Alice remained in the same spot in the corridor as she glanced at the leaving Neil. A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
That kid was no fool. He knew she would do something to them if she was no longer their main caretaker, so he forcefully turned Joshua’s decision around. The reasons he gave made it irrefutable!
At the thought that she still has to pretend to look after the two of them in the future, Alice was inexplicably angry.
As she eyed Neil in a dazed state, Joshua furrowed his brows and flatly called her, “Alice.“
Alice jolted a little and immediately came to her senses. “Let’s go.“
Joshua took Alice to a cafe near the hospital.
It was the only time he had ever taken her there after their marriage.
Before marriage, he did not understand her enough. He only knew that she was a lady madly in love with him. Because of how his family urged him to marry and coupled with pressure from work, there was a time where he was depressed for most of the day.
She was like a little sun that came next to him, brightening up his life.
She drew for him, gave him little gifts, and sang unfamiliar tunes to him.
Later down the road, he treated her as a friend and started confiding in her.
When they talked about their views on marriage, she thought for a very long time. Then, she grabbed his arm and looked at him with her huge watery eyes.
“You think that marriage is a burden to you, but I think that marriage is blissful. If I could marry you, I’d be elated.“
Her naivety amused him. “If I say that I wouldn’t fall in love with you, will you still be willing to marry me?“
