Anyway, as soon as he saw her tears, Kennedy knew immediately that he was wrong this time.
He could only hug her and keep apologizing.
In the silence of the room, Kennedy’s apologetic voice was the only one that echoed, as soft as if he was afraid of scaring Alice. In addition, a few sobs could be heard.
Alice wouldn’t stop crying, that’s why Kennedy was so remorseful he wanted to kill himself.
-It’s all my fault, I’ll do whatever you want when I come back. You can do anything you want to me, okay?
Alice didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t help it then. And the more he said, the harder it was for her.
People were like that.
When no one cared for you or loved you, you’ll just hide and treat your wounds alone.
On the other hand, you will fall tears easily and become vulnerable.
Right now it was the latter.
When she hadn’t seen him, she was calm and collected.
But when she saw him, she became as fragile as glass.
Alice took a deep breath, when ready to wipe away all her tears, Kennedy suddenly leaned over and kissed her. Very surprised, but it was too late to push him away.
Then salty tears slid down her cheeks and into her mouth.
The kiss changed in the other meaning.
One second, two seconds…
Alice reacted by reaching out to push him away, then he grabbed her hands and pulled them behind him, continued kissing her.
The tears stopped at some point, probably stopped by the sudden kiss, or maybe because enough crying had already happened.
I don’t know how long it was before Kennedy released her.
He leaned his forehead against hers, said with his dark eyes and thin, pale lips, -I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, forgive me, okay?
Alice’s mind was a little disoriented by his kiss. When she heard him say that, she looked up at him and saw his eyes. He obviously hadn’t slept well lately.
His chin was also covered in fuzz and his face looked bad.
From one look you could tell he’d had a very, very bad time recently.
Alice bit her lip, -If you ever, ever do such a thing again. I will never forgive you again. Then I’ll take Jack and the baby in my belly and go away together.
Hearing this, Kennedy narrowed his eyes slightly, “No!
-I mean, if you ever do anything like that again…..
-I won’t. -Kennedy interrupted her and said decisively. Since you don’t like it, I won’t do it in the future.
With this, Kennedy looked at Alice standing nearby, and could not resist a little longer to kiss her again, lightly and affectionately.
After kissing her lips, he felt a little dissatisfied and moved closer to her face to rest his lips on her forehead, his voice husky, -I’ll never do it, I always listen to you.
It was a very romantic thing for a man to kiss a woman’s forehead, but Kennedy had never done it.
Alice’s heart softened so much that her body became soft and she snuggled into Kennedy’s arms.
-Well, you promise.
-Yes, I promise.
Alice lay back in his arms and closed her eyes. She hadn’t seen him in a week.
After a long while, she couldn’t resist asking him, “Is it true that you want your memory back so badly?
Kennedy thought of course she did, if she didn’t want her memory back, why did she have to suffer through all this? But Alice didn’t want him to do any of those things.
So she said, -As you say, the past isn’t that important, and now it doesn’t matter about the memory.
Alice looked up, -Really? I mean if you really want to get your memory back, maybe, I can help you.
-Right?
Kennedy looked at her doubtfully.
Alice broke away from his embrace, looked him seriously in the eyes and said, -Come back to the country with me.
Back to the country?
-There, the place where we experienced everything together. You come back with me and I’ll take you to the places we’ve been before, the roads we’ve traveled, the things we’ve done before. One day, I’m sure you’ll remember.
Jason had mentioned this approach before, but at the time Kennedy considered it unreliable and wondered how long it would take to recover.
But now that Alice had broached the subject, Kennedy thought it was a good idea.
He could stay with her and resume his relationship with her, and maybe get his memory back, so why not?
-Okay.
Kennedy agreed after a moment’s thought.
Alice froze, as if she hadn’t expected Kennedy to say yes so quickly, and was a little surprised, -Do you really want to get back together with me?
She only gave advice and didn’t expect him….
-Your grandfather…
The Carlos family was so powerful, it would certainly be better for him to stay here than to come back and develop, and besides his grandfather probably wouldn’t allow her to take him back to the country.
-I’ll take care of all the external factors, you don’t have to worry.
Alice, however, was still a little hesitant, -But….
-You were so firm when you told me to go back to the country, why are you hesitating now?
-Because, I didn’t expect you to say yes so quickly, I thought you wouldn’t come back with me.
Kennedy was silent, and her brow furrowed tightly.
It turned out that she was so afraid of him.
No, it should have been because of a deep lack of trust in him, that’s why she thought he wouldn’t come back to her.
At the thought, Kennedy took her hand, and looked at her affectionately.
-Don’t hesitate or worry, I’ll listen to everything you say. I didn’t mean to keep it from you this time, just in case she might be worried, nothing more.
Alice knew, of course, that he had kept all this to himself because he didn’t want to worry, and also for fear that she would keep it from him.
He frowned, -Why do you suddenly want your memory back so fast? You were fine before.
There was always something strange about being too desperate.
-Did someone say something to you?
Kennedy was again very sad as he remembered the words Jack had said.
This, naturally, Kennedy could not tell Alice and had to deny it.
-No, I just don’t think it’s fair to you that I’ve lost my memory.
At those words, Alice couldn’t help but give him a reproachful look.
-What’s so unfair about that? I didn’t say anything myself, so what are you thinking? Do you know what’s most important to me right now?
What?
-It’s you. -Alice reached for his arm and bit her lip for a moment before saying slowly. From the moment of your accident until now, all I want is for you to be safe. Before that I wanted you to get your memory back, but that was based on the fact that you didn’t like me. Then we got together and I realized that whether you remembered or not was not important.
