Chapter 2264
Henrick smiled at her gently and continued to y football with Marlon.
Alice''s heart beat wildly when she saw the tenderness in his eyes.
She immediately turned around and scolded herself as she walked, "Alice, you''re really hopeless."
She looked at the setting sun in the distance. Her blushing face and rosy lips were cute and
charming, and her eyes seemed to be as clear as water.
Alice didn''t know what was wrong with herself. Why was she so nervous and shy when she was far
away from him?
She paced back and forth, trying to suppress the panic in her heart. She felt that as long as Henrick
was around, she would not be able to live a normal life.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang, and Alice was startled.
She quickly grabbed her phone and saw the caller ID. She smiled and said, "Michelle."
"Alice, I''m back. Do you have time tomorrow night? Let''s meet up."
Alice was very excited. "Michelle, you''re finally back. Okay, where should we meet? I''ll go and find
you."
Michelle suggested, "Let''s meet near Halton District. I heard that it is developing very well. I just
returned to the country and want to go there. I will send you the location of the restaurant.
Remember toe over."
Alice nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Michelle, I''ll be there on time tomorrow night."
Michelle agreed, "Okay, Alice, we haven''t seen each other for a long time. It''s been three year since
I went abroad."
Alice only felt that time had passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
To be honest, she didn''t have many friends. Apart from Giada, whom she had grown up with but
rarely met, her other best friend was Michelle Church.
"Hehe..." Alice smiled happily. "Michelle, let''s meet at five o''clock tomorrow."
"Okay, Alice, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Alice paced back and forth happily. The joy of Michelle''s return diluted
the panic in her heart.
She was even looking forward to the arrival of the following night. If she met more of her friends,
she might be able to suppress the strange feeling in her heart.
The following day, Alice really avoided bumping into Henrick.
Henrick had guessed that Alice would do this because she was shy.
Every time he thought of this, he wanted tough.
Juliet secretly told him that her mother would be going to Halton District to meet a friend whom she
hadn''t seen for several years that night. Maybe she would drink again. His daughter''s secret
reminder made Henrick feel refreshed in an instant.

At three o''clock, he began to stand in a secret corner on the third floor. Watching Alice dress up
beautifully, he felt very upset.
Alice said that she was going to see her best friend whom she hadn''t seen for three years. What did
she dress up so beautifully for?
Watching Alice''s car drive away, Henrick clicked on the locator button and asked Josue to drive the
car out. He went back to the house, changed his clothes, and turned to go downstairs.
It was still very hot in the evenings in Lemmon City. However, dark clouds covered the sky, signaling
that heavy rain wasing.
As soon as Alice entered the parking lot, it started raining heavily.
She nced at the umbre in the co-pilot seat. Although it would not rain often now, it was not
wrong to bring an umbre with her during this season.
She had good living habits and would definitely make some preparations every time she went out.
She opened the door and got out. After locking the door, she walked in the direction of the elevator.
As soon as she entered the elevator, Henrick''s car also stopped in the parking lot.
He had initially nned on going to his uncle''s house that night, but when he thought that chasing
his wife was more important, he gave up on his initial idea.
The food area was as lively as usual and Michelle had booked the restaurant. Alice found the
private room, pushed the door open and entered, only to see that the room was full of people.
They were all her former ssmates or Michelle''s friends, and there was arge table of men and
women.
There was a sh of surprise in Alice''s beautiful eyes. She thought that it was only going to be her
and Michelle that night.
It seemed that if she thought too much; time could make people forget a lot of things, but not only
that, it could also make them forget about other people.
When the group in the private room saw the beautiful Alice, they all looked at her in surprise.
Alice and Michelle were two beautiful women, but they were very different. Alice looked beautiful
and gentle, with bright and clear eyes that could make people feel at ease.
As for Michelle, she was dazzlingly beautiful.
Seeing that everyone''s eyes were focused on Alice, Michelle''s eyes shed with jealousy.
"Ah, Alice, you''re here. Come and sit down." Michelle pretended to be happy and called out to her.
Her hair was dark and shiny, and her facial features were well-defined and beautiful. She was about
three centimeters taller than Alice, and she wore a high-necked peacock blue dress, which made
her look more sexy and beautiful.
Alice looked at her. Michelle had grown even more mature and beautiful after not seeing her for
three years.
After greeting everyone, Alice sat down in a seat; she was separated from Michelle by two big men.
The two handsome men sitting next to Michelle whispered to her from time to time.
Michelle responded to them with happy smiles.
Sitting beside Alice was her college ssmate, Belinda Kuhn. They were just ordinary friends when
they were in college.
Since they had just met and were acquainted with each other, everyone was talking about topics
that they were interested in.
Alice was not in the same work industry as the others, so Alice couldn''t contribute much to the
conversation. As such, she simply sat there quietly and asionally ate the food in front of her, but
it didn''t taste good.
Fortunately, Giada had sent her a message to share news about her life.
Giada wrote,
"Alice, where are you? My morning sickness has reduced a lot these days. The babies are very
obedient, and they don''t torture me anymore."
Alice smiled and replied, "Gia, I''m outside. Since the babies won''t bother you anymore, you should
have a good rest!"
Giada texted, "Alice, I will. When will youe to River City? I fainted thest time we met. Since
then, we never got to meet again. I want to go to a nice food stall with you."
Alice smiled and responded, "Let Martin go with you."
Giada replied, "I''m now the most precious treasure of my family. Food stalls, barbecues, all these
types of food, no one at home allows me to eat them. Martin keeps an eye on me. I''ve been longing
for a barbecue these days."
Alice texted, "It''s fine if you only eat it once in a while."
She remembered that she also ate some when she was pregnant.
Giada wrote, "Alice, I also think so, but they won''t allow me to eat those things. I really want to eat
some things, so I asked the chef at home to make some for me, but I don''t feel like it can satisfy my
appetite."
Alice smiled. This little girl was just like her at that time. Although her mother said that she couldn''t
eat those things, she still apanied her to eat them.
The people in the private room were talking about their own matters. Alice had always kept a low
profile, so few people knew about her family.
She did not speak much and no one cared too much either. When she did speak, she did so with
her head lowered, seemingly forming two extreme scenes. It was the difference between a noisy
city and a peaceful world.
"Alice, is Liam talking to you?"
