Alice couldn't believe it. They met for the first time after many years, but Michelle treated her like this.
She thought it was ridiculous. Human nature was really terrible.
"So, you asked your brother to check about me." Alice's tone was much colder.
She was afraid that every single detail about her life would be investigated by Henrick's brother.
Henrick looked at her suddenly changing mood and was a little nervous. "Allie, how could that be? My brother didn't know about us before. I just told him about it. Besides, we've known each other for so many years. If I want to inquire about you, do I need to ask my brother who's abroad?"
"Don't forget that our son and daughter will also tell me your preferences."
Henrick murmured in his heart, "Juliet, Marlon, I'm sorry. In order to make your mother happy, I have to betray you."
Juliet replied, "As long as Dad and Mom are together, you can sell me out, Dad."
Marlon replied, "I don't mind as long as we all can understand each other."
Of course, that was all later on.
Alice's expression was becoming colder and colder. She had raised two little traitors, and they had both betrayed her.
"And... Besides, Allie, I've also been carefully observing your preferences. You like to eat spiced beef, shrimp, fish, duck, and other things. You don't like to eat any innards and you hate anything that smells funny..."
Henrick kept talking about his understanding of Alice. When she sat down, she found that what he said was true.
She immediately felt much better.
When she got out of the car, she said to Henrick in a nicer tone, "Goodbye!"
Henrick said that he would come to pick her up after work, and she happily agreed. They agreed to go directly to the party from here.
He told her not to bring a gown as he had already prepared one.
Alice left happily.
Henrick sat alone in the car, giggling foolishly.
"Haha..." He hadn't been so happy for a long time.
After laughing in the car for a long time, he called Josue.
"Mr. Henrick." After resting for a while, Josue felt like he was about to die. After receiving Henrick's call, he was barely able to cheer up.
"Yes! Has the dress I told you to be prepared been delivered?"
When Josue heard this, he immediately perked up. "Mr. Henrick, Madam has already sent it over. There are ten sets, not just one. Madam also said that if Miss Klein likes it in the future, just say it. She has always personally designed clothes for Miss Klein."
"Haha..." Henrick laughed. "Josue, my mother is really a good mother-in-law."
Josue thought to himself, "Is there such a person who talks about his mother like that?"
Josue also smiled in agreement. "Mr. Henrick, Madam is very kind, and so is Miss Klein. She will definitely get along well with you in the future."
"That's for sure. Josue, take all ten dresses and wrap them up in gift boxes. Bring them over for Allie to choose in the evening."
"Ah... All... Do you mean bring them all here?" Josue blushed. Even if Henrick doted on his wife, there was no need for him to spoil her so much, right?
"It doesn't matter. You can start preparing from now on. I will come back later. I have to go to my uncle's house today as he's basically almost nagged me to death. I felt like my ears were burning when I spoke to him early this morning."
Henrick thought that it was still early, so he decided to have lunch with his uncle, Delmont, and visit the children by the way.
His voice was a little cold. "Alice, don't worry. I'm here."
Alice looked at his delicate profile and questioned, "How can I not worry? It's all because of you, and this is a problem that resulted because of your appearance. If you hadn't gone that night, Michelle wouldn't have said anything, and I wouldn't have found that there was something wrong with our friendship."
"Henrick, all conflicts start from interests."
Although she knew that it was not Henrick's fault, she couldn't help saying that.
Henrick remained silent as he felt that Allie was right.
Everyone had ambitions, but they were different.
After a long time, Henrick sighed and said, "Allie, I can't stay away from her. We'll be together in the end and we'll have to face your friends in the future, won't we? It'll be easier for you to see her true colors as soon as possible."
Alice glared at him and admonished, "You have a glib tongue."
Henrick smiled and didn't say anything. He thought to herself, "It doesn't matter as long as you like it."
When they arrived at Halton District, Henrick took Alice to the presidential suite on the top floor. At the door, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Have you booked the presidential suite?"
Henrick smiled and answered, "Alice, don't worry. This is my uncle's hotel."
Alice was speechless. Their power and influence were truly terrifying.
"Alice, let's go in and you can choose a dress first."
Henrick swiped the room card and brought Alice in.
In the past, she would have been very nervous if she had been alone with him like this. Now that she knew him, she felt much more relaxed and comfortable. Now, she had no more burdens in her heart.
