Hearing his questioning tone, Alice hugged her pillow tightly and looked at his furious face, "Are you angry that I didn't tell you immediately, or angry that I stopped David?"
"Is there any difference?" William stared at her and said, his voice becoming heavier, "This is a matter of the Cullen family; shouldn't I make the decision? Why are you doing so much?"
Why do so much.
Yeah, she did so much; she was nosy.
She tried her best to hold it in as she said, "Charles said that mother's situation isn't too good, and that someone has to take responsibility for everything regarding the Cullen family, so she can be at ease. I don't want that person to be you.
She couldn't think of a better way.
She admitted that she was being selfish, but if she had to choose again, she would do the same.
"Destined?" William repeated her words, and then let out a cold laugh, "Alice, you think you're perfect just because you did that?"
Alice bit her lips.
"Alice, am I not enough for you to trust me? Why didn't you be the first to tell me such a big thing? " William stared at her.
Alice blinked twice, moisture appearing on her eyelashes. "If I were to tell you, you wouldn't let your brother stay."
She knew this too well.
William had deep feelings, respect, and hate for David, but in the end, he was still willing to let his brother live a carefree life.
"So you forced my brother to stay?"
William immediately stood up from the bed, his bare feet stepping on the soft blanket as he glared at her.
"I didn't force him."
Alice said softly.David was willing to follow her;if he really wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"He feels too much guilt towards me. If you say so, will he come back?" William glared at her, gritting his teeth, his anger building up, "Alice, why do you love to make your own decisions? I don't need you to be like this for my own good!" he shouted.
When Alice heard this, she couldn't take it anymore. She put the pillow on the ground and ran into the bathroom, closing the door tightly and locking it shut. She stood in front of the washbasin with her head lowered, letting the tears fall as her hands trembled.
Actually, when she made this decision, Alice had expected that she would be blamed, but she never expected that he would be so angry.
"Bang bang."
The bathroom door was slammed a few times.
"Open the door!"
William shouted unhappily from outside.
Alice couldn't tell if she was feeling wronged or guilty, but she felt incredibly sad. She lowered her head and cried while clenching her teeth tightly on her lips.
Tears did not run down his cheeks, but fell directly into the sink.
"Hey, come out, what are you doing hiding inside!" William said loudly, "I only said a few words and you lock yourself up; what do you mean by that?"
Alice closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing her tears. She used a towel to wipe his eyes, then stepped forward and opened the door.
William stood nervously at the door, staring at her with his eyes. When he saw that there were no tears on her face, the nervousness in her eyes subsided, and he turned his face away, "I thought you were crying.
"What would you do if you were me?"
Alice stood there and asked, her voice somewhat choked.
If William stood in her position, what would William do? Could it be that he wouldn't look after her first?
"Naturally, we listen to my man!" William stared straight at her, pointing at her with his finger, "Alice, you still don't know where your fault lies!"
With that, William turned and left. He did not even bother to put on his shoes and left barefooted.
Alice stood there and looked at his resolute back. She bit her lips hard and bit down hard, tears still flowing down her face.
William said that she still did not know where she was at, and very quickly, Alice found out.
David's return allowed him to expand his happiness, and allowed him to see hope.
At night, the family sat together for a rare meal.Elizabeth sat at the main seat, and Alice sat beside the two children.
William's expression had not changed since the moment he had David stay behind.
As for David, Alice had never known him to be a man who was good at talking and laughing with others. Previously, she had only felt that he had a kind of gentle temperament, but it was also a little gloomy as she had never heard him speaking so much.
Elizabeth could not stop smiling at what David was saying; she turned to look at the two children who had a puzzled look on their faces, "This is your father's older brother, called Uncle."
"Uncle."
Kathy sat there and called out sweetly, while Holy looked at him with a bit of surprise.
"Good boy." David smiled and replied, "Kathy is so cute. I have a present for you. I'll get the maid to give it to you later."
