Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2252

"Dad, you can chat with Mom. I'll go study with Malon." Juliet looked at her brother with a smile.

The twins shared a tacit understanding and went upstairs.

Alice was lost for words. Had she been abandoned?

Her mother was like this, and so were the children?

In the large living room, only Henrick and Alice were left.

Alice was very nervous. In contrast, as a man, Henrick was much more shameless.

With the help of his son and daughter, he felt that everything would go smoothly.

Alice was wondering what kind of excuse she could come up with to drive him away. She hadn't thought of a reason yet, so he spoke up. "Alice, I know you still hate me." Henrick's voice was bitter and filled with self-blame, but more than that, he was filled with regret. Alice looked at him fiercely and said in a harsh tone, "You know I hate you, yet you still come to me. Hurry up and leave."

After saying that, she also found a reason.

She was afraid that she would be hurt all over again.

She was afraid that she would fall into the abyss again and could not crawl out. That kind of feeling was too painful.

Henrick pursed his lips and looked at her deeply with his dark eyes. He really wanted to say to her, "Alice, retribution came. After you left, I found that I liked you." Seeing that she couldn't get used to the food in River City, and seeing her suffer from gastritis, he couldn't fall asleep all night.

After she left, he was restless everyday and could not sleep nor eat well. He thought that he was sick, but Martin told him that he had fallen in love with Alice. However, he couldn't say those words now.

Alice didn't feel safe enough.

He had to wait for the right time to confess his love.

He was an actor, so he couldn't go too far. If he did, Alice would think that he was acting and wouldn't believe him.

Because she cared about him, she got together with him. Because she cared about him, she became cautious.

Henrick looked at her with a bright and moving smile. In Alice's eyes, such a smile could always arouse her heartstrings.

"Allie, I just came to Lemmon City. Can you accompany me to have a look around tomorrow?" Although his uncle also lived in Lemmon City, he preferred Alice to take him around, which could strengthen the relationship between them.

However, Alice sneered and responded, "Mr. Henrick, since you've come to Lemmon City, do you need me to show you around? As far as I know, your uncle has developed very well in Lemmon City, and he can do whatever he wants in Halton District."

Henrick was stunned. She knew that too.

"But I want you to take me there," Henrick spoke very seriously, and his dark eyes were like the night sky, which held a deep and fatal attraction for her.

Alice suddenly looked away, fearing that she would fall in love with him. She refused directly, "But I don't want to take you there."

Henrick was speechless. This was bad. What should he do if she wasn't convinced?

Alice's phone vibrated. She saw that it was a call from Brenden.

She glanced at Henrick and answered the phone in front of him.

"Hello! Brenden." Her tone was also very gentle.

Henrick's heart skipped a beat and his gaze darkened as well. How could she speak so gently to another man?

"Oh, okay. I'll send you a message about the party tomorrow night."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, see you tomorrow night. Goodbye!"

Alice hung up the phone and looked at Henrick. "Why aren't you leaving yet?" Her voice was not polite at all.

Henrick rubbed his nose and didn't dare to look straight at her. He felt that he wasn't thick-skinned or capable enough.

If men weren't bad, women wouldn't love them!

He had to be thick-skinned. "I... want to chat with you."

Alice sneered and stared at him. "Do you think we can chat?"

Henrick replied, "Yes, yes, yes. We have the children to talk about. Allie, didn't you say that I could communicate with the children?"

"Alice, I missed the time when the children were growing up, so I'm very sad. You also know what happened to me and my mother and when I was a child. My children had the same experience as me. Do you know how I feel about the children's existence? My heart feels like it's been cut by a knife."

"But from now on, I won't miss their growth."

Henrick's tone was frank, but it was more solemn and filled with pain.

Alice knew everything about Henrick and his childhood days. She knew that in order to ensure that his mother didn't work too hard, he had worked hard in acting.

He was a man who was naturally suitable for working in that industry. What was his acting like? That was why she had fallen deeply into his trap.

"Alice, can you show me the photos of the children when they were little?" He wanted to know what his son and daughter looked like when they were younger. Although a family like the Clarke family would not let the children suffer, without the care of their father, the children would more or less feel sad and lost. Moreover, Alice protected them very well and let them live happy lives.

Alice did not reject his request. She knew very well how much the children needed their father.

Apart from being a scumbag to her, Henrick had a good character.

"Go to the next room. There are videos there." Alice got up and went forward.

Henrick followed her quickly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Night times in June were very hot, and even the air was filled with waves of heat.

Looking at the tall and elegant Alice in front of him, Henrick's heart skipped a beat.

He gently raised the corner of his mouth. His heart beating for his beloved was like this. He felt very warm and very happy!

It was the first time that he had come to Alice's place. It was a completely different style of decoration from the one next door.

The villa where her mother lived was decorated in a kind of antique style. As for Alice, her house was very fashionable. The light yellow color of the villa made the house look very warm. The white European furniture had a unique style and was full of warmth and elegance.

When they reached the living room, Alice poured a cup of tea for Henrick and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go get the flash drive."

"Thank you, Allie." Henrick sat down with a smile and looked at her.

Alice didn't say anything. She turned around and went upstairs to get the flash drive and album.

Every time the children had their birthday, she would record a video and take them to take photos to commemorate the event.

The growth of children could not be repeated, so she was very careful to experience all these things with them.

Henrick looked at the things in the living room. There was a yoga mat not far away with his daughter's hair accessories on it.

There were a few bags of different-flavored potato chips on the low cabinet next to the sofa.

Victor had said that when he first met Marlon, the child had a nosebleed because he ate too many potato chips.

In the video sent to Henrick by Eden, he also saw Marlon eating potato chips while watching TV, looking very cute.

Who did he inherit that from? Oh, Henrick remembered. Eden; she liked potato chips. She liked them when she was younger, and even now, she still liked them very much.

Victor would often buy snacks for Eden to make her happy.

Looking at all this now, he seemed to understand what his father had said. Love was not a casual word, but a beginning of a new chapter of life. Even a small matter could move the person he loved.
