Alice closed her eyes and felt his warm embrace.
At this moment, she truly experienced the embrace she had always dreamed of.
For so many years, she had wanted to hug him, and she lost track of how many times she had thought about it.
"Henrick, do you know? On many lonely nights, especially when the children were sick, I always wanted you to hug me like this. I wanted you to comfort me and give me some courage to go on." Alice couldn't go on. She quietly looked at his hands, which were slender, with firm knuckles.
She just wanted to enjoy that moment quietly.
"Alice, I know I'm many years late, but I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make up for it. Give me a chance, okay?" There was a pleading tone in Henrick's voice.
Alice turned around and looked at him. The two of them were facing each other. That was the first time that she was so close to him. In her clear-headed state, she bravely looked straight at him.
Although he was drunk that night, his intimate actions were clearly imprinted in her mind.
Every time she thought of it, she would blush and her heart would race.
"Henrick, if I hadn't given you a chance, would you have been able to hold me like this? You want me to give you a chance to pursue me, right? I chased you for more than ten years, but you've only been chasing me for a few days. Are you so impatient?"
After saying that, Alice blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of him with some grievance and nervousness. For the first time, she had mustered up the courage to say such words.
He didn't know that it had taken her a long time to muster that courage.
Her body was soft and very warm. Henrick held her in his arms and was reluctant to let go. Especially when he saw her aggrieved expression, he wanted to hold her and kiss her, so that she could feel safe and warm in his arms.
Her words made him even happier and excited. He felt that his blood was surging, as if he had just been resurrected. He would be able to sleep well that night.
The power of words was so strong. Just a few simple words could make people feel as if they had been reborn.
"Allie, I'm just afraid of hurting you. I've always been patient."
"Allie, I will always be by your side. I will always be with you. Don't worry. I will always stand behind you from now on. Every time you look back, you'll be able to see me." I will always love you.
"Okay!" Alice gave him a sweet and stunning smile. "Go back and have a rest!"
Henrick nodded, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips, shocking her. Then, he left, satisfied.
Alice waited for Henrick to leave before she realized that he had bullied her again.
She blushed. When she returned to her room, she received a video call from her son.
"Marlon, it's late. Why haven't you slept yet?"
Marlon excitedly raised the camera and showed it to his mother. "Mom, look. Grandma asked me to stay in Dad's room and said that she wanted me to be familiar with Dad's past. His room is really big. This place is like a palace. I wandered around for a whole day before I learned my way around. It's too big here."
"Mom, everyone here likes me very much. I received a lot of gifts, and there are some for Juliet too. I will bring them back when I return."
"Especially Grandma and Grandpa, they're so happy to see me..."
Marlon kept talking happily, very much resembling a bird on a tree.
Alice couldn't help but smile.
