-All right, I’ll talk to her. I’m sure she’ll see me.
Kennedy nodded, -Thank you very much.
-That’s very polite, so even if you do something, I’ll talk to Alice for you,” she added, “But if it’s about another woman, you’re done for.
Raquel then went to Alice, who was leaning on the couch and didn’t want to move when she heard a knock at the door.
-Alice, it’s Raquel.
Alice realized that Kennedy must have asked Raquel to come to her rescue.
Then she couldn’t pretend to be absent, so she said, “What is it, Aunt Raquel?
-I heard you weren’t feeling well and I got a little worried. Do you need to go to the hospital? I can help you, Alice.
Raquel turned the doorknob, but the door did not open, as it was locked by Alice.
Alice struggled up in the chair, then walked to the door and asked Rachel.
-Did you come alone?
Rachel had hoped that she was worried about Kennedy’s presence and had sent him away, otherwise Alice would not have opened the door.
-Sure, tell me what’s going on and I’ll take care of it for you.
The door opened a little and Rachel peeked in but didn’t see Alice, -Where are you?
-I’m here… -Alice opened the door a little more and Raquel came in, then Alice quickly closed the door behind her, fearing that someone was following Raquel.
-Alice said, “Don’t worry, I know you don’t want to see Kennedy, or I wouldn’t have to come.
It had been two months since Raquel and Alice had seen each other since Kennedy regained her memory. Since then, Rachel had been living with George and sometimes accompanied him abroad.
And then Alice still had a normal belly.
Raquel couldn’t help but laugh, -Alice, why have you put on so much weight?
She didn’t continue so as not to hurt Alice’s pride.
Alice blushed and turned away embarrassed.
-Don’t laugh at me, please.
Rachel stared at her, -But, it’s only been two months since we’ve seen each other.
Said Alice reluctantly, -I guess it’s because I do nothing but eat and sleep, but I wasn’t like this when I was pregnant with Jack.
-Is that why you don’t want to see Kennedy?
Alice nodded awkwardly.
-To be honest, I’d like to have the baby myself somewhere else if possible.
Alice lost her figure when she was pregnant with Jack, but she recovered after a while.
But she was living alone at the time, so she didn’t care what others thought.
And now with Kennedy by her side every day, she became increasingly anxious.
-Nonsense. If this bothers him, you don’t have to stay with him. After all, having a baby is hard work and you need company.
-But… -Alice looked at his thick arms and calves in frustration.
-Come on, don’t worry, you’ll be fine after the baby.
Raquel continued talking to Alice, who finally agreed to face Kennedy.
Kennedy saw Rachel in the doorway and instantly approached.
-Did Alice tell you why she’s ignoring me?
Raquel’s mouth was already dry, -Water, please.
Kennedy didn’t move.
Raquel raised an eyebrow and said purposefully, -Don’t you want to know what Alice told me? Or don’t you want to see her at all?
Kennedy frowned and went to pour Raquel some water.
Raquel finished the water and put down the glass to find Kennedy looking at her coldly.
-Can you tell me now?
-What? Are we enemies? What can you do even if I don’t tell you?
Then he added, -Well, I’ve made it clear to him, and tonight he’ll let you in the room.
But Kennedy still didn’t know why Alice had ignored him for the past few days, so he asked, -So why doesn’t she want to see me?
-It’s a secret. If you want to know, ask her yourself.
