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 tofort 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 yearste, 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.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    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''ste. 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 ce is like a pce. 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.


    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 helpughing.


    "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 toe 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 thepany, 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 toe


    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 wille 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 hade 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 nced 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 wee back party. You cane over


    and sign the contract tomorrow night."
