"—Miss Alice needs a name?"
"You make it sound like I'm trying to get a name." Alice laughed bitterly, "Steward Daniel, let me put it this way, I need a simple home."
"I don't know if you can understand. I was abandoned by my birth parents and then expelled by my foster parents." Alice said bitterly, "If I am unable to have a home of my own in this lifetime, I think, I will never be willing to give up even if I die."
She longed for a home.
This desire had been growing in her since she was young. She would not easily change it.
"..."
He would never be willing to give up until death, because she wanted to have a family.
It was a simple wish, but it could not be fulfilled by the young master, unless one deceived himself into believing that the home of a mistress was also home.
It was clear that Miss Alice would not think this way.
Daniel looked at Alice, and did not say anything for a long time.
The rain was falling heavily outside.
They were both silent.
For a long time, Alice heard Daniel say, "I think, that if it wasn't for that incident, Young Master might really have refused to enter the marriage just for the Miss Alice."
"What?"
Alice was startled.
What does that mean?
Daniel sighed and said, "Do you know anything about young master's brother?"
"I know." Alice nodded.
William's brother had his car destroyed and killed on the way to meet him.
"They have always been on good terms. Young Master is easily angered. Only Elder Master can calm him down." Daniel said, "That year, Young Master liked shooting stars the most, so Young Master invited him over. I never expected Young Master to get into a car accident."
Alice still felt sad to hear this story again.
However, she found it hard to imagine what it would be like for William to have such a good relationship with a person.
When Daniel thought of the Young Master, he could not help but draw a cross as he prayed.
After a while, Daniel slowly said, "The Cullen family only has two sons. With Eldest Young Master gone, the responsibility of marriage naturally falls on the young master's shoulders. Moreover, the young master has always been brooding over Eldest Young Master's death.
Alice understood, "You mean he...?"
"The sense of responsibility from a great family is heavy. Young Master is shouldering the responsibility for Elder Young Master, like making Elder Young Master's unfinished N.E. system number one in the world."
Alice was a little shocked.
These were things she did not know.
There was actually such a reason.
"Speaking of which, I hope Miss Alice will not misunderstand the feelings Young Master has for you. Some people truly have no choice." Daniel sighed and said, "If Miss Alice cannot guide Young Master, at least, do not enrage him anymore."
"As an old man, I am begging you."
With that, Daniel bowed deeply.
Alice was shocked, she immediately stood up, "Steward Daniel, don't be like that."
"Please promise me." Daniel bent his waist and could not get up, the strands of gray hair appeared in Alice's eyesight.
Alice could not bear to see him beg her at such an old age, her lips moved, "Alright, I understand."
She will try.
Try not to anger him.
"Thank you, Miss Alice." Daniel straightened his body and smiled, and continued, "Then regarding the matter of Miss Rosanna and her son, please do not mention to Young Master anymore."
He really didn't want to go out again and again to rid the damaged furniture and order new ones.
He was completely tormenting his old bones.
"Well, I don't know how."
"Miss Alice knows more than I do, don't you?"
Daniel laughed.
Alice remained silent. Does she know? Perhaps, as long as she does not try to cut off their relationship, William would not be affected.
What about her?
Was she going to lose her freedom forever like this?
"The young master went smoothly since he was young, but the responsibilities he has are not something anyone can understand. Please don't put too much weight on him."
Daniel sincerely pleaded with her.
"He has such a bad temper, and you still defend him like this?" Alice looked at the strands of gray hair on his head and asked.
Wasn't it enough for the steward to do what the steward should do?
"In the British Cullen family, there is more than one butler. Internal fights are common, I do not like to fight." Daniel smiled gently and said, "When Young Master left, he only took me. From then on, I recognized Young Master to be his servant."
"The young master has a bad temper, and he doesn't want to do it. It's like when a person is sick, or when he's in pain, he doesn't want to do it, because he can't control himself."
Daniel had done his part as a butler too well, she could not refute what he had said.
"Young Master locks himself up in his study room. Please go and have a chat with him."
"Let me think."
Saying that, Alice walked out, and leaned against the wall, Daniel's words echoed in his ears...
"Do you know, Miss Alice, this is the first time Young Master called a doctor from Cullen family? He has never called anyone to treat him even when he's sick."
"Maybe in the eyes of the Miss Alice, what young master has done is not enough. But in my eyes, Young Master has changed a lot for Miss Alice."
"Young Master is shouldering the responsibility for Eldest Young Master, just like how you made Eldest Young Master's unfinished N.E. system number one in the world."
"Speaking of which, I hope Miss Alice will not misunderstand the feelings Young Master has for you. Some people are truly unable to control themselves."
He couldn't control it.
