Alice smiled bitterly, "Do I look like I have no future like this?"
She had been careful when he was ill; now that he was well, she was still careful.
"It's not that serious. It's just that you put your self-esteem too far away. This will affect your charisma as a woman." William said in a low voice.
Put your self-esteem too far away.
His mouth was so venomous that it hit the nail on the head.
Alice looked at him, and drank a mouthful of milk and said, "You also know women now?"
"What are you hinting at?" William raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with his sharp eyes, "Relax, you're the only woman I have, and the only person I, William, want to live my entire life with."
"I didn't mean that."
Alice frowned, she just continued with that sentence, she really didn't think about it too much.
William's thoughts now were more complicated than before. Did his EQ become higher as well?
"I'm going to the office. Are you coming with me? " William stood up from the dining table.
"Sure."
She was going to the gallery, too.
Alice nodded, she put down her cutlery and stood up, the food on the table had almost not been touched.
This was a scene that she had never seen before.
"My schedule for New Year's Eve is also full. I won't be able to accompany you during the day, so wait till night. At night, I'll celebrate the New Year with all of you." William said as he walked out.
"Alright, we'll wait for you."
Alice said, other than saying this, she did not know what else to say.
"When the new year is over, close the gallery. Painters should keep it a bit mysterious." William's tone was full of formality, as if he was instructing his secretary about something.
"Close after the new year? Why so fast, I like the gallery."
"Isn't it better to stay home and be a young mistress?" "Can we wait a bit longer?"
"When N.E. gets on the right track and our wedding will be on track, I don't have much time to prepare for it, so you might want to keep an eye on it. You'll have time if you close the gallery." William spoke even faster than before.
Alice followed behind him in silence.
His illness was cured, but his desire to control her was much stronger.
William turned around and shot a glance at her, pushed her against the wall, and pinched her chin, "What, you don't want to marry me? You don't want to have a home with me?"
He was extremely close to her, and his black eyes stared into hers, giving her the illusion that they were on fire.
Alice met his gaze, "Yes."
Why not?
How many years had she been waiting for him?
"Then close the gallery." William lowered his head, covered her lips, and gently kissed her. "After we get married, you will take care of the twins."
Hearing that, Alice's eyes lit up, "Would Cullen Family be willing?"
"You have been waiting for me for four years. Wait until the whole world knows that, if they still don't let me marry you, my reputation will plummet." William stuck to her lips and said, "They won't stop us from getting married now, and as long as I'm willing to inherit the Cullen Family, they have no reason not to let us take the twins back."
"Reputation?"
These words sounded strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Alice pushed his chest away, "Let's go, to work, I'll help you tie your tie."
"No need, it's not like I don't know that you only know how to do simple ties like that. I have to receive more guests today, so I need to be more serious." William said casually, his tone was flat, with no intention of detesting her, he only stated the facts objectively.
He turned and took a tie and tied it around his neck.
William looked at the mirror beside the door, and did not notice the lonely look in Alice's eyes.
Alice tried really hard to get closer to William, but it seemed like William didn't need it.
He had plans for their future.
He clearly divided their roles. He was in charge of earning money for the family. She was in charge of taking care of the family and being a young lady who lived like a prince.
It was a natural thing to do. Just like every couple, just like many normal couples.
Very normal.
He was so normal that she couldn't find anything wrong with him.
As she and William interacted in such a manner, William became normal. Their relationship also became more normal.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. It was a sunny day.
Alice stood in the shop, wearing thick clothes as she removed the pictures on the wall and placed them into the package.
The gallery should be ready to close.
She needed to collect all of these paintings as well.
Holy sat on the floor in the center of the gallery. There was a small table in front of him, with a brush in his hand, he was copying the simple calligraphy with no expression on his face.
"My flowers are going to wither again."
Kathy knelt on the chair in front of the table and hugged the glass bottle, looking at the floating flowers with a depressed expression.
"Kathy, do you need me to teach you how to take care of the flowers?"
Mr Palace asked as it walked towards Kathy.
"Thank you, but I want to see Dad."
Kathy hugged the water jar and sighed.
If she didn't give it away, her flowers would be completely ruined.
Kathy pouted. Suddenly, she remembered something, and her eyes rolled around. Alice was busy hanging up paintings, and Holy was practicing his calligraphy. No one paid attention to her.
Kathy carried the small water jar up.
