Alice sat down opposite of William, and smiled at Daniel: "Foster father, sit down to eat?"
"Miss Alice, this is against the rules."
Daniel immediately said, his eyes looking at William, and indeed he saw William 's face becoming colder.
"It's New Year's Eve today." Alice insisted that Daniel eat dinner together, "Father, every year, the two of us will have New Year's Eve meal together, please sit down."
She could not treat Daniel as a mere butler.
William looked at Alice and spoke coldly, "Are you speaking to me? If you want to reward Daniel, I will have the best chef to prepare a table of New Year's Eve food for him, but rules are rules, he cannot go onto Master's table."
"I'm not his master."
"You are my fiancee."
"Yes, we are unmarried, so we are also independent." Alice understood that Daniel would not go against his words, so she stood up and said, "Then I will also eat standing."
"I want to eat standing up too!"
Kathy was not yet old enough to look at people's faces, and seeing them she thought they were having fun, and immediately stood up from her chair.
"Miss Alice!"
Daniel looked at Alice in shock. Why would she want that?
The consequence of angering the young master. Daniel looked at William, but William did not smash the table and stand up, only that his expression had turned colder.
The atmosphere was tense.
After a long while, William stood up from the dining table, looked at Alice and said, "I still have matters to attend to, I will go back to the company first."
He had to go.
Alice's body stiffened.
"Young master, this is a reunion dinner." Daniel immediately stood up and said.
Hearing this, William's face revealed a hint of hesitation.
Seeing that William was not determined to leave, Daniel immediately suppressed Alice back and whispered, "Miss Alice, Miss Kathy and Young Master Holy are still here.
With that, Daniel retreated back, "Young Master, please take a seat. There's still some stewed fish in the kitchen.I'll go take a look."
Alice sat down stiffly, and her eyes not focused at all as she looked at the dish.
Seeing that she had sat down, William sat back down at the dining table, his long fingers holding onto his chopsticks.
It was New Year's Eve.
Wasn't there a saying? It was the new year, so anything could pass.
Alice wanted to pick up her chopsticks and start eating, but William looked at her sternly," Alice, you have to be more sensible in the future, if you do this, Daniel will not be grateful to you. I hope that you can only focus your attention on our future family.
Alice endured it and did not say a word, continuing to eat.
William picked up the chopsticks with a piece of vegetables between them and placed it on the plate in front of Alice. Alice looked up at him and said, "Eat."
He was calm and unperturbed.
It was as if there was no dispute between the two of them.
Did this mean that he was looking for a way out of this predicament?
"Yes."
Alice agreed in a low voice. Since there were steps, she might as well go down, and she couldn't possibly continue arguing with the children ,and there was no meaning in arguing with them even if she won.
Holy sat at the side and looked at the two of them with a pair of large eyes.
Kathy ate happily, and she stood on the chair, holding onto the table with one hand and giving a spoonful of food to William with the other, fawning on him, "Dad, eat some food."
"Sit down." William raised his eyebrows, and looked at Kathy, "Why don't you have the slightest bit of Cullen family's rules on you?"
"This is not the Cullen family."
Kathy pouted.
Just like Alice, she seemed well-behaved and sensible on the outside, but there was always an unrestrained energy in her bones, unwilling to be controlled or bound.
William put down the chopsticks in his hand and began to slowly teach Kathy a lesson.
Every time he spoke, Kathy would silently shrink back a little.
The more he spoke, the more she shrunk.
Alice's phone started to vibrate. She put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips with a tissue and casually took a look at her phone. It was Anne.
She picked up the phone and got up from the table. "Hello?"
"I am Anne .1-1 have something to say to you." Anne 's voice sounded drunk and hesitant.
"What are you trying to say?"
Alice asked, a little puzzled.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I'll have to tell you." Anne said excitedly, "I feel that you are too pitiful. You have waited all these years for nothing!"
"What are you talking about? Have you been drinking? Aren't you going home to celebrate the new year? I'll pick you up."
Alice said. Anne sounded drunk.
"I was just at home. My heart felt sad so I drank some wine. No, I'm not upset. I'm upset for you." Anne said incoherently, "You don't know, I overheard that the CEO and that Lancaster's eldest miss have an appointment to get a room the next day, and I even saw that woman sitting on the CEO's lap,so
close,"
Hearing that, Alice 's body completely stiffened. The hand she holding the phone was unsteady, and her face had lost the color, leaving only a pale white .
Her mind was blank.
William's voice came from behind.
Alice suddenly didn't know where she was. Her entire body was ice - cold, as if her body wasn't hers.
Mona sat on William 's lap? They even arranged to get a room?
