It had been more than three months since he'd seen his daughter's photo. It was better than her, she hadn't even seen a picture of Holly, and Holly's voice was unfamiliar.
It was all imagination.
"You painted Holly?"
William stared at the picture and asked.
She painted Holly too much like the Kathy, not like brother and sister, but more like a sister.
Alice lowered her eyes in silence. Every picture she took for Kathy, she would draw a picture of her son on the side.
Occasionally, when she looked at the photo from a distance, she would feel that her twins had never been separated.
"You drew the wrong one. Holly's eyes are not as big as Kathy's, they're a little smaller, and her eyebrows are a little darker than Kathy's." William said as he handed the photo over to Alice, "Modify it and I will tell you."
Alice looked at the photo in her hand in a daze, her lips moved slightly as she said with great difficulty, "I don't want to hear it."
William stared at her. Alice lowered her head and used both hands to pinch the photo hard.
Only now did William realise that she had a lot of little tricks up her sleeves as she used this way to control her emotions.
Had it been the same every time she and he had met before?
"You never asked me what Holly looked like." William asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to know."
Alice said, her voice sounded rough.
"Why?"
William asked.
Alice closed her eyes, she placed the photo back into her bag, and after pondering for a long time, she said, "You don't know what mother thinks about her child, you know too much, I'm afraid that I will disregard everything and rush to see him, to snatch him away."
Holly.
The baby she had never seen before. She had done nothing for him.
Other than drawing a little picture in the photo and pretending that he and Kathy grew up by her side, she could do nothing. She had already given up on him, so what right did she have to know his appearance?
"Is that so?"
William looked at her and retorted, "Alice, tell me, how have you spent the past half year?"
Hearing this, Alice understood that the real reason why he was drenched last night was because of Beverly's words.
"You don't have to care about that. It's over."
Alice lowered her head and said indifferently, trying her best to sound calm and collected, making it seem like a thing that wasn't worth mentioning.
"Since it is already in the past, why can't I say anything? Speak, I want to know."
William asked in a deep voice. When a gust of wind blew, he coughed lightly and a pigeon pecked on his shoes.
Cough.
He was still sick.
"William, if you are not feeling well, go back to the hospital. There are so many things for you to do in N.E.
Alice said.
Because he was looking for her, he had been in silence for more than half a year.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't leave."
William said hesitantly.
Alice pursed her lips, and said after a moment of silence, "It's really nothing, it's just that my body was exhausted when I was giving birth to twins. Don't you think I'm doing pretty good now?"
I've wasted my body, and that's all.
"What else?" William asked.
"There's nothing else."
"What did they do to you in the Tower?" William asked.
"They treated me quite well, you know that the Cullen family wanted the child in my stomach, so even if it was for the sake of the child, they wouldn't do anything to me." Alice said casually, "Charles is also a good person, he has always taken good care of me."
William stared at her, his eyes deep, "I want to hear the truth. "Cough."
When the wind blew, William coughed.
Alice listened to his coughing, frowned, closed her eyes and said honestly, "Since I was young, I don't like the feeling of being bound. At that time, if you abandon me, I will be imprisoned in the Cullen family's tower, and imprisonment in itself would be enough to make me feel pain."
"And then?"
William asked while the thin lip remained silent.
"Actually, when I was first imprisoned, I thought that you would come and save me. However, they would always reveal to me whether it was intentionally or not, telling me how good your life was and how happy you and Mona were." Alice laughed bitterly, "My ears are so soft, I believed it at that time. So, I hate you more and more, day by day."
William heard her voice and tightened his grip on his thigh.
"Later on, I knew that there was no hope for me to escape, so I resigned myself to my fate. Then, on the day of production, Cullen family intentionally told me about the engagement oath. I didn't know why, but I gave birth in advance. " This was the first time Alice told William about her own experience for the greater half of a year.
"And after we return to the Brown family?"
William continued to ask. He actually wanted to know more details, but she deliberately softened his words.
She had suffered more than that, he believed.
"After I born the babies in England, I was taken away in the middle of the night. I was brought to Italy, and my body was very weak. At first, Patrick tried to hide that one of my children had been taken away, but I still knew." Alice said, she looked at the pigeons looking for food on the lawn and said, "Since then, my body has gotten worse. But the family took good care of me, they got me the best doctor, they gave me the best medicine, I'm fine now, I can still work."
William listened silently, his eyes staring straight at her, his expression pitch black and his expression cold.
He just kept looking at her.
Every time she was ill it was with him, the high fever at home, the early childbirth in England, the grief of losing a child in Italy.
Every time, every time, it was because of him.
"Answer me! Does this question need to be thought over for so long? " William glared at her and asked, his voice extremely hoarse.
Alice sat there, her long hair fluttering in the wind. After a long time, she opened her mouth and whispered, "I don't dare to say how happy I am to be with Qian Chu, but I must be calm."
Calm.
She needed peace so badly.
That's good too, she couldn't be hurt by him again.
"You were in love with him when he saved you from England."
William said, but he was already certain that it was not a question.
When she was in such a state of despair and pain, she hated him to the bone. But since Patrick had saved her, such a large disparity naturally moved her.
Heh.
He actually couldn't compare to Patrick at that point of time, and he had to thank Patrick even when it came to this matter.
It was Patrick who brought her out of that place in the tower.
"I am very grateful to him." Alice said in a mysterious tone.
Hearing these words, William's ears became filled with love.
William's expression darkened, his upper and lower rows of teeth were grinding together, he really wanted to bite and shatter it.
"Alice, if I let you be with Patrick right now, would I be able to win some last bit of gratitude from you?"
William asked, this sentence of his was extremely difficult to say, and his voice had become even more hoarse.
No hate.
No love.
It would be nice to be grateful, wouldn't it?
Alice sat there in shock, looking at him in disbelief.
Her expression became one of anticipation in William's eyes. He laughed at himself, but quickly retracted his smile and glared at her with his black eyes, "Don't even think about it!"
"..." Alice could not adapt to his attitude of today.
"Don't forget, we have the 'breakup contract'. You have to wait two years before you can enter a relationship!" William stared at her.
Alice nodded, "I know."
"It's good that you know this!"
William glared at her and suddenly stood up from the stairs, pacing a few steps in place, as though he was extremely uncomfortable, his footsteps a little messy.
Alice lowered her head silently.
Suddenly, William's decisive voice sounded in the air, "Make me a meal!"
