Alice and Brenden hadn't finished eating by the time Henrick and the others came out.
"Brenden, why don't I give you a chance to perform? Next time, I'll let you cook. I'll wait for you to feed me."
He smiled and looked at her with a proud smile. "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"
She pointed at herself and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm greedy. I want to eat everything. Only after eating can I have the strength to lose weight."
He retorted, "Nonsense. Only a reasonable diet can make you strong, but I haven't seen you gain weight in the past few years. In this case, I have to be prepared to feed you for the rest of your life." The last sentence was said half-jokingly.
She pretended not to understand.
He stopped talking about the topic. He knew that she would understand.
"Why don't I go for a morning run with you tomorrow morning?"
"Sure, but can you get up? I remember that someone likes to sleep in in the morning," she teased while eating with a bright smile.
Henrick, who passed by them, happened to hear these words and saw her happy smile.
She was really obedient. Seven years ago, he told her not to appear in front of him. She really never appeared again.
He pursed his sexy lips and left the restaurant with Alma without looking at Alice.
When Alice looked up, he saw their backs. At that moment, except for her heartache, there seemed to be nothing left.
Alice, you have no backbone. How can you go back on your word? You said you didn't love him.
Why did it hurt so much? It was so painful!
After Alice went back after lunch, Dwayne called her and shared some of his opinions with her. After listening to him, she planned to go back and make some changes to the script.
If she continued to stay in the company, not only would she not be inspired, but her heart would also hurt.
She, who had fallen into love and despair, seemed to fall into the abyss again.
In the afternoon, after handing the matter over to Brenden, Alice left the company directly.
She admitted that she was running away. She still needed some time to digest this matter.
She also warned himself in her heart that this was the last chance for her to take a breath.
After the production of this drama, she thought that she would never come to River City again. She would never have any contact with that man again.
The Clarke family also had a property in River City. Bert knew that his daughter would work here for a period of time, so he specially arranged an apartment close to the company for her.
She walked home. Even in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly. The pedestrians were in a hurry on the way, and only she was there. She walked very slowly. She didn't know what was wrong with her; she seemed to be sick. Everything around her seemed to be automatically separated from her. She couldn't hear what the people around her said, and she was in a daze.
She didn't know how she got back to the apartment. It wasn't until she laid on the big, soft bed that she realized that she had returned to the apartment. Her heart instantly relaxed. Looking at the crystal lamp on the ceiling, her eyes became a lot blurred.
There were tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. She raised her somewhat weak hand and gently wiped her tears. She was a little shocked; she actually shed tears. Except for that night seven years ago, she never shed tears. When she gave birth to the babies, she chose to give birth naturally. The doctor said that her physical condition was very good and she was so lucky to be able to give birth naturally. She had been in pain for a day and a night, but she did not shed a single tear. She looked forward to the arrival of the children and hoped to meet them and raise them. At that time, apart from excitement, no tears fell.
However, that day, it seemed that she wanted to shed all the tears in the past seven years at once, and her tears could not stop flowing down.
The sound of sobbing echoed in the room.
