Chapter 647

She looked back at William, who was still flipping through the books crazily, reading one after another, his eyes turning red.

William.

I want to talk to you, but I know I shouldn't bother you now.

He had his troubles.

Her annoyance.

Alice retracted her gaze, and quietly sat on the ground. Both of her hands hugged her knees, and tears slowly flowed down her face.

York.

She suddenly thought of her younger brother, whom she had never met before. She missed her parents very much.

If she could, she wouldn't want to get mixed up in this Cullen family; it's just that she had no other choice. She loved William so dearly, and she couldn't bear to part with him, but William didn't want her to.

As Alice sat on the ground, she heard the sound of pages flipping behind him.

On this day, William did not do anything as he just rummaged through the books on the bed. He even asked Daniel to help him search for them, but he did not ask for her help.

She like an outsider, watched him busy.

She pulled David back, but did not let William let go of the Cullen family's shackles either. Instead, she added another emotional burden on him.

Another day passed.

David went on a blind date with a group of people who were happily chatting in the garden.

Alice stood at the window upstairs and looked downstairs. She saw David accompanying a young golden-haired girl as they walked. The two chatted about something, and from time to time, they smiled.

They chatted merrily.

It was the life that she had pulled David back to before. Looking at their figures, Alice gradually understood what David was thinking.

His guilt towards York caused him to agree to her as soon as she said it. His guilt towards William made him care deeply about the Cullen family, even if he was to avoid everything in his heart.

But no matter what, she still pulled David back onto the path of life that he had escaped with great difficulty.

Alice looked down, and suddenly saw William at a side of a pillar. He stood there, staring coldly at David and the girl who was going on a blind date, his face expressionless.

That gaze made Alice's heart prick. William did not argue with her, but he had already made it clear that he did not like her way of doing things. He hated her pulling his brother in again.

Suddenly, William raised his head and looked in her direction, his handsome face still expressionless.

Alice bit her lips, and looked at him from a distance.

William shifted his gaze.

As time passed, other than Alice and William, everyone else had smiles on their faces. They welcomed David's return and the entire Cullen family had recovered a lot of vitality.

Even Elizabeth's body was much better.

David liked to give gifts to servants, causing Cullen family to laugh and cheer. This was a communication method that William did not have.

Among the matchmaking partners, David chose a noble lady who was deeply connected to politics and specially organized a ball for her.

All the young men and women of similar ages in the clan were invited to the Cullen family.

Kathy was overjoyed to see such a lively scene, flying around like a little bird.

On the grass, men and women were dancing hand in hand; the woman's beautiful wide skirt drew a beautiful arc, and David and his Marriage Object were dancing at the front of the crowd.

It was a beautiful and happy day.

But Alice did not know what was hidden behind those smiling faces. She stood outside the crowd and watched them quietly, with no expression on her face.

"Mistress, are you not going to dance?"

Charles stood behind Alice and asked. Today, Alice was wearing a light yellow wide skirt that was alluring and beautiful, and the pearl necklace around her neck was extremely warm and flawless.

Alice shook her head silently. How could she be happy?

"The young mistress is so beautiful today. Second Young Master will definitely come to invite you." Charles said.

William.

He wouldn't invite her. In fact, she had already shared a strange dream with William for a few days now. He was like a madman as he searched for a precedent and studied how to replace David's position.

She tried to talk to him, but each time he looked at her with a hint of restraint in his eyes.

He was trying not to blame her.

"Mom, why aren't you dancing?"

Kathy, who was wearing a beautiful little dress, ran in front of Alice and asked while pulling her skirt. Alice smiled lightly and bent down to wipe the sweat off her face, "Don't play too crazily; you're already sweating all over."

"I'm so happy." Kathy held her hand and said, "Mom, dance with him. I saw him over there."

Kathy grabbed her tightly as she walked to the other side.

Everyone here was wearing gorgeous attire, and even she had no choice but to change into a dress to welcome guests. Only William was wearing a set of grey household clothes, with slippers on his feet, as if he had just walked out of a bedroom. His black eyes coldly looked at the dancing crowd.

"Mom, go and dance. I'm going to play with Holly."

Kathy pushed Alice forward.

Alice could only walk forward. Before she even got close, David, who was dancing, walked towards William with a glass of champagne and sat down beside him. He did not notice Alice's existence and asked, "What happened between you and Alice?"

The two of them sat with their backs facing Alice.

Hearing that, Alice stood there stiffly. If she walked forward again, the atmosphere would become weird, so she could only stand by the bushes and pretend to watch other people dancing.

"Nothing."

Amid the joyous music, William's voice seemed cold and out of place.

Even though she was used to hearing William's voice, Alice's heart had still been pierced. She looked at William's figure.

'Tm not an idiot. I can see that." David sat there and sipped a mouthful of champagne as he said, "Don't get angry because of me,. She did all this for you."

"I know."

William said coldly.

How could he not know that Alice had done it for him?

"You still act like that even after knowing the truth?" David frowned as he looked at his younger brother.

William's face was cold,;his black eyes looked coldly at the people dancing on the grass, "She is my woman, her fault is my fault, and I cannot tolerate myself making mistakes!"

"William, this cannot be blamed on Alice. She only said that and he did not tie me up to make me come back." David looked at him and spoke in a solemn voice, "It was my decision to come back; it has nothing to do with Alice. If you get mad at her about it, I'll feel guilty about her."

"I already owe her brother. I don't want to owe her anymore." David said as he looked at William.

"Will you die?"

William sat there and suddenly asked, his eyes still not looking at David.

Hearing that, Alice who was standing not far away trembled.

David sat there and laughed, he then took a sip of the champagne and said, "What are you talking about; why would I die ?"

"It's more painful for you to be married, have children, and inherit your family's property than to die." William suddenly turned his head and looked at him with his sharp eyes, seeing through him. "Ten-odd years ago, you were only faking your death, will you really die this time?"

So it turned out that William was actually afraid of this.

He was afraid that she would force his big brother into a corner, just like how Joseph Cullen was back then.

Alice stood there soundlessly. She sat beside William, drank another mouthful of champagne and forced a smile, "So you were worried about this matter. Don't worry; I won't die."

"It used to be in the past. Your brother was too weak and did so many wrong things, but now I have come to a realization. Don't worry about me anymore." David said, extending his hand to pat his shoulder, "I think I need everything that I have right now. I don't reject it."

William stared at him solemnly, "Alright, you swear it with my mother's life." "There's no need to be so serious." David was still smiling, laughing with a guilty conscience.

"David." William's black eyes were sinister, the thin lip slightly lifted, and said with a low and cold voice. "You are the most cowardly man I've ever seen, you can escape for over ten years if you escape."

David's face was a little ugly.

"But you are my only brother. I won't see you dying." Wearing his clothes, William sat there and suddenly extended his hand out and grabbed tightly onto his collar as he glared at him and roared, "Give me the seat before it's too late! Do you hear me?

,"

He searched for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to perfectly replace his eldest son without causing any ripples.

If this dragged on, David would be married.

David allowed him to grasp his collar as he slightly frowned. His voice became mature as he said, "William, you have to give me some responsibility of being my brother. Go back to San Francisco with Alice. I promise: I won't die.

"I don't believe you!"

"William, listen, give me the position. I won't allow my mistake to lead to an unexpected result!"

For someone who was afraid of being pressured and hiding for more than ten years, William truly could not believe that he could take on the Cullen family. "There is nothing that cannot be predicted. If the two of us join forces, we will leave a deep mark on this world! This is what my father and mother hoped for the most! " David deeply furrowed his brows, his tone becoming heavier. "Heavy Ink Color?" William sneered, "I have only seen your path to death!" "William, I am your brother. I admit that you are intelligent, but you don't think that there is nothing you can't do." David said.

"I'm not like you, you can only solve a problem with your life!" How could he not worry about this.

"William, you're done! You have the IQ to manage the Cullen family, and you don't have the EQ to manage it either! Cullen family is mine, so don't cause any more trouble!"

The two brothers started to argue. Hearing that, William stood up and kicked towards David, directly pushing him and the chair down onto the grass.

"Bam!"

The sound was intense.

The music stopped.

The people who were dancing stopped one by one, and looked at the two of them in astonishment. Charles and Daniel both moved forward.
