Chapter 154 âDonât you think you owe an apology?â She stopped right in front of her.â I think we didnât deserve that, Alice. After all that, we did for you. And not to mention how much we were worried about you. We truly believed that you died, or worse....
She lowered her head.
âIâm sorryâ
Mum took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She lowered her head this time, putting her hands on her waist like she had so many things to say, but she didnât want to scare us away. After a few moments she looked back at Alice, and she continued, this time much calmer, âItâs nice to see you are healthy, and I would like to welcome you back into our family, but this time I hope youâll never leave us the way you did.â Mumâs voice was softer, and that made Alice calmer a little. She had a smile on her face and she nodded.
âI promise that, Mrs. Sullivan.â
âGood. So, I invited you two to a family dinner tomorrow, and just like I said to my son, there are no excuses. You must be there.â
Alice looked at her in disbelief, just like I did when she invited me, but finally, she nodded.
âThank you, Mrs. Sullivan. I think we have no other choice than but to attend.â And she smiled. That made me frown, but mum smiled and nodded her. She gave her two kisses âThen see you tomorrow, darling.â Then she turned to me.
âSee you tomorrow, Gideon.â
my e âYeah.â I said. She stepped to me, and she got closer to my ear.
âA nice looking and smart woman.â
I moved my gaze on Alice, and I understood her. Even if I havenât agreed with her when she said in a relationship a woman could wear the pants, I had to admit that Alice was the only woman on Earth who could make me do what she wanted. I laughed, just like she did, then she turned around and walked out.
Alice walked to me with a smile on her face.
âWere you serious?â I whispered to her, avoiding mum to hear my question.
She shrugged her shoulders.
âWell, I donât think she would forgive me if I refuse her.â
âAlice, even if my mum is like that, I donât know what my dad is going to say. He might just throw us out of the house.â
She frowned.
âIs this case so serious?â
âAlice, it is serious.â
She just looked at me like she tried to read me before she talked.
âGideon, he is your father. I didnât spend a long time with them, but I noticed how much he loves you. Donât tell me he would exclude you from the âAlice, in our world, what I did is called betrayal.â
âBut you saved them. They should be proud of you. You helped your family. If someone helps someone, the person who received help is usually grateful I smiled. I walked closer, and I embraced her. My mumâs words echoed in my head. Good looking and smart Chapter 154 âHow much do you know about what happened?â I asked her quietly.
âNot much. I tried to ask Riccardo, but he wanted me to focus on skating.â
I sighed, then I caressed her back.
*Come on, weâve got to pack She looked at me with a little sadness, but she smiled and we walked upstairs. Apparently, seeing her old things made her happy. She only looked sad when she found her figure skates, which I bought for her. I sat next to her.
âIâm gu âIâm guessing your recent skates are better than these.â
She smiled.
âThey are just as good as these. I would love to wear these, but I canât change them now,â
âI know. You can save these for later. It will be good for something.â
She looked at me and nodded with a smile. She put the figure skates back into the box, and she put it in a bag. Actually, I wanted her to use it, but I understood that even if she would have been foolish enough to change them now, probably her trainers would have forbidden that for her.
âAre you ready?â I asked her.
âYes, but do you seriously want to spend the night in the new house?â
âYes.â
âOkayâ she said, and she stood up. I followed her. We grabbed our bags, then we strolled down. We only packed what was necessary. I planned to ask my people to take the rest of our stuff for us in the new house.
Finally, when we placed everything in the car, I had a last look at my first paradise, which turned into hell in the end.
I felt her hand slipping around my waist, and her head leaned on my shoulder.
âWill you miss this place?â she asked me and I shook my head.
âNo. I believe our new home will have me in a few days.â
âI hope so. And what are you going to do with this one?â
âIâm going to sell it, of course.â
She didnât say a word. I opened the car door for her, and I helped her to get in. I drove to the new house. The main bedroom and the bathroom were spacious. We took our suitcases into the wardrobe and after we finished unpacking; I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. It made her Biggle.
âWhatâs next?â I asked her.
âI think we should eat first.â
âI bet the fridge is empty.â
âThen we have to do some shopping.â
-frowned.
âDo you mean to go to the grocery shop?â
She broke free from my arms and turned around to look at me with a smile.
âYes.
Chapter 154 âI never go there.â I said while I made a face.
âWell, then it will be a novel experience for you.â She laughed and grabbed my hand. I rolled my eyes in disbelief, then I just followed her.
She searched for the nearest one on her phone, and I drove there. After we agreed on what to eat, we went in. It wasnât as horrible as I thought. Actually, just before we finished, I admitted I had a little fun checking and comparing the products before purchasing them, We drove back home, and finally I got what I missed for a long time. I stood at the kitchen door for a few seconds to watch my beautiful Alice while she was preparing for cooking in our house in our kitchen.
âDo you need help?â
