Alice knew that Michael was not asleep but she didn’t shy away from looking at him. Her gaze was passionate and it showed her love for him very obviously.
Although she indeed joined the crew because she was sent on a mission, after hanging out with Michael for a few days, she began to have an interest in Michael.
“What are you thinking about?” she asked softly.
Michael’s eyes were closed and he flatly replied, “None of your concern.”
The colder he was to Alice, the more Alice pursued him. She continued to look at him and in a seemingly joking tone, she said, “You saved me so I should repay you. What kind of repayment do you want? Why don’t I give myself to you? Isn’t this a popular Cethosian way to repay kindness?”
The two of them were alone in the room, burning with passion and desire. In such an atmosphere, Alice’s words undoubtedly showed that she was hinting and teasing Michael. She had a curvy figure, beauty, and a shrewd mind. It was almost effortless for her to win a man’s heart.
In this world, there had never been a man that she couldn’t get. However, Michael seemed to not understand what she was hinting at him. He didn’t give her any reply, as if he was sound asleep.
Alice knew that he wasn’t asleep. He just didn’t want to bother with her.
Any teasing will be useless at this time. Now is not the right time.
After a moment of silence, Alice asked, “Taylor, are you asleep?” Michael didn’t answer. Alice knew that he wasn’t sleeping so she asked, “Can you help me? I need to go to the washroom…”
There was a strong sense of teasing in her sweet voice. Most men would probably lose control after hearing this.
In the end, Michael spoke up but he sounded irritated. “The conditions here are not great. You can pee in your pants.”
Alice was rendered speechless. Then, Michael turned his back against Alice and went to sleep. When Alice saw that Michael was distancing himself from her, she was stunned for a moment before she shook her head and chuckled.
Late at night in Bayside City, Carmen’s screams and wailing could be heard from the Edwards residence. Carmen was rolling on the ground while crying, “I want to see daddy! Daddy!”
The few nannies didn’t know what to do and Cooper was so anxious, he was drenched in sweat. He then picked up Carmen and held her in his arms as he tried to coax her. “Your daddy is filming in the middle of the mountains and there is no signal there, so he can’t call you!”
Carmen didn’t understand what Cooper was saying at all, and all she wanted was to see her father. Her cries were so loud, nobody in the house could sleep. Everyone surrounded her and tried to comfort her.
Linus was also anxious. He took Carmen from Cooper’s arms to help coax her, but she writhed in his arms. She wouldn’t go to sleep without seeing her father and she cried the whole night. She wouldn’t even eat and her voice was hoarse from all the crying.
Both Cooper and Linus couldn’t stop her from crying. Seeing this, Nathan put on the embarrassing bear suit and tried to coax Carmen. “Stop crying. I’ll dance a bear dance for you, okay?”
However, Carmen continued wailing and sobbing as she replied, “I want daddy…”
Seeing his granddaughter crying so hard, Cooper felt extremely anxious and he made phone calls to Michael again and again.
Communication in the town was disrupted because of the storm. Fortunately, phones that were produced by the Michel Group were still working and there wasn’t any problem with satellite communication. Sean reported the situation on his side and told Cooper that Michael and Alice had disappeared into the mountains together. Moreover, there was a blizzard and the sky was dark, so they couldn’t enter the mountains to search for them. They could only wait after dawn came and the snow stopped. Sophia also cried in the hotel the whole night and nobody could coax her.
Two of Cooper’s precious babies were crying—one was crying in the hotel while the other was crying in his arms. Cooper felt so heartbroken, he was about to have a breakdown.
“As soon as dawn breaks, go up the mountain and dig out that b*stard! I’ve already sent some men over! Also, tell him to coax my daughter well. Otherwise, I’ll chop his head off!”
Cooper had also long known about Michael making Sophia cry.
