Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2312

As Henrick watched the way she was behaving, he, for some reason, wanted to laugh but knew better than that. In the event that he broke into laughter, Allie would surely go ballistic.

"Allie, listen to me. Whatever happened last night, don't take it to heart. You are my girlfriend, and you don't have to hide anything in front of me. Just be yourself. What I like is the real you. So, don't feel embarrassed."

"If you can't even act as you please in front of your boyfriend, you're in for a tough life."

"So, Allie, with me, you can do whatever you want in the future."

Stunned, Alice bored her gaze into his handsome face with a smile. To be honest, she was moved by his words.

"Can you really tolerate everything about me?" Alice looked at him and asked in surprise.

Henrick asked in lieu of an answer, "Alice, how do you think of me? Why can't I tolerate everything about you?" That day, they could have a chance to talk about this question.

Alice's eyes flashed as she said in a low voice, "I used to think that you were a scumb*g!"

She almost shocked the daylight out of him. These words were so heart-wrenching!

Alice looked at his handsome face and suddenly felt lost, but then a smile spread across her face. "Now that I've been with you, I can pick up on your tactfulness and sensitivity."

Henrick instantly beamed with joy. Indeed, if this was not the power of words, he didn't know what was.

The first sentence had catalyzed his freefall to the bottom, and the next one could vault him over the clouds!

Grinning an all-teeth grin, Henrick looked at Alice.

Alice was humored by his tomfoolery.

"You really have a low threshold for compliments!"

Henrick replied, "That's because the one who praised me is you, Allie."

"Humph! You really have a way with your words. Let me ask you, how do you know who Mr. Poplar is working with?"

Henrick suddenly remembered what had happened the night before and was still in a bad mood. He filled her in with the narrative - from his call to Lane and what he had learned from Anson.

After hearing that, Alice was frightened anew. If he hadn't come to pick her up last night, she would have been taken advantage of by that man.

"What about those people now?"

Henrick replied, "The police station. They're building a case against those men."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. "Good riddance."

Her eyes searched Henrick's face. She thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Henrick! If it weren't for you last night, I wouldn't have imagined what would have happened."

"Fool!" Henrick smiled dotingly and said, "Allie, in your drunkenness, you had spoken your sober heart. Was what you said last night true?"

Alice's face turned red in an instant. Was it not too late for her to say that she didn't remember what she had said?

Soon as she woke up from her sleep, her memory came rushing back to her.

She would rather she couldn't remember anything now.

"What... what did I say?" Alice intended to crawl into the safety of her pretension for the time being.

This would be the most humiliating moment to ever go down in her history!

And in front of her Prince Charming.

Seeing that she had put on that act again, Henrick felt a little helpless. However, after what had happened the night before, he already knew that she still had him in her heart. That was enough.

"Henrick, I'm in the mood for potato chips. Get me the original flavor. I'm craving them now." Alice thought about it and changed the topic, since staying on it was too embarrassing.

Henrick stood up and said, "Give me a minute. I'll get them."

"Go on." Alice didn't dare to look at him but only raised her head when the door was closed.

The phone beside her vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was Gia, who sent her a message. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alice, how are you getting on with my brother recently? Marlon is doing just fine, so you don't have to worry. My dad took him to Uncle Anson's house to play with Jacqueline today."

Alice skimmed the message and smiled. She knew that her son was living a good life there.

Every night, on the video call with him, he was so excited that he danced with joy.

Alice replied, "Gia, your brother and I are doing great."

She thought for a moment before sharing with her about what happened the night before.

There was no word that was unspeakable between her and Giada. Except for anything Henrick- related.

Alice had edited her message several times before she was able to formulate an intelligible account of last night's incident.

When Giada saw it, she doubled over in the bed, cackling like nobody's business.

Martin, who was watching from the side, just smiled dotingly and hugged her to watch them chat.

Although he could not see the smiles on their faces, it was obvious that happiness was contagious.

Giada replied, "Alice, Henrick's tone has changed a lot. I found that he has matured very fast during this period of time. Alice, it was you who changed him and made him grow up. Alice, when will you become my sister-in-law?"

"If you become a part of our family, we'll be able to have fun together."

Looking at her words, Alice couldn't help laughing.

Alice replied, "Humph, you only want me to become an Alwynn just so we could have fun together?" Of course, this was a joke. She knew that Gia would not take it to heart.

Giada answered, "Alice, it's true that we're going to have fun together, and it's true that you're my sister-in-law. You don't even know how much my mother likes you. After she went to Lemmon City for half a month, she kept talking about you. Our family is super fond of you."

"Of course, we would rather that your feelings are mutual."

Alice took a deep breath. Henrick's sudden appearance had made up for a lot of regrets in her life, the ups and downs of their youth. What she wanted to do with him was recorded in the notebook.

Right then, they had completed several things together. They had gone shopping, watched movies, and attended parties together. All of these had been realized.

Alice replied, "I know."

Giada added, "I've ordered some truffles. I'll send some over to you by air. Make sure to eat them."

It occurred to Alice that it was the peak season for truffles.

In previous years, the Alwynn family would deliver some, airborne, to their families.

Alice thanked her, "Thank you, Gia!"

Giada said, "I won't keep you any longer. I'm going for a walk."

Alice replied, "Okay, take care of yourself. Don't tire yourself out."

When she was done chatting with Giada, Henrick came back with assorted bags in his hands.

Alice walked over and took it. "Why did you buy so much?"

Henrick replied, "Force of habit."

Alice was speechless as she thought, "Well, his family likes to eat, so it's normal for him to buy so much!"

Alice took out the flavor she liked and ate it.

As she ate, she thought of the expression on Henrick's face when he went out. His expression dampened her mood, as if there was something he couldn't solve, which made her very uncomfortable!

She simply put down the potato chips in her hand and asked, "Henrick Alwynn, are you hiding something from me? Say, some issues you can't solve?"

She wanted to share the burden with him.

Henrick smiled and said, "No - what issue can I have? But let's rest for a while and go home. Dr. Harris will be here soon."

An idea flashed through Alice's mind. Her gaze flinched to his hand and thought, "Sheesh, how stupid can I be. His utmost concern right now is his hand."
