She should not have been like that.
"You are the best version of yourself," Jensen said while holding her face in both hands. "In future, I won't allow you to slander yourself. You are not allowed to do that, understand?"
"I want to help you," she said. She couldn't remain guarded against that man. "Jensen, even though I couldn't successfully do it with you, I think there may be other ways."
Jensen was taken aback by her words, and his eyes were full of unspeakable complex emotions. His deep gaze made him look even more charming and indifferent at the moment.
"Alice," Jensen said after a long time. "I can endure it."
"I don't want you to endure it anymore," Alice replied with eyes full of tears.
He wanted to do it.
But she couldn't do it with him.
However, she wanted to sincerely comfort him.
She thought that she could at least do that.
Jensen's eyes widened instantly and he looked at her in disbelief. She actually reached out her hand towards him.
Once again, he was surprised.
This girl... she was really warm-hearted. She had a heart of gold, which was rare and precious.
"Uh!" Jensen took a deep breath and held her little hand.
Alice lifted her eyes and looked at him shyly.
There was a glint in his deep eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'll teach you."
"Yes!" Alice nodded while blushing.
Jensen then lowered his head and kissed her affectionately.
Finally, both of them progressed to the point where Jensen felt a kind of happiness after being comforted.
However, after experiencing that, he felt extremely sorry toward Alice.
"Alice, I'm sorry." After a long time, he held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I didn't hold back."
"It doesn't matter," she replied while shaking her head. She felt better after that episode.
She felt very happy that she could use that method to repay Jensen.
After all of that, it was already eleven o'clock.
"Wait for me. I'll prepare something for you to eat," Jensen said softly. "You must be hungry."
"Yes, I'm a little hungry." Alice replied, "I want to eat some noodles."
"Okay," agreed Jensen.
"By the way, are you free this afternoon?" Alice asked.
"I have a meeting at two o'clock at the police
station," he replied.
Alice paused for a second and said, "Then, can I stay here?"
"Of course, you can," Jensen said in surprise. He wished that she would stay with him every day.
But on second thought, he felt that Grace might worry about her.
"What if your sister is worried about you?" Jensen asked.
"I'll give her a phone call," Alice said. "Let me call her now. Where's my phone?"
"It's outside the room. I'll get it for you," Jensen replied and got up to go outside.
After a while, he brought her mobile phone into the room.
"I'll make you some noodles. Go ahead and call your sister," Jensen said.
"Okay," she replied.
When Jensen went to the kitchen, Alice called Grace.
At the Emerald Apartment.
Right after Grace had peeled some apples for the children, the phone rang.
At that moment, Heinz entered the kitchen.
Grace passed the plate of fruits to him and said, "Take this out. Alice is calling me. I'll pick up the call."
"Okay," Heinz replied and took the plate out. Then, he put it on the table and asked the two little guys to
eat the fruits.
Grace answered the phone call and walked towards the room.
