad is done with his work.
Nathan agreed, and with the news he left for Kennedy.
Once he left, Yanis gritted his teeth and said, “Alice, how can you be so easy? Obviously that’s all a lie. I don’t think it’s believable to not go home for work.
Alice nodded, -I know it’s not believable.
Yanis’ eyes opened wide in surprise, -You know it’s not believable, but you?
-How do you think it is?
Who, Yanis froze for a moment before she knew Alice was referring to Kennedy, who, as far as she could remember, was not a bad person and had been quite nice to Alice, this time?
-Could it be that there’s a reason she suddenly doesn’t want to go home?
Alice said calmly, -Now it seems that his sudden offer to go out to a hotel with Nathan must have been premeditated.
Yanis could not understand and asked confused, -What do you mean, premeditated? Alice, did he cheat on you?
