Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2236

Alice looked out of the window. Summers in Lemmon City were very hot and stuffy, but her heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat again. During the period of her return, she had figured out one thing. Even if they were not fated to be together, she was still very happy to have met Henrick.

That was because she had been really happy when she chased after him all those years.

When she had his children, she was also happy. She thought, "This is what love looks like." She liked him. What could she do? Love was always like this, a combination of pain and happiness.

She thought that maybe in another time and in another place, they could be fated to be together.

When she was about 16 years old, she took a plane to another city to see the person she liked. Because she cherished and liked him too much, it led to more pain later.

She just liked him; what did she do wrong? That was how she comforted herself and let herself walk out of it slowly.

Now, she had experienced her father's good intentions. She could really face all this calmly in her current state of mind.

She thought that life was like this. Only when she took the first step bravely could she dare to think about what will happen in the future.

In the past, she was only persistent in love, but never humbled by it. In the process of loving that person, she had found happiness.

Looking out of the window, her gaze gradually became distant. Looking at it, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

In a banquet hall in River City, it was the most relaxing night for everyone that night. The final party that was being paid for by the company was an all-you-can-eat buffet.

After Dwayne passionately gave a speech and wished for high ratings, everyone dug in and enjoyed themselves.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone had a good time.

According to Henrick's instructions, Josue kept an eye on Candice and Ellie's every move all night. He was afraid that he would miss something, so he secretly arranged different people to keep an eye on them.

Alma was wearing a beautiful, light golden dress that night. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her crystal earrings reached her collarbone, making her look very beautiful.

She had always been by Henrick's side, toasting him. Her smile was gentle and elegant, making her look even more charming.

Candice had always been very satisfied with Alma's appearance, which was very suitable as the heroine.

Ellie had been watching everything from the side. Everything was for the sake of that night.

There were not many investors invited that night. As Henrick was the Second Young Master of the Alwynn family, no matter where he went, he was very popular. There were always people coming to toast him. Despite this, no one found that he had been holding a glass of water instead of wine.

After toasting, he went to get some food that he liked and sat with Alma face to face.

"Henrick, you're in a good mood tonight." Alma lowered her head and ate a small piece of steak.

He also smiled and looked at her with a deep gaze. She was very beautiful that night, but the more he looked at her, the more he found that she looked very ugly. From the bottom of his heart, he found that he was right.

Her innocent face exuded a pure and charming aura. Unfortunately, he could no longer admire her.

He nodded slightly and thought for a while. He was not in a bad mood. "I'm in a good mood indeed. The work is done, so I can have a good rest for a while."

He really needed to have a good rest and deal with his affairs.

"Henrick, will we still have a chance to cooperate in the future?" Alma asked tentatively; his answer would also help her decide what she would do that night.

He lowered his head and ate. The steak from this place was good, but it was not delicious compared with the famous restaurant in River City.

He took a bite of steak and said slowly, "Let's see how it goes in the future. However, I don't want to be an actor anymore. I've already gotten the awards I wanted to win."

He thought for a moment, and his dark eyes were full of longing. He said with a gentle smile, "I will have something very important to do in the future. I promised Martin a TV series. After that, I may retire from the industry."

In the future, he would accompany his children and... Alice. Of course, as long as she agreed, their relationship could be cultivated slowly.

The process from shock to acceptance of having children only took a few minutes.

Over the years, he had been busy chasing his dreams and wandering around. He had done what he wanted to do. It was time for him to settle down and take responsibility for what he should do. Alma looked at him in shock. There was a serious look on his handsome face, and no one could tell whether he was joking or not.

Acting was his lifelong dream. Right then, he actually said that he would give up on his dream.

"Henrick, how can you do that? This is what you've always wanted." She was shocked. He wanted to quit acting. She really felt that he would never make such a choice in his life. She knew how much he loved acting.

He smiled. "Why can't I? Sometimes, giving up requires more courage than persistence, but I already have what I want. I can't act too passionately anymore."

He glanced out of the window and muttered to himself, "I'd prefer to explore the unknown future."

He thought that he would have a better life in the future.

His mother always said that a life with one's family was perfect.

He finally believed that sentence.

Only those who knew how to satisfy others and had enough patience could have a confident future.

At this time, the drinks in their glasses were almost finished.

A waiter came over with drinks, and Alma waved to him.

The waiter smiled and walked towards them. Alma picked up one of the glasses and placed it in front of Henrick. It was the watermelon juice that he liked. She also took a glass of orange juice for herself. She looked at Henrick with a smile. "Henrick, drink some watermelon juice. Don't you like it very much?"

He looked at her with a deep gaze. In front of her, he drank most of the watermelon juice.

Alma also drank half of the orange juice in her glass excitedly.

Henrick ate another piece of steak. He felt very hungry that night, so he got up and went to get some more dishes.

As for Alma, she felt that something was wrong with her body. She felt so hot that she was about to sweat. She also felt like her body was extremely empty and in need of comfort.

Henrick didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Alma. He lowered his head and ate up the food on the plate before gracefully wiping his mouth. Looking at Alma, whose face was flushed, he said with a strange smile, "Alma, you don't look very well. Let me take you back to your room."

She was in a trance. She felt that something was wrong, but she finally nodded obediently.

He helped her to the elevator. Seeing this, Ellie, who was not far away, smiled with excitement.

At the thought that she would have countless money in the future, she was very happy. Seeing that Henrick and Alma were about to leave, Josue quickly got up and chased after them.

When the three of them entered the elevator, Henrick was pushed into Josue's arms by Alma, who was in a trance.
