Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2283

Alice closed her eyes and felt his warm embrace.

At this moment, she truly experienced the embrace she had always dreamed of.

For so many years, she had wanted to hug him, and she lost track of how many times she had thought about it.

"Henrick, do you know? On many lonely nights, especially when the children were sick, I always wanted you to hug me like this. I wanted you to comfort me and give me some courage to go on." Alice couldn't go on. She quietly looked at his hands, which were slender, with firm knuckles.

She just wanted to enjoy that moment quietly.

"Alice, I know I'm many years late, but I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make up for it. Give me a chance, okay?" There was a pleading tone in Henrick's voice.

Alice turned around and looked at him. The two of them were facing each other. That was the first time that she was so close to him. In her clear-headed state, she bravely looked straight at him.

Although he was drunk that night, his intimate actions were clearly imprinted in her mind.

Every time she thought of it, she would blush and her heart would race.

"Henrick, if I hadn't given you a chance, would you have been able to hold me like this? You want me to give you a chance to pursue me, right? I chased you for more than ten years, but you've only been chasing me for a few days. Are you so impatient?"

After saying that, Alice blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of him with some grievance and nervousness. For the first time, she had mustered up the courage to say such words.

He didn't know that it had taken her a long time to muster that courage.

Her body was soft and very warm. Henrick held her in his arms and was reluctant to let go. Especially when he saw her aggrieved expression, he wanted to hold her and kiss her, so that she could feel safe and warm in his arms.

Her words made him even happier and excited. He felt that his blood was surging, as if he had just been resurrected. He would be able to sleep well that night.

The power of words was so strong. Just a few simple words could make people feel as if they had been reborn.

"Allie, I'm just afraid of hurting you. I've always been patient."

"Allie, I will always be by your side. I will always be with you. Don't worry. I will always stand behind you from now on. Every time you look back, you'll be able to see me." I will always love you.

"Okay!" Alice gave him a sweet and stunning smile. "Go back and have a rest!"

Henrick nodded, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips, shocking her. Then, he left, satisfied.

Alice waited for Henrick to leave before she realized that he had bullied her again.

She blushed. When she returned to her room, she received a video call from her son.

"Marlon, it's late. Why haven't you slept yet?"

Marlon excitedly raised the camera and showed it to his mother. "Mom, look. Grandma asked me to stay in Dad's room and said that she wanted me to be familiar with Dad's past. His room is really big. This place is like a palace. I wandered around for a whole day before I learned my way around. It's too big here."

"Mom, everyone here likes me very much. I received a lot of gifts, and there are some for Juliet too. I will bring them back when I return."

"Especially Grandma and Grandpa, they're so happy to see me..."

Marlon kept talking happily, very much resembling a bird on a tree.

Alice couldn't help but smile.

"Marlon, be obedient and don't worry your grandparents," she reminded her son. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, he went to an unfamiliar environment alone. It was a good thing that he could adapt so quickly.

"Mom, Grandma said that we are a family, and that this is also my home. She asked me to treat it as if it's my own home, so I did. Grandma said that if I didn't do so, it would be like I was an outsider. Mom, Grandma is so gentle. I like her very much. Aunt is also very nice and she also chats with me a lot."

"Grandma and Grandpa cooked for me tonight, and they made French fries, fried chicken and chicken stew. They were all the dishes themselves so they're a lot healthier than usual."

Marlon felt like he was the happiest child in the world.

How could he not be happy when a big family loved him?

Looking at her son who was overwhelmed with happiness, Alice felt as if she was bathed in happiness and couldn't walk out. She couldn't help laughing.

"Marlon, your grandparents are very busy. Don't pester them often. They have a lot of work to do everyday."

"Mom, you're wrong. Grandpa took me to visit Alwynn Group early this morning. Grandma said that she'll take me to visit Symantec Group tomorrow and let me broaden my horizons. It just so happens that it is also my purpose to come here. I must go and have a look." Marlon's purpose was very simple. He had always been very clear about what he wanted to do.

Hearing her son's words, Alice felt much more relieved.

After ending the video call, she took a shower and rested with a smile. She always felt that her life was full of hope.

......

In the past two days, Henrick had truly felt that Alice was really willing to give him a chance.

He felt that he was getting closer to Alice.

That made him feel much more at ease. When he had nothing to do, he always liked to follow Alice around. When she went to the company, he would send her there and pick her up from work in the evening.

A handsome guy suddenly appeared beside Alice, but he just hid in the car and didn't want to come out.

On the other side, Alma spent a lot of money to find out where Alice's family lived. She also knew that Henrick came here to pursue Alice, who was the mother of his children.

That news made her feel like a bolt from the blue. She had lost before the fight even began.

At night, the neon lights shone. Alma and Jaime went to a club to discuss business.

Coincidentally, the person they met this time was Michelle and her father. Michelle was wearing a red dress, which made her look charming.

Halfway through the business conversation, Michelle said, "Miss Parma, I heard that you and Mr. Henrick have been filming a TV series together. I also like him very much. We have a party tomorrow night, and Mr. Henrick will come over. Why don't we not discuss business tonight? Can you tell me about Mr. Henrick?"

"I just came back from abroad, and I like him very much."

Alma was stunned. Ever since she knew that Henrick had come here for Alice, she had been unable to find a way out. It seemed that tomorrow night was an opportunity.

She smiled and nodded.

Jaime didn't expect that Michelle would do this when the deal was going well.

Michelle's father, Grayson Church, also glanced at his daughter.

He looked at Jaime apologetically and said, "Mr. Jefferson, my daughter is so interested in chasing stars. She just came back from abroad and doesn't know the rules of business. Don't lower yourself to her level."

"There will be a party tomorrow night. It's my daughter's welcome back party. You can come over and sign the contract tomorrow night."
