"— On what basis?" William carried her and continued to step on the footprints.
He didn't ask why, but — why?
He was good to her, why wouldn't she let him do it?
Alice was speechless, and she lowered her eyes to look at his neck.
The temperature in the morning was very cold. Even though she was wearing a windbreaker, William's body was obviously covered in sweat, and the color of the collar of her shirt was a little dark.
Alice bit her lips to prevent herself from thinking too much.
However, she clearly knew that something was slowly changing in her heart. She didn't want to, but she couldn't control it.
Carrying her on his back, William finally made two neat footprints on the beach.
Alice looked at it, she thought that if she were to measure it with her ruler, it would definitely be in a straight line.
She wanted to get down, but William refused to let her do it. He continued to carry her and walked in the direction of the wooden house.
William only let her go after he went to the bedroom that was prepared for his at the resort. He laid on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Pour me a glass of water."
William said, as his black eyes looked at her deeply.
"Oh, okay."
This was probably the first time William was the most willing to let her do something.
She had just pressed his arm, and it felt like it was going to go stiff. It showed how tired she was with his back.
Alice went outside to pour a cup of water. When she returned to the bedroom, William was already asleep on the bed.
He laid there, and just like that he fell asleep. The thin lip closed its eyes, and its breathing was even.
He was very tired.
Alice understood. She put down the cup of water, took out a clean blanket from the cupboard and covered William with it. Then, she turned around and walked out.
He was very tired.
He was not sleepy at all.
When Alice walked out, she heard the sound of a helicopter flying in the sky, and raised her head to look.
Daniel stood not too far away and was currently making a phone call, directing the people in the helicopter. "You must take all of the young master's portraits, and make them more beautiful."
Such a loud noise.
Alice walked over and could not help but ask, "William is still sleeping, wouldn't it disturb him like this?"
The beach was very empty and quiet, and the sound was especially loud.
"Young master said that when Miss Clyne wakes up, we can shoot it by air." Daniel said, "Otherwise, if the time is too long, the painting will disappear from the beach."
Alice was startled.
William said that he would take an aerial photo when she wakes up. So, the reason he didn't take the photo last night was because she was still sleeping?
Why did he do so much?
Such a domineering and self-righteous man would actually be afraid of disturbing her to sleep.
Alice bit her lips, raised her head and looked towards the helicopter, her eyes filled with suspicion, and turned to leave.
"Miss Clyne, do you still want to rest?" Daniel's voice sounded from behind her.
Alice stopped, turned her head, and shook her head, "What's wrong?"
She had had enough sleep.
Right now, she was extremely clear-headed because of the shock that William had brought her. She almost didn't know how to face it.
"Miss Clyne, if you have enough rest, you should be able to learn some oceanic knowledge in the next two days. After that, you can go dive with young master." Daniel said.
"Alright."
Alice nodded.
The person who taught her how to dive into the sea was a staff member of a resort. It was a five — star resort with a professional oceanic teacher.
In the classroom, there was only Alice.
The teacher taught her on DVD, one on one.
There were a few staff members serving by the side who would occasionally serve Alice with fruits, cakes and milk.
It was a completely VIP service.
Alice sat there listening to her teacher's explanation, her learning attitude extremely serious.
An hour later, seeing that she had a certain understanding of the deep sea, the teacher called for a break and took out the DVD.
The TV screen turned blue.
The class opened with a blue screen.
"Is there no signal from the resort?" Alice casually asked.
Shouldn't TV be playing after you quit DVD mode?
The worker at the side was a young girl, upon hearing that, she immediately complained to Alice, "That's right, I don't know why, but it will definitely send the Mr. Cullen's order, and our vacation area's signal will be gone, no television will be able to watch it."
Another girl followed, "Also, we were afraid that if the whereabouts or photos were to be leaked, our computers and phones would all be turned in. The Mr. Cullen has sent people to search and make sure that there is no electronic equipment that can be used to contact the outside world."
Alice was stunned, she did not know that there were actually such things.
Miss Clyne, who do you think still doesn't use their cellphone? The young girl had a dejected expression.
The other girl looked at Alice pleadingly, putting her hands together in front of her, "Miss Clyne, can you help us talk to Mr. Cullen? At least give us back our phones, we have signed a confidentiality contract, we guarantee that we won't leak anything!"
As she spoke, the two girls raised their palms and swore to her.
Alice was left with no choice but to laugh and say, "Alright then, I will speak with William later to see if he is willing to go through with it. But I can't guarantee it will success."
After all, no one knew what kind of result William's temper would give out.
