Jensen paused as he recalled Candace's words. She hated the fact that he was a poor policeman.
Looking at Alice's apologetic look, he shook his head.
"It's okay, I didn't think much of it. It is a blessing to be with you, Alice."
"How could that be?" She shook her head in turn. "I'm very hot- tempered and very stubborn. You've always been the one tolerating me. I'm pretty clear about that."
"No, Alice, you're amazing," Jensen responded. "Although Candace's words are harsh, I am indeed a poor policeman. I can't give you a wealthy life and I have always put you in danger. These are facts."
Alice froze, and then smiled. "I don't need wealth. I just want to be with you. I'm used to the days of having you by my side, Jensen."
He touched her back and patted her gently. He looked into her eyes, and knew that she had really accepted him.
She no longer had the thought of leaving him, and that was a good thing for the both of them.
It was just that Candace was really difficult to deal with. There was also the hidden danger that Jodie brought to Grace, which had not been eliminated.
If Grace's danger had not been eliminated, both she and Heinz would not live a good life, and Alice would be more worried about them. He would also worry about his best friend, Heinz, and he would worry about Alice even more.
After all, she could only take so much.
As he thought of this, Jensen's gaze dimmed. He was so worried that his lips were pursed into a straight line.
"I have to speed up the investigation," he stated.
"I believe in you." She nodded. She held his face as she looked at the man who was filled with worry, and started to comfort him, "Jensen, don't worry. Things will get better eventually."
"That's right, everything will get better." The two of them comforted each other.
Even so, Alice still noticed the worry in his gaze.
She had no choice but to use the alcohol in an attempt to comfort him.
As soon as she lowered her head, she kissed Jensen's lips.
His whole body froze, and he caught a whiff of the red wine, making him feel intoxicated.
He tightened his arms and held Alice.
The two of them were in each other's embrace.
Feeling the throbs brought by the gentle girl in his arms, Jensen felt very satisfied and happy.
Something had changed inside of him.
He suddenly became domineering, and he couldn't hold himself back anymore after tasting her.
Jensen held Alice tightly, stood up, and walked into the bedroom.
Officer Charm, who was usually calm and had amazing self-restraint, had started to act like a young man who was passionately in love whenever he met Alice.
He set her on the bed.
The blush on her face indicated that she was slightly drunk, and that she trusted him enough.
He looked down at her, only wanting to dote on this woman.
Needless to say, the both of them enjoyed the night together.
After that, she laid on the bed, feeling as if her entire body was weak.
Jensen held her in his arms, and she soon fell asleep.
It was already past midnight when the phone rang.
