Hearing the sound, Alice suddenly raised her head and looked at the door.
He was dressed in a dark suit, probably he just came in from outside, and he looked a bit dusty. Where'd he go?
Alice had that doubts seeing him
But when she saw the face similar to him on the screen through the corner of her eyes, her face changed and then she pretended to be calm and turned off the video.
Jack blinked his eyes and Alice disappeared on the screen.
Then he looked back at Yanis who eating apple on the sofa and asked, “Yanis, why there is no video?”
Yanis swallowed the apple, got up and walk to Jack and saw Yanis’ message.
She thought for a while, and then said to Jack, "Jack, your mommy has bad signal, so the video automatically interrupted."
"Bad signal?" Jack looked at Yanis with pure eyes.
Yanis looked at his eyes and felt guilty to deceive him so she looked away and gave light cough.
“Jack, you mommy is in the hotel abroad, the signal may be bad. We will talk to her later. It is late and you should take a shower and do your homework."
Jack pouted and snorted.
"When we lived abroad, we have been to a lot of hotel, I don’t feel the signal is bad."
"You." Yanis heard that and gave a poker face, "What are you talking about? I told you the signal is bad, are you suspecting me?"
"Hum." Jack looked up at Yanis, "You are fierce to me. I will tell mommy when mommy comes back."
Yanis, "... Well, now you've learned to complain? Tell your mommy them? Do you think I'm afraid of her? See if your mommy will scold me?"
After that, Yanis embraced her, pretended to be frightened and said, "I am afraid!"
Seeing that, Jack could only say, "forget it, mommy is not in the country now, it is no useful to tell her. I will call Uncle and tell him you are fierce to me......"
Jack jumped off the chair and ran out.
Hearing that, Alice’s face changed and she froze.
Three seconds later, she turned around and shouted, "Who did you say you are going to tell? Jack, come back!!"

After hanging up the video, Alice opened the work panel as if no one was watching and pretended that nothing had happened.
With long fingers bouncing on the keyboard, Alice asked casually, "You are back."
Kennedy was walking toward her, when he heard her words, he stood looking at her quietly.
The woman was sitting on the big bed in the room, with his notebook on her lap, and her pretty fingers working on the keyboard.
As she had not gone out, she was still in her nightgown, pale blue set off her fair skin. Her soft black hair was tied in a random bunch and hung down at the back of her head. She had a clean face without makeup and picked lips.
This scene gave Kennedy a warm feeling.
He was like the husband who went out, and she was like the wife who stayed at home and waited for him.
He opened the door and saw her sitting there waiting for him to return.
Kennedy became softhearted.
Perhaps because he was quiet, She looked up at him from the computer screen.
