Chapter 1701 I Just Want to Be Alone
Alison was a little surprised to see Ernesto, but not that surprised about that. Her dull eyes finally had a
hint of brightening.

“I just want to be alone.”
“Well, I''ll apany you.”
Ernesto sat beside her, looked at the dishes that she had not started eating, and asked, “Not to your
liking? What do you want to eat? I''ll make it for you.”
Tears suddenly came into Alison''s eyes.
Her voice was hoarse as she whispered, “I want to eat meatballs with sweet and sour sauce and fried
rice with eggs that my mom makes, and I want to...”
As she said, the tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ernesto felt a sudden heartache.
He pulled Alison into his arms and whispered, “Once dead, the departed one could note back
again. Look at the bright side, and such an ending should be good for them. If they''re holding in
captivity for a lifetime and losing their freedom, you''re the only one who getsfort. How could
people like your parents spend their whole life in prison? They are always so ambitious. Alison, you
can''t be too selfish.”
“I know what you say is right, but I just can''t let go and can''t go over it. If I had known that my parents
were nning to do so, I would never have been so indifferent to them. I was regretful. I was afraid to
be too good to them, and I would not be able to be ruthless when the time came. But I didn''t expect...”
Alison was loaded down with regret as if she was about to lose her breath.
Ernesto gently patted her on the back and said, “There''s no moving back in the world. So do you still
want to leave me because of what you had missed and then regret again?”
Alison was stunned and looked at the man in front of her. At first, she thought he was childish and
timid. She even thought that he was ipetent to be the assistant of Samuel, but now Alison realized
that none of Samuel''s men were fools indeed.
“You''re very eloquent.”
Alison left his arms and wiped her tears. She suddenly felt she was like having a nightmare these days.
That was right.
She had got into a blind alley, and if Ernesto had not spoken, she probably would have continued to
dwell on it.
The death of her parents was a big blow to her, but she had a long life ahead of her, and she still had a
lot to do.
Alison straightened out her thinking and asked in a low voice, “What about my mother''s funeral
arrangement...”
“I''ve settled, and the urn is in the ancestral shrine. When we go back to the country, we''ll bring it back
together. The ashes of your father, your grandfather, and your aunt have been indistinguishable, so I
put them together. If you want, you can bring theirs back to the country too. I also investigated more
about the Close family. If you want, we''ll go to the origin of the family to bury them after we return. I''ve
already bought thend, and it''s in progress. The progress will be almost finished when we are back.”
As Alison listened to Ernesto, who had orderly handled the matters, she felt very grateful within, but
she said, “Who asked you to be nosy?”
“I did it willingly, and besides, didn''t you say to me that you would marry me when this mission was
over? Ms. Close, I would like to ask a question. When will you marry me?”
Alison suddenly felt a little touched when she looked at Ernesto''s honest eyes.
“You don''t mind that I''m a descendant of the Closes?"
“I marry you, not the whole Closes. Why do I care so much? Besides, at the beginning when I met you,
you were just a mere bodyguard, Ms. Close.”
Alison suddenly smiled after hearing what Ernesto said.
“I didn''t think I would get married in this life. In my n, there was no such n as getting married and
having children.”
“It''s okay. ns always fall behind changes. It''s not toote, and we can change the n slowly.”
Ernesto solved the problem once he saw the problem.
Since Ernesto took over as the regional president of thepany, Alison found out that it was more
difficult for her to suppress Ernesto.
“I have a prescription for dealing with the epidemic. Mrs. Green gave it to me. Use it on them, and then
we can go back to the country after a short quarantine. I want to go home.”
“Alright.”
Ernesto was readily solving any problem Alison might get.
She finally raised her head.
They made tight arrangements, while Samuel also needed to send the cooperation proposal back to
the country immediately. He went to the hospital on the battlefield.
Nicole was soothing the infected people. The tears came into Samuel''s eyes when he looked at her
busy figure.
When he first came to this country, he was afraid that he could not see Nicole and their children again.
He realized now that he had not only the faith to serve the country but also the affection for his family.
Samuel slowly went behind Nicole and hugged her from behind.
The familiar scent made Nicole stunned, and her heart suddenly warmed up. The worries and
apprehension these days had dissipated thoroughly at this moment.
“You''re back?”
“Yes, it''s been hard for you.”
Samuel put his chin on Nicole''s shoulder, and he felt satisfied and reassured.
Samuel smelled Nicole''s hair and said in a low voice, “I miss you.”
“I miss you too.”
Nicole turned around and looked at Samuel, who had lost some weight these days. And tears came
into her eyes.
“I was afraid that you were hurt. Tell me, are you hurt?”
“No, but Tim was seriously injured, and Theresa''s and Trevin''s people were also hurt.”
Samuel wanted to bare his heart to Nicole, but there were so many people, and it was the quarantine
area. He could not do something intimate with Nicole even if he wanted. So it was better to say
something else to change the subject.
Nicole took Samuel''s hand and went to a separate room. As soon as they entered the room, Samuel
directly pinned her against the door and immediately kissed her passionately and dominantly.
Nicole also put her arms around him and responded passionately.
The two who had reunited after a long departure kissed fiercely, and they threw their clothes
everywhere. The two eventually fell on the bed and made love.
After a long time, Nicole leaned against Samuel''s sturdy chest, gasped her breath slightly, and said, “I
finally know that it''s not easy to be the wife of a soldier. Although I admire the soldier, I''m d that you
didn''t stay in the battlefield. Otherwise, I would''ve suffocated. I admit that I''m small-minded that I only
want to stay with my man, day and night, and live together with my man longer. I''m okay with such a
separation with you once or twice, but if it''s a lifetime separation, I''ll go crazy.”
Samuel stroked her hair, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
“Besides me, many people will also go to war. When the country needs me, I will naturally stand up for
the country. But usually, I prefer to stay with you and our kids. Nicole, the Close family is over. Mr.
Morty will begin to clean up the army, but that''s not our business. Why don''t you think about where
we''re going to travel?”
Travel?
That was a good idea.
Nicole smiled contentedly but did not see a sneaky figure past the window.
